21．（6分）Have you ever caught yourself saying, "I hate small talk!" the minute you walk into a party? If so, you might be an introvert (内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about "small" subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there's a group around.If you're talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either they'll seem to get bored and not say much or they'll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. It’s just that they don't like small talk. Here's why.Small talk serves as a gateway toward deep er conversation. Some introverts don’t realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You don't need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, they’ll mull over different thoughts.Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to step back. As a result, they’ll be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening "lightly" so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on.Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they’re so quiet.1、How do introverts respond to a chat?A．They try to avoid it.B．They get excited about it.C．They give it their full attention.D．They focus on unimportant topics.2、What do we know about small talk?A．It goes slowly.B．It costs people a lot of time.C．It contributes to deeper topics.D．It makes no sense.3、What does the underlined phrase "mull over" in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Give up. B．Think over.C．Write down. D．Forget about.4、How can we become a good talker in small conversations?A．Figure out the deep meaning of questions.B．Think twice before answering questions.C．Try to find shared topics.D．Be a quiet listener.22．（8分）British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity fallsseriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off withwork-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves.” she says.1、We can learn from the passage that ________.A．British people are the least productive in the worldB．Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day weekC．PR company has witnessed a rise in employ ees’ happinessD．British people work longer and get more payment than other countries2、Which is the proper description of British working practices?A．The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.B．In terms of productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States.C．Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.D．Automation and AI are likely to cause an instable work market.3、Which can be inferred from O’Grady’ s words in the last paragraph?A．It’s time for employers to share the i ncreased profits created by automation. B．Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours. C．New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.D．Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.4、What is the au thor’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To introduce some British firms’ switch to a four-day working week.B．To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.C．To appeal for more reasonable working conditions.D．To present the current productivity problem in Britain.23．（8分）When Zbynek Frolik needed new employees to handle increasing orders at his factories in central Bohemia, he sent out advertisements across the Czech Republic. But in a prosperous economy where nearly everyone had work, there were few takers. Raising wages didn’t help. Nor did offers to subsidize(补贴) housing. So he turned to the robots.“We can’t find enough humans,” said Mr. Frolik, whose company, Linet, makes hospital beds sold in over 100 countries. “So we’re trying to replace people with machines wherever we can.”Such talk usually makes people think of a future where employees are no longer needed. In many major economies, companies are experimenting with replacing factory workers, truck drivers and even lawyers with artificial intelligence.But in Eastern Europe, robots are being enlisted as the solution for a shortage of workers. Often they are helping to create new types of jobs as businesses in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland try to stay competitive. Economic growth in these countries has averaged 5 percent in recent years, affected by the global recovery. A booming economy has reduced the jobless rate to just 2.4 percent, the lowest in the European Union.The lack of manpower, however, has limited the ability of Czech companies to expand. Nearly a third of them have started to turn away orders, according to the Czech Confederation of Industry, a trade group.“It’s becoming a brake on growth,” said Jaroslav Hanak, the organization’s presiden t. “If businesses don’t increase robotization and artificial intelligence, they’ll disappear.”Some factories in Eastern Europe are already on the way. At Elko EP, which makes industrial timers for companies like General Electric, 70 percent of production is automated, and the company is aiming to be almost fully robotized in a few years. In a corner of the factory, robots have taken over routine manufacturing(制造业) tasks. Jiri Konecny, the company’s CEO, moved factory floor workers to more complex roles, and focused hundreds of other employees on r esearch and development. “If we hadn’t invested early in automation, we’d be dead by now,” he said.1、What is the problem that Czech Republic is facing?A．It’s hard to find human workers.B．It’s population is decreasing greatly.C．Robots are now welcome at factory work.D．Employees do not want to do factory work.2、Which of the following may have contributed to the problem in Eastern Europe according to Paragraph 4?A．Tough competition. B．Advanced technology.C．A low birth rate. D．A fast-growing economy.3、How might Jaroslav Hanak feel about the future of Czech companies?A．Puzzled B．Worried.C．Surprised D．Hopeful.4、What should companies do to survive?A．Change their policies.B．Turn to other countries for help.C．Employ qualified human workers.D．Spend more money on automation.24．（8分）American actress Marisa Tomei won an Academy Award for her work in the 1992 movie My Cousin Vinny. People laughed when they saw her film character telling a boyfriend that they need to get married. Why marriage? Because her biological clock is ticking and she wants a baby.“Well I hate to bring it up because I know you got enough pressure on you already. But…we agreed to get married as soon as you won your first case(law case). Meanwhile, ten years later…my niece…the daught er of my sister is getting married. My biological clock is ticking like this (stomp, stomp, stomp). And the way this case is going…I ain’t never getting married.”“Lisa, I don’t need this. I swear to God I don’t need this right now.”Using it this way, a b iological clock means the time in a woman’s life when she is able to bear children. In the not-so-distant past, most people thought that when a woman reached her 40s it was too late for her to have children. The time on her biological clock had run out.Well, that has changed. These days some women are resetting their biological clocks. They are giving themselves more time to have children.Make no mistake. Being a “Single Mother by Choice” is very different fromyounger women who find themselves pregnant, perhaps not by choice.Generally speaking, single mothers by choice are older and well educated. They are usually financially secure and successful in their careers. So, they have the money. What they may not have is a partner.This is the place in life where writer Kerry Reichs found herself several years ago. She says she did not plan to become a single mother. She says she just did not find the right partner.“Well, I think I had a set of standards for the partner I was looking for and I didn’t meet anyone that fit those standards. And, at 39 I found myself single, without children and I wanted them very much. So, I made the difficult decision that I could do this on my own.1、According to the passage, what is a biological clock?A．It’s a clock made of bi ological matters.B．It refers to a women’s certain life period.C．It records when women need to bear children.D．It refers to a woman in her 40s.2、According to the passage, in the past, when a woman reached her 40s, ________. A．she can’t get married.B．she might not be able to have children. C．her biological clock will need to be reset. D．her status of being a single mother is difficult.3、What does “Single Mother by Choice” mean?A．It means single mothers have a choice.B．It means single mothers are pregnant by chance.C．It means single women in their late 30s or early 40s decided to have children.D．It means women want to make a choice.4、What would be the best title for the passage?A．Choosing to be a single mother. B．A woman’s biological clock. C．Getting married by force. D．Single women wanting marriage.25．（10分）I’m part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. That’s why I’m no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, I’m not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs.A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldn’t imagine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time.It’s sad, isn’t it? I can’t understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I don’t have leftovers with me, I’ll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them.I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!1、The author uses what Dr. Goodall says to show__________.A．how we can develop our businessB．why it is important to be greatC．why the program is popular globallyD．how we can change the world positively2、What can be concluded from the text?A．There are few homeless dogs where the author livesB．The author takes homeless dogs home and raises themC．Seeing homeless dogs makes the author never waste foodD．People throw food into garbage bins to feed homeless dogs3、The author took the leftover fish with him to____________.A．feed a homeless dog he metB．eat it when he was hungryC．look for more homeless animalsD．set an example to those who throw away food4、The author wrote the text to ask us to__________.A．value our food B．treat dogs as our friendsC．save wasted food for homeless dogs D．raise homeless dogs and cats第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）Two years ago，I donated my kidney(肾)to my brother.I considered it a complete life-changing experience，not only for the two of us 1 for the entire family.We ended up 2 from surgery(外科手术)at a friend's home in Baton Rouge，LA．His 3 to us was unforgettable.We had received so many4 .We had gotten food donation from so many people who5 us something beyond physical comfort.Now my brother is back on his feet and is living life 6 st April，he 7 to give back to the community(社区)by 8 money for the Medical Association through cycling 180 miles from Houston to Austin.I felt greatly moved，tears in eyes，9 that my kidney gave him a second chance in life and that he is now living beyond what he imagined 10 to be.Recently，our mother suffered from breast cancer. 11 she was the one who took care of me and my brother，we wanted to do something in her 12 .My brother，my sister and I are going to13 next year for the Cancer Society，14 my brother and I will be joining in the half marathon in honour of our mother and this will be our good chance to be kidney donation 15 as well.We 16 during our surgery that several thousand people die from kidney disease every year.Patients would be on the 17 list for kidney donation and many of them end up in death because of the 18 of kidney donors.If my brother and I can 19 others to do the same thing I did，maybe more lives will be saved.20 only I had more kidneys，I would do it again for other people.1、A．and B．but C．so D．or2、A．rebuilding B．reusing C．recovering D．reserving3、A．kindness B．courage C．power D．manners4、A．friends B．people C．patients D．doctors5、A．devoted B．contributed C．delivered D．gave6、A．against B．under C．beyond D．for7、A．decided B．urged C．demanded D．insisted8、A．earning B．lending C．donating D．raising9、A．knowing B．expecting C．hoping D．reporting10、A．future B．life C．success D．luck11、A．If B．Though C．Because D．Before12、A．place B．job C．health D．honour13、A．run B．study C．cheer D．fight14、A．as B．when C．while D．however15、A．sellers B．collectors C．volunteers D．advocates16、A．figured out B．found out C．learned from D．looked into17、A．working B．waiting C．sending D．growing18、A．delay B．common C．lack D．help19、A．encourage B．support C．order D．affect20、A．But B．Not C．Just D．If第二节（每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
