Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. French director Francois Truffaut once argued that all war films tend to beautify warfare ____21____ they turn violent battles into spectacular (壮观的) scenes. However, the Chinese blockbuster (票房大片) Once Upon a Time in the Middle East has tried an innovative way the anti-war themes_____22_____ (present) Different from traditional war movies, this film tells a war story _____23_____ a unique perspective of a Chinese chef named Xu Fu. To clear his debts, the experienced chef leaves his family in northeast China to work in a restaurant in a Middle Eastern country. In Chinese culture, food is never merely for survival; it carries hometown memories, cultural traditions and sincere blessings, _____24_____ run through the whole film. Xu Fu, ____25____ brilliant cooking skills impressed local customers, lives a peaceful life and makes a Chinese friend at the restaurant. However, sudden war breaks out, _____26_____(throw) the country into chaos and trapping the two men in dangerous war zones ____27____they encounter a series of crises and get closely involved in the miserable fate of local orphan children who suffer from extremist brainwashing. Despite the intense war chaos, the film consistently uses Chinese food as a key symbol of bond and harmony between people. It ____28____(convey) a warm and touching core idea _____29_____ even in turbulent and cruel wars, ordinary people still hold simple and sincere wishes for peace, reunion and a better life. “I’m not really a foodie, and I’m not much of a cook either. But _____30_____I want this film to say is, ‘Eat well’. In China, those two words can carry much more meaning than they seem to. They hint at ‘Take care of yourself’,” says Wen. “In times of chaos, it can be a quiet expression of love — a wish that you stay safe, keep going, and above all, make it home,” he adds.

A. climatic B. damaging C. exposed D. fresh E. fueling F. inclusively G. lines H. overdependence I. overthrown J. previously K. separated The Fall of the Roman Empire The Western Roman Empire is known as one of the longest lasting empires. Historians believe that the empire collapsed in 476 A.D., when its last ruler, Romulus Augustulus, was ____31____. The question of why the Western Roman Empire ended has fascinated historians for generations, ____32____ a debate that is nowhere near reaching an agreement. In 1984, German historian Alexander Demandt drew up a list of more than two hundred factors that have been cited to explain Rome’s fall — a fall ____33____ blamed on internal corruption (腐败). Other scholars have pointed to more specific reasons. Some have focused on the evolution of the Roman economy, which struggled to expand by the third century A.D. because of ____34____ on enslaved (受奴役的) people for labor. Ongoing military conflicts and civil wars that broke out from the third century on played a part too, weakening central authority and causing the empire to break apart, leaving it more ____35____ to external threats. In recent years, however, a (n) ____36____ theory has emerged, highlighting the impact of climatic changes and disease outbreaks. In a work published in 2017, classics professor Kyle Harper argues that the rise and fall of Rome was shaped not only by emperors, generals, soldiers and slaves, but also by viruses, volcanoes and solar cycles. It is a story in which humanity and the environment cannot be ____37____. Harper and other scholars have drawn on climate and widespread-disease data, which have opened up new ____38____ of research into the study of the past. The data suggest that the ____39____ conditions of the empire in the first century B.C. favored agricultural, economic, and population growth. But they became more variable with a trend toward cooling and drought, which impacted agricultural productivity. This crisis was compounded by another ____40____ natural phenomenon: epidemics (时疫). From the latter half of the second century on, epidemics emerged that affected the whole Roman Empire with unmatched intensity. Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. “Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger,” explains Travis Atkinson, a licensed clinical social worker. “99% of the time, they are the ____41____ of an intense emotion: anger, which is brought about by stress from work, frustrations in life, and even hunger.” This is based, in part, on the theory of emotional hijacking, which suggests that intense emotions — like anger — can temporarily affect our ability to think ____42____ and make sensible decisions. The amygdala — the brain’s “integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation” — is involved too. More ____43____, a process called “amygdala hijack” comes into play: when the amygdala becomes overactivated it sets off the fight-or-flight response, leading to narrowed focus. This in turn causes a(n) ____44____ of good judgment, leading to a flash of anger. It results in ____45____ that are driven more by emotional intensity than by genuine thoughts or beliefs. This indicates that the ____46____ of the person’s outburst might not even be at the root of their anger. Perhaps, they were angry about the way their boss treated them at work. They may not have been able to fight back then, but the anger they’ve held on to since can ____47____ at the slightest disagreement with the friend they were catching up with at dinner. Letting out anger can help people feel emotionally ____48____, many psychologists argue. Others, however, believe an outburst can actually intensify our emotions and end up being ____49____. “You have the sense of immediate improvement, but it’s only a(n) ____50____,” says Jeffrey Lohr, a professor of psychology at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. “But the point is, it might be the search for that short-lived relief — even if it brings further harm — that drives a person to ____51____ angrily.” Lohr doesn’t see angry outbursts as a healthy way to release anger, yet he also warns against bottling up ____52____ feelings. His ____53____: releasing anger without using hurtful words. But managing emotions isn’t easy, and not everyone can control their feelings well. Sometimes ____54____ slip out before we even realize what we’re saying. We only ____55____ it when the other person looks hurt or after we understand what we’ve said. 41. A. cause B. development C. expression D. perception 42. A. logically B. creatively C. subjectively D. instinctively 43. A. hopefully B. specifically C. thoroughly D. doubtfully 44. A. loss B. display C. sense D. act 45. A. statements B. conflicts C. improvements D. symptoms 46. A. duration B. impact C. tone D. source 47. A. build up B. die down C. show off D. spill out 48.

(A) My husband and I were once in Nepal (尼泊尔) to see sunrise over the Himalayas. One morning we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock. As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand, I noticed the calm, gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning. One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea, and other villagers gathered around his fire, cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture. It was fascinating, but not to be left behind, we joined the stream of tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point. The top was crowded when we arrived, but after 10 minutes of cold waiting, the assembled group gave up. “The cloud cover is too heavy,” one said. Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next item on their sightseeing list. I was disappointed as well, but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds. He must know something we don’t, I thought. I decided to wait with him. The boy and I didn’t have to wait long. Moments later, a tiny stream of golden light burned through one thick cloud, then another. Rose-colored fog warmed the backs of the clouds, and suddenly the morning sun stole a glance around the side of the mountain, miles above where I’d expected it to be. Nothing I’d seen before prepared me for the moment the clouds withdrew with bowed heads, and the magnificent Himalayas were revealed before, around, and above me. I sat in astonishment, not breathing, not daring to look away, certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like. I certainly got the message. Never again will I rush a sunrise. I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them. 56. What does “It” in Paragraph 2 most probably imply? A. The darkness of the town in the morning. B. The huge pot of milk tea boiling on the fire. C. The way the local people welcomed the day. D. The stream of tourists rushing to the lookout point. 57. The author decided to wait with the Nepalese boy because A. she felt kind of having faith in him B. the restless tourists disappointed her C. that boy was praying to the sun with a magic stick D. she had nothing more to see on her sightseeing list 58. Which of the following words best describe the author’s feeling when she saw the sunrise? A. Totally shocked. B. Absolutely amazed. C. Truly frightened. D. Extremely interested. 59. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Do in Rome as the Romans do. B. God helps those who help themselves. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Fortune rewards those having patience. (B) Some people say that music makes the world go round and that it is to the soul what words are to the mind. Well, music and words go hand in hand when it comes to certain aspects of English! There are so many idioms based on music or instruments that are used in everyday speech! Here are some examples, which might help you to hit the right note when talking in English! Let it go Song: Let it go (2013) on Disney’s Frozen soundtrack Meaning: If you “let go” of a bad feeling or memory, you stop thinking about it or being upset by it; literally, if you “let go” of something, you stop holding onto it with your hands. Example: “I know you are upset that she left you, but you have to let it go and get on with your life.” Turn the page Song: Turn the page (1973) on the album Back in ’72 by Bob Seger Meaning: If you “turn the page”, you forget about the past and start your life again after a bad period. Literally, if you “turn the page” while reading, you go to the next page in a book and start reading that one. Example: “Six months after her divorce, she decided to turn the page and start a new relationship.” Rock the boat Song: Rock the boat (1974) on the album Freedom for the Stallion by the Hues Corporation Meaning: If you “rock the boat”, you do or say something that might upset people or cause problems or trouble. Literally, if you “rock a boat” (a small one), you move it from side to side, often to frighten other people. Example: “During the dinner, I didn’t want to rock the boat, so I kept quiet about the terrible money situation.” Let your hair down Song: Let your hair down (2014) on the album Don’t Kill the Magic by Magic Meaning: If you “let your hair down”, you act more freely than usual and really enjoy yourself. Literally, if someone with long hair “lets their hair down”, they untie it and let it fall freely. Example: “Come on, this is a party! Let your hair down and have some fun!” Poker face Song: Poker face (2008) on the album The Fame by Lady Gaga Meaning: If you have a “poke face”, you have a neutral expression on your face that doesn’t show an emotion, and which doesn’t let other people know that what you are thinking or feeling. Literally, during a game of poker, players often have a “poker face” (a neutral expression), so they do not give other players any information about which cards they might have. Example: “It is often useful to keep a poker face during business negotiations.” 60. One can comfort a friend who has failed an exam by saying “________,” as quoted in a 1970s song. A. rock the boat B. let your hair down C. turn the page D. keep a poker face 61. What can we infer about the “money situation” mentioned in the third box? A. The diners were likely to be short of capital. B. The restaurant chef was probably in heavy debt. C. The speaker was confident of an economic boom. D. The boat owner threatened to withdraw his funds. 62. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Magic of English Idioms in Animations B. Idioms — Inspiration for Popular Music C. Cheer Yourself up in the World of Music D. Useful Idioms from Popular Song Titles (C) When we perceive other people, we seldom describe a person in cold and objective words. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly — perhaps with a two-second glance. We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Social scientist Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’ behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person: questions, self-disclosure (自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and inconsistent (前后不一致的) behavior. 63. The word “pinpoint” in paragraph one is closest in meaning to ________ . A. appreciate B. obtain C. identify D. explain 64. What do we learn from the first paragraph? A. People like to be described in cold, objective words. B. It is impossible to get inside a person. C. It is difficult to describe a person in words. D. Getting to know a person is usually no easy job. 65. It can be inferred from Berger’s suggestions that ________. A. people reveal their true self on every occasion B. the best way to know a person is by making comparisons C. in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directly D. face-to-face interaction is the best way to uncover information about a person 66. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to________. A. warn readers of the negative side of people’s characters B. give advice on proper behavior for social occasions C. provide ways of how to describe people D. discuss the various aspects of getting to know people Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. What to Know If Buying a Flipped House House flipping is hardly new. For someone who is working in the real estate market, a flipped or recently renovated (翻新的)home can be very appealing. But how about you, the home-hunter?____67____ You certainly don’t need to avoid flipped properties. A flipped property does have some strong selling points. A lot of its features and fixtures have been replaced or improved. Certainly, you’ll save on the time and trouble of doing the renovation yourself. But there are some things to watch out for if you’re considering buying one. ____68____For example, Alice recently toured a flipped house whose kitchen drawer was blocked by the refrigerator and the dishwasher wasn’t installed correctly -things that would prevent people from being able to function in there. Addressing issues like these can become costly, especially if you haven’t factored them into your budget. Don’t neglect your right to a professional inspection. ____69____So getting an expert to go take a thorough look at the property is crucial, to make sure everything is up to code.

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. How to Make a Good Video Resumé (简历)? Video resumés have been around for a long time. With a well-made video resumé, you can present yourself creatively and allow a hiring manager to assess your personality, thus giving you an opportunity for interview. But how to make a good video resumé? First, start by introducing yourself and addressing the company you are applying to. For example, “Hello InVideo, I’m John Doe”. Not only does this get their attention but it makes them feel prioritized. The next thing is to address what profession you’re in or desire to be in. If you’re a filmmaker, you can simply state that or be creative with words and say you’re a visual storyteller. Then, talk about your passion for what you do and support it by referring to your past experiences and work. For example, building on the filmmaker’s introduction, you could talk about how meeting people from around the world and sharing their stories deeply motivates you, and then you can share an experience that supports it. You can also focus on life experiences that have led you to cultivate skills-like taking a year off to travel abroad, volunteering at a shelter, or a hobby that you actively pursue. You can also speak about your special achievements and awards that will add value to your profile or you can get someone to speak on behalf of you as social proof. At the end of the video, leave the ball in their court. However, you also need to give them a reason to call you for an interview. For example, you could end the video with this — “I have a lot more to me than I could fit in this short video and I hope you give me a chance to tell you about it over an interview”. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

When I passed my final exams last year, I decided to take a “gap year”, travelling and working before I take up my university studies. I wanted to do something to help people, so I arranged to come to this children’s hospital near Cape Town. There are six volunteers here at the moment. We have no medical training, but that isn’t important — our role will be to organise activities for the children, to bring some fun and laughter into their lives while they’re going through a hard time in hospital. I know it won’t be easy. I’ll be working for six hours a day from Monday to Friday and the work will take imagination, patience and lots of energy. But it will also be rewarding and I hope that by the end of my time here I will have helped to make life happier for some of the children. When I get back to the UK, I think I will have had a fantastic adventure. I will have been living independently and experiencing life in a place very different from the world I know. I hope I will have made new friends, and I know I will have learnt a lot. Questions 11.What will the speaker be doing during the next year? 12.What will the speaker do in the hospital? 13.What will the speaker have got when going back to the UK? 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

Pushing westward the boundary of the Grand Canyon. D. Enlarging the parking space for visitors. 【答案】14. A 15. D 16. B 【解析】 【原文】Situated in the north-western part of Arizona, the Grand Canyon is one of the natural wonders of the world. Contrary to popular belief, the Grand Canyon is not the longest, deepest or widest canyon in the world. But it is accessible, and with little vegetation to hide it, it feels big. But however vast it seems, it is not big enough to support the millions of people who visit it every year. When one section of the Grand Canyon was declared a national park in 1919, three years after the creation of the National Park Service, visitor numbers were 44,000. Today, with five million visitors a year, the Park Service is finding it difficult to keep the Canyon accessible to the public and to safeguard it for future generations. The pressures on the Grand Canyon National Park forced the Park Service to draw up a management plan. One of the first problems it faced was that of the large number of visitors' cars which needed parking space. The Park Service got around the problem by allowing visitors to take advantage of free buses, which take them on a number of routes around the park. Some of the other problems faced by the park are the result of things happening outside its boundaries. Take air pollution. On summer days, when there are south-westerly winds, the pollution blown in from Southern California can restrict the views over the Canyon. Those who once thought that the Grand Canyon was just an amazing hole in the ground soon learn that however big it is, its popularity is in danger of destroying the very qualities that made it one of the seven natural wonders in the world. Questions 14. What is the passage mainly about? 15. How many visitors come to the Grand Canyon every year now? 16. What was done to solve the shortage of parking space in the Grand Canyon? 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. A. Increased sales. B. Famous people’s influence. C. Some advertisements. D.

It was meaningless. C. It might be worth the price. D. It was special. 【答案】17. C 18. D 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: There’s one car advert that opens with part of a song by Bjork — it must have cost a fortune to make, and it looks tremendous... W: I’ve seen that one. You’re not sure what it's advertising to begin with, are you? A graceful silver vehicle moving through an unusual landscape... it could be a spacecraft of the future. All very stylish. The trouble is, it’s a bit of a let-down when you realise it’s just another car advert! M: Yes, the beginning is a bit misleading...It’s funny, isn’t it, sometimes the most effective ads are the really simple ones — you know, like a football manager sitting down at the breakfast table with his family, enjoying particular cookies... W: He eats them, so it must be good. And that actress from Friends advertising shampoo-Jennifer Aniston, wasn’t it? You know, seeing famous people on screen can be a huge influence on us. We see them as...well, as role models. M: Definitely. The ads they put on TV before the World Cup or the Olympics always use super stars, don’t they? W: Yeah, remember the one that had a whole team of top footballers from around the world! The special effects were incredible — the budget must have been huge... all for one advert! M: But the company probably earned millions of dollars in increased sales, so for them it was worth it! Questions 17. What are the two speakers talking about? 18. What do the speakers think of the beginning of the car ad? 19. What kind of ads are the most effective according to the man? 20. What does the man say about the ad with a whole team of top footballers from around the world? II.

The question of why the Western Roman Empire ended has fascinated historians for generations, ____32____ a debate that is nowhere near reaching an agreement. In 1984, German historian Alexander Demandt drew up a list of more than two hundred factors that have been cited to explain Rome’s fall — a fall ____33____ blamed on internal corruption (腐败). Other scholars have pointed to more specific reasons. Some have focused on the evolution of the Roman economy, which struggled to expand by the third century A.D. because of ____34____ on enslaved (受奴役的) people for labor. Ongoing military conflicts and civil wars that broke out from the third century on played a part too, weakening central authority and causing the empire to break apart, leaving it more ____35____ to external threats. In recent years, however, a (n) ____36____ theory has emerged, highlighting the impact of climatic changes and disease outbreaks.

Harper and other scholars have drawn on climate and widespread-disease data, which have opened up new ____38____ of research into the study of the past. The data suggest that the ____39____ conditions of the empire in the first century B.C. favored agricultural, economic, and population growth. But they became more variable with a trend toward cooling and drought, which impacted agricultural productivity. This crisis was compounded by another ____40____ natural phenomenon: epidemics (时疫).

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. “Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger,” explains Travis Atkinson, a licensed clinical social worker. “99% of the time, they are the ____41____ of an intense emotion: anger, which is brought about by stress from work, frustrations in life, and even hunger.” This is based, in part, on the theory of emotional hijacking, which suggests that intense emotions — like anger — can temporarily affect our ability to think ____42____ and make sensible decisions. The amygdala — the brain’s “integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation” — is involved too. More ____43____, a process called “amygdala hijack” comes into play: when the amygdala becomes overactivated it sets off the fight-or-flight response, leading to narrowed focus. This in turn causes a(n) ____44____ of good judgment, leading to a flash of anger. It results in ____45____ that are driven more by emotional intensity than by genuine thoughts or beliefs. This indicates that the ____46____ of the person’s outburst might not even be at the root of their anger. Perhaps, they were angry about the way their boss treated them at work. They may not have been able to fight back then, but the anger they’ve held on to since can ____47____ at the slightest disagreement with the friend they were catching up with at dinner. Letting out anger can help people feel emotionally ____48____, many psychologists argue. Others, however, believe an outburst can actually intensify our emotions and end up being ____49____. “You have the sense of immediate improvement, but it’s only a(n) ____50____,” says Jeffrey Lohr, a professor of psychology at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. “But the point is, it might be the search for that short-lived relief — even if it brings further harm — that drives a person to ____51____ angrily.” Lohr doesn’t see angry outbursts as a healthy way to release anger, yet he also warns against bottling up ____52____ feelings. His ____53____: releasing anger without using hurtful words. But managing emotions isn’t easy, and not everyone can control their feelings well. Sometimes ____54____ slip out before we even realize what we’re saying. We only ____55____ it when the other person looks hurt or after we understand what we’ve said. 41.

B 【解析】 【导语】文章借助情绪劫持理论，解释人们愤怒时说出违心话语的缘由，介绍了关于发泄愤怒的两种不同观点，并提出宣泄愤怒但不说伤人话语的处理办法。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：“在99%的情况下，这些话都是强烈情绪的一种表达：愤怒，这种情绪由工作压力、生活挫折甚至饥饿所引发。”A. cause原因；B. development发展；C. expression表达；D. perception感知。根据前文“Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger”可知，有时人们会在愤怒时说出违心的话，这些气头上说的话大多数都是在表达一种强烈的情绪。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：这在一定程度上基于情绪劫持理论，该理论认为诸如愤怒这类强烈情绪会暂时影响我们逻辑思考以及做出理智决定的能力。A. logically逻辑地；B. creatively创造性地；C. subjectively主观地；D. instinctively本能地。根据空后的“and make sensible decisions”可知，and表示并列，和“做出理智的决定”相对应的是逻辑地思考。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：更具体地说，一种叫作“杏仁核劫持”的机制就会开始起作用：当杏仁核过度激活时，就会触发战斗或逃跑反应，造成注意力变得狭隘。A. hopefully满怀希望地；B. specifically具体地；C. thoroughly彻底地；D. doubtfully怀疑地。根据前文第二段“This is based, in part, on the theory of emotional hijacking, which suggests that intense emotions — like anger — can temporarily affect our ability to think ________ and make sensible decisions. The amygdala — the brain’s ‘integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation’ — is involved too.”可知，第二段总述了情绪劫持理论，此处引出“杏仁核劫持”这一具体过程，more specifically为固定过渡短语，意为“更具体地说”，用于进一步细化解释。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：这继而会造成良好判断力的丧失，引发怒火的瞬间爆发。A. loss丧失；B. display展示；C. sense感觉；D. act行动。根据前文“a process called ‘amygdala hijack’ comes into play: when the amygdala becomes overactivated it sets off the fight-or-flight response, leading to narrowed focus.”可知，杏仁核过度激活会触发战斗或逃跑反应，注意力变得狭隘，由此会造成丧失良好判断力。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：这就会产生更多受情绪强度驱使，而非源于真实想法或信念的言辞。A. statements言辞；B. conflicts冲突；C. improvements改善；D. symptoms症状。根据文章首句“Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger”可知，人们在愤怒时会说出违心的话，此处表示人在愤怒爆发之时会说出一些非真实想法或信念驱动的言辞。 【46题详解】 考查名词。句意：这表明，一个人当场发火的由头甚至可能并不是其愤怒情绪的真正根源。A. duration持续时间；B. impact影响；C. tone语气；D. source来源。根据后文“Perhaps, they were angry about the way their boss treated them at work. They may not have been able to fight back then, but the anger they’ve held on to since can ________ at the slightest disagreement with the friend they were catching up with at dinner.”可知，后文举例说明人可能把对老板的不满积压下来，最后在无辜朋友身上爆发愤怒，由此可看出，当场发火的由头可能并不是愤怒的真正根源。 【47题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：他们当时或许无力反击，但自那时起积压在心中的愤怒，会在和共进晚餐叙旧的朋友产生一点点分歧时就宣泄迸发出来。A. build up逐步积累；B. die down逐渐平息；C. show off炫耀；D. spill out迸发，涌出。根据空前的“They may not have been able to fight back then, but the anger they’ve held on to since can”可知，把愤怒压抑在心中，遇到小小的分歧，积压的怒火就会迸发、宣泄出来。 【48题详解】 考查形容词。句意：许多心理学家认为，发泄愤怒能够帮助人们在情绪上感到宽慰。A. distressed痛苦的；B. relieved宽慰的；C. trapped受困的；D. weakened被削弱的。根据后文“You have the sense of immediate improvement”及“it might be the search for that short-lived relief”可知，发泄愤怒，会让人有瞬间好转的感觉，让人的内心得到释放，感到宽慰。 【49题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而另一些人认为，情绪爆发实际上会加剧我们的情绪，最终起到无益的效果。A. productive富有成效的；B. uninteresting无趣的；C. unhelpful无益的；D. challenging有挑战性的。根据上一段中“Letting out anger can help people feel emotionally ________, many psychologists argue.”及本句的“however”可知，前文说发泄愤怒对人们的帮助，此处转折引出反对观点，认为爆发怒火会加剧情绪，最终是无益的。 【50题详解】 考查名词。句意：阿肯色大学费耶特维尔分校的心理学教授杰弗里·洛尔说道：“你会有种立刻好转的感觉，但这仅仅只是一种感觉。”A. sense感觉；B. fix修复；C. change改变；D. emotion情绪。根据空前的“You have the sense of immediate improvement, but it’s only”可知，愤怒爆发看似能带来立刻好转的感受，but表转折，否定这种感受的真实性，说明这仅仅是主观上的感觉，并不是真正的好转。 【51题详解】 考查动词。句意：“但关键在于，即便是会带来更多伤害，对那种短暂解脱感的渴求，也可能驱使一个人做出愤怒的反应。”A. interrupt打断；B. react作出反应；C. gesture做手势；D. shake摇晃。根据前文“it might be the search for that short-lived relief — even if it brings further harm”可知，人们追求短暂的情绪释放，即便会造成伤害，也会在情绪驱动下做出愤怒的反应。 【52题详解】 考查形容词。句意：洛尔并不把愤怒爆发看作释放怒火的健康方式，但他同时也警示不要压抑负面情绪。A. mixed复杂的；B. hidden隐藏的；C. negative负面的；D. honest诚实的。根据空前的“Lohr doesn’t see angry outbursts as a healthy way to release anger, yet he also warns against bottling up”可知，yet表转折，既不支持发火爆发，也不建议压抑负面的情绪。 【53题详解】 考查名词。句意：他的解决办法：宣泄愤怒，但不使用伤人的话语。A. reason理由；B. outburst爆发；C. consequence后果；D. solution解决办法。根据空后的“releasing anger without using hurtful words.”可知，冒号后面给出具体可行的应对情绪的解决办法：不用伤人的话语来释放愤怒。 【54题详解】 考查名词。句意：有时候，话语会在我们甚至还没意识到自己在说什么的时候就脱口而出。A. secrets秘密；B. emotions情绪；C. words话语；D. behaviours行为。根据文章首句“Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger”及空后的“slip out before we even realize what we’re saying.”可知，人们在愤怒时会说出违心的话，此处表示有时候话语不经思考脱口而出。 【55题详解】 考查动词。句意：只有当对方面露受伤神情，或是在我们明白自己说了什么之后，我们才会察觉到这件事。A. experience经历；B. notice察觉到；C. accept接受；D. review回顾。根据前文“slip out before we even realize what we’re saying.”可知，话说出口时毫无察觉，直到看到对方受伤或自己知道所说的话后，我们才察觉到自己失言了。 Section B Directions: Read the following three 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) My husband and I were once in Nepal (尼泊尔) to see sunrise over the Himalayas. One morning we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock. As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand, I noticed the calm, gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning. One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea, and other villagers gathered around his fire, cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture. It was fascinating, but not to be left behind, we joined the stream of tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point. The top was crowded when we arrived, but after 10 minutes of cold waiting, the assembled group gave up. “The cloud cover is too heavy,” one said. Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next item on their sightseeing list. I was disappointed as well, but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds. He must know something we don’t, I thought. I decided to wait with him. The boy and I didn’t have to wait long. Moments later, a tiny stream of golden light burned through one thick cloud, then another. Rose-colored fog warmed the backs of the clouds, and suddenly the morning sun stole a glance around the side of the mountain, miles above where I’d expected it to be. Nothing I’d seen before prepared me for the moment the clouds withdrew with bowed heads, and the magnificent Himalayas were revealed before, around, and above me. I sat in astonishment, not breathing, not daring to look away, certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like. I certainly got the message. Never again will I rush a sunrise. I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them. 56. What does “It” in Paragraph 2 most probably imply? A. The darkness of the town in the morning. B. The huge pot of milk tea boiling on the fire. C. The way the local people welcomed the day. D. The stream of tourists rushing to the lookout point. 57. The author decided to wait with the Nepalese boy because A. she felt kind of having faith in him B. the restless tourists disappointed her C. that boy was praying to the sun with a magic stick D. she had nothing more to see on her sightseeing list 58. Which of the following words best describe the author’s feeling when she saw the sunrise? A. Totally shocked. B. Absolutely amazed. C. Truly frightened. D. Extremely interested. 59. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Do in Rome as the Romans do. B. God helps those who help themselves. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Fortune rewards those having patience. 【答案】56. C 57. A 58. B 59. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在尼泊尔观看喜马拉雅山日出的经历及从中得到的感悟。 【56题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand, I noticed the calm, gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning. One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea, and other villagers gathered around his fire, cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture. (我们手持相机匆匆穿过一个小镇时，我注意到尼泊尔人迎接清晨时那种平静、温和的方式。一个男人煮了一大壶奶茶，其他村民围在他的火炉旁，双手捧着一小杯热气腾腾的甜饮。)”可知，it指代上文中提到的内容，由此可知，“It”指的是当地人迎接新一天的方式。故选C项。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I was disappointed as well, but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds. He must know something we don’t, I thought. I decided to wait with him. (我也感到失望，但突然我注意到一个尼泊尔小男孩心不在焉地玩着一根棍子，时不时地瞥一眼云层。我想，他一定知道一些我们不知道的事情。我决定和他一起等。)”可知，作者决定和那个尼泊尔男孩一起等，是因为她有点相信他知道些什么。故选A项。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I sat in astonishment, not breathing, not daring to look away, certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like.(我惊讶地坐着，不呼吸，不敢移开视线，确信上帝把我放在地球的后门，向我展示天堂的真正模样。)”可知，当作者看到日出时，她感到非常惊奇。故选B项。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Never again will I rush a sunrise. I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them.(我再也不会急于看到日出了。我现在知道，只有当我真正准备好接受大自然的馈赠时，她才会把果实赐予我。)”可知，作者从这次经历中领悟到耐心等待会有回报，即命运会奖励有耐心的人。故选D项。 (B) Some people say that music makes the world go round and that it is to the soul what words are to the mind. Well, music and words go hand in hand when it comes to certain aspects of English! There are so many idioms based on music or instruments that are used in everyday speech! Here are some examples, which might help you to hit the right note when talking in English! Let it go Song: Let it go (2013) on Disney’s Frozen soundtrack Meaning: If you “let go” of a bad feeling or memory, you stop thinking about it or being upset by it; literally, if you “let go” of something, you stop holding onto it with your hands. Example: “I know you are upset that she left you, but you have to let it go and get on with your life.” Turn the page Song: Turn the page (1973) on the album Back in ’72 by Bob Seger Meaning: If you “turn the page”, you forget about the past and start your life again after a bad period. Literally, if you “turn the page” while reading, you go to the next page in a book and start reading that one. Example: “Six months after her divorce, she decided to turn the page and start a new relationship.” Rock the boat Song: Rock the boat (1974) on the album Freedom for the Stallion by the Hues Corporation Meaning: If you “rock the boat”, you do or say something that might upset people or cause problems or trouble. Literally, if you “rock a boat” (a small one), you move it from side to side, often to frighten other people. Example: “During the dinner, I didn’t want to rock the boat, so I kept quiet about the terrible money situation.” Let your hair down Song: Let your hair down (2014) on the album Don’t Kill the Magic by Magic Meaning: If you “let your hair down”, you act more freely than usual and really enjoy yourself. Literally, if someone with long hair “lets their hair down”, they untie it and let it fall freely. Example: “Come on, this is a party! Let your hair down and have some fun!” Poker face Song: Poker face (2008) on the album The Fame by Lady Gaga Meaning: If you have a “poke face”, you have a neutral expression on your face that doesn’t show an emotion, and which doesn’t let other people know that what you are thinking or feeling. Literally, during a game of poker, players often have a “poker face” (a neutral expression), so they do not give other players any information about which cards they might have. Example: “It is often useful to keep a poker face during business negotiations.” 60. One can comfort a friend who has failed an exam by saying “________,” as quoted in a 1970s song. A. rock the boat B. let your hair down C. turn the page D. keep a poker face 61. What can we infer about the “money situation” mentioned in the third box? A. The diners were likely to be short of capital. B. The restaurant chef was probably in heavy debt. C. The speaker was confident of an economic boom. D. The boat owner threatened to withdraw his funds. 62. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Magic of English Idioms in Animations B. Idioms — Inspiration for Popular Music C. Cheer Yourself up in the World of Music D. Useful Idioms from Popular Song Titles 【答案】60. C 61. A 62. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了来自流行歌曲名中的五个习语，解释了其意义，并给出了用法示例。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第二部分Song中“Turn the page (1973) on the album Back in ’72 by Bob Seger (1973年的Turn the page源自Bob Seger的专辑Back in ' 72)”和Meaning中“If you “turn the page”, you forget about the past and start your life again after a bad period. (如果你“turn the page”，你会忘记过去，在一段糟糕的时期后重新开始生活)”可知，“turn the page (翻页)”是上世纪70年代的一首歌中的一句话，用于表示忘记过去，在糟糕时期后开始新生活，因此可以用于安慰考试不及格的朋友。故选C项。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据表格第三部分Meaning中“If you “rock the boat”, you do or say something that might upset people or cause problems or trouble. (如果你“rock the boat”，你做或说的事情可能会让人不安或引起问题或麻烦)”和Example中“During the dinner, I didn’t want to rock the boat, so I kept quiet about the terrible money situation. (吃饭的时候，我不想惹麻烦，所以我对那糟糕的财务状况保持沉默)”可知，“rock the boat (搅局)”表示所做或所言会引起问题或麻烦，用餐的人如果说了糟糕的财务状况，就会引起麻烦。由此可知，用餐者很可能缺乏资金。故选A项。 【62题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“There are so many idioms based on music or instruments that are used in everyday speech! Here are some examples, which might help you to hit the right note when talking in English! (日常生活中有很多与音乐或乐器有关的习语！这里有一些例子，可以帮助你英语说得恰到好处)”可知，文章为读者介绍了来自流行歌曲名中的五个习语，解释了其意义，并给出了用法示例。因此，D项“流行歌名中的常用习语”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 (C) When we perceive other people, we seldom describe a person in cold and objective words. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly — perhaps with a two-second glance. We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Social scientist Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’ behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person: questions, self-disclosure (自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and inconsistent (前后不一致的) behavior. 63. The word “pinpoint” in paragraph one is closest in meaning to ________ . A. appreciate B. obtain C. identify D. explain 64. What do we learn from the first paragraph? A. People like to be described in cold, objective words. B. It is impossible to get inside a person. C. It is difficult to describe a person in words. D. Getting to know a person is usually no easy job. 65. It can be inferred from Berger’s suggestions that ________. A. people reveal their true self on every occasion B. the best way to know a person is by making comparisons C. in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directly D. face-to-face interaction is the best way to uncover information about a person 66. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to________. A. warn readers of the negative side of people’s characters B. give advice on proper behavior for social occasions C. provide ways of how to describe people D. discuss the various aspects of getting to know people 【答案】63. C 64. D 65. C 66. D 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了解他人的方式与难点。 【63题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters.(更多时候，我们试图走进对方内心，去pinpoint他 / 她的态度、情绪、动机、能力、想法和性格。)”可知，此处表示我们想要“确定、识别、查明”对方的种种内在特征，pinpoint含义为识别，与identify同义。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly - perhaps with a two-second glance.(此外，我们有时表现得好像能很快完成这项困难的工作——也许只需瞥两秒。)”可知，文中明确称了解他人为“this difficult job (这项困难的工作)”，所以了解一个人通常并非易事。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Social scientist Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’ behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person: questions, self-disclosure (自我表露), and so on. (社会科学家伯杰（Berger）提出了几种减少对他人不确定性的方法：在不被注意的情况下观察一个人与他人的互动，尤其是与你所认识的人的互动，这样你就可以将观察到的人的行为与已知他人的行为进行比较；在社交行为相对不受约束或需要各种各样行为反应的环境中观察一个人；刻意构建物理或社会环境，以观察此人对特定刺激的反应；询问那些曾与此人频繁接触或目前仍频繁接触的人关于他/她的情况；以及在面对面互动中使用各种策略来揭示关于另一个人的信息：提问、自我表露等等。)”可知，伯杰提出的方法包含暗中观察、侧面打听，多数情况下避免直接接触被观察对象。 【66题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章介绍我们如何感知他人、了解他人的多种途径以及了解他人是永无止境的事情。根据第三段中的“Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise.(了解一个人是永无止境的任务，很大程度上是因为人一直在变化，而且我们获取信息的方法往往不够精确。)”可知，文章围绕了解人的各个方面展开讨论。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. What to Know If Buying a Flipped House House flipping is hardly new. For someone who is working in the real estate market, a flipped or recently renovated (翻新的)home can be very appealing. But how about you, the home-hunter?____67____ You certainly don’t need to avoid flipped properties. A flipped property does have some strong selling points. A lot of its features and fixtures have been replaced or improved. Certainly, you’ll save on the time and trouble of doing the renovation yourself. But there are some things to watch out for if you’re considering buying one. ____68____For example, Alice recently toured a flipped house whose kitchen drawer was blocked by the refrigerator and the dishwasher wasn’t installed correctly -things that would prevent people from being able to function in there. Addressing issues like these can become costly, especially if you haven’t factored them into your budget. Don’t neglect your right to a professional inspection. ____69____So getting an expert to go take a thorough look at the property is crucial, to make sure everything is up to code. It’s going to be really important to do your sewer(下水道)and separate roof inspections. Flipped houses may seem up-to-date on the surface, but shiny new finishes can sometimes mask substandard work. Finally, flipped properties are rarely advertised as such. Therefore, it is crucial to work with aknowledgeable real estate agent. ____70____When he tours a house that he suspects is being flipped, he’ll check who owned the home previously, and will reach out to other agents in his network to see if anyone has experience buying from them. A. The key is to look for places where improvements were done poorly. B. An experienced agent is probably going to have a better eye than the buyer. C. Is buying one of these quick-turnaround properties a good idea? D. Set aside money for any problems that may crop up or ask the seller to cover them. E. How do you know if the previous owner has moved out of the house? F. Flippers sometimes skip getting permits for the work they do. 【答案】67. C 68. A 69. F 70. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了购买翻新房屋时需要注意的事项。 【67题详解】 根据上文“House flipping is hardly new. For someone who is working in the real estate market, a flipped or recently renovated (翻新的)home can be very appealing. But how about you, the home-hunter?(房屋翻新并不是什么新鲜事。对于在房地产市场工作的人来说，翻新过或最近装修过的房子非常有吸引力。那你呢，购房者？)”可知，上文讲述的是翻新过的房子对于在房地产市场工作的人来说有吸引力。选项C“Is buying one of these quick-turnaround properties a good idea?(购买这些快速周转的房产是个好主意吗？)”延续上文内容，继续询问购房者是否会对这种房产感兴趣。故选C。 【68题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“For example, Alice recently toured a flipped house whose kitchen drawer was blocked by the refrigerator and the dishwasher wasn’t installed correctly -things that would prevent people from being able to function in there. Addressing issues like these can become costly, especially if you haven’t factored them into your budget.(例如，Alice最近参观了一个翻新的房子，厨房的抽屉被冰箱堵住了，洗碗机也没有安装好——这些都会妨碍人们在里面工作。解决这些问题可能会付出高昂的代价，尤其是如果你没有把它们考虑到你的预算中。)”可知，在参观这种翻新过的房子时，我们要注意那些翻新得不太好的地方。选项A“The key is to look for places where improvements were done poorly.(关键是要找出那些改善得不好的地方。)”与下文内容一致。故选A。 【69题详解】 根据空后内容“So getting an expert to go take a thorough look at the property is crucial, to make sure everything is up to code.(因此，请一位专家去仔细检查一下这处房产是至关重要的，以确保一切符合规定。)”可知，房产翻新的合法性需要得到证实。选项F“Flippers sometimes skip getting permits for the work they do.(翻新者有时会跳过他们所做工作的许可证。)”与下文内容一致，指的是有时候翻新者不会获得他们所做工作的许可证，所以我们应该请一位专家去仔细检查一下这处房产，以确保一切符合规定。故选F。 【70题详解】 根据空前“Therefore, it is crucial to work with acknowledgeable real estate agent.(因此，与知识渊博的房地产经纪人合作是至关重要的。)”可知，与知识渊博的房地产经纪人合作是至关重要的。而下文“When he tours a house that he suspects is being flipped, he’ll check who owned the home previously, and will reach out to other agents in his network to see if anyone has experience buying from them(当他参观他怀疑正在被翻新的房屋时，他会检查以前房主是谁，并会联系他网络中的其他经纪人，看看是否有人从他们那里购买过房屋的经验。)”也指出了知识渊博的房地产经纪人的重要性。选项B“An experienced agent is probably going to have a better eye than the buyer.(一个有经验的经纪人可能会比买方看得更清楚。)”与上下文内容一致，指的都是好的经纪人的重要性。故选B。 IV. Summary Writing 71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. How to Make a Good Video Resumé (简历)? Video resumés have been around for a long time. With a well-made video resumé, you can present yourself creatively and allow a hiring manager to assess your personality, thus giving you an opportunity for interview. But how to make a good video resumé? First, start by introducing yourself and addressing the company you are applying to. For example, “Hello InVideo, I’m John Doe”. Not only does this get their attention but it makes them feel prioritized. The next thing is to address what profession you’re in or desire to be in. If you’re a filmmaker, you can simply state that or be creative with words and say you’re a visual storyteller. Then, talk about your passion for what you do and support it by referring to your past experiences and work. For example, building on the filmmaker’s introduction, you could talk about how meeting people from around the world and sharing their stories deeply motivates you, and then you can share an experience that supports it. You can also focus on life experiences that have led you to cultivate skills-like taking a year off to travel abroad, volunteering at a shelter, or a hobby that you actively pursue. You can also speak about your special achievements and awards that will add value to your profile or you can get someone to speak on behalf of you as social proof. At the end of the video, leave the ball in their court. However, you also need to give them a reason to call you for an interview. For example, you could end the video with this — “I have a lot more to me than I could fit in this short video and I hope you give me a chance to tell you about it over an interview”. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Video resumés offer a creative way to show personality and skills. Begin your video resumé by introducing yourself, addressing the company, and stating your profession or desired role. Then discuss your passion and back it with past experiences, life skills, achievements or recommendations. Conclude by inviting an interview, emphasizing there’s more to share.(53 words) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，视频简历提供了一种展示个性和技能的创造性方式。视频简历的开头包括自我介绍、公司名称、职业或期望的职位。然后讨论你的激情，用过去的经历、生活技能、成就或推荐来支持它。最后邀请面试，强调有更多的东西可以分享。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①With a well-made video resumé, you can present yourself creatively and allow a hiring manager to assess your personality, thus giving you an opportunity for interview. ②First, start by introducing yourself and addressing the company you are applying to. ③The next thing is to address what profession you’re in or desire to be in. ④Then, talk about your passion for what you do and support it by referring to your past experiences and work. ⑤However, you also need to give them a reason to call you for an interview.
