B Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously(匿名). But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced(增强) by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work. The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy. You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the-places where Jane lived, walked and shopped. 24. When did Jane Austen pay two long visits to Bath? A. In her early twenties. B. In her early teens. C. In her late twenties. D. In her late teens. 25. What can we learn about Bath from the passage? A. Bath has greatly changed since Jane Austen's death. B. The city has changed as much as Jane Austen knew it. C. Bath remains almost the same as in Jane Austen's time. D. No changes have taken place in Bath since Jane Austen's time. 26. It is indicated that the Jane Austen Centre . A. is a newly built building to attract tourists B. is distant from the central area of the city C. provides visitors with products about Jane Austen D. was set up by the Jane Austen Society independently 27. It takes you about one and a half hours . A. to get to the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street B. to buy Jane Austen-related books, cards and gifts C. to find a guide to take you to the Centre D. to look around the city of Bath on foot C There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn't treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair? We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we get. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—— it's largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt. Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution rather than complaint. I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don't create fairness, but people's desire and determination can work around most life challenges. It doesn't matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services company. Stories such as this are all around us—— they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate the courage to overcome the mindset of fairness. 28. What is the primary purpose of the passage? A. To promote “efforts over complaint”. B. To stress the importance of fairness. C. To share an inspiring story of a friend. D. To prove that there are no miracles. 29. What's the writer's attitude towards the mindset of fairness? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Sympathetic. D. Indifferent. 30. What opinion may the writer agree to? A. Most of us can have impacts on the results we achieve. B. Our background determines our choices. C. People's desire and determination create unfairness. D. We should depend on fairness to solve all problems. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Fairness Is Justice B. Life Is Not Fair—— Deal With It C. Fairness Comes First D. Cry for Fairness D Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard—— he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night—— but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she doesn't actually accomplish much. This phenomenon can be seen in most colleges. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students I used to see in there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain's ability to think clearly and efficiently to accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort. The bigger problem here is that most students don't even realize that they' re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work—— it's how they' ve always done it, and it's how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it, and for good reason it not only wastes time, but it's also mentally tiring. In fact, the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about 50 minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material learned per time unit. So how can students manage to study efficiently? One key factor is captured in the following simple formula: work accomplished= time spent× intensity of focus. Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach, on the other hand, maximizes intensity in order to minimize time. 32. What is a pseudo-worker described as? A. A poor monitor. B. An effective learner. C. A damaging cheater. D. An inefficient learner. 33. What may result from pseudo-working? A. Distracting straight-A students. B. Finishing task with less time. C. Mental exhaustion with little achievement. D. Decreased IQ. 34. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 5. mean? A. Longest. B. Best. C. Least. D. Shortest. 35. Why does the author mention the formula in the last paragraph? A. To show the benefit of working hard. B. To emphasize the importance of concentration. C. To prove the necessity of accomplishing work. D. To explain the reason for spending much time. 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。 Breaking bad news is never an easy task. ____36____ Therefore, understanding how to break bad news effectively is essential. Before you break bad news, it is important to offer comfort to the person, if appropriate. Make the connection between the identification of the emotions and the cause, and make it clear to the recipient that you get the connection. Do this by acknowledging their response, such as “I can see that you’re really upset and angry.” or “____37____” It is equally crucial to ensure that the setting is both comfortable and private. Avoid breaking bad news in public, where the person may feel exposed and unable to process their emotions. ____38____ Turn off any distracting devices and consider having a supportive third person present if appropriate. ____39____ This allows you to avoid repetition and tailor your message according to the severity and personal relevance of the news — whether it involves the loss of a pet, a job, or a family member. Finally, breaking bad news should not end with the delivery itself. ____40____ Help the person consider what steps to take next, whether it’s planning a memorial or exploring new opportunities. Offer specific assistance, such as accompanying them somewhere or explaining what will happen next. By following these steps, you can break bad news in a way that reduces distress and helps the recipient begin to cope. A. This is clearly a terrible shock. B. Have a clear plan for follow-up support. C. I am sorry to tell you what has happened. D. Try to determine what the person already knows. E. Choose your words to avoid discomfort and privacy invasion. F. Instead, choose a quiet place with minimal chance of interruption. G. But breaking it at the wrong time or in the wrong way can be even worse. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to believe that friendship was something that happened naturally, like finding a missing puzzle piece.

My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen— teaching English literature. School started. I was teaching English literature. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class who were only six years younger than me. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love for written word. But the students only threw spitballs(纸团) and whispered dirty words in the back of the classroom. In my opinion, I had thought that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students perfect lecturing. But in fact, humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem to be reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my supervisor, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise. My boss sat in the back of the classroom. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn't happening and went on talking and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes, he left silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes. I felt mildly proud that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period, I knew I had to face him. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After class, I walked to his office, took a deep breath and opened the door. Inspired by his advice, I determined to make a change the very next day. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
