W: Awash!

M: But I haven’t touched you yet. What are you shouting for?

W: You are going to touch me.

M: Well, of course I am. How can I give you an injection without touch ing you? As soon as you’ve had the injection, you won’t feel a thing.

W: How do I know what you will do while I am asleep? You might rob me.

M: Now, let’s not be so silly. You won’t even go to sleep. We don’t do that nowadays. This will just freeze the area around the tooth so that you can not feel any pain while I am pulling out the tooth. That is all. You won’t go to sleep. You can watch everything in that mirror above you. Come along now.

听第7段材料，回答第8～9题。

W: Hi, Clint. I’m sorry to bother you at suppertime.

M: Oh, Judy, it’s totally fine. We just finished eating. Won’t you come in?

W: I can’t. Our little girl Emily has come down with a high fever.

M: I’m sorry. Is it serious?

W: I’m not sure yet. We’re taking her to the hospital in a little while.

M: Is there anything I can help with?

W: Yes. That’s why I’m here. Would you mind keeping an eye on my son while we’re at the hospital with Emily? We can’t take him along.

M: We’d be happy to. Mary can go over to your place and stay with him while I finis h up the dishes for her.

W: We really appreciate your helping us out like this.Sorry for the trouble.

M: Not at all. Isn’t that what neighbors are for?

听第8段材料,回答第10～12题。

M: Hey, it’s been a while.

W: Yes, I’ve been busy taking care of the kids, and then we went to Canada last month for two weeks. We just got back four days ago. Oh, I already ordered some tea. Did you want something? M: I’ll ask the waitress for a coffee in a minute. Anyway, I’ve been busy at the office myself. We had a big deadline that we worked on for three weeks. We just gave the boss our proposal two days ago. It was quite stressful.

W: Architects always work so much, and for so little pay. It’s crazy. When we were working together at Rob’s office, I didn’t mind it because I found the job rewarding. But now that I’ve had kids, it doesn’t seem healthy to me.

M: Well, it’s true. I don’t get much exercise, and my diet isn’t great. Takeaway meals aren’t as good as food that I cook myself and sometimes I don’t get off work until 10:00 in the e vening.

W: You do look a bit run down. You should at least get outside during your lunch break to stretch your legs.

M: I’d like to, but I’m usually busy. But I do ride my bike to work…

听第9段材料，回答第13～16题。

W: Can I help you, sir?

M: Sure. I’m actually here t o buy a present for my wife. She loves this store. The problem is that I don’t really know where to start .I’ve never been here before.

W: Don’t worry, sir. I’m at your service. What is the occasion? Is it her birthday, your anniversary…

M: It’s for Valentine’s Day.

W: All right. We have a lovely selection of diamond necklaces that I think would be perfect.

M: That sounds good. She already has a lot of rings and earrings, anyway. Oh ,this one is really beautiful.

W: Ah, that design is one of a kind, sir. Yo u won’t find it anywhere else, and the large diamond in the middle will certainly make her feel like a queen.

M: How much is it?

W: I can give you a 10% discount, so your price will be $9000.

M: Goodness! I was hoping to spend less than $1000.

W: OK, no problem, sir. Let’s see what we have… how about this gold necklace? It is less fancy, but it definitely says “I love you” .

M: It looks perfect. How much is it?

W: $800.

M: Is there a 10% discount on that, too?

W: This is the final price. We can only offer a discount on purchases over $2000.

M: OK. Here is my credit card.

Dear Borg Fence,

I have been trying to get in touch with you for weeks about my gate. You fixed it on September 29,but no one has called me back.

I was not able to be at home while the workers finished fixing the gate that day. Well, I came back to find that the gate had not been fixed properly. The problem is very simple: the nails are not nailed in properly, so every piece of wood is slowly coming apart. I know that this job was very small, but even small jobs should be done properly. Even though your workers had to complete another bigger job nearby, they should still have paid attention to my fence. I already paid for the work, and I feel like you took advantage of me. between my house at 1701 Coventry Lane and my mother’s house at 52 Ascott Circle, my family has given our company thousands of dollars in the past several months, and we deserve to be treated with more respect than this.

I hope this can be resolved as soon as possible. Please call me at 745-898-8222 to let me know when I can expect someone to come out here to make this right. Of course, I would prefer to handle this quietly, but if you do not respond to this letter, I will be forced to take my case to the Better Business Organization and make a formal complaint.

第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

In Europe, there are countless cities which are worth visiting, among which Prague and Vienna are both wonderful and exciting cities with a stunning modern atmosphere and ancient history and culture. If you’ve got a European vacation planned, but your limited time or budget can only allow you to explore one of these amazing cities, it may not be an easy decision to make,

since each of them may own some unique or outstanding features.

Sightseeing

While both cities are rich in sightseeing adventures, Prague is definitely more beautiful as a

city. You can walk along the Danube River for breathtaking views, sit in one of the many cafes that dot the urban landscape, and breathe in the amazing architecture both old and modern that makes up this Central European metropolis (都市). Vienna is a hotbed of history, home to such great sites such as the Hofburg, Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral.

Shopping

You most likely don’t travel all the way to Europe just to go shopping. But , if you happen to

be a shopaholic, Vienna is definitely a better choice. But be warned: fine goods you buy in Vienna will sometimes be three times more expensive than what they are in the United States or Canada.

Cuisine

When it comes to great dining, both cities are equally fascinating. Austrians are known for

their love of sweets and snacks, which is reflected in many bakeries, cafés, and restaurants scattered around Vienna. Some restaurants in either city offer local cuisine, though you’re more likely to be eating a combination of Western European or even Americanized food. Bear in mind that Prague (being that it is in Central Europe) will be far less pricey than Vienna.

Culture

What do you hope to see on your trip? Palaces? Medieval Cathedrals? The Opera? How

about museums? If you do happen to visit both cities, you’ll find that culture equally as enriching. However, Vienna has more world-class museums which display the rich history of the area.

21. Which word can best describe Vienna about sightseeing?

A. Diverse.

B. Historic.

C. Modern.

D. Romantic.

22. Which of the following statement is true according to the text?

A. Prague has more appealing tourist attractions than Vienna.

B. Vienna is a paradise for shopping due to the cheap goods there.

C. The food can cost more in Vienna compared with that in Prague.

D. Prague is home to many world-known museums and cathedrals.

23. How does the author organize the passage?

A. By comparison.

B. By listing examples.

C. By providing figures.

D. By asking questions.

21-23 BCA

23. A. 篇章结构题。根据第一段最后一句和每个小标题可知，本文就是从四个方面比较这两个城市。

B

According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.

To test the effect of social influence on eating habits, the researchers conducted two

experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly (表面上) participate in a study about movie viewership. Before the film began, each woman was asked to help herself to a snack. An actor hired by the researchers grabbed her food first. In her natural state, the actor weighed 105 pounds. But in half the cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.

Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food. The participants followed suit, taking more food than they normally would have. However, they took, significantly more when the actor was thin.

For the second test, in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls. In the other case, she took 30 pieces. The results were similar to the first test: the participants followed suit but took significantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.

The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when we’re making decisions. If this fellow participant is going to eat more, so will I. Call it the “ I’l l have what she’s having” effect. However, we’ll adjust the influence. If an overweight person is having a large portion, I’ll hold back a bit because I see the results of his eating habits. But if a thin person eats a lot, I’ll follow suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can’t I?

24. What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Big eaters.

B. Tall thin persons.

C. Overweight persons.

D. Picky eaters.

25.Why did the researchers hire the actor?

A.To see how she would affect the participants.

B. To test if the participants could recognize her.

C. To study why she could keep her weight down.

D. To find out what she would do in the two tests.

26. On what basis do we “adjust the influence” accor ding to the last paragraph?

A.How hungry we are.

B. How we feel about the food.

C. How slim we want to be.

D. How we observe others.

27. What is the recent study mainly about?

A. Food safety.

B. Movie viewership.

C. Eating behavior.

D. Consumer demand.

24-27 BADC

24.B 考查词义猜测。根据第一段第二句"And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份),it's the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid"可知,研究表明,与现存的研究发现(应该避免和食量大的胖人一起吃饭)相反,你真

正需要避开的是胃口大的又高又瘦的人。根据"contrary to"可知,画线词与heavier people含义相反。

25. A考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"To test the effect of social influence on eating habits,the researchers conducted two experiments"可知,为了验证社交对饮食习惯的影响,研究人员进行了两个实验;再结合下

文介绍的两个实验可知,聘用演员参加实验旨在查看演员对参加实验的人的饮食习惯的影响。

26. D 考查推理判断。根据尾段中的"If this fellow participant is going to eat more,so will I... because I see the results of his eating habits,"可知,如果这个同伴打算吃得更多,我也会吃得更多;但是,我们将调整影响。如果

一个超重的人吃了很多,我会稍微保留一点,因为我看到了他饮食习惯的结果。据此可以推知,我们对自己饮食的调整是以分析他人的饮食习惯和结果(即如何看待他人)为基础

的。

27.C考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章第一段为全文的主题段,即《消费者研究杂志》最近的一项研究表明,我们的饮食同伴的体型和饮食习惯都会影响我们的食物摄入量,而且要避免同食量大的瘦人一起进食。结合全文内容可知本文主要介绍了饮食行为。

C

The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daug hter, I couldn’t wait to get her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the hopelessness and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.

As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child’s language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her, I felt like we both needed to be rescued.

I returned that afternoon as disenchanted as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.

“You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were sup ported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!”

He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.

As she ran toward me, I recognize d something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance. I saw her strength. I saw a hero.

Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways, showing courage, kindness, love and selflessness. We encourage you to click these brief accounts and invite you to share your own story.

28. Why did the author rush her daughter to school that morning?

A. She was in bad mood since they had a fight last night.

B. She was too tired from her own work and desired for a good rest.

C. She couldn’t control her anger because her daughter didn’t behave well.

D. She broke down because she was exhausted caring for her daughter last nigh

29. What does the underlined word “disenchanted” mean in Paragraph3?

A. hopeless

B. relieved

C. satisfied

D. worried

30. Why did the author feel so proud of her daughter?

A. Because she began to communicate with others normally.

B. Because she was so determined and ambitious to be a good climber.

C. Because she overcame the difficulty and managed to do what she wanted.

D. Because she was the only student succeeding in standing on Mount Everest.

31.Where can the text most probably appear?

A. In a radio program

B. On the Internet

C. In a newspaper

D. On a magazine

28-31 DACB

本文先是讲述了一位母亲和女儿之间的故事，然后邀请更多的网友来分享关自己在日常生活中战胜困难，找到自己发光点的故事。

“...after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter”可知，前一天晚上她照顾

女儿的时候并不愉快，所以第二天早上情绪不好，很想快点送女儿去上学。

29. A.词义推测题。由这句“as...as when I left”可知，她下午接女儿时的心情跟早上送女儿

到学校时的情绪一样不好。第二段第一句“desperate”一词，也说明了作者当时的心情。30. C.推理判断题。由第四段可知，女儿之前每天在学校都试着爬操场的木墙，今天她做到了。

31. B.推理判断题。从文章最后一句中“click these brief accounts”可知，这篇文章应该是来自网络。

D

Robots are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines or rescuing people in disasters. They are also finding application as household helps and as nursing assistants. As the number of machines increases, which are equipped with the latest artificial intelligence and take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent.

A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at Ludwig-Maximilians- Universitat (LMU), have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave toward them based on moral principles.

According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question: "Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives?" The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假设的) moral dilemma:Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? The intended victim presented in the situations was either a humanoid robot that had been humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine.

The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans.

"This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot," says Paulus. "One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us."

32.What has become a concern about robots?

A. How to treat them in life.

B. How to humanize them.

C. How to use them effectively.

D. How to find more applications.

33. In the study the participants probably have to decide _______.

A. where to experience risks.

B. when to sacrifice a robot.

C. which robot to work with.

D. what robots should be like.

34. What can be inferred from Paulus' words?

A. Humanized robots offer less help to people.

B. Certain moral status should be attached to robots.

C. Humanizing robots too much may be improper.

D. Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.

35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Robots, a Must for Future

B. Robots Saved, People Take the Hit

C. Humanized Robots, a New Trend

D. Humanized Robots Replace Human

32-35 ABCB

32.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段As the number of machines increases, which are equipped with the latest artificial intelligence and take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent.可知,随着越来越多的机器装备了最新的人工智能,承担着越来越多的专业和日常任务,人们如何看待它们以及如何对待它们的问题变得越来越紧迫。故选A。

33.B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question: "Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives?" 可知,在这项研究中,参与者要决定何时牺牲机器人。故选B。

34.C 推理判断题,根据文章最后一段"This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot," says Paulus. "One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us."可知,Paulus认为让机器人人性化的尝试不应该走得太远,由此可以推断出,Paulus认为过

多地人性化机器人可能是不合适的。故选C.

35.B 主旨要义题。根据文章第四段中的The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it.及全文内容可知,文章主要叙述了随着越来越多的机器人具有人性化,参与者就越可能不会牺牲机器人。因此标题“机器人被拯救,人类就会承受打击”最切题,故选B。

There is no such thing as a “bad memory”, and everyone can improve their memory, as long as you are not suffering from memory loss as medical condition.36 .

Stop thinking that you have a “bad-memory”. Convince yourself that you do a good memory that will improve. Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves their memory is bad, that they are just no good with names and that numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason.

37 .

Use association（联想）to remember facts. 38 . For example, if you have a hard time remembering that JFK was the president involved in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, just picture the handsome president swimming in an ocean surrounded by happy, oinking pigs.

Involve multiple senses. You can stimulate (刺激) more parts of your brain by using as many senses as possible when memorizing information. 39 . For example, the process of writing information by hand stimulates your brain and makes it easier to remember the information later.

40 . By developing new mental skills —especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument — and challenging your brain with puzzles and games, you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological function.

A. Give yourself some time to form a memory.

B. When a larger part of your brain is active, your ability to arouse your memory will increase.

C. You can create an image in your mind to help you remember a word or an image.

D .Erase those thoughts and promise to improve your memory.

E. This concrete image in your mind will help you link the president with this event.

F. Exercise your brain as often as possible.

G. If you want to improve your memory, there are a number of things you can do.

I can well remember that I 61 (ask) to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how 62 (awful) shy I was with so many eyes 63 (fix) upon me. I had no 64 (choose) but to prepare for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, which was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer.But 65 hardest part lay in my oral presentation from my memory, for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began 66 I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently 67 any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found 68 ( I ) back, delivering my speech with difficulty. After what seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience 69 (applaud) — I made it ! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my confidence building up, I now turn out 70 (be)a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way to success is our fear. Overcome it and we will be able to achieve our goals.

【答案】

61.was asked 62. awfully 63. fixed 64. choice 65. the

66. when 67. without 68. myself 69. applauding 70. to be

62.awfully.考查副词.修饰形容词shy, 用副词awfully.

63.fixed.考查非谓语动词.在with 的复合结构里,和名词so many eyes

构成被动关系,用过去分词fixed.

64. choice.考查固定短语.表示"别无选择",用固定短语have no choice but to

do ,所以答案是名词choice.

65. the 考查冠词形容词最高级前用定冠词，the hardest part

66. when.考查时间状语从句.引导I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my

mind blank,表示"当…的时候".

67. without考查介词，根据句意可知“听众在耐心地等待，没有催促的迹象。”

68. myself 考查代词，“I found myself back”我找回自我。

第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）

第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。

删除：把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉。

修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；

2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。

Of all the recreations we enjoy, a morning walk might be the most rewarding. In city like Chengdu and Hangzhou which people have to face heavy traffic, it’s only in the morning when the roads are not crowded. There is hardly any traffic or one can enjoy the walk. In the morning nature wa s at its best. Having a look at leaves of trees and you’ll find pearls of dew (露水) on it. Flowers wave their heads gentle and spread their pleasant smell. A walk in a big park or on the bank of a stream is even more better refreshing. A 20-minute walk every day gets people look five years younger.

【答案】

1.city→cities

2. which→where

3.when→that

4.or→and

5. was→is

6.Having→Have

7.it →them

8. gentle →gently

9.去better 10. look前加to

【解析】

第一处city

→c ities。。名词单复数错误。根据后面举的两个例子可知，故用city的复数形式。第二处:which

→where。考查定语从句的引导词。根据句意从句中缺地点状语,故改which为where

。

第三处:when→that. 考强调句型。只有在晨间路上没有拥堵。

第四处:or→and 晨间路上几乎没有行驶的车辆，人们可以享受散步。根据句意可知。

第五处:was→is

时态错误。下文内容可知，本文描述是现在的客观情况，故用一般现在时。

第六处:Having→Have。动词错误。根据语境可知，此处是"祈使句+

and+陈述句"句型，故用动词原形。

第七处:it →them。代词错误。此处代词指代前面的leaves,故用them。

第八处:gentle →gently。词性错误。此处应该用副词gently修饰wave。

第九处:去better. more修饰refreshing，better多余。

第十处:加to. get sb.to look的结构。
