The other day I went out to hand over my job application letter to a certain company. Before setting out I wished to meet good people who will be kind to me all along. So I reached the place and at the entrance was greeted by a very charming lady who was the security officer there. I smiled at her and she smiled back. That was a huge relief to be honest. I told her why I was there. She said no worries and that I should just leave my envelope. She would hand it over to the HR. As she spoke I thought of asking her if I could go see the HR in person. After asking her that she kindly told me usually they only allow people with appointments to see the HR but then she said, “Let me try calling the office to ask if they can see you,”(This really touched my heart. It was very thoughtful of her)and after the phone call I was allowed to go see the HR. The HR was also very kind and received my applications.
I'm still waiting on the feedback but no matter what happens I will forever be grateful for the kind gesture of the lady, whose name is Esther. I don't know if she will ever get to read this but wherever she is, I just want to tell her she really made my day. She even went the extra mile to advise me on not giving up hope that everything was going to be fine. If at all I couldn't get a chance in that company, there are a lot more opportunities that will always come my way.
It is not easy to get such kind gestures nowadays but in the midst of it all, we should always be kind to all people,not only the ones we know. It really makes a big difference!
4.What made the author relieved when entering the company?
A.The high wage there.
B.Esther's kind smile.
C.The application letter.
D.The working conditions.
5.Why did Esther ask the author to leave the letter to her?
A.The author didn't fit the job there.
B.Esther wanted to refuse the author.
C.It's a usual routine in the company.
D.The HR wasn't in the company then.
6.What characteristics can we know about Esther?
A.Serious.
B.Hardworking.
C.Courageous.
D.Warmhearted.
7.What's the author's reflection about Esther's deed?
A.Her smile is a sign of admission.
B. Goodness is important in the world.
C. It's quite difficult to see the top leader.
D. Application for a better job isn't easy.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去一家公司求职受到礼遇的故事。

6.D [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I smiled at her and she smiled back.That was a huge relief to be honest.”和Esther的行为以及作者对她的评价“This really touched my heart.It was very thoughtful of her”可推知,Esther是一个心地善良的人。故选D。]
7.B [推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is not easy to get such kind gestures nowadays but in the midst of it all,we should always be kind to all people,not only the ones we know.It really makes a big difference!”可知,作者认为善良非常重要。故选B。]
Ⅱ.阅读填句
When watching a soccer game or basketball match,you might hear people encouraging their favorite team by shouting things like “come on” or “go for it”.Could the Chinese phrase “add oil” also become a frequent cheer at sporting events?

So how does a word get into the OED? __3__ New words are also required to have been used over a reasonable amount of time before being added.The process of adding words can be long and painstaking.
4__ Let's take a look.
Hongbao:A traditional gift of money presented in a red envelope.

Wuxia: __5__

D.OED is becoming more and more popular in the world.
E.The phrase refers to adding fuel into a vehicle.
F.Chinese slang is causing jokes in our life.
G.A type of fiction or cinema featuring ancient Chinese warriors (勇士).

1.E [根据上文可知,这个短语被收录到词典中,因此此处介绍一下它的原义。“加油”这个短语本义是往汽车里面加入燃料。故选E。]
2.A [根据下文可知,OED承认了我们所说的英语的合法性,这样我们可以与世界交流而又不用放弃我们自己的说法,因此,中国式的短语得到承认令我们中国人感到非常兴奋。故选A。]
3.B [上文是一个问题So how does a word get into the OED?一个词是如何进入到牛津词典中的?那么这个空格处就是回答上文的问题,只要不需要解释意思就能被理解,这样就可以被加入到词典中去。故选B。]
4.C [下文又举了几个例子,来说明被词典收录的中国式短语,此处用来引出下文的这些例子。故选C。]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学习外语是一个费力的过程,在任何阶段都很容易陷入困境。如果你不努力,就会停滞不前甚至倒退。
1.beginning [考查固定短语。句意:这可能是你刚开始学习时的初级阶段,也可能是你掌握了基本知识后的中期阶段,甚至更晚一些,当你接近流利程度的高级水平时。固定短语:at the beginning起初。故填beginning。]
2.advanced [考查形容词。句意:这可能是你刚开始学习时的初级阶段,也可能是你掌握了基本知识后的中期阶段,甚至更晚一些,当你接近流利程度的高级水平时。根据空后的名词level of fluency可知,空处为形容词修饰。故填advanced。]
3.so [考查连词。句意:有时候这些中间阶段会很有挑战性和挫败感,所以时刻提醒自己已经走了多远是很重要的。前一分句意为“有时候这些中间阶段会很有挑战性和挫败感”,后一分句意为“时刻提醒自己已经走了多远是很重要的。”两个分句之间存在因果关系,用连词so。故填so。]
4.mastered [考查时态。句意:也许你很久以前就掌握了基本的语法,但是随着词汇和习语等方面的进步,你开始学习的部分开始让你感到困惑。根据时间状语a long time ago可知,本句时态为一般过去时。故填mastered。]
5.In [考查介词。句意:就我的情况而言,我从这件事中学到,回去复习简单的东西是可以的,比如语法,因为你可能会在基础上犯错这是很自然的。固定短语:in one's case就某人的情况而言。因为出现在句首,首字母大写。故填In。]
6.it [考查代词。句意:就我的情况而言,我从这件事中学到,回去复习简单的东西是可以的,比如语法,因为你可能会在基础上犯错这是很自然的。it充当形式主语,充当真正的主语是不定式to go back and revise simple things like grammar。故填it。]
7.to progress [考查非谓语动词。句意:你可能认为在国外生活就足以让你进步到流利的程度。非谓语动词充当结果状语,构成短语:be enough for sb.to do sth.“某人足以做某事”。故填to progress。]
8.ways [考查名词的数。句意:当然,与母语者的日常交流是提高的最好方法之一,但语言学习是一个巨大的承诺,如果你不努力保持,你可能会止步于同一水平,甚至更糟,倒退。固定搭配:one of the +复数名词,表示“……之一”。故填ways。]
9.if [考查状语从句。句意:当然,与母语者的日常交流是提高的最好方法之一,但语言学习是一个巨大的承诺,如果你不努力保持,你可能会止步于同一水平,甚至更糟,倒退。根据句意,这里是条件状语从句的连接词,表示“如果”。故填if。]
10.worse [考查比较级。句意:当然,与母语者的日常交流是提高的最好方法之一,但语言学习是一个巨大的承诺,如果你不努力保持,你可能会止步于同一水平,甚至更糟,倒退。根据上文“stuck at the same level”以及下文“move backwards”可知,后者情况更为糟糕,所以用比较级形式。故填worse。]
