Keep Your Questionnaire Short.Respondents are less likely to answer a long questionnaire than a short one,and often pay less attention to questionnaires which seem long,dull,or boring. Keep Question Order in Mind. Start a questionnaire with an introduction. It's usually best to start a survey with general questions that will be easy for a respondent to answer. ●It's usually best to ask sensitive questions,including demographics(人口统计)，near the end of the survey. If you are asking a series of similar questions,randomizing the order respondents hear them can improve your data. 英语第2页共8页 General Rules for Writing Survey Questions Avoid Vague or Imprecise Terms.Usually,it's best to use terms that will have the same specific meaning to all respondents. X How important is it that a candidate shares your values? How important is it that a candidate shares your religious values? Provide Reference Frames.Make sure all respondents are answering questions about the same time and place. X How often do you feel sad? How often have you felt sad during the past week? Avoid Double-Barreled Questions.Questions should measure one thing.Double-barreled questions try to measure two (or morel)things X Do you think the president should lower taxes and spending? Avoid Leading or Biased Language. X Do you believe the US should immediately withdraw troops from the failed war in Iraq? XSome say that we create the best software products in the world.Do you agree? 21.What is a benefit of using questions from previous surveys? A.It helps keep the questionnaire short. B.It allows for cross-survey comparisons. C.It eliminates the need for a literature review. D.It guarantees truthful answers from respondents. 22.Which question is most likely to appear near the end of a survey? A.Where do you currently live? B.Why do you attend this workshop? C.Which brands do you currently buy from?D.What is your top priority in working with us? 23.Which rule does the question"Was the product easy to find and did you buy it?"fail to follow? A.Provide Reference Frames. B.Avoid Vague or Imprecise Terms. C.Avoid Double-Barreled Questions. D.Avoid Leading or Biased Language. When I was ten,I was suddenly confronted with the bitterness of moving from the only home I had ever known.My whole life,brief as it was,had been spent in that old house,gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations.On the final day,I ran to the backyard,crying and trembling. 72 I felt a hand rest on my shoulder.It was my grandfather. "How can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?I sobbed,tears blurring my vision. Staring off into the distance,Grandpa said softly,"Goodbye is too final and cold for friends.Our numerous ways of parting have one thing in common:dolor." He then gently led me to the front yard,where a huge red rosebush sat alone."Billy,I planted these roses the day my first son was born,"he said,with tears welling up in his eyes and his voice becoming choked."One day a terrible war erupted,claiming my son.He died in a village on the battlefield.I was forever heartbroken that my last word to him was goodbye." His eyes met mine."Don't ever say goodbye,Billy.Don't give in to the sadness and loneliness of that word. Remember instead the joy when you first said hello to a friend.When you and your friends must part,reach deep within you and bring back that first hello." A year and a half later,my grandfather fell severely ill.Then the family was gathered and I returned to the old house.His eyes were closed and his breathing was slow and hard."Hello,Grandpa,"I murmured.His eyes slowly opened."Hello,my friend,"he said with a faint smile. 英语第3页共8页 Hardly had I stood by his rosebush when an uncle approached to break the news of Grandpa's passing. Grandpa's words were lingering in my mind.Suddenly,and truly,I knew what he had meant about never saying goodbye-about refusing to give in to the sadness. 24.What is the main idea of paragraph 1? A.The sorrow about departure. B.The comfort from grandfather. C.The friendship among neighbors. D.The memories of four generations. 25.What does the underlined word"dolor"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Peace. B.Joy. C.Loneliness. D.Sadness. 26.What caused the grandfather's lifelong regret? A.Failing to protect his son. B.Planting the roses too late. C.Adopting a cold parting way. D.Sending his son to the battlefield. 27.Which is the best title for the text? A.Plant Roses for Love B.Never Say Goodbye C.Say Hello to the Future D.Forget the Bitter Memories Stardust Solutions,an Israeli startup,is developing tiny particles()which,if sprayed()into the stratosphere()in sufficient number,might help cool the Earth.The idea of putting stuff into the stratosphere to lower temperatures is not new;it is the most discussed sunlight-blocking technology in solar geoengineering.The company's novelty is that it claims to be developing special particles made of amorphous silica (and calcium carbonate(碳酸钙)，which might do particularly well Most research on geoengineering assumes that the cooling would be done by imitating the effect of volcanic eruptions:releasing a sulphur()-rich chemical into the stratosphere.But there is a problem.Admittedly,the amount of sulphate that would be used would be small relative to the total industrial emissions,and it would not be concentrated close to where people live.Nevertheless,"Spraying millions of tonnes of poisonous materials above the heads of their children for decades is something people wouldn't feel comfortable about,"said Dr Yedvab,Stardust's boss. Amorphous silica is not in itself a health concern.But that does not mean the Stardust particles will necessarily be safer after years of weathering."I think the work they've done is terrific,"says David Keith,a longtime leader in geoengineering research."What I don't buy is that it's definitely safer." One might see this as a resistance to newcomers.But there's something deeper at play Almost all geoengineering researchers say they conduct their work objectively,equally happy to discover good news or bad.Stardust,by contrast,isa commercial undertakingIt's not that there's anything fundamentally wrong with for-profit companies,"said Dakota Gruener,leader of a solar-geoengineering research organization."But when you have investors who are saying what we bet upon is that this will be used,it makes it hard to have that same level of objectivity." 28.What distinguishes Stardust's approach from previous research? A.It uses special cooling materials. B.It guarantees effective performance. C.It employs sun-blocking technology. D.It targets a different atmospheric layer. 29.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.Unsuccessful outcomes of past trials B.Natural inspirations for the cooling effect. C.Potential harm of the mainstream method D.Theoretical possibility of the new approach. 英语第4页共8页 30.What does the underlined word"this"in paragraph 4 refer to? 四卷 A.Opposition to new companies B.Acknowledgement of Stardust's work. C.Skepticism over safety issues. D.Anxiety about financial costs. 31.What might be a consequence of Stardust's commercial nature according to Dakota Gruener? A.Less reliable research conclusions. B.Disturbed geoengineering markets. C.Slower technological progress. D.Decreased non-profit funding. D It may seem to go against common sense,but in a time of increased technological reliance,pursuing a liberal arts education has never been a better bet-because machines don't actually have genuine intelligence.AI is merely an imitation of what makes us human-our unique abilities to lead,advocate,create,envision and innovate. A machine will never possess the emotional intelligence needed to manage a team,engage in intercultural communication,or resolve messy human conflicts that resist logic.Judgment,rooted in human experience,will never be AI's strength. In response to workforce demands,our liberal arts education has become more focused on career preparation. Most liberal arts colleges now offer students much exposure to data science,technology and business concepts,in addition to more conventional liberal arts fields of study. Beyond that,a recent study by researchers at Ithaka S+R looked at the economic value of a"liberal"education as opposed to a"narrow"education.Their findings show that greater exposure to liberal arts core features,including a broad curriculum,experiential learning and engagement with diverse perspectives,is positively associated with greater academic achievement. Research also supports the view that studying the arts,humanities and social sciences has value in the marketplace.A recent study revealed that 93%of employers rate written and oral communications,critical thinking and ethical decision-making as the most essential skills in job candidates.This is exactly what a broad liberal arts education delivers. There is no one-size-fits-all education.In an AI-driven world,an education focused on gaining the knowledge and skills that are uniquely human is the best preparation for career longevity.After all,today's cutting-edge technology may be outdated tomorrow-or performed by machines with more accuracy and efficiency than any human could ever have.But the ability to do what only humans can do is likely to be in high demand.Think of it this way:Career-ready skills will help you land a job,but only mastering the most human skills will prepare you to change the world. 32.What does the author imply about Al? A.It fails in logical thinking. B.It lacks true human nature. C.It values human experiences. D.It excels at resolving human conflicts. 33.What is the characteristic of current liberal arts education? A.Replacement of traditional courses. B.High employment rates for graduates. C.Equal emphasis on different disciplines. D.Integration of professional demands and traditions. 34.What can we learn from the studies in paragraphs 3 and 4? A.Narrow education offers unclear economic returns.B.Academic success lies in experiential learning. C.Job candidates need a specialized education. D.Liberal education yields practical rewards. 35.What is the author's advice? A.Mastering cutting-edge technological tools. B.Building irreplaceable human competence. C.Performing tasks with higher accuracy D.Gaining extensive knowledge. 英语第5页共8页 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。 China's Approach to Mental Health:Combining Tradition with Innovation Worldwide,over one billion people battle mental illnesses,mainly anxiety and depression.China addresses this by combining traditional wisdom with modern technology.

The traditional stretch,like when people bend over to touch their toes or stretch their legs on a fence,often 59(cause)the muscles to tighten rather than relax-exactly the opposite of what is needed for physical activity. Experts say it is like extending a rubber band 60 its limit.When people stretch to the maximum,they are more likely to pull a muscle. "We have developed this idea of static stretching at exactly the wrong time,"said Kieran O'sullivan,61 exercise expert at the University of Limerick in Ireland,62 has studied various types of stretching and their impact on athletes. When you stretch before exercising,your body may think it's at risk of being overstretched.It compensates by contracting and becoming tenser.That means you aren't able to move as fast or as freely,63(make)you more likely to get hurt. O'sullivan said stretching helps with 64(flexible),but people should only do it when they aren't about to exercise,like after a workout,65 at the end of the day. 英语第7页共8页 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 05n708 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是学生李华，了解到外教Ek对同学们在他的口语课上不愿意主动开口感到困惑，请你给他写一封 邮件，内容包括：1.分析不开口的原因；2.提出改进建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Erik, Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I sat in my minivan and watched the rain roll down the windshield(挡风豉璃.It was a soggy(湿的)April day..My university was hosting a writer's conference.And I wasn't a writer.Well,I wanted to be.But that desire was a tiny dream,buried under the million things that created my life."Okay,Shawnelle,"I said to myself."You can do this." I'd tried to dress like a writer,even twisting my long hair into a sophisticated (knot.But I felt like a little girl playing dress up.I was a mama of five.Maybe I should run away?But the registration fee was steep,and my friend had taken my boys for the day.I had to go in. I watched people walk into the hall with confidence.True,I was scared.But there were always words washing through my thoughts and heart-words I had to set free.I grabbed my bag,opened the door,and walked toward a new chapter. 6 I was the proud mother of five sons.But there were times I wanted to reach out to people outside my home,to encourage and inspire others.The only thing I'd write was a yearly Christmas letter.The generous responses I received always made me feel fulfilled. Inside,the hall buzzed with excitement.I chatted with people sitting next to me.Most of them were writing novels or had publishing credentials(出版资历).I felt self-conscious,like the words“Christmas Letter"were stamped across my forehead. But when the keynote speaker spoke about the blessing of written words,something in my spirit broke free.A passion,bolder than my fear,began to pulse in my chest.Later,when we had the opportunity to spend fifteen minutes with one of the presenters,I knew I had to speak with Cecil.I sat in the meeting room,feeling my heartbeat hammer in my neck. 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。 "Did you bring anything you wrote with you?"Cecil asked. I left the conference that evening armed with books,encouragement,goals,and hope. 英语第8页共8页
