For my parents it was a good thing because it meant owning a home for the first time. But it meant that I d have to change schools and that put some butterflies in my stomach. On the first day of school, kids jammed the school grounds. That’s when I met Barbara. We made a nervous conversation and soon learned we were in the same class. She was funny and we had a lot in common. But she was very critical of others and sometimes of me. She made fun of my bushy hair, my big glasses and the clothes I wore. But it seemed as though the things we had in common were more important than the annoyances. The girls in the “popular” crowd had also been exposed to her sharp tongue. One day, one of the girls approached me while I gathered my books. “We really like you,” she said. “The only way you can play with us, though, is if you keep your distance from Barbara.” Were those girls only trying to make trouble between the two of us? Would they watch me dump (抛弃) Barbara and then dump me for laughs? From the comer of my eye I found two of the other girls from the group. They were watching me and giggling (咯咯地笑). I wondered if I was cool enough for them. I didn’t want to make the choice they were forcing me to make. So I shook my head and said “I don’t think so. I like Barbara and we’re good friends.” Then I gathered my books and ran away. Even though Barbara still annoyed me at times, I knew I’d done the right thing. I’d made my own decision about a girl who had befriended me when I badly needed a friend. When she moved the following year I missed her friendship terribly. But what I kept has never left me—my self-respect. 21. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Got me to feel more excited. B. Left me in a state of desire. C. Brought me more expectation. D. Made me have a nervous feeling. 22. What do we know about Barbara? A. She was a girl with a sharp tongue. B. She was popular with kids at school. C. She offered others help in critical moments. D. She was very critical of her own dress. 23. What was the writer asked to do by one girl? A. To join the “popular” crowd. B. To end her friendship with Barbara. C. To invite Barbara to hang out with them. D. To pretend to be cool in the “popular” crowd. 24. What lesson did the writer learn from her experience? A. Keep far away from the “popular” group. B. Avoid making friends with an annoying person. C. Keep self-respect in making your own decisions. D. Share common interest with your friends. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. B 24. C 【解析】 【分析】本文主要讲述了作者转学去一所新的学校，和Barbara成为了好朋友。Barbara是一个说话很刻薄的女孩，有时候她甚至嘲笑作者，一个女孩让作者和Barbara结束友谊，但作者拒绝了。作者从自己的经历中学到的一个教训：在做自己的决定时，一定要保持自尊。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。由For my parents it was a good thing because it meant owning a home for the first time.可知But it meant that I d have to change schools and that put some butterflies in my stomach.的意思是但是那意味着我不得不转学，这使得我有一种紧张不安的感觉，选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。由The girls in the “popular” crowd had also been exposed to her sharp tongue.可推断出Barbara是一个说话很刻薄的女孩，选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。由“We really like you,” she said. “The only way you can play with us, though, is if you keep your distance from Barbara.”可知一个女孩让作者和Barbara结束友谊，选B。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。由But what I kept has never left me—my self-respect.可知作者从自己的经历中学到的一个教训是：在做自己的决定时，一定要保持自尊。 【名师点睛】 直接信息题，对于此类题型，考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词，然后以此为线索，运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节，找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍，仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别，在准确理解细节的前提下，最后确定最佳答案。例如：小题3细节理解题。由“We really like you,” she said. “The only way you can play with us, though, is if you keep your distance from Barbara.”可知一个女孩让作者和Barbara结束友谊，选B。 B Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not. A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept. Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers. As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are. There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal. 25. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2? A. People’s appearances carry message about themselves. B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies. C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly-treated. D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace. 26. What can be inferred from the text? A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview. B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies. C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates. D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices Matter C. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter 28. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as . A. enthusiastic B. negative C. positive D. sympathetic 【答案】25. C 26. B 27. C 28. B 【解析】 【分析】又是一年毕业季，很多大学毕业生又要开始为寻找一份可以赖以生存的工作而奔忙了，但是，影响就业成功的因素很多，其中有一点就是面试时的着装。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二自然段的A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages．可知作者的意思是有纹身或戴鼻环去面试不会被公平的对待，故本题选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通读第三自然段可知本文作者的意思是：员工的穿着不再是员工的私人问题，而是影响到公司的声誉和发展的大问题。选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。本文讨论的主要是在求职的时候，人的外貌和穿着是很重要的，因为公司都要选择一些在形象上能够代表公司的人，故本题选C。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers．Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are说明作者也认为那些穿着奇怪的人是不能被选中的，说明他对这样的穿着是持否定的态度的，故选B。 C The online takeaway industry is growing in China along with the rapid development of the Internet economy. But environmental activists complain that the huge volume of plastic utensils (用具), wrapping and containers presents a great challenge to the environment, and that the heavy use of throwaway wooden chopsticks is reducing natural resources. On September 1, the Beijing No.4 Intermediate People’s Court accepted a lawsuit filed by the Chongqing Green Volunteer League, an environmental non-government organization (NGO), against the country’s three largest food delivery platforms—Baidu Waimai, Ele.me and Meituan. The NGO stated that the companies failed to provide customers with the choice to not receive throwaway plastic utensils along with their food deliveries. Meanwhile, these utensils have created large amounts of rubbish and caused serious ecological damage. In response, both Meituan and Ele.me, which acquired Baidu Waimai in August, have promised to take measures to reduce plastic waste. Meituan announced that it would appoint a chief environmental officer to oversee environmental issues from plastic waste and upgrade its smartphone app to provide consumers with the option of ordering food without single-use chopsticks, spoons or napkins. Ele.me followed by offering a similar choice and putting forward a plan to introduce suppliers of degradable (可降解的) plastic utensils to restaurants in the long term. Is there a possible way out? Combined efforts by delivery platforms, consumers, restaurants and government departments are required to address plastic waste pollution. For platforms, promoting environmental protection and introducing this idea to consumers are a meaningful move. Moreover, in the future, they should also make strict rules on the use of plastic utensils. For example, no more than one plastic bag should be used to wrap soup dishes, and all plastic products should be degradable. It is a long and difficult task for them, and the recent reactions from Ele.me and Meituan are just beginnings. Considering most takeout food packaging is thrown into garbage bins and then taken away along with other household garbage, sorting of waste also becomes more important. Government departments could play a major role in this, and by recycling some materials, waste pollution could be reduced and resources saved. Furthermore, there have been growing calls that the government should also invest more in developing degradable plastic products or environmentally friendly alternatives. Though consumers enjoy the convenience yet also suffer exposure to the pollution, many of them have paid little attention to the plastic waste problem. Environmental groups suggest that consumers change their habits a little by using their own utensils and dishes and refusing unnecessary plastic containers. 29. The Chongqing Green Volunteer League accused the three food delivery platforms of ________. A. causing damage to people’s health B. violating environmental standards C. using many wooden chopsticks D. offering no utensil option 30. The author suggests food delivery platforms ________. A. raise people’s awareness B. research possible alternatives C. upgrade their application design D. hire a chief environmental officer 31. Who probably plays a more important role in promoting the categorization of rubbish? A. Government departments. B. Food delivery platforms. C. Environmental groups. D. Fast food restaurants. 32. The passage is mainly concerned with ________. A. why environmental problems arise B. who food delivery platforms affect most C. how plastic utensil pollution can be solved D. what efforts environmental groups have made 【答案】29. D 30. A 31. A 32. C 【解析】 【分析】本文主要关注的是如何解决塑料器具的污染问题。随着移动互联网经济的快速发展，在线外卖行业在中国迅速增长。但环保活动人士抱怨说，大量的塑料餐具、包装和容器对环境构成了巨大的挑战，而大量使用一次性筷子加剧了资源消耗。尽管消费者享受着便利，但也受到了污染的影响，但他们中的许多人对塑料垃圾问题几乎没有关注。环保组织建议消费者、餐馆和政府部门共同努力，解决塑料废物污染。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中an environmental non-government organization (NGO), against the country’s three largest food delivery platforms—Baidu Waimai, Ele.me and Meituan. The NGO stated that the companies failed to provide customers with the choice to not receive throwaway plastic utensils along with their food deliveries.可知，The Chongqing Green Volunteer League指责这三种食品外卖平台未能向顾客提供不接受一次性塑料餐具的选择。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Combined efforts by delivery platforms, consumers, restaurants and government departments are required to address plastic waste pollution.和第五段中For platforms, promoting environmental protection and introducing this idea to consumers are a meaningful move. Moreover, in the future, they should also make strict rules on the use of plastic utensils.可知，作者建议食品外卖平台提高人们的环保意识。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中Government departments could play a major role in this, and by recycling some materials, waste pollution could be reduced and resources saved.可知，政府部门可以在促进垃圾分类中扮演更重要的角色。故选A。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段中Government departments could play a major role in this, and by recycling some materials, waste pollution could be reduced and resources saved.和最后一段最后一句Environmental groups suggest that consumers change their habits a little by using their own utensils and dishes and refusing unnecessary plastic containers.可知，这篇文章主要关注的是如何解决塑料器具的污染问题。故选C。 D The cost of living in countries like the U.S., Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years.

You can live off a mere $700 to $800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing. Argentina Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it's not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $139000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States. Vietnam Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.

Have enough sleep, whatever much work you have to do, or you’ll feel sleepy on an occasion in class. A balanced diet will certainly help a lot. Having more fresh fruit and vegetables every day is good for you. Which you know, a proper method of learning will enable you to learn more and faster. To get better results, that is wise to be attentive and make every effort to gain knowledge. And you were supposed to review your notes taking down after class every day. Always remember to stay happily and optimistic so that you can be energetic while doing the revision. I hope you’ll no longer feel tired and nervous. Best wishes. Yours, Li Ming 【答案】1. prepare后加for 2. whatever → however 3. 删去an 4. which → as 5. that → it 6. were → are 7. taking → taken 8. happily → happy 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。作者给Jenny写信，围绕备考即将到来的考试，从作息、饮食、学习方法、复习习惯及心态等方面，给出具体建议，助力Jenny以良好状态迎接考试。 【详解】1.考查固定短语、介词。句意：这里有一些建议可以帮助你为即将到来的考试做准备。“prepare for sth.”是固定短语，意为“为……做准备”，原句中prepare后缺少介词for，故在prepare后加for。 2.考查让步状语从句。句意：无论你有多少工作要做，都要保证充足的睡眠，否则你在课堂上会偶尔感到困倦。“much”是形容词，修饰名词work，“whatever”不能修饰形容词，而“however”可以修饰形容词，引导让步状语从句，表示“无论多么”，故将whatever改为however。 3.考查固定短语。句意：无论你有多少工作要做，都要保证充足的睡眠，否则你在课堂上会偶尔感到困倦。“on occasion”是固定短语，意为“偶尔”，不需要加冠词，故删去an。 4.考查定语从句。句意：正如你所知，一个合适的学习方法能让你学得更多更快。“as you know”是固定表达，意为“正如你所知”，as引导非限制性定语从句，指代后面整个句子，在从句中作宾语，而which引导非限制性定语从句时，不能放在句首，故将which改为as。 5.考查代词、形式主语。句意：为了取得更好的成绩，专心学习并努力获取知识是明智的。“it is + adj. + to do sth.”是固定句型，其中it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式，故将that改为it。 6.考查时态。句意：你应该每天复习课后记下的笔记。本句描述的是现在的情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，句中“were”是一般过去时，不符合语境，故将were改为are。 7.考查非谓语动词。句意：你应该每天复习课后记下的笔记。“notes”和“take down”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语修饰notes，故将taking改为taken。 8.考查形容词。句意：永远记住要保持快乐和乐观，这样你在复习时才能精力充沛。“stay”是系动词，后接形容词作表语，“happily”是副词，其形容词形式是“happy”，故将happily改为happy。 第二节 书面表达(满分25分) 70. 随着科技的发展，手机移动支付逐渐盛行，人们对此看法不一。下面是你班班会上以“手机移动 支付”为题进行讨论的情况。请你以李明的名义写一封信给 21st Century 报的编辑，说明该情况并表 明你自己的观点。 理由 60%学生赞同 1. 简单易操作，不需要携带现金或银行卡； 2. 大至商场小至路边摊都能使用，快捷方便； 3. ……。 40%学生不赞同 1. 存在安全问题，如个人信息泄露，资金盗用等； 2. 导致过度消费； 3. ……。 个人观点 1. ……； 2. ……。 【注意事项】 1. 文章需包括所有的要点，但不要逐条翻译； 2. 词数 150 词左右， 信的开头和结尾已写好，不计入总字数； 4. 参考词汇：移动支付 mobile payment 摊贩 stallholder 【写作要求】 1. 不必写标题； 2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。 Dear editor, With the development of science and technology, mobile payment is gaining popularity in China. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Ming 【答案】Dear editor, With the development of science and technology, mobile payment is gaining popularity in China. Recently our class has held a heated discussion about it and opinions are divided. 60% of the students are in favor of mobile payment. Firstly, it is easy to operate, as they just need to take a smart phone instead of cash or bank cards. Meanwhile, it’s widely accepted in different places, ranging from big shopping malls to stallholders, which is really convenient to consumers. In addition, they can enjoy some discounts with online payment, which may relieve their financial burden. However, about 40% of the students are opposed to mobile payment. First of all, they are concerned about its security. It is likely that personal information could be let out and money stolen. Besides, they tend to buy more than what they really need by paying online. Furthermore, it’s difficult for some old people to adapt to it. From my perspective, I am happy to embrace the new trend. Undoubtedly, paying online will contribute to an easier life and it will definitely improve our living standards. Yours, Li Ming 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生以李明的名义给 21st Century 报的编辑写一封信发表自己对移动支付的看法。 【详解】词汇积累 欢迎：embrace→welcome 提高：improve→boost 必定：definitely→undoubtedly 支持：in favor of = in support of 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Undoubtedly, paying online will contribute to an easier life and it will definitely improve our living standards. 拓展句：There is no doubt that paying online will contribute to an easier life and it will definitely improve our living standards. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Meanwhile, it’s widely accepted in different places, ranging from big shopping malls to stallholders, which is really convenient to consumers.

For my parents it was a good thing because it meant owning a home for the first time. But it meant that I d have to change schools and that put some butterflies in my stomach. On the first day of school, kids jammed the school grounds. That’s when I met Barbara. We made a nervous conversation and soon learned we were in the same class. She was funny and we had a lot in common. But she was very critical of others and sometimes of me. She made fun of my bushy hair, my big glasses and the clothes I wore. But it seemed as though the things we had in common were more important than the annoyances. The girls in the “popular” crowd had also been exposed to her sharp tongue. One day, one of the girls approached me while I gathered my books. “We really like you,” she said. “The only way you can play with us, though, is if you keep your distance from Barbara.” Were those girls only trying to make trouble between the two of us? Would they watch me dump (抛弃) Barbara and then dump me for laughs? From the comer of my eye I found two of the other girls from the group. They were watching me and giggling (咯咯地笑). I wondered if I was cool enough for them. I didn’t want to make the choice they were forcing me to make. So I shook my head and said, “I don’t think so. I like Barbara and we’re good friends.” Then I gathered my books and ran away. Even though Barbara still annoyed me at times, I knew I’d done the right thing. I’d made my own decision about a girl who had befriended me when I badly needed a friend. When she moved the following year I missed her friendship terribly. But what I kept has never left me—my self-respect. 21. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Got me to feel more excited. B. Left me in a state of desire. C. Brought me more expectation. D. Made me have a nervous feeling. 22. What do we know about Barbara? A. She was a girl with a sharp tongue. B. She was popular with kids at school. C. She offered others help in critical moments. D. She was very critical of her own dress. 23. What was the writer asked to do by one girl? A To join the “popular” crowd. B. To end her friendship with Barbara. C. To invite Barbara to hang out with them. D. To pretend to be cool in the “popular” crowd. 24. What lesson did the writer learn from her experience? A. Keep far away from the “popular” group. B. Avoid making friends with an annoying person. C. Keep self-respect in making your own decisions. D. Share common interest with your friends. B Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not. A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept. Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers. As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are. There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal. 25. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2? A. People’s appearances carry message about themselves. B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies. C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly-treated. D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace. 26. What can be inferred from the text? A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview. B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies. C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates. D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices Matter C. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter 28. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as . A. enthusiastic B. negative C. positive D. sympathetic C The online takeaway industry is growing in China along with the rapid development of the Internet economy. But environmental activists complain that the huge volume of plastic utensils (用具), wrapping and containers presents a great challenge to the environment, and that the heavy use of throwaway wooden chopsticks is reducing natural resources. On September 1, the Beijing No.4 Intermediate People’s Court accepted a lawsuit filed by the Chongqing Green Volunteer League, an environmental non-government organization (NGO), against the country’s three largest food delivery platforms—Baidu Waimai, Ele.me and Meituan. The NGO stated that the companies failed to provide customers with the choice to not receive throwaway plastic utensils along with their food deliveries. Meanwhile, these utensils have created large amounts of rubbish and caused serious ecological damage. In response, both Meituan and Ele.me, which acquired Baidu Waimai in August, have promised to take measures to reduce plastic waste. Meituan announced that it would appoint a chief environmental officer to oversee environmental issues from plastic waste and upgrade its smartphone app to provide consumers with the option of ordering food without single-use chopsticks, spoons or napkins. Ele.me followed by offering a similar choice and putting forward a plan to introduce suppliers of degradable (可降解的) plastic utensils to restaurants in the long term. Is there a possible way out? Combined efforts by delivery platforms, consumers, restaurants and government departments are required to address plastic waste pollution. For platforms, promoting environmental protection and introducing this idea to consumers are a meaningful move. Moreover, in the future, they should also make strict rules on the use of plastic utensils. For example, no more than one plastic bag should be used to wrap soup dishes, and all plastic products should be degradable. It is a long and difficult task for them, and the recent reactions from Ele.me and Meituan are just beginnings. Considering most takeout food packaging is thrown into garbage bins and then taken away along with other household garbage, sorting of waste also becomes more important. Government departments could play a major role in this, and by recycling some materials, waste pollution could be reduced and resources saved. Furthermore, there have been growing calls that the government should also invest more in developing degradable plastic products or environmentally friendly alternatives. Though consumers enjoy the convenience yet also suffer exposure to the pollution, many of them have paid little attention to the plastic waste problem. Environmental groups suggest that consumers change their habits a little by using their own utensils and dishes and refusing unnecessary plastic containers. 29.
