The first parking space I found was convenient, but I'dnoticed a woman in a blue car circling for a while. (25) _____ I was in a good mood, I let her have it. On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot—it was a tight fit.Pretty soon I'd made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air. Feeling good, I (26) _____(empty) my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse park（倒车）.Just as I approached my car, 1 saw the woman I'd let have my car space earlier. She was giving me (27) _____ odd look—half puzzled, half intent (热切的). I smiled and wished her a pleasant day. As I squeezed back into my car, I spotted the same lady (28) _____ (look) in at me. "Hello," she said, hesitantly. "This (29) _____ sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother's things off at the charity bins.” You are just so much (30) _____ her.” You helped those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and passed a box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.” (31) _____ (shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl. It was (32) _____ (nice) gift I'd ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.(B)Ask helpful HannahDear helpful Hannah,I’ve got a pr oblem with my husband, Sam. He bought a smart phone a couple of months ago and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado, it was a great trip except for one problem. He has a constant urge (33) for next messages; he checks his phone every five min utes! He’s so addicted to it that he just can’t stand the idea (34) there may be an important text. He can’t help checking even at inappropriate times like when we are eating in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He behaves (35) any small amount of boredom can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he know he shouldn’t. The temptation to see (36) is connecting him is just too great. When I ask him to put down the phone and stop (37) (ignore) me, he say, “In a minute.” but still checks t o see if (38) has posted something new on the Internet. Our life (39) (interrupted). If we go somewhere and I ask him to have the phone at home, he suffers from withdrawal symptom. May this dependency on his smart phone has become more than aneveryday problem.I recently read an article about “nomophobia,” (40) is a real illness people can’t suffer from the fear of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam maybe suffering from this illness because he feels anxious if he doesn’t have his phone with him, even for a short time.Who would have thought that little devices like these could have brought so much trouble!Sick and Tired SadieSection BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Considering how much time people spend in effects, it is important that with A be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s i mage. They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or 41 , customers. They make business work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture to live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers come up with 42 to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.” These 43 solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.As employee hierarchies （等级制度）have flattened or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been 44 by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not 45 to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by breaking the wallsthat 46 workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places and upgraded employees’47 to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often 48 demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company’s image and will ena ble employees to 49 and their best.All these 50 of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like good marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 in people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with theirpartners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise52. A. romanticB. stressful C. centralD. artificial53.

He can’t help checking even at inappropriate times like when we are eating in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He behaves (35) any small amount of boredom can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he knows he shouldn’t. The temptation to see (36) is connecting him is just too great.

Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers, and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or41 , customers. They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture we live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers have come up with42 to the traditional work environments of the past, The design industry has moved away from a fixed offices setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments”. These43 solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.As employee hierarchies（等级制度）have flattened, or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and crate fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been44 by changes in workstation design. Offices and work spaces often are not45 to a given person on a permanent basis.Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by lowering the walls that46 workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees'47 to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often48 demands, including budgetary limits, employee hierarchies, and technological innovation（especially in relation to computerization）.These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors（内饰）that in some way enhance, establish, or promote a company's image and will enable employees to49 at their best.All these50 of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like a good marriage-the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists.51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 53 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to non-humans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations,people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51．A．Instead B．Therefore C．Moreover D．Otherwise 52．A．romantic B．stressful C．central D．artificial 53．A．priority B．Proof C．possibility D．principle 54．A．seated B．impressed C．changed D．erased 55．A．appearances B．virtues C．similarities D．position 56．A．illustrations B．imaginations C．Ingredients D．instructors 57．A．predict B．investigate C．diagnose D．recall 58．A．critical B．Initial C．Random D．mature 59．A．memorize B．distinguish C．negotiate D．question 60．A．Nose B．Eye C．Heart D．Hand 61．A．Open B．alert C．resistant D．superior 62．A．disappointed B．amazed C．confused D．gifted 63．A．emotion B．attractiveness C．individuality D．signals 64．A．enhance B．Possess C．maintain D．asses 65．A．familiar B．plain C．positive D．Irritating Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyar d.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.66．According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?A．People thought of snow as holy art supplies.B．People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C．Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D．Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought. 67．“The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) mean s the time when.A．snowmen were made mainly by artistsB．snowmen enjoyed great popularityC．snowmen were politically criticizedD．snowmen caused damaging floods68．In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes.A．the start of the paradeB．the coming of a longer summerC．the passing of the winterD．the success of tradesmen69．What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?A．They were appreciated in historyB．They have lost their valueC．They were related to moviesD．They vary in shape and size(B)Scary BunnyThe Curse of the Were-Rabbit(2005) is the first full-lengthfeature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Boxwith their amazing plasticine(粘土) characters Wallace andGromit. It won an Os car in 2006, and if you watch it, you’llunderstand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromithave started a company to protect the town’s vegetablesfrom hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual GiantVegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit beginsterrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables anddestroying everything in its path. The competition organizer,Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch themonster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbitbefore gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who isdesperate to kill it.The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. Asusual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for therole of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life,he can express a huge range of emotions without saying aword. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the partof Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are reallyfunny.To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazingfilm which is suitable for both children and adults. If youliked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and youappreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film.Don’t miss it!70．In the film review, what is paragraph A mainly about?A．The introduction to the leading rolesB．The writer’s opinion of actingC．The writer’s comments on the storyD．The background information71．According to the film review, “monster” (p aragraph B) refers to.A．a gun-crazy hunterB．a brainy dogC．a scary rabbitD．a giant vegetable72．Which of the following is a reason why the writer recommends the film?A．It’s full of wit and humour.B．Its characters show feelings without words.C．It is an adventure film directed by Peter Sallis.D．It is about the harmony between man and animals.(C)One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he sai d. “He was a traitor （叛徒）. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agree ment was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to endeavor,” the executives said, “our poli cy is to obey the chain of command.”During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeare’s”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar , sly provocation（狡诈的挑唆）of Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organism.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes, contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a fewbiases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the boss?73．According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?A．Cruel. B．Superior. C．Honorable. D．Bade 74．According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to.A．help executives to understand Shakespeare’s plays betterB．give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s playsC．provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshopsD．guide govern ment agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays. 75．Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?A．To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.B．To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.C．To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.D．To warn executives against power misuse.76．It can be inferred from the passage that.A．the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.B．executives feel bored wit h too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays.C．the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.D．Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field. 77．The best title for the passage is.A．Shakespear e’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate cultureB．Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business successC．Shakespeare’s plays: a lesson for business motivationD．Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic resultsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Youth sport has the potential to accomplish three important objectives in children’s development. First, sport programs can provid e youth with opportunities to be physically active, which can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth sport programs have long been considered important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth sport programs are critical for the learning of motor skills; these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult sport participants. When coaches develop activities for youth practices and when sport organizations design youth-sport programs, they must consider the implication of deliberate play and deliberate practice.Research from Telama (2006) states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Côté (2002) defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment. These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult. Children typically change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g. in the street. on a playing field or in someone’s backyard). When involved in d eliberate play activities, children are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior (whether they win or lose) than with the behavior. (having fun).On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are motivated by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved in deliberate play, they experiment with different combinations of behaviors, but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance. In contrast, when individuals are involved in deliberate practice, they exhibit behavior focused on improving performance by the most effective means available. For example, the backhand skills in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively improve their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable. Although drills are used in most effective means available practice might not be the most enjoyable, they might be the most relevant to improving performance.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78．Besides the learning of motor skills, what are the other two important objectives of youth sport?79．If children participate in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities, they are more likely to_____.80．In deliberate play activities, what do children do to maximize enjoyment? 81．In contrast to deliberate play, deliberate practice is aimed at_____.第II卷（共47分）I.

【小题2】in 【小题3】expressing 【小题4】tolearn 【小题5】and 【小题6】once 【小题7】checked 【小题8】who【解析】25．can．考察情态动词．此空后面为动词原型，分析句子不缺成分，因此填情态动词，再根据句意他们认为只要他们可以说和理解一种语言，他们就学会它了，故填can．26．in．考察介词的固定搭配，分析句子不缺主干，名词前面一般放介词，考察固定搭27．expressing．考查非谓语中的动名词，固定搭配have trouble （in）doing sth，因此，填expressing．28．to learn．考查非谓语中的动词不定式，名词被最高级修饰时，后置定语用动词不定式，因此the best way to do．29．and．考查vice versa，表示反之亦然，文章第五段"Translate from your native language into English （29）and vice versa"是一个省略句，句与句之间需要连词，根据意思，填并列连词and．30．once．根据文章第五段"if you write more，you should start thinking in English．You will know you have become fluent （30）once you no longer need to translate your thoughts"是一个条件状语从句，句与句之间缺连词，根据意思和逻辑关系，故需要填once，一旦．31．checked．考查非谓语中的过去分词，考查搭配get sth done，把某事做一下；故填checked．32．who．根据文章最后一段"The fastest way to learn is to have someone，（32）who has already mastered the language，check your writings"考查定语从句，主句中插入了一个定语从句，先行词是someone，从句缺主语，故填who．本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了写作的重要性和提高写作能力的5种技巧：尽量多的阅读，用自己的母语翻译，使用社交媒体发布以得到别人的评论，学习网上课程，得到别人的写作指导．本文难度适中，考点涉及非谓语、冠词、代词、不定式、定语从句，介词的固定搭配和情态动词．需要考生对以上语法以及各类语法都能灵活切换．Children have their own rules in playing games．They seldom need a referee （裁判）and rarely trouble to keep scores．They don't care much about who wins or loses，and it doesn't seem to worry them （33）______ the game is not finished．Yet，they like games that depend a lot on luck，（34）______ their personal abilities cannot be directly compared．They also enjoyed games that move in stages，in which each stage-the choosing of leaders，the picking-up of sides，or the determining of which side shall start-is almost a game in itself．Grown-ups can hardly find children's game exciting，and they often feel puzzled at（35）______ their kids play such simple game again and again．（36）______ ，it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons．He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person，and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid．He becomes a leader when it comes to（37）______ turn．He can be confident，too，in particular games，that it is his place to give orders，to pretend to be dead，to throw a ball actually at someone，or to kiss someone he（38）______ （catch）．It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation （39）______ their control．Everyone knows the rules，and （40）______ （importantly），everyone plays according to the rules．Those rules may be childish，but they make sure that every child has a chance to win．9.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.H11.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.H12.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.H13.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.H14.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HE.EF.FG.GH.H16.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.H 【答案】【小题1】if 【小题2】sothat【小题3】why【小题4】However【小题5】his【小题6】hascaught 【小题7】under【小题8】moreimportantly【解析】33．if．本题考查句子结构．该句中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是"____the game is not finished"，主语从句中缺少表达"是否"的引导词；whether 引导主语从句时从句不能是否定句，所以本题不用whether；if 可以引导主语从句，但是不能放在句首；本题从句没有放在句首，所以本题答案用if．34．so that．本题考查的是上下文的逻辑关系．上文讲到"他们的游戏全凭运气"，结果是"他们的能力不能直接比较"，所以本题用so that表示"结果"，引导结果状语从句．35．why．本题考查的是上下文的逻辑关系．上文讲的是"成年人觉得这些游戏根本不令人兴奋"；所以下文讲的是成年人困惑（puzzle）"为什么（why）"孩子们一遍又一遍地玩这种游戏．所以本题用why引导的宾语从句作介词at的宾语．36．However．本题考查的是上下文的逻辑关系．上文讲的是"困惑"，下文讲的是"发现"，所以存在逻辑上的转折关系．however表示转折"然而"，往往有逗号与句子的其它部分分开，所以答案用However，but没有逗号与句子的其它部分分开，所以这里不用but．37．his．本题考查人称代词的选用．该题题干中turn是名词"顺序"，本题中表示"某人的次序"所以在名词turn前加形容词性物主代词，与句子主语he保持一致，所以用his．38．has caught．本题考查动词时态；因为文章讲的是一般情况，所以用于现在相关的时态；句中表示的是"已经捉住"，所以用现在完成时，所以答案是has caught．39．under．本题考查介词搭配．题干中运用了短语"under one's control"表示"在某人的控制下"，所以答案是under．40．more importantly．本题考查副词的比较级．题干中隐含了"everyone plays according to the rules"与"Everyone knows the rules"的比较，表示"遵守规则比知道规则更重要"；所以答案是more importantly．本文分析了孩子们的游戏特征．孩子们的游戏有它们的规则，但不需要裁判，也不需要记分．他们的游戏不在于比较能力，全凭运气．并且他们喜欢一个阶段一个阶段的游戏，子们却乐此不疲．据发现，孩子们玩游戏有一些重要的原因，他们可以成为好的游戏者，不需要考虑自己是否受欢迎；他们会发现自己对他人有用；当孩子们玩游戏时，他们想象一个受自己控制的情景．每个人都知道游戏规则，更重要的是，每个人都遵守游戏规则．那些游戏规则看起来也许孩子气，但是确保了每个孩子都有赢的机会．整体理解文章，关注上下文的逻辑关系和词语搭配．A century ago，American political leaders judged public opinions by people's applause and the size of crowds at meeting．This direct exposure to the people's views did not（41） ______ produce accurate knowledge of public opinions．It did，however，give political （42） ______ leaders in their public support．Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas（43） ______ each other seven times in the summer and autumn of 1858，two years before they became presidential nominees （总统候选人）．Their debates took place before（44） ______ in cornfields and courthouse squares．A century later most presidential debates，although seen by millions，take place before a few reporters and the technicians in television studios．The public's response cannot be（45） ______ firsthand．This distance between leaders and followers is one of the difficult problems of modern democracy．The media provide information to millions of people，but they are not yet so（46） ______ at providing leaders with feedback from the public．Is government by acclamation （欢呼、欢迎） possible when the scale of communication is so large and impersonal？To make up for the（47） ______ in their ability to experience public opinions for themselves，leaders have turned to science，in particular the science of opinion polling （民意调查）．It is no secret that politicians and public officials make（48） ______ use of public-opinion polls to help them decide whether to run for office，what policies to support，how to vote on important issues and types of（49） ______ to make in their campaigns．President Lydon Johnson was famous for carrying the latest Gallup and Roper poll results in his pocket，and it is widely believed that he began to（50） ______ from politics because the polls reported losses in public support．All recent presidents and other major political figures have worked closely with polls．17.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.J18.A.AG.GH.HI.I J.J19.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.I J.J20.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.I J.J21.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.I

【小题8】A 【小题9】B 【小题10】J【解析】41-50 DFCEI HKABJ41D．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为副词，只有DG为副词，根据句意，民众的掌声和人数并不一定能真正地反映出公众的观点．只有D符合句意．42 F．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为名词，根据句意，"然而，在获取民众的支持中，它确实给到政界领导人信心"．43 C．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为动词，且为动词过去式的形式，只有C和I，根据句意，林肯和道格拉斯在竞选中辩论了7次．所以选C．44 E．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为名词，根据句意，"在观众面前辩论"，所以选E．45I．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题比较容易出错，考生会误认为firsthand是形容词，然后找个副词来修饰．其实不然，在这里，firsthand是副词，前面be动词后要加动词的过去分词构成被动，根据句意，由于不直接面对观众，所以"民众的反映不可能被直接地感受到"所以选I．其实此题下一段有提示，47题空格后面"in their ability to experience public opinions"，这里出现了"体验民众的观点．46 H．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为形容词，根据句意"新闻媒体在给政界领导人提供民众的反馈信息方面却不是很高效"，所以选H．47K．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为名词，根据句意"为了弥补他们获得民众反馈的这种能力的下降，他们开始求助于民意调查"，所以选K．注意decline 在这里做名词用．48 A．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为形容词，根据句意"政界要员广泛使用民意调查来帮助他们决定…"make extensive use of"充分利用，广泛使用"．所以选A．49 B．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题有一定难度，判断词性为名词的复数形式，只有B为名词的复数形式．types of appeals to make，"所做出的各种的呼吁"make an appeal"呼吁、上诉"50 J．考查词汇在具体语境中的运用．此题判断词性为动词原形，根据句意"他开始从政界退出，因为民意调查报道他的公众支持减少"，所以选J．本文属于政治类短文阅读．主要描述了在政治领域，民众的掌声和人数并不一定能真正地反映出公众的观点．林肯和道格拉斯在竞选中辩论了多次，并通过调查民意的方式来了解民众的心声．本文属于11选10阅读题型．该题型选词填空的选项词义互不关联，词性也不同，而且还有干扰项，一定要先了解文章大意，带着文章脉络去找选项．务必先沉着地把文章读一遍，尤其注意横线前后的位置，为寻找正确选项打下铺垫．通读时要根据首段原则以及首末句原则，迅速抓出文章的主题．判定文章主题对于篇章的整体把握具有很大的积极意义．II、完形填空(本大题共15小题，共3.0分)Directions：For

D．unbelievable"令人难以置信的"．其他选项的含义分别是A．essential"必要的"；B．inconvenient"不方便的"；C．difficult"困难的"．64．【参考答案】C．考查动词的搭配．根据句意"他说我们竟然允许这么大的可能性让那时候正在规范无线电．所以答案是A．regulating"规范"．其他选项的含义分别是B．producing"生产"；C．providing"提供"；D．developing"发展"．本文讲述了在广播发展的初期，收音机不是作为一种服务而是一种设备，电台是由那些做无线电的人赞助的，甚至有杂志出钱奖励一篇回答了关于谁来支付广播的文章，不知道广播的出路在哪里．广告很晚进入收音机，而现在被广告所淹没．考查人文类阅读．在做完型填空是．要通览全文，把握大意通览全文目的是抓住文章的大意，了解全文的结构和基本内容，为下一步正确选择答案奠定基础．有人认为，看一篇满是空白的短文得不到什么信息，倒不如看一句填一空，这样节约时间一些．其实不然．考生只有在通览全文之后，才会成竹在胸，能够更快更准确地找出答案来．抓住第一句，预测下一句．III、阅读理解(本大题共16小题，共12.0分)AThe day began early．An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before．They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July，the glorious day，by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise．But they were to blow them for precisely five minutes only，and no sound of the horns should be heard afterward till the family were downstairs．It was thought that a peace might thus be brought by a short，though crowded，period of noise．The morning came．Even before the morning，at half-past three o'clock，a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family．The number of the horns was most remarkable!It was as though every cow in the place had arisen and was blowing through both her own horns!"How many little boys are there？How many have we？"exclaimed Mr．Peterkin，going over their names one by one mechanically thingking he would do it，as he might count imaginary sheep jumping over a fence，to put himself to sleep．The counting could not put him to sleep now，in such a loud noise．And how unexpectedly long the five minutes seemed!Elizabeth Eliza was to take out her watch and give the signal for the end of the five minutes，and the ceasing of the horns．Why did not the signal come？Why didi not Elizabeth Eliza stop them？And certainly it was long before sunrise；there was no dawn to be seen!"We'll not try this plan again，"said Mrs．Peterkin．"If we live to another Fourth，"added Mr．Peterkin，hurrying to the door to inquire into the state of affairs．Alas!Amanda，by mistake，had waked up the little boys an hour too early．And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them．Mrs．Peterkin had given them permission to have the boys for the whole day，and they understood the day as beginning when they went to bed the night before．This accounted for the number of horns．It would have been impossible to hear any explanation；but the five minutes were over，and the horns had ceased，and there remained only the noise of a singular leaping of feet，explained perhaps by a possible pillow-fight，that kept the family below partially awake until the bells and cannon made known the drawning of the glorious day，the sunrise，or"the rising of the sons，"as Mr．Peterkin jokingly called it when they heard the little boys and their friends clattering down the stairs to begin the outside festivities．42.According to the passage，which event happened first ______ ？A.Mr．Peterkin noted how many boys there were．B.The Peterkins were awakened by the boys．C.Elizabeth gave the signal to stop the horns．D.Mr．Peterkin exclaimed how many boys they had．43.What did the7th paragraph talk about ______ ？A.The palce where the boys blew their horns．B.The time when Elizabeth Eliza stopped them．C.The way how the boys blew their horns．D.The reason why more horns were over there．44.The probable main idea of this passage is that ______ ．A.the little boys didn't carry out the agreement thoroughlyB.the little boys didn't see the signal to stop blowing their horns．C.the little boys blew horns to greet the dawn of July4th so early．D.the Peterkins enjoyed children's blowing of the horns on July4th．45.Which question is not answered in the story ______ ？A.When did the horn blowing begin？B.How long ago did the custom start？C.Why did the boys blow the horns in the morning？D.How did the Peterkins feel about the horn blowing？【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】B【解析】66．B．细节理解题．根据第三段"Even before the morning，at half-past three o'clock，a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family．"可知，凌晨3点半，全家就被可怕的号角声惊醒．故选B．67．D．段落大意题．根据第七段最后一句的主题句"This accounted for the number of horns．"可知，this为代词，指代上文的内容，句意为"这就解释了这么多号角声的原因"．故选D．68．C．主旨大意题．根据第二段第二句"They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July，the glorious day，by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise．"可知，前天晚上就说好，第二天日出时分，孩子们可以用吹号角的方式庆祝国庆节．故选C．69．B．细节理解题．根据第七段第一句"Alas!Amanda，by mistake，had waked up the little boys an hour too early．"可知，吹号角的时间被提前了一小时，回答了A选项when．根据第二段第二句"They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July，the glorious day，by the blowing of horns exactly at sunrise．"可知，孩子们吹号角庆祝国庆节，回答了C 选项why．根据最后一段…"the rising of the sons，"as Mr．Peterkin jokingly called it…可知，Peterkin先生开玩笑地说，回答了D选项how．只有B选项文中没有提到，故选B．全文大意前天晚上就和小男孩们说好，第二天日出时分，他们可以吹号角五分钟来庆祝国庆节．但是第二天凌晨3点半时，家人就被可怕的号角声惊醒．这号角声惊天动地，就如同每一头牛都起来了，在用它们头上的角吹奏着．Peterkin先生数着羊也无法让自己入睡，起来看看究竟是怎么回事．原来是Amanda提前了一小时把小男孩们叫了起来．另外小男孩们又邀请了三四个朋友在此过夜．全家人一直醒着直到外面的铃声和礼炮声宣告着荣耀之日清晨的来临，太阳的升起．Peterkin先生开玩笑地说："儿子们升起了"．解主旨大意题时可抓住文章的主题句，通常主题句都在文章的开端．BSettling in to life at OxfordWhen you first arrive in Oxford，it may take a little while for you to find your way around．The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800years．Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike（most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around），setting up a bank account，getting their computer and mobile phone working，finding their department，getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize．One of the major events you will experience shortly after"coming up"to Oxford is matriculation．Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university．International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year．Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you，as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you．The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system，University services，information on living in Britain and culture differences，as well as addressing practical issues such as employment，immigration and visas，health and safety．You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow

On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot—it was a tight fit.Pretty soon I’d made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air. Feeling good, I (26) _____ (empty) my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse park.Just as I approached my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car spot earlier.

You are just so much (30) _____ her. You helped those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and passed a box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.” (31) _____ (shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl. It was (32) _____ (nice) gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.(B)Ask Helpful HannahDear Helpful Hannah,I’ve got a problem with my husband, Sam.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. accessB. alternativesC. assignedD. confirmedE. conflictingF. elementsG. functionH. innovativeI. prospectiveJ. separateK. supportingConsidering how much time people spend in offices, it is important that work spaces be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers, and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or 41 , customers. They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture we live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers have come up with 42 to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environment.” These 43 solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.As employee hierarchies（等级制度）have flattened, or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been 44 by changes in workstation design. Offices and work spaces often are not 45 to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by lowering the walls that 46 workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees’ 47 to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often 48 demands, including budgetary limits, employee hierarchies, and technological innovation（especially in relation to computerization）. These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors（内饰）that in some way enhance, establish, or promote a company’s image and will enable employees to 49 at their best.All these 50 of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like a good marriage --- the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. beneficial53. A. priority B. proof C. possibility D. principle54. A. tested B. imposed C. changed D. created55. A. appearances B. virtues C. similarities D. passions56. A. illustrations B. implications C. ingredients D. intentions57. A. predict B. investigate C. diagnose D. recall58. A. critical B. initial C. random D. mature59. A. memorize B. distinguish C. negotiate D. question60. A. Nose B. Eye C. Heart D. Hand61. A. open B. alert C. resistant D. superior62. A. disappointed B. amazed C. confused D. gifted63. A. emotions B. attractiveness C. individuality D. signals64. A. enhance B. possess C. maintain D. asses65. A. familiar B. plain C. positive D. irritating Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of folk art during several years of research around the world.For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of artistic freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechseläuten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Böögg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Böögg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.67. “The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.A. snowmen were made mainly by artistsB. snowmen enjoyed great popularityC. snowmen were politically criticizedD. snowmen caused damaging floods68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.A. the start of the paradeB. the coming of a longer summerC. the passing of the winterD. the success of tradesmen69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?A. They were appreciated in historyB. They have lost their valueC. They were related to moviesD. They vary in shape and size(B)Scary BunnyThe Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine (粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. Itwon an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!70. In the film review, what is paragraph A mainly about?A. The introduction to the leading rolesB. The writer’s opinion of actingC. The writer’s comments on the storyD. The background information71. According to the film review, “the monster” (paragraph B) refers to ______.A. a gun-crazy hunterB. a brainy dogC. a scary rabbitD. a giant vegetable72. Which of the following is a reason why the writer recommends the film?A. It’s full of wit and humour.B. Its characters show feelings without words.C. It is an adventure film directed by Peter Sallis.D. It is about the harmony between man and animals.(C)One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor（叛徒）. And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Cassius’s sly provocation（狡诈的挑唆）of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organising.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business: when and how do you resist the boss?73. According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?A. Cruel.B. Superior.C. Honorable.D. Rude74. According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to ________.A. help executives to understand Shakespeare’s plays betterB. give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s playsC. provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshopsD. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.75. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.D. To warn executives against power misuse.76. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays.C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.D. Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.77. The best title for the passage is _____.A. Shakespeare’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate cultureB. Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business successC. Shakespeare’s plays: a lesson for business motivationD. Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic resultsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Youth sport has the potential to accomplish three important objectives in children’s development. First, sport programs provide youth with opportunities to be physically active, which can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth-sport programs have long beenconsidered important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth sport programs are critical for the learning of motor skills（运动技能）; these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult sport participants. When coachers develop activities for youth practices and when sport organizations design youth-sport programs, they must consider the implication of deliberate play and deliberate practice.Research from Telama (2006) states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Côté (2002) defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment. These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult. Children typically change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g., in the street, on a playing field or in someone’s backyard). When involved in deliberate play activities, children are less concerned with the outcome of their behavior (whether they win or lose) than with the behavior (having fun).On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are motivated by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved in deliberate play, they experiment with new or different combinations of behaviors, but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance. In contrast, when individuals are involved in deliberate practice, they exhibit behavior focused on improving performance by the most effective means available. For example, the backhand skills in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively improve their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable. Although the drills used in deliberate practice might not be the most enjoyable, they might be the most relevant to improving performance.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS) 78. Besides the learning of motor skills, what are the other two important objectives of youth sport?79. If children participate in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities, they are more likely to________________.80. In deliberate play activities, what do children do to maximize enjoyment?81. In contrast to deliberate play, deliberate practice is aimed at____________.第II卷（共47分）I.

For exampl e, John Keats’s“When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be”and John Donne’s“Death, Be Not Proud” both discuss death in reflective ways. However, the imagery in these poems shows that while Keats believes that death can only destroy, Donne bel ieves that death can be overcome.Keats is afraid of death, because to him death means the lo ss of those things that make his life worth living: “On the shore / of the wide world I stand alone, and think/ Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.” Earlier in the poem, Keats says that he hopes this “Love” will be a “high romance” with a “fair creature”.

The differences in this imagery show two&。
