"I had it in my mind that if no one steps up to help this lady in our community,I'd be more than happy to,Locke told CBC. When Locke finally reached out to MacDonald about fixing her roof for free,however,she politely declined his offer because she did not like to accept charity.That being said,she had already applied for a government grant (to fix the roof and she said she was more than happy to hire Locke once her grant application was approved. Unfortunately,MacDonald never received the approval. As the stubborn(Canadian senior refused to accept any assistance from Locke,the sympathetic construction worker played an innocent trick in order to get her to accept his help.He invited MacDonald to enter a raffle(抽奖活动)that his business was holding for a free roof..After the grandmother-of-four accepted one of the raffle tickets,Locke told her that she was the winner because she was the only one who had entered the raffle. Thanks to his sweet little plan,Locke and his crew are starting work on the roof this week, which is expected to cost his company about $9,000. MacDonald,meanwhile,told CBC that she doesn't know how to express her gratitude to Locke,saying that he is her "guardian angel". "There's nobody out there like him,"she added. 44.Why did MacDonald refuse Locke's offer initially? A.She didn't trust him. B.She had won a raffle. C.She didn't like free help. D.She had got an official grant. 45.How did Locke finally make MacDonald change her mind? 共11页第4页 A.He persuaded her to give up her application. B.He invited her to enter his business. C.He gave her about $9,000. D.He told her a white lie. 46.Which of the following words best describe Locke? A.Stubborn and tricky. B.Wealthy and innocent. C.Determined and warm-hearted. D.Different and ambitious. C The technology for speech-recognition systems has advanced greatly since its appearance in the 1950s.Many voice systems can understand the language when spoken at a normal conversational rate.But even the advanced human-machine interfaces(人机交互)used today are unable to trick the listeners into thinking a computer is a human.Why is this?Simply put,it's because human beings rely on more than words to convey ideas or interpret messages,such as tones,facial expressions,body movements,and objects in the world around them. One significant recent achievement in the field of talking computers is virtual personal assistants (VPAs)on mobile phones.If you tell a mobile phone VPA that you want to schedule a lunch with a friend,it can set the appointment in your phone in seconds.The VPA can also hold a basic "conversation"and has earned fame for its elementary sense of humour.Still,the humour is preprogrammed and can be triggered only when human users speak certain key words. While the potential for "real"communication between a human and a machine may seem exciting,this possibility concerns some people.Some experts worry about people's attachment to these machines and fear that the art of successful human-to-human conversation will be undeveloped in younger generations.They worry that people won't be able to display the right emotion or tone in conversations because they haven't been practising those skills.Others fear that machines will take over functions that were traditionally performed by humans,such as customer service.Another concern often associated with the development of new technology is the invasion of privacy ()When people use certain speech-recognition applications,they leave behind an audio track of their speech.When you ask a VPA for directions,your speech is sent and saved to a remote server for processing.This digital trail may lead to data mining,or the collection of large quantities of personal data. For now,however,the continuing evolution of speech-recognition software is worth expecting Leading companies in the field hope to make human communication with machines as seamless as possible,just like communicating with another human. 47.According to the passage,what can a VPA do? 共11页第5页 A.Entertain users with original jokes.B.Make people regard it as a human. C.Hold preprogrammed conversations. D.Display the right tones in conversations. 48.Which situation reflects the concerns mentioned in the passage? A.One VPA service was priced higher for protecting users'privacy. B.An airline bore high costs for applying VPAs to its online service. C.An app failed to offer the right direction when given spoken instructions. D.Some teenagers became more socially awkward due to the addiction to VPAs. 49.What is the purpose of the passage? A.To inform readers of the double-edged quality of a new technology. B.To inspire readers to explore the future of a new technology. C.To promote the application of a new technology. D.To stress the convenience of a new technology. 50.What might be the best title of the passage? A.The worries over VPAs B.Talking to technology C.The world of technology D.Listening to "a real person" 0 Hardly a day goes by without a company telling us in its beautifully crafted advertising how much it contributes to the environment on our behalf.Flowers grow out of power-station chimneys;SUVs are presented in natural habitats;oil companies use sunny,friendly logos and promise cleaner technologies-although,in fact,they fail to make enough investment in renewable or alternative energy sources.Statistics are made up,and the tiniest ecological improvements are overstated in multi-million-dollar advertising campaigns,while in the meantime the greedy side of the business continues. This is known as greenwashing,which means "making things that are not green look green". The phenomenon has long existed since the first Earth Day in 1970,when companies spent $300 million advertising themselves as green companies--many times more than the money they actually spent on research into pollution reduction itself.And the trend continued over the following decades when some of the planet's worst polluters tried to pass themselves off as eco-friendly.As the public's environmental awareness grew,so too did the experience of corporate public relations strategies,and advertisers found ever-more-creative ways to use a green curtain to hide dark motives. Of course,some businesses are genuinely committed to making the world a better,greener place.But when a company spends more time and money claiming to be "green"than actually adopting business practices that minimize environmental impact,it is clear that,for them, 共11页第6页 environmentalism is little more than a convenient slogan ()Their message is "buy our products and you will end global warming,improve air quality and save the oceans".At best,such greenwashing pushes the fact to its limits;at worst,it helps conceal deception. And what about today's consumers?Few of them are truly well-equipped to make informed decisions about what is true.Greenwashing is only possible because consumers often believe what they are being told-why else would companies do it?More information and greater awareness are essential.Analyzing the tricks used by advertisers should be part of every school curriculum Non-governmental organizations can spread the word.Consumer groups can punish the greenwashing companies.But it is not enough.Legally enforceable systems must be put in place So what is already being done about planned attempts to pull the wool over consumers'eyes? In the United States,the Federal Trade Commission is taking action against misleading advertising claims.France has published Green Claims Guidance,stressing that "an advertisement must avoid conveying a message contrary to the accepted principles of sustainable development".All of these surely are the heart of the matter:the true impact of advertising is the promotion of unsustainable lifestyles.And therein lies the real danger to our planet,a danger which cannot be ignored any longer. 51.What can we learn about greenwashing? A.It is an ecological concept. B.It is a marketing technique. C.It is an awareness campaign. D.It is an advertising innovation. 52.What does the underlined phrase "conceal deception"in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Hide the truth. B.Raise the risk. C.Expose the weakness. D.Break the limit. 53.What can be inferred about most consumers? A.They are lacking in legal knowledge. B.They have encouraged greenwashing. C.They may question consumer groups. D.They tend to make sensible decisions. 54.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.Proposals 4 to ensure sustainable development. B.Ways to protect customers'interest. C.Attempts to solve environmental problems. 共11页第7页 D.Actions to fight false advertising. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Self-esteem is the ruling view you have of yourself.This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you.55 Someone can develop low self-esteem even when they are highly functional and greatly skilled.Understanding this mysterious emotional currency might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth. People with healthy self-esteem don't need to boast about themselves to others.People with low self-esteem may tell you how much everyone loves them,what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it's true.People may see them as obnoxious or"full of themselves".56 They are not shy about sharing ideas,including constructive criticisms of others.They also take care of themselves without second-guessing or apologizing.They are the people who we say seem "sure of themselves". If you're starting to think you may have low self-esteem,you can work on the way you talk to yourself.When you turn off negative self-talk,you can open the floor to positive reinforcements and access the courage to show different sides of yourself.It isn't going to feel good at first,though. Keep going until it becomes less and less and maybe even a few awkward laughs in the mirror may help. 57 However,in serious cases of low or even non-existent self-esteem,you may want to call in a professional or a specialist.Good mental health is important,and professionals doing psychotherapy do not pass judgement or give corrections.58 It is the best way to get at the roots of your real self-esteem problems. 59 It will take some work but your entire life-from your relationships to your body image to your work habits-will be touched with the kind of power that only comes from someone believing in themselves.This is the hardest part,and the greatest leap.With some changes and support,you can improve your self-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result. A.Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality,though. B.You have the power to shape a new self-perception C.This encourages you to speak openly without worry. D.The real test of character is whether they can learn from their mistakes 共11页第8页 E.Self-esteem refers to a person's overall sense of his or her value or worth. F.People with a healthy level of self-esteem present themselves with a casual confidence G.With some practice and persistence,you will win this internal struggle to see your self-worth. 第四部分：书面表达（共一节，12分) 阅读表达（共4小题：第60、61题各2分，第62题3分，第63题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Building relationships and working successfully with different cultural backgrounds can seem like a major challenge.But you can enjoy the rewards,while keeping dissatisfaction to a minimum. The key to making them work is cultural competence.Essentially,cultural competence is defined as the ability to understand and interact effectively with people from different cultures. Cultural competence is critical for everyone in today's modern world.Living and working in a culturally diverse environment sometimes comes with differences of opinion and tension.People with strong cultural competence can resolve these issues creatively,even if a solution seems impossible at first.What's more,thinking and caring about others with different experiences can bring out a sense of understanding.This helps to build trust between each other. Cultural competence can be improved through training,education,and experience.Here are some simple tips to help you improve your cultural competence. Assess yourself The starting point is to understand your own cultural values and world view.Assess the current level of cultural competence in yourself and identify the knowledge,skills and resources that you want to acquire.This can give you an idea of your strengths and weaknesses in the area so that you can improve yourself in future. Practice good manners No matter whom you are dealing with,make sure that you are respecting others' backgrounds,boundaries and customs.Pay close attention to your communication and make sure that you're speaking to others in a kind and polite way. Ask questions When you don't understand something or want to know why someone has behaved in a certain way,simply ask.Asking questions stops you making unnecessary assumptions,and shows the questions you did not understand to them. Keep in mind that developing cultural competence is not a one-shot enterprise.It takes time and practice.Whether you are in a classroom or on campus,cultural competence plays an important role in your daily environment.Recognizing and dealing with cultural differences will create a happier setting for everyone. 共11页第9页 60.What is cultural competence according to the passage? 61.Why is cultural competence important for people in intercultural environment? 62.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
