题目内容

14.Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening,I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend's roof-tops.I stopped to watch it for a few moments,thinking about what a pity it was that most citizens,myself included,usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it.He grew up living in a forest in Europe,and the moon meant a lot to him then.It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling.Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends.We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water.Our group had campfires outside every night,and indoors when it was too cold outside.The moon grew to its fullest during our trip.Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys.Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard.It was one of the quietest places I have ever known,a bottomless well of silence.And above me was the full moon,which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass,metal,plastic and fiber-glass.We have televisions,cell phones,papers,electricity,heaters and ovens and air-conditioners,cars,computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day,most of which was spent in doors,I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage.There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains,and perhaps write,but not in anger.I may become an old man there,and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons.But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
25.The writer felt sorry for himself becauseA.
A.he usually failed to see the fullest moon      
B.there was too much pollution
C.he didn't get used to modern inventions 
D.there were too many accidents on the road

D.Complete silence.

A.show that the writer likes city life very much
B.tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C.explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature
D.show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them

2.Harper Lee,whose 1961 novel To Kill a Mockingbird on the racial troubles of the American deep south,has died at the age of 89.
Until last year,Lee had been something of a one-book literary legend.To Kill a Mockingbird sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize,remaining a towering presence in American literature.Another novel,Go Set a Watchman,was controversially published in July 2015 as a"sequel"to Mockingbird,though it was later confirmed to be Mockingbird's first draft.
But from the moment Mockingbird was published to almost instant success,the author consistently avoided public attention.Lee had lived for several years in a nursing home near the house in which she had grown up in Monroeville,Alabama-the setting for Maycomb of her famous book.Her neighbor for 40 years,Sue Sellers,said,"She was such a private person.All she wanted was privacy,but she didn't get much.There was always somebody following her around."
James Naughtie,BBC Books Editor,commented on the novels of Harper Lee:"I think she stands,particularly among American readers,as someone who shone a light into a very dark place.She was writing at a time when people were beginning to lift the lid on everything in the South which they'd chosen not to understand.That all changed in the 1960s.So I think her status for writing that book in its extraordinarily direct way will remain."
24.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?C
A.Lee became successful with stories on American south.
B.People owe Lee's success to luck to some degree.
C.Mockingbird makes Lee a wonder in American literature.
D.Mockingbird was a bestseller by selling 40m copies.
25.What does"Maycomb"in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?C
A.A nursing home.
B.Lee's hometown.
C.A fictional place.
D.A main character.
26.Which best describes Americans'attitude towards racial troubles before the 1960s?B
A.Tolerant.
B.Unconcerned.
C.Sympathetic.
D.Dissatisfied.
27.What can we learn from the text?C
A.Lee based all her stories on her life.
B.Lee had to avoid being followed by her fans.
C.Lee wrote Go Set A Watchman before Mockingbird.
D.Lee lived in the house where she grew up for the whole life.
9.Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo.Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel,the world's first igloo hotel.Built in a small town in Lapland,it has been attracting lots of visitors,but soon the fun will be over.
In two weeks'time Bergqvist's ice creation will be nothing more than a pool of water."We don't see it as a big problem,"he says."We just look forward to replacing it."
Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991for an art exhibition.It was so successful that he designed the present one,which measures roughly 200square meters.Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze,the base was removed."The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,"he says.
After their stay,all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success.With no windows,nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃,it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break."It's great fun,"Bergqvist explains,"as well as a good start in survival training."
The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt:it is now attracting tourists from all over the world.At least 800people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10rooms."You can get a lot of people in,"explains Bergqvist."The beds are three meters wide by two meters long,and can fit at least four at a time."

32.When the writer says"the fun will be over,"in Paragraph 1,he refers to the fact thatC.
A.hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard test
B.holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big igloo
C.Bergqvist's hotel will soon become a pool of water
D.a bigger igloo will replace the present one
33.According to the text,the first thing to do in building an igloo isD.
A.to gather a pool of water        
B.to pile a large amount of snow
C.to cover the ground with ice   
D.to prepare a wooden base
34.Which of the four pictures below is the closest to the igloo hotel as described inthe text?A

35We can infer from the passage thatB.
A.Bergqvist built his first igloo because he was inspired by an art exhibition
B.all visitors can get a survival certificate after the experience
C.the igloo attracts many people because it provides a relaxing hotel break
D.many people around the world are interested in trying something new.
19.Who made your T-shirt?"A Geowetown University student raised that question.Pietra Rivoli,a professor of business,wanted to find the answer.A few weeks later,she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path from Texas cotton form to Chinese factory to charity bin (箱).The result is an interesting new book,The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy.
Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting,but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade.She goes wherever the T-shirt goes,and there are surprises around every corner.In China,Rivoli shows why a clothing factory,even with its poor conditions,means a step toward a better life for the people who work there.In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania,she realizes this,"it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market,"where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color.Rivoli's book is full of memerable people and scenes,like the noise,the bad air and the"muddy-sweet smell of the cotton."She says,"Here in the factory,Shanghai smells like Shallowater Texas."
Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections.She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization.The chances opened up by trade are vast,she argues,but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check.True economic progress needs them both.

28.What do we learn about Professor Rivoli?B
A.She used to work on a cotton farm.
B.She wrote a book about world trade.
C.She wants to give up her teaching job.
D.She wears a T-shirt wherever she goes.

6.It's rare that you see the words"shyness"and"leader"in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy-they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few"innies".
Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically(内在地) motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.
Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened?Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence:they"own"the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image.
Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections,knowledge gaps and limitations.
Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein,who once said,"It's not that I'm so smart,it's that I stay with problems longer."Obviously,finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.
24.We can learn from Paragraph 2 thatB.
A.shy people are sensitive to rewards
B.shy people care more about content
C.outgoing people are more careful about chances
D.outgoing people consider what to learn while listening
25.The example of Johnny showsD.
A.shy people are likely to be modest
B.hardworking students speak little in public
C.some students keep silent on purpose at school
D.shy people may have an advantage in discussion
26.We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 thatA.
A.success results from devotion
B.shyness contributes to popularity
C.outside reward leads to insistence
D.uncertainty counts more than certainty
27.The author supports his ideas mainly byD.
A.giving definitions and presenting research results
B.explaining problems and providing solutions
C.quoting authorities and making evaluations
D.making contrasts and gibing examples.
3.These days,young people in some English-speaking countries are speaking a strange language,especially when communicating on social media.
Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post:"David Bowie dying is totes tradge,"and"When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh."Or this sentence:"BAE,let me know if you stay in tonight."
What on earth do they mean?Well,"totes"is a short form of"totally".Similarly,"tradge"means"tragic"and"emosh"means"emotional".It seems that,for millennials(千禧一代),typing in this form is not only time-saving but fashionable.
As you can see,many millennial slangs(俚语)are formed by so-called"totesing"-the systematic abbreviation(缩写)of words.The trend might have started with"totally"becoming"totes",but it now has spread to many other English words.
The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than"totesing"."Bae",for example,has been widely used by African-Americans for years.It can be an expression of closeness with one's romantic partner or,like"sweetheart",for someone without romantic connection.After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work,"bae"became mainstream.
Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language,but Melbourne University linguist(语言学家)Rosey Billington doesn't agree.She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way,they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently.Two other linguists,Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones,share the same view.The two analysed hundreds of examples of totes-speak and discovered totesing has complex roots.
    It isn't simply an adult version of baby talk,nor a clever way to minimize your word count.Rather,it is a highly organized system that relies on a speaker's mastery of English pronunciation.It is about sounds,follows sound system of English and has strict rules.
28.Why do young people like using e-slangs?B
A.They are time-consuming.
B.They are in fashion.
C.They are complex.
D.They are in order.
29.What's the author's purpose of mentioning"Bae"in Paragraph 5?D
A.To support that totesing is no baby talk.
B.To analyse the usage of millennial slangs.
C.To inform people how it became mainstream.
D.To explain the complex origins of millennial slangs.
30.Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?D
A.Totesing is a loosely organized system.
B.Millennial slangs lower the value of English.
C.It's simply a clever way to reduce the word count.
D.Totes-speak requires a good command of English.
31.What's the best title of the passage?A
A.E-slangs Catch on Among Youth           
B.Linguists Disapprove of Totesing
C.Millennial Slangs Take the Lead         
D.English Has Greatly Changed.
