Gift from a stranger
My local supermarket is always busy. The first parking space I found was conve-

in a good mood, I let her have it. On the edge of the car park I backed into the next
available spot—it was a tight fit.
Pretty soon I’d made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air.
Feeling good, I

struggling woman reverse park.
Just as I approached my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car space earlier. She was giv-
ing me (27) _____ odd look—half puzzled, half intent (热切的). I smiled and wished her a pleas-
ant day. As I squeezed back into my car, I spotted the same lady (28) _____ (look) in at me.

my mother’s things off at the charity bins. You are just so much (30) ____________ her. You
helped those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and
passed a box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.” (31) _________
(shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.
After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl.
It was (32) __________ (nice) gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The
necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.(B)
Ask Helpful Hannah
Dear Helpful Hannah,
I’ve got a problem with my husband, Sam. He bought a smartphone a couple of
months ago and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado. It was a great trip ex-
cept for one problem. He has a constant urge to (33) _______ (check) for text messages;
he checks his phone every five minutes! He’s so addicted to it that he just can’t stand
the idea (34) ________ there may be an important text. He can’t help checking even at
inappropriate times like when we are eating in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He
behaves (35) _____ _____ any small amount of boredom can make him feel the need to

has become more than an everyday problem.
I recently read an article about “nomophobia,” (40) __________ is a real illness peo-
ple can suffer from the fear of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam may be
suffering from this illness because he feels anxious if he doesn’t have his phone with
him, even for a short time.
Who would have thought that little devices like these could have brought so much
trouble?

Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only
be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A. access B. alternatives C. assigned D. confirmed E. conflicting F. elements
G. function H. innovative I. prospective J. separate K. supporting
Considering how much time people spend in offices, it is important that work spaces
be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They mo-
tivate workers, and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential ,
or __41__, customers. They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the cor-
porate culture we live in.
As we move away from an industrial –based economy to a knowledge-based one,
office designers have come up with __42___ to the traditional work environments of the
past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more
flexible “strategic management environments.” These ___43___ solutions are meant to
support better organizational performance.
As employee hierarchies (等级制度) have flattened, or decreased, office designers’ re-
sponse to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locationswithin the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility
has also been __44___ by changes in workstation design. Offices and work spaces often
are not __45___ to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods
of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equip-
ment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communication, which de-
signers have improved by lowering the walls that ___46____ workstations. Designers have
also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees’ __47___ to heavily traf-
ficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.
Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of
competing and often ___48__ demands, including budgetary limits, employee hierarchies,
and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands
must also be balanced with the need to create interiors(内饰) that in some way enhance,
establish, or promote a company’s image and will enable employees to __49__ st their
best.
All these __50___ of office design are related. The most successful office designs are
like a good marriage--- the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are
seemingly made for each other.
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.
If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their
meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see
plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on
hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.
In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 in
people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to
do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.
Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 .
They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth,
but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have
probably heard that opposites attract but that
5 5 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.
First Impression
To help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and
had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then
students were asked to 5 7
what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they re-
ported what happened.
As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an
early stage who would best fit into their lives.
The 6 0 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many ani-
mals give off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a re-
sponse in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready
to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as
other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human at-
traction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and
receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.
Face Value
Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we
find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 sec-
onds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people
who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 6 4 attractiveness seem to be some-
what automatic.
When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people re-
sponded to 6 5
words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy
thinking.
51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise
52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. artificial

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)
Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the
snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the
earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way
back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during
several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill andthought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from
the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary
works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo,
who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s
courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The
city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street
corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflec-
tion of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining
freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explo-
sive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich,
Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of
April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed
with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the
crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the
bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is
lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt
down, the longer summer is said to be.
66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?
A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
67.“The heyday of the snowman” (Paragraph 4) means the time when___________.
A. snowmen were made mainly by artists B. snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C. snowmen were politically criticized D. snowmen caused damaging floods
68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A. the start of the parade B. the coming of a longer summer
C. the passing of the winter D. the success of tradesmen
69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?
A. They were appreciated in history B. They have lost their value
C. They were related to movies D. They vary in shape and size(B)

(C)
One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop us-
ing the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar.
“Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone
in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were
available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare
—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged
that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have
to endeavor,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to ad-
vise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None
more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the
White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeare”. They are am-
ateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and
their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40
workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for
government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and
using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar , sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of
Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building
and grass roots organism.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes, con-
tain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example,
includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do
come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of
power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a mas-
terful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus,
saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt related
Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the after the murder,
they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the
boss?
73. According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?
A. Cruel. B. Superior. C. Honorable. D. Fake.
74. According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeare” to ________.
A. help executives to understand Shakespeare’s plays better
B. give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s plays
C. provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshops
D. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.75. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?
A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D. To warn executives against power misuse.
76. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.
B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays.
C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.
D. Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.
77. The best title for the passage is _____.
A. Shakespeare’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate culture
B. Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business success
C. Shakespeare’s plays: a lesson for business motivation
D. Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic results
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words.
Youth sport has the potential to accomplish three important objectives in children’s develop-
ment. First, sport programs can provide youth with opportunities to be physically active, which
can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth sport programs have long been considered
important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life
skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth sport programs are
critical for the learning of motor skills; these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national
sport stars and recreational adult sport participants. When coachers develop activities for youth
practices and when sport organizations design youth-sport programs, they must consider the impli-
cation of deliberate play and deliberate practice.
Research from Telama (2006) states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate
practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likelihood of
participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Côté (2002) de-
fines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment. These activities
are regulated by flexible rules adapted from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children
or by an involved adult. Children typically change rules to find a point where their game is similar
to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children may change soccer
and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g. in the street. on a playing field or in
someone’s backyard). When involved in deliberate play activities, children are less concerned with
the outcome of their outcome of their behavior. (whether they win or lose) than with the behavior.
(having fun).
On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs through
involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activ-
ities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are motivated by the goal of improving
performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved in deliberate play,
they experiment with different combinations of behaviors, but not necessarily in the most effectiveway to improve performance. In contrast, when individuals are involved in deliberate practice,
they exhibit behavior. focused on improving performance by the most effective means available.
For example, the backhand skills in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing
matches or by creating fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively improve
their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable. Although
drills are used in most effective means available practice might not be the most enjoyable, they
might be the most relevant to improving performance.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
78. Besides the learning of motor skills, what are the other two important objectives of youth
sport?
79. If children participate in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities, they are more likely
to__________
_________________________________________.
80. In deliberate play activities, what do children do to maximize enjoyment?
81. In contrast to deliberate play, deliberate practice is aimed at____________.

Section B
Directions: In section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three ques-
tions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spo-
ken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and
decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
In cities all over the world, people go to cafés to relax alone or with friends. But in many cafes in
Korea, you can do more than that. You can relax, and play with dogs at new dog cafes. TheSnoopy Café is one of them. The dogs there are in cages around the room. First, you choose the
dog. Then it comes out of its cage. You can buy food for it. The Ball House is different from the
Snoopy Café. You don’t have to choose a dog at the Ball House. All the dogs sit, play, or run
around while people drink coffee and eat sandwiches. You can play with all the dogs at the Ball
House. Lori Chon goes to the Ball House about once a week. She likes to play with Princess, her
favorite dog. She often buys food for Princess, too. Lori likes to go to the Snoopy Café for many
reasons. “I love dogs” she says, “but my apartment is too small for a dog. Also, dogs don’t like to
be alone, and I work all day”. So when Lori needs to have some fun with the pet, she goes to the
dog café to see Princess. Dog cafes are very popular in Korea, but they are not cheap. A cup of
coffee costs about three dollars and fifty cents, but the fun is free.
Questions.
11. How is the Ball House different from the Snoopy Café?
12. Why does Lori like going to the Snoopy Café?
13. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
We are hearing a lot these days about downshifting, so what is it? The term downshifting first ap-
peared in 1994. It was coined by the Trans-research Institute to describe a new philosophy by
which higher achievers at work chose a lower salary in exchange for a better quality of life. Ac-
cording to a recent study, 4 out of 10 people under 35 years old are planning to downshift from
stressful jobs to a slower pace of life. It is not just the dream of the young, It is also popular with
35 to 54-year old, 12% of whom are making plans to downshift, 16% hoping to down so in next 2
years.
The study found that, 7% of workers had already downshifted. Doctor Lucy Grand, a psychologist
looking at the phenomenon, believes that the downshifting is a dream that more and more people
want to turn into a reality. People are not satisfied with their lives, and they want to make changes.
However Doctor Grand adds, that some people will hesitate, because they don’t actually believe
they can make it happen, while others will rush into downshifting to discover that their dream
ends up with the financial crisis. So it’s something that requires a lot of thought and planning to
get right.
Questions.
14. According to the passage, what is downshifting?
15. According to a recent study, what is the percentage of workers who have already downshifted?
16. In Lucy Grand’s opinion, why does downshifting require a lot of thought and planning?
Section C

read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks

his experience.
Madam: How do you feel about the climb, Mike?
Mike: It was a lot more difficult than we had expected, but we persevered and made it.
Madam: Why did you choose to conquer such a height?
Mike: We regard this as a chance to prove the human spirit.
Madam: Really a tough journey. What did you do in time of a difficulty?
Mike: We turned to each other for inspiration as we continued on the way to the peak.
Madam: So did you keep a record of the adventure?
Mike: Yes, we kept a diary of your troubles on line.
Madam: How long did the adventure last?
Mike: 30 days and we reached the top on June 5th.
Madam: Getting to the top was definitely the high point. Thank you, Mike.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Since the Reading Festival is around the corner, I’m writing to recommend a picture which can be
used in the brochure to remind the students of the pleasure of reading.
In the picture, three students are sitting at the table, discussing heatedly what they have just read.
It seems that they have had a lot of fun through the discussion. Though it is admitted that reading
is mostly a personal activity which needs quietness and concentration, as far as I’m concerned, it
can also be a sharing experience when the same book is being appreciated. Just imagine that you
have read a terrific detective story with fascinating and intricate plots. You are so amazed by the
genius of the writer and you can’t help sharing it with your classmates or best friends, who turn
out to have been deeply impressed as well. The moment you mention the book, the passion and
enthusiasm about the story will explode which can never be gained on your own. My ideal atmos-
phere of reading is just like that, through which you can not only appreciate the content by your-
self, but also have the pleasure of sharing the plots or opinions with your peers, which will ulti-
mately enhance your understanding of the book. To sum up, the reason of my recommendation is
quite simple and apparent that reading, instead of being dull and isolating, can be full of participa-tion and common interest. I sincerely hope that you will take my suggestion into consideration and
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Pan Yang考生注意:
1. 考试时间120分钟,试卷满分150分。

录音文本:
In the cities all over the world, people go to cafés to relax alone or with friends. And there are
many cafes in Korea. You can do more than that. You can relax and play with dogs at new dog
cafes. The Snoopy Café is one of them. The dogs there are in cages around the room. First, you
choose a dog. Then it comes out of the cage. You can buy food for it. The Bau House is different
from the Snoopy Café. You don’t have to choose a dog at the Bau House. All the dogs sit, play or
run around while people drink coffee and eat sandwiches. You can play with all the dogs at the
Bau House. LaureyChuong goes to the Snoopy Café about once a week. She likes to play with
Princess, her favorite dog. She often buys food for Princess, too. Lori likes to go to the Snoopy
Café for many reasons. “I love dogs,” she says, “but my apartment is too small for a dog. Also,
dogs don’t like to be alone and I work all day.” So when Laurey needs to have some fun with a
pet, she goes to the dog café to see princess. Dog cafés are very popular in Korea. But they are not
cheap. A cup of coffee costs about 3 dollars and 50 cents, but the fun is free.
11. C 录音内容为“The Bau House is different from the Snoopy Café. You don’t have to choose
a dog at the Bau House. All the dogs sit, play or run around while people drink coffee and eat
sandwiches.”第一句明确交代了the Bau House与the Snoopy Café的不同,考生需要听到这
里时注意听该句后面的内容,就能选出答案。
12. B 录音内容为“So when Laurey needs to have some fun with a pet, she goes to the dog café
to see princess.”虽然这句的前面有这句话“Lori likes to go to the Snoopy Café for many rea-
sons.”给考生一点干扰,并且后面还引用了Laurey自己说的两句话。但是最后还是可以明
确听出Laurey喜欢去狗狗咖啡厅的原因。
13. A 此题解题关键就是能把握全文的大意,全文介绍两种咖啡厅,虽然名字不同,但形
式上的共性就是狗狗和人都可以在咖啡厅里一起玩乐,所以本文主要介绍的是一种新型的咖啡厅。并且录音里提到一句话也帮助考生得到这个答案“You can do more than that. You
can relax and play with dogs at new dog cafes.”。

We are hearing a lot these days about downshifting. So what is it? The term downshifting
first appeared in 1994. It was coined by the trans-research institute to describe a new philosophy
by which higher achievers at work chose a lower salary in exchange for a better quality of life.
According to a recent study, four out of ten people under 35 years old are planning to downshift
from stressful jobs to a slower pace of life. It’s not just the dream of the young. It’s also popular
with 35-54 years old, 12% of whom are making plans to downshift, 6% hoping to have done so in
the next 2 years. The study found that 7% of workers had already downshifted. Doctor Lucy
Grant, a psychologist looking at the phenomenon believes that downshifting is a dream that more
and more people want to turn into a reality. People are not satisfied with their lives and they want
to make changes. However, Doctor Grant adds some people will hesitate because they don't actu-
ally believe they can make it happen while others will rush into downshifting to discover that theirdream ends up with financial crisis, so it is something that requires a lot of thoughts and planning
to get right.
14. According to the passage, what is downshifting?
答案:B. A view that life quality is more important than pay.
解析:此题是概念推断题。问题是问什么是 downshifting?我们听到有这么一句话It was
coined by the trans-research institute to describe a new philosophy by which higher achievers at
wor chose a lower salary in exchange for a better quality of life. 判断答案选B。注意这一点:
文中的philosophy就是答案中的view。
15. According to a recent study, what is the percentage of workers who had already downshifted?
答案:D. 7%
16. In Lucy Grant’s opinion, why does downshifting require a lot of thoughts and planning?
答案:D. Unexpected problems may arise
解析:此题是句意推断题。问的是根据这个人的观点,为什么人们在放慢生活节奏的时候
要考虑和计划很多事呢?我们听到这么一句话some people will hesitate because they don't ac-
tually believe they can make it happen while others will rush into downshifting to discover that
their dream ends up with financial crisis。人们不相信这会发生,而那些在没有准备就去
downshift的人们,他们的美梦最终被经济危机所击败,这里的经济危机就是意料不到的问
题。所以判断出答案是D选项。

19. engineer 类似上题,文中几次提到了engineer(检修服务的实施和提供者),前一次因
故没有完成任务,再次约定时间。此空较容易。
20. Wednesday 听力填空中这种时间词很容易在对话中捕捉到,一般前文都会有一些指示词提示同学们注意这里。原文中 I can arrange for another engineer to visit you on Wednesday.
一句话中包含了两个空的正确答案。如果第一次没有听清,第二次播放录音时注意认真听

Why did they choose to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro? 22 .
What did they do in time of difficulty? They persevered, 23 each other.
How did they record their adventure? By keeping 24 .
【答案】
21. disabled
22. the human spirit
23. inspiring
24. an online diary/ a diary online
【解析】听力原文
W: Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa. Climbing it is no small task, especially for
a group of seven who are all disabled in some way. Here we have one of the climbers, Mike, to
share his experience.
W: How do you feel about the climb, Mike?
M: It was a lot more difficult than we had expected, but we persevered and made it.
W: Why did you choose to conquer such a height?
M: We regarded this as a chance to prove the human spirit.
W: Really a tough journey! What did you do in time of difficulty?
M: We turned to each other for inspiration as we continued all the way to the peak.
W: So did you keep a record of the adventure?
M: Yes, we kept a diary of our troubles online.
W: How long did the adventure last?
M: 30 days. And we reached the top on June 5th.
W: Getting to the top was definitely the high point. Thank you, Mike!21. disabled问题中有special一词,是这道题的信息重点。听过短文之后,不难得出答案为
disabled,解释为残疾的。
23. inspiring考查了turn to each other这个词组,意为相互帮助。We turned to each other for
inspiration as we continued all the way to the peak. 在我们持续到顶峰的过程中,我们向对方
寻求灵感。此处用动名词形式作状语。
24. an online diary/ a diary online本身难度不大,但是学生很容易犯错。首先,diary日记一
词和dairy乳制品一词为形近词,学生很容易搞混;其次,基础不扎实的学生可能会漏听冠
词a还有后面的Online,因此在平时训练中,要加强对小词的训练。

(A)
Gift from a stranger
My local supermarket is always busy. The first parking space I found was convenient, but I'd
noticed a woman in a blue car circling for a while. (25) _____ I was in a good mood, I let her have
it. On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot—it was a tight fit.
Pretty soon I'd made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air. Feeling
good, I (26) _____(empty) my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a strug-
gling woman reverse park(倒车).
Just as I approached my car, 1 saw the woman I'd let have my car space earlier. She was giv-
ing me (27) _____ odd look—half puzzled, half intent (热切的). I smiled and wished her a pleas-
ant day. As I squeezed back into my car, I spotted the same lady (28) _____ (look) in at me.
"Hello," she said, hesitantly. "This (29) _____ sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of
my mother's things off at the charity bins.” You are just so much (30) _____ her.” You helpedthose people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and passed a
box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.” (31) _____ (shock), I took it
from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.
After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl.
It was (32) _____ (nice) gift I'd ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The necklace
was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.
25 【答案】 As/Because/Since
【解析】 根据句子成分分析,句子有两个谓语(was 和let ),其中let sb do sth
是固定用法,所以得出所填空格为连词。根据划线部分后的句意“我心情很好,我让她用
这个”分析,前后句子构成一种因果的关系,所以答案为Because。又因为As和since作为
连词时也可以表示因为,所以答案也可以是As 和Since。此外,也要注意大写首字母。
【考点定位】 考查连词
26 【答案】 emptied
【考点定位】 考查谓语动词的时态
27 【答案】 an
【解析】 本句的句意是她给了我一个奇怪的表情,一半困惑,一半热切。根
据句子的结构形式分析:破折号后面是一个解释说明的作用。结合划线部分后面是一个形
容词加名词的情况,可以知道该空,应该是填写冠词。又由于形容词odd是以元音开头,
所以答案是an.
【考点定位】 考查冠词的用法
28 【答案】 looking
【解析】 该句前面As I squeezed back into my car是一个状语从句,根据句子
成分分析,主句已经有了谓语形式saw,所以判断空格应该是一个非谓语的形式。由于see有一个用法是see sb doing,用于看到正在进行的事情。结合句意“当我倒车的时候,我看到
同样这个女性在看着我”,综合可以得出答案。
【考点定位】 考查非谓语的用法
29 【答案】 might/may
[来源:学§科§网]
【考点定位】 考查情态动词的用法
30 【答案】 like
【解析】 分析该空的句子结构,You为主语 are为系动词,just so much为状
语,me为宾语,可以得知,划线部分应该是填一个介词,构成主+be+介词+宾语的结构。
根据句意,你和她非常的像。可以知道该空的答案是like.
【考点定位】 考查介词的用法
31 【答案】 Shocked
【解析】 划线部分后接逗号,单独一个词作状语。该词在句中能作状语修饰
谓语动词或整个句子,根据句意“非常震惊,我自动从她手中接过。”由于是用于指我震
惊,所以用词是ed结尾,另外,shocked分词的形式是作为形容词,它常用作状语。
【考点定位】 考查非谓语的用法
32 【答案】 the nicest
【考点定位】 考查最高级的用法

the fear of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam maybe suffering from this illness be-

Considering how much time people spend in effects, it is important that with A be well de-
signed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers and
they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or 41 , customers. They
make business work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture to live in.
As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office de-
signers come up with 42 to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry
has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management envi-
ronments.” These 43 solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.
As employee hierarchies (等级制度)have flattened or decreased, office designers’ re-
sponse to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the of-
fice and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been 44
by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not 45 to a given person
on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion
or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design
goal is communication, which designers have improved by breaking the walls that 46 worksta-
tions. Designers have also created informal gathering places and upgraded employees’ 47 to
heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.
Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing
and often 48 demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technological in-
novation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with
the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company’s im-
age and will enable employees to 49 and their best.
All these 50 of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like good
marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each
other.

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.
If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their
meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty
of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting
and gathering wild foods for meals.
In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 in peo-
ple’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do
with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.
Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They
ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but
clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably
heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is
not yet set in stone.
First Impression
To help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had
them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then stu-dents were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners.
After nine weeks, they reported what happened.
As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early
stage who would best fit into their lives.
The 60 Knows
Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many ani-
mals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a re-
sponse in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready
to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other
animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction.
Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive
loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.
Face Value
Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we
find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to
view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had
more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat auto-
matic.
When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to
65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause
happy thinking.

试题分析:古代和现代的人追求不同,现代人追求的是爱,但是科学家依然对爱还不是很
清楚。
51. A 考查副词以及对语境的理解 Instead 意为相反,Therefore意为因此, Moreover
意为此外, Otherwise 意为否则。观察空格前后的句式结构,可以前面用的是 you would
not detect … ,后面用的是you would see ,使用的动词不同,结构相同。由于前面有not,后
面没有,所以可知此处表达为意思相反,所以答案为A。53. B 考查名词以及对语境的理解 priority 意为优先权,proof 意为证明,possibility 意
为可能性,principle 意为原则。后两句的意思是:很容易准备一系列的有关爱的现代故事。
在当前的流行文化中,无数的故事和电影归类为爱情故事。根据这两句,的意思,结合上
下文语境可知道本句的意思就是有很多证明的例子,所以答案为proof.
54. D 考查动词以及对语境的理解 tested 意为测试,imposed意为强加,changed 意为
改变,created 意为创造。根据本段的最后一句话“One thing is certain: The truth about love
is not yet set in stone. 确定了一件事情是:爱的真理还不确定”可以知道科学家研究的是爱
是否能够创造,而不应该是测试,改变或者是强加。其中set in stone 就像中文里说的“板
上钉钉”,表示绝对不变。
56. C 考查名词以及对语境的理解 illustrations 意为说明,implications 意为含义;暗示;
牵连,卷入;可能的结果,影响,ingredients 意为成分,intentions 意为意图,目的。根据
小标题First Impression (第一印象)以及后面所描述的实验方法、内容和结果,可以知道
实验的目的是决定吸引力的成分。
57. A 考查动词以及对语境的理解 predict 意为预测,investigate 意为调查,diagnose 意
为诊断, recall 意为回忆。根据58题后面的judgment (判断),可以知道此处的答案应该是
和判断同义的词。又根据该句后面的句子“after nine weeks, they reported what happened. 9
周之后,报道发生了什么事情?”可以知道这一些是还没有发生的事情,也就是预测到的
东西。
58. B 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 critical 意为 批评的 ,initial 意为原始的 ,
random 意为随意的, mature 意为成熟的。根据第57题预测的东西,那么预测的东西相
对而言就是原始的,最初的判断。59. B 考查动词以及对语境的理解 memorize 意为记忆,distinguish 意为区别,negoti-
ate 意为谈判, question意为疑问。根据前一句话的意思“结果证明他们最初的判断是正
确的”,该句要表达的意思和前一句相同,也就是说“学生似乎能够在早期区别适合他们
的生活人”。
61. A 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 open 意为开放的,alert 意为警觉的,resistant 意
为抵抗的,superior 意为优越的。根据前面的搭配either… or…要么……,要么,表明此处
是一个反义表达。前面使用的是战争,那么后面应该是一种开放,也就是坦诚以对。
62. D 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 disappointed 意为失望的,amazed 意为惊奇的,
confused 意为困惑的,gifted 意为有天赋的。根据In contrast(相反)以及后文“Although
we may not be aware of chemicals 尽管我们没有意识到”, 结合上下文语境知道在这里表
达人类没有像动物那么有天赋。
63. B 考查名词以及对语境的理解 emotion意为情感,attractiveness 意为吸引力,individ-
uality 意为个人的 ,signals意为信号。根据上一句话最后一个单词attractive,结合上下
文知道此处的答案和这个单词attractive是同根重现,所以答案是attractiveness.
65. C 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 familiar 意为熟悉,plain 意为普通的, positive 意
为积极的, irritating 意为无礼的。根据最后一句的表达“Seeing something attractive seems
to cause happy thinking. 看一些吸引力的事情似乎能够导致快乐的思考。”不能得出答案的
表达应该是一种快乐思考,所以答案为positive积极的。

Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the
snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the
earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way
back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during
several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and
thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from
the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary
works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo,
who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s
courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The
city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street
corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflec-
tion of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining
freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some ex-
plosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich,
Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of
April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed
with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the
crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the
bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is
lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt
down, the longer summer is said to be.
66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?
A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
67. “The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.
A. snowmen were made mainly by artists
B. snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C. snowmen were politically criticized
D. snowmen caused damaging floods
68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A. the start of the parade
B. the coming of a longer summer
C. the passing of the winter
D. the success of tradesmen
69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?
A. They were appreciated in history
B. They have lost their value
C. They were related to movies
D. They vary in shape and size

试题分析:本文讲述历史的文化标志:雪人。68. C 细节理解题 根据“celebrate the beginning of spring …. 庆祝春天的开始”, 可以知

69. A 推理题根据文章的第一句话look to many of history’s cultural symbols回顾许多的历史
文化标志,另外整篇文章出现过很多的history,结合上下文可以知道答案是A (雪人在历
史上是受欣赏的。)另外也可以根据排除法,排除其他选项。比如 B选项,他们的价值现

B
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit(2005) is the first full-length feature film
made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plas-
ticine(粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and
if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon
comedy.
Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have
started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits.
However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enor-
mous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables
and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady
Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they
will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quarter-
maine who is desperate to kill it.
The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the
voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and
Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of
emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who
plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really
funny.
To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is
suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s
previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour,
you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!70. In the film review, what is paragraph A mainly about?
A. The introduction to the leading roles B. The writer’s opinion of acting

C
One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop us-
ing the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Bru-
tus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor(叛徒). And he murdered someone in
cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were avail-
able to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—totake the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that
Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to
endeavor,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to ad-
vise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None
more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the
White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are
amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and
their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40
workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for
government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and
using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar , sly provocation(狡诈的挑唆) of
Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building
and grass roots organism.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes, con-
tain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, in-
cludes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do
come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of
power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a mas-
terful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus,
saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt related
Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the after the murder,
they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the
boss?
73. According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?
A. Cruel. B. Superior. C. Honorable. D. Bade

A. help executives to understand Shakespeare’s plays betterB. give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s plays

D. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.

A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.
B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.
C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.
D. To warn executives against power misuse.
76. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A. the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.
B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays.
C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.
D. Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.

Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements
in the fewest possible words.
Youth sport has the potential to accomplish three important objectives in children’s develop-
ment. First, sport programs can provide youth with opportunities to be physically active, which
can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth sport programs have long been considered
important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life
skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth sport programs are
critical for the learning of motor skills; these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national
sport stars and recreational adult sport participants. When coachers develop activities for youth
practices and when sport organizations design youth-sport programs, they must consider the impli-
cation of deliberate play and deliberate practice.Research from Telama (2006) states that regular participation in deliberate play or delib-
erate practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likeli-
hood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Côté
(2002) defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment.
These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from standardized sport rules and are set up
by the children or by an involved adult. Children typically change rules to find a point where their
game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children
may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g. in the street. on
a playing field or in someone’s backyard). When involved in deliberate play activities, children
are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior. (whether they win or
lose) than with the behavior. (having fun).
On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs
through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate prac-
tice activities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are motivated by the goal of im-
proving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved in deliber-
ate play, they experiment with different combinations of behaviors, but not necessarily in the most
effective way to improve performance. In contrast, when individuals are involved in deliberate
practice, they exhibit behavior. focused on improving performance by the most effective means

able, they might be the most relevant to improving performance.

学校即将举办“读书节”,目前正广泛征集“读书节”宣传册图片。假设你是该校学生潘
阳,你已找到以下三幅图片,决定给读书节组委会写一封信,推荐其中一幅,你的信须包
括以下内容:
1. 简单描述你想推荐的那幅图片;
2. 阐述你用这幅图片宣传“读书节”的理由。【参考答案】
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Since the Reading Festival is around the corner, I’m writing to recommend a picture which
can be used in the brochure to remind the students of the pleasure of reading.
In the picture, three students are sitting at the table, discussing heatedly what they have just
read. It seems that they have had a lot of fun through the discussion. Though it is admitted that
reading is mostly a personal activity which needs quietness and concentration, as far as I’m con-
cerned, it can also be a sharing experience when the same book is being appreciated. Just imagine
that you have read a terrific detective story with fascinating and intricate plots. You are so amazed
by the genius of the writer and you can’t help sharing it with your classmates or best friends, who
turn out to have been deeply impressed as well. The moment you mention the book, the passion
and enthusiasm about the story will explode which can never be gained on your own. My ideal at-
mosphere of reading is just like that, through which you can not only appreciate the content by
yourself, but also have the pleasure of sharing the plots or opinions with your peers, which will ul-
timately enhance your understanding of the book. To sum up, the reason of my recommendation is
quite simple and apparent that reading, instead of being dull and isolating, can be full of participa-tion and common interest. I sincerely hope that you will take my suggestion into consideration
and I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Pan Yang
