第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

A

I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged．People were most hospitable（好客的）and friendly.

However， I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US， where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.

I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling，one afternoon， from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat， I was scolded in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat - it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English， and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language， but he， too， realized my genuine mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat， and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England，a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated．

Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor， as I expected， to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to intrude on someone else’s privacy. However， when I travelled across the United States， whether by plane or Greyhound bus， I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They

obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person， whether they were strangers or not.

1．What do we know about the occupants when the author was travelling in Italy?

A．They were all on the side of the gentleman.

B．They all laughed at the author for his mistake.

C．They would not bear a mistake like the author’s in public．

D．They showed their understanding of the autho r’s mistake.

2．How does the author probably believes the Italian people are?

A．Cold B．Rude C．Helpful D．Hospitable 3．Why did English passengers sit in near silence according to the last paragraph?

A．They were too tired to speak.

B．They were all strangers to each other.

C．Privacy was a valued tradition in England．

D．Everybody was deeply lost in thought.

4．What can be the best title for the text?

A．Different Ways of Hospitality and Politeness

B．My Unforgettable Travelling Experience Abroad

C．Co-understanding Each Other

D．The Importance of Privacy

B

The sharing economy，represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber，is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.

Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.

The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms， and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.

But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels， and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of

tax income. But many of Airbnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.

Airbnb c an also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts’ neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don’t form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.

Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations，the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.

The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also，if Uber and related services flood the market，they could harm all taxi drivers’ ability to earn a minimum wage.

This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously，but that doesn’t mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.

5．What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?

A．It is a global trend．B．It is beyond regulations.

C．It draws on spare resources. D．It brings in modest profits.

6．What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?

A．They are not regularly inspected．

B．They are likely to commit thefts.

C．They are allowed not to pay taxes.

D．They can be noisy to hosts’ neighbours.

7．What is the argument over Uber according to the passage？

A．Whether it guarantees customers’ safety.

B．Whether it provides reliable services.

C．Whether it lowers customers’ expenses.

D．Whether it can compete with standard taxis.

8．What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?

A．Existing regulations and laws.

B．Necessary improvements of current laws.

C．Further development of Airbnb and Uber.

D．More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.

Instead of seeking fame，Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time， she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom， American Horror Story， and The Walking Dead．Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer’s art. “Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone w ho’s not living in the real world，” Adele told i-D．“So I live a low-key life for my fans.”

_____16_____ Though it is commonly called snow blindness， the condition can and often does occur in the absence of snow.

The terms "snow-blind" and "snow blindness" have become popular because snow is highly reflective of ultraviolet radiation（紫外线）. _____17_____ Also， skiing， mountain climbing and snowboarding usually take place at relatively high altitudes， where the sun's UV rays are stronger.

Not only can you become snow-blind without snow —it can happen without sunlight，too! _____19_____ For example，Sun lamps can cause temporary "snow" blindness if proper eye protection is not used．

_____20_____ To relieve pain or discomfort from snow blindness，stay indoors and wear sunglasses. Keep your eyes well-moistened（湿润的）with artificial tears. For additional relief，use over-the-counter（非处方药） pain relievers. Be sure to use only pain relievers you know you can take without worry of an allergic reaction. You also may find that placing a cool， dampened（潮湿的） washcloth over your closed eyelids is comforting.

作文例文：

Dear Tom，

Delighted to receive your letter. And I’m writing to tell you something about Chinese high school students’ physic al exercise.

With the increasing pressure from the national college entrance exam， more and more students have to sacrifice the time for sports to prepare for the exam， which is so important for their future development. They only have one P.E. class a week， obviously not enough. Actually， most of the students are eager to take part in sports， but they are so occupied with their study.

In my view， important though it is for them to have a better performance in the exam， health is equally important. Without a strong body，we would achieve nothing in our life. I hope all students can reorganize their timetable and try to build up their body.

Your

s，
