There is a common belief in the U.K.that Americans don't understand irony /()This is of course not true.But what is true is that Americans don't use it all the time. Irony may show up in American comedies,but people there don't use it as much as Brits in daily life and it is generally seen as inappropriate in situations 21 it is normal in the U.K. On the contrary,irony is a common feature of British culture.It virtually 22 (run)in the blood of Brits.They use it as liberally as prepositions in everyday conversations,as a way of mocking their enemies,23(play)with their friends and laughing at themselves. This may sometimes be considered as offensive 24 the recipients are not used to it. But,it,in fact,is almost a sign of affection if a Brit likes you.

However,we should not neglect the fact that certain American comedies 30 (gain) huge success in Britain and vice versa.Therefore,although there are differences between both comic styles,there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other's sense of humour.

C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The term"staycation"means vacations that you take at home or near your home rather than traveling to another place.It is is closely connected with less pollution,saving money and not contributing to the overwhelming disorder that takes place in some of the world's most touristic areas. The concept of staycation was born at the time of the 2008 market 41 in the United States. Because of it,many households were forced to 42 their expenses and consequently limit their vacation budget.The shortage of money to travel abroad is at the origin of why many people started to rediscover their most 43 surroundings At the same time,awareness of the 44 impacts of tourism,especially on what concerns the impacts of transportation,started to increase too.And so did the perception that some of the main cities (abroad)are increasingly overloaded with people --with places such as Barcelona,Venice,or the Seychelles planning on 45 a tourist cap. Staycation appears like a great solution for the 46 above mentioned.It is a great way of spending joyful vacations while helping one's 47 and the environment.48, staying close to home eliminates the budget for accommodation and transport. Apart from the financial 49 gained by leaving behind expensive plane tickets or by not booking hotel rooms that aren't cheap,staycation also has the benefit of keeping harmful 50 in the ground.Cars,boats,and planes are not (or are less)used;51,other means of transport such as public transport,bicy cles,electric scooters or just walking are favored. This allows people's carbon footprints not to 52 as much as they would if long distances had been traveled. A stay cation is a form of alternative tourism that is fully in line with the slow tourism trend. Slow tourism invites you to live in the 53 moment.It encourages you to take your time, discover nearby landscapes,reconnect and spend more time outdoors in nature with the people you enjoy,There are no fully-booked days,and there is no 54 to go from one activity to another just to stay busy all the time. Given the multiple 55 of local tourism,you no longer have a reason to be embarrassed at the coffee machine at work when you are asked where you are going on vacation this year. 试卷第4页，共10页 41.A.value B.sector C.crisis D.shares 42.A.restrict B.bear C.avoid D.meet 43.A.cheerful B.immediate C.polluted D. attractive 44.A.limited B.financial C.cultural D. environmental 45.A.introducing B.stopping C.postponing D.raising 46.A.challenges B.assessment C.tasks D. applications 47.A.voyage B.mind C.pocket D.hometown 48.A.In addition B.For example C.In fact D.On the contrary 49.A.services B.advice C.resources D.savings 50.A.emissions B.exposure C.vehicles D.strategies 51.A.therefore B.instead C.however D.moreover 52.A.last B.fall C.increase D.change 53.A.historic B.present C.critical D. climatic 54.A.g00d B.harm C.blame D.rush 55.A.advantages B.challenges C.platforms D.themes Section B Directions:Read the following two passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read (A) Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.

Using Facebook was a challenge at first.Diagnosed in 2010 with pseudotumor cerebri,a rare health condition in which pressure increases around the brain and can result in the loss of vision,Wright learned how to use a screen reader to read the site through the touch of the keyboard and sound of a robotic voice.Still,when a friend sends her a photo,Wright often has no clue what the image shows. Now Facebook is trying to solve this problem by exploiting the power of artificial intelligence to create new tools that not only describe items in a photo but allows users to ask what's in an image. "I can have a basic picture in my mind of what's going on in the picture and now I can comment on my own,"said Wright,who got to try out the new tools that are still being tested."Of course,it's different,but it's something more than I had." An estimated 285 million people are visually disabled globally,according to the World Health Organization,and research conducted by Facebook showed that blind users have trouble figuring out what's in a photo because the description isn't clear or doesn't exist. Facebook has made it easier to skim through the content on its website with a screen reader by improving HTML headings,adding alternative text for images,launching keyboard shortcuts, and more.Using artificial intelligence to describe photos is only a part of these ongoing efforts. With 1.5 billion users,Facebook isn't the only social media company that wants to improve 试卷第8页，共10页 its website for the visually disabled.Along with Facebook and other major tech firms,Twitter and LinkedIn have their own accessibility teams and belong to an initiative called "Teaching Accessibility” Jeff Wieland,Facebook's head of accessibility engineering,said the group wants to educate more engineers,especially early in college,about designing products that are compatible with the disabled and others."We really don't want accessibility to be the luxury of a handful of companies,"Wieland said."We want everything around the world to be built with accessibility in nind.” 66.What tool helps the visually disabled to read Facebook? A.A screen reader. B.A special keyboard. C.Ahelpful robot D.HTML headings. 67.What can be inferred from the passage about the new tool created by Facebook? A.It adds a lot of shortcuts on the keyboard B.It helps users to employ their senses other than sight. C.It meets no competitors with its advanced technology. D.It inspires more engineers to explore artificial intelligence. 68.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph"are compatible with"most probably means A.are unaffordable to B.bring harm to C.keep company of D.well suit 69.Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A.Screen reader:tool to access social media B.Ongoing efforts:strength to improve websites C.Artificial intelligence:power to help the blind D.Teaching accessibility:initiative to educate engineers Section C Directions:Read the following text from which four sentences have removed.Choose from the sentences A-F the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text.There are two extra sentences than you do not need to use. 试卷第9页，共10页 A.I often experienced that myself.

The Benefits of Keeping a Journal If you want to grow,one important thing you should do is keeping a journal.It may seem simple,but it can make a big difference in your life.I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me.And to be honest,I can't imagine what my life would be like without it.Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal. It prevents you from losing an idea.Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn't write it down?70 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible.If I'm away from my computer,I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go.I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer. It helps you review all the lessons you've learned.By reviewing your journal,you can quickly see the lessons you've learned and the ideas you've gotten.71 You can use the ideas to push yourself forward. 72 After keeping a journal for years,you can look back at it and see how far you've gone.Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today.The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today. It helps you expand your ideas.When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it.73 In the end,you will expand your ideas. 试卷第10页，共10页
