M：OK，but I’m afraid you won’t be able to collect it until next Friday.We’ve been very
busy recently.
Text 3
W：What a journey! Air travel is more tiring than driving，I’m sure.
M：I don’t think you’d say that，if you’ve just driven 400 miles.Let’s come to Seattle by
train next time.It’ll be more relaxing.
Text 4
M：Could I have fried rice or noodles for dinner for a change？I don’t feel like steak today.
W：I’m in a hurry.I can’t cook two different meals today.Tomorrow you can have what youwant.
M: All right.

M：Linda，you work on plays and shows but you are not on stage.What do you do?
W：I’m a costume designer.I help the actors become their characters.
M：Is it a kind of，like，playing dress-up?
W：A little bit.But I need to study the play to create the characters’ clothes，not just use my
imagination.
M：How do you do that?
W：I read the play and do research about the time and place of the story.If the story is set in the
past，I might study old magazines or paintings.For plays set in now，I sometimes collect pictures
of people on the street.
M：Then what do you do?
W：I take my ideas and pictures to the director of the show.We talk about whether I’m on theright track.If it’s good，we will hire a tailor to make the costume.

W：Well，if you don’t understand what the artist is trying to communicate，it can seem a little
like that.
M：What did you see then?
W：There were two paintings that impressed me most.The first is a huge one which I supposed the
tree although it could have been anything.
M：What did you like about it?
W：Just the way the tree looked.It was like the tree was made of hard metal，and the mix of white
and gray made everything look like it was winter，freezing winter.
M：That’s something.What about the other one?
W：The second looked like a piece of grassland.All the grass was purple and red，and there was
green sky in the background.I looked at it and thought of summer.
M：Hmm，your description really teaches me something about appreciating abstract art.Maybe I
should go and give this show a try this Saturday.
W：You really should.
Text 10
M：You are watching the morning news.This is Steven Johnson.Sydney and the New South Wales
coast have been hit by heavy rains.Major roads，the airport，trains and buses were all thrown

rush.All traffic into city remains very heavy.Pittwater Road is closed due to a car crash.Consider
using Wicks Road instead.A police officer has been hurt assisting drivers in North Ryde.A woman
is believed to have broken her leg after a tree fell on her car.The roof of Town Hall Station has
fallen in，causing delays for passengers.The rain is expected to be at its heaviest from 9：00 am

When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call—not
to shelter from the rain.Ages ago，right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose
was...2006.I was conducting auditions( 试 演 ) for my play in my tiny old shared house in
London.Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing，I spread
some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it_seem a bit more “young professional”．
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets ， the door swung shut behind
me.Suddenly I was locked outside.My mobile phone was inside，but luckily there was a telephone
box across the street.So，I called Directory Assistance，got put through to our landlady’s
managing agent，and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the
actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one，I should hardly be surprised that there are no
longer any public telephones near my house.The last one standing has just been turned into a
“mini community library”：any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves and return it
later，or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened，I didn’t bother taking a look，as I had
assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheesy love stories.Then I noticed folk conducting spring
cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there.And these books were
free.This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would
never normally consider buying.And I’ve discovered some great books!If I ever get trapped outside my house again，my local telephone box will，sadly no longer
be able to connect me with my keys.But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my
wife to rescue me.

On September 7,1991，the costliest hailstorm(雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s
southern suburbs.As a result，since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2
million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.Airplanes seed threatening storm cells
with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous
hailstones.But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that
precious moisture(水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand，who farms in that area，has been addressing public meetings on this
issue for years.“Basically，the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect
the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail，” Mr Stienwand says，“but they’re increasing
drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss，a cloud physicist who works for
Weather Modification Inc.of Fargo，North Dakota.“We affect only a very small percentage of the
total moisture in the air，so we cannot be causing drought，” Dr.Krauss says.“In fact，we may
be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell，a research scientist who just
retired from the University of Oklahoma.“In 1999，I personally saw significant tornadoes(龙卷
风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas，” Dr.Doswell says.“Does cloud seeding create
killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows，of course，but the seeding
goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt，Mr Stienwand suggests，“it would be wise to stop cloud
seeding.” In practice，doubt has had the opposite effect.Due to the lack of scientific proof
concerning their impacts，no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding
companies.Hence，private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。1991年9月7日，加拿大历史上造成损失最大的雹暴袭击了卡
尔加里的南郊。因此，自1996年以来，一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费
约200万美元。文章介绍了农民们和科学家们对人工降雨的不同看法。

DThe Stanford marshmallow(棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter
Mischel in the late 1960s.Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room.A
single sugary treat，selected by the child，was placed on a table.Each child was told if they waited
for 15 minutes before eating the treat，they would be given a second treat.Then they were left
alone in the room.Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an
ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day.We’re not tempted(诱惑) by
sugary treats，but by our computers，phones，and tablets—all the devices that connect us to the
global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to
preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world，and our
brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value—a feeling of
reward and satisfaction.But as we’ve reshaped the world around us，dramatically reducing the
cost and effort involved in obtaining calories，we still have the same brains we had thousands of
years ago，and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods
that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information.Our formative environment as a
species was information-poor ， so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new
information.But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment.We are now
ceaselessly bombarded(轰炸) with new information.Therefore，just as we need to be more
thoughtful about our caloric consumption ， we also need to be more thoughtful about our
information consumption，resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to
manage our time most effectively.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对棉花糖测试，信息
轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”，文章对此进行了介绍。
32．What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?
A．Take an examination alone.
B．Show respect for the researchers.
C．Share their treats with others.
D．Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第四句“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes
before eating the treat，they would be given a second treat.”可知，在米歇尔的测试中，孩子们
需要在吃之前等待15分钟才能得到第二次奖励。故选D。
33．According to paragraph 3，there is a mismatch between ________.
A．the calorie-poor world and our good appetitesB．the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C．the rich food supply and our unchanged brains
D．the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us...we
still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago，and this mismatch is at the heart of...”
可知，丰富的食物供应和我们不曾改变的大脑之间存在不匹配。故选C。
34．What does the author suggest readers do?
A．Absorb new information readily.
B．Be selective information consumers.
C．Use diverse information sources.
D．Protect the information environment.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“we also need to be more thoughtful about
our information consumption...to manage our time most effectively”可知，作者建议读者做有选
择性的信息消费者。故选B。
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Eat Less，Read More
B．The Bitter Truth About Early Humans
C．The Later，the Better
D．The Marshmallow Test for Grownups
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。根据第二段及全文内容可知，文章主要是讲在信息化时代我们作为成年
人每天都在面对棉花糖测试，信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”。故选D。

项。
In the past few years，online learning has become a significant part of the university and
college experience. 36 But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that
digital learning is right for you？ 3 7
We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses.The most
obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 38 “I think
a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule，” says
graduate student Amanda Bindman.Before choosing to study online，consider whether you’re a
self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going.
The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule，just like what you would do with in person courses. 39 He noted that his online students
usually end up with lower grades.It is so easy to let an online course slide，but your grades will
suffer as a result.Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures ，read materials and
contribute to online discussion boards.
40 A social connection is often a big part of learning.There are things you can do to ease
this problem.Jessica Pink，an undergraduate student，suggests taking online courses with a
friend，so you can motivate each other to stay on track.You can also find students on the class
discussion board to organize a study group，or schedule in-person meetings with your professor to
discuss course concepts.
A．But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines.
B．Your motivation should be your main concern.
C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education?
D．Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online.
E．The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction.
F．If you take an online course，what can you do to ensure the best possible grade?
G．A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses.
36．答案 G
解析 由空前一句可知，在线学习是大学生活中很重要的一部分，本空要说跟“这种现象的
具体表现”有关的话题，故G选项(一项调查发现，29%的大学生注册了在线课程)能承接上
文，符合题意。故选G。
37．答案 F
解析 上文对在线课程提出疑问，本空可以继续提出疑问，故 F选项(如果你参加了在线课
程，你能做些什么来确保尽可能好的成绩？)能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。
38．答案 A
解析 由空前一句可知，在线学习具备的优势是可以让你随时随地学习，本空要说跟“学习
时间”有关的话题，故A选项(但这并不意味着没有最后期限)与上文构成转折关系，that指
代上一句，符合题意。故选A。
39．答案 D
解析 由空后一句可知，本空要说跟“在线课程的老师”有关的话题，故 D选项(Alex
Davidson教授亲自教授和在线教授同样的课程)能引起下文，符合题意。下文中的He指代D
项中的“Professor Alex Davidson”。故选D。
40．答案 E
解析 由最后一段内容可知，本空要说跟“人们之间的互动”有关的话题，故E选项(对在
线课程的主要抱怨是它们缺乏人与人之间的互动)能引起下文，符合题意。E选项中的human interaction与空后的social connection呼应。故选E。

spoke virtually no English，so I happily took the 44 to practice my Chinese.
Over several hours，he would tell me about how he had 45 a two-year professional
school to quickly find a job 46 highways in order to help support his family.Perhaps the most
47 ，however，was the fact that this man spent hours studying every day after hard physical
labor.Without batting an eye，he would 48 a translated Emerson passage before asking about
the literary influence of American 49 as a whole.“And what do you all learn about Russian
authors？” I 50 him asking at one point.
It would have been easy to 51 my assumptions about this highway builder who had never
been more than a few hundred miles from home.But this highly informed ， 52 ，and
admirable person prevented me doing so.In the course of a couple of hours，he 53 me just
how much one can gain from 54 with an open mind，and a willingness to 55 with
locals from all walks of life.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一次在火车上偶遇了一个年轻的中国男子，

第二节 (共10小题； 每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The shelves in most supermarkets are full of family-size this and multi-buy that.However，if
you’re shopping for one，buying extra 56. (benefit) from price reductions doesn’t
make sense.Either your shopping is then too heavy to carry home 57. you can’t
use what you’ve bought while it’s still fresh.
Of course，shops are not charities—they price goods in the way 58. will make
them the most money.If most of their customers are happy to buy larger quantities ，that’s
59.________they’ ll promote.But that leaves the solo( 单 独 ) customers out of pocket and
disappointed.
Many supermarkets are no longer doing “buy one get one free” promotions because of the
60. (criticize) that they lead to waste.Consumers prefer money off individual
items.However，though it’s nice to get a few cents off a pack of sausages，it would help even
more if they could sometimes 61. (offer) in smaller packs.Even the biggest sausage
fan doesn’t want to eat them every day.
If your supermarket sells loose produce，then buying smaller quantities is easier.Over the last
two years，some supermarkets 62. (start) selling chicken or salad in packs
63.________(design) with two halves containing separate portions(份)．Then，when you use one
section,64. other stays fresh.
Who knows，perhaps some of the more forward-looking 65. (one) may yet
come out with a whole range of “just for you” pack sizes with special offers as well.
56．答案 to benefit
解析 考查动词不定式。根据“buying extra”和“from price reductions”可知，此处是指多
买一件来享受降价，所以应用不定式作目的状语。故填to benefit。
57．答案 or
解析 考查固定句式。either...or...意为“要么……要么……”。故填or。
58．答案 that/which
解析 考查定语从句。定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为way，表示“方式，方法”，指物，
所以应填关系代词that或which。
59．答案 what
解析 考查名词性从句。表语从句中缺少宾语，且是指事物，所以应填连接代词what。
60．答案 criticism
解析 考查名词。根据空前冠词the及空后同位语从句“that they lead to waste”可知，此处应填名词criticism“批评”。
61．答案 be offered
解析 考查含有情态动词的被动语态。动词offer意为“提供”，和其逻辑主语构成被动关
系，主语they指代前文中的sausages。在情态动词could后动词应用原形。故填be offered。
62．答案 have started
解析 考查现在完成时和主谓一致。根据时间状语“Over the last two years”可知，此处应
用现在完成时；主语为复数，助动词用have。故填have started。
63．答案 designed
解析 考查过去分词。动词design意为“设计”，在句中作非谓语，和逻辑主语packs构成
被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填designed。
64．答案 the
解析 考查冠词。the other意为“(两个中的)另一个”，为固定搭配。故填the。
65．答案 ones
解析 考查代词。代词one在some of后应用复数形式。故填ones。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eva spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water.One of the major
headaches for her was finding her way in the huge school building.It was a six-story building.On
each floor，hallways stretched in four directions，leading to classrooms，laboratories，and
teachers’ offices.Somewhere in the building，there was also a library，a cafeteria，and a gym.
Having a poor sense of direction，Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge
building.All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about，let alone commit to
memory.She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest
of the place didn’t exist.
In her first PE class，Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run
one mile around the track outside.She searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic.There
was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile.To Eva，“a mile” was used to
describe long distances.It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather’s，and that always
seemed like a long way，even in a car!
When Coach Pitt blew his whistle( 哨 子 ) ， Eva figured she would be left in the
dust.However，while some of her classmates edged ahead，others actually fell behind.“It’s just
the beginning，”she thought.“I’ll come in last for sure.”
Soon Eva began to breathe hard ， with her heart pounding and legs shaking.Feeling
desperate ， Eva started using a mind trick on herself.She stopped thinking about the word
“mile”．Instead，she focused on reaching the shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up
ahead.Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved(拐弯)．After that，she
tried to see if she could complete her first lap.One lap turned into two，then three，then four.
注意： 续写词数应为150个左右。
When Coach Pitt said “Nice work！” to her at the finish line，Eva was surprised.
Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.
参考范文
When Coach Pitt said “Nice work！” to her at the finish line，Eva was surprised.In the
vast expanse of her school，a girl with poor directional skills struggled to navigate and often got
lost.One day，during gym class，she observed a unique way to find her way—following the
shadows of trees.As the sun cast its rays，the girl noticed how the shadows created patterns on the
ground，guiding her path.She took a leap of faith and followed the shadows，surprising herselfwith each turn and stretch.Her efforts were noticed by the teacher，who praised her innovative
thinking.
Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.She used the shadows to
navigate the school hallways ， find her classes ， and even locate the school’ s various
facilities.This new-found skill not only helped the girl navigate her school but also instilled a sense
of confidence and adventure in her.She learned excitedly that with a little creativity and
observation，any challenge could be overcome.And with each step she took，she left behind a
legacy of inspiration for those who followed in her footsteps，knowing that even without a clear
sense of direction，there’s always a way to find one’s way.
