ATeenagers should mind their manners when traveling on a bus or train. They will be told to “stand up for their elders” on public transport —or may lose their right to free travel.Officials in London will declare plans lately to make youngsters sign a “courtesy pledge” to promise to behave in a respectful manner when travelling in the capital. The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly, pregnant and disabled; keep from using offensive or threatening language; and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff.The teenagers who refuse, or are caught behaving in a loutish manner, will have their free travel passes removed. The plan will initially affect the 400,000 11-to-15-year-olds in London who qualify for free travel cards.During an interview, a Conservative insider said: “The plan corresponds perfectly with the push to create a Big Society. It is about changing culture and expectations around behavior on buses and trains for everyone.”Mr. Johnson said he was determined to deal with the anti-social behavior of a “minority of youngsters” on public transport. “When I was a boy, I was taught to stand up for those less able to, " he said, “Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel, which is paid for by Londoners, but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility. Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away, and will have to earn that right back."Teenagers found guilty of a serious violation (违背) of the new behavior rules will lose their travel passes, and will have to carry out unpaid community work to earn them back.Mr. Johnson is also introducing a “two strikes and you're out”policy to deal with repeated offenders, under which those committing a second serious violation of the rules will lose their free travel rights permanently21. Which is NOT included in the “courtesy pledge”?A. To offer their seats to those in need.B. To stop using aggressive language on public transport.C. To show courtesy and politeness to people on board.D. To avoid bothering others by talking too much.22. What’s the purpose of carrying out such a plan?A. To prevent those rule-violators having their free travel rights.B. To help create a harmonious atmosphere on public transport.C. To deal with the anti-social behaviors of most youngsters.D. To encourage teenagers to take part in unpaid community work.23. Which is the most severe punishment to rule-violators?A. They will be forbidden to take public transport.B. They will have to do unpaid community work.C. They will lose free travel rights forever.D. They can’t take free transport for months.BWhen you think of children’s literature, endless picnics with lots of strawberry jam might pop into your mind. But British author Roald Dahl went down a different path, satisfying children’s curiosity for the dark, violent and greedy.To date, his books are said to have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide. In 2013, he beat J.K. Rowling to be nam ed the best children’s author of all time. And movie adaptations of his works continue to hit the big screen, including US director Steven Spielberg’s take on The BFG.Dahl’s books have been successful partly because he wrote from the viewpoint of childre n and allowed them to lead the stories, act on their own and even act against the wishes of adults.And his dark descriptions appeal to young readers. For example, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, one of Dahl’s famous stories, is a black comedy with the naughty children having terrible revenge taken on them. In The BFG, there is a witching hour, which he wrote is “a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hid ing and had the world all to themselves”.The darkness came from Dahl’s own life. He lost his father young. Then his mother sent him away to a boarding school where he was badly beaten. He was then a naughty child and sometimes even a troublemaker. Dahl would later describe his school years as “days of horrors” that were filled with “rules … and still more rules … to be obeyed”. His own experience inspired some of his dark fiction.And he was a fighter pilot during World War II. Very few people had quite that fierceness. He’s one of the few children’s authors who’s actually killed people. That is going to have an effect on how you see people and the world.24. J.K. Rowling and Steven Spielberg are mentioned in the text to stress____________A. main features of Dahl’s books.B. achievements that Dahl made.C. Dahl’s influence on the film industry.D. differences between Dahl and them.25. Dahl’s books appeal to young readers partly because ______.A. they contain a lot of dark humor and violenceB. they were written from the perspective of childrenC. they tell stories of Dahl’s own experiencesD. they teach children how to act on their own26. Which of the followings inspired some of his dark stories?A. His father’s death during the World War II.B. His pride in his experience as a fighter pilot.C. The cruel treatment he received from his parents.D. The unhappy childhood he spent in the boarding school.COne great irony about our collective obsession (痴迷) with creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways. That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self: Either we’re “creative”or we aren’t, without much of a middle ground. “I’m just not a creative person!”a frustrated student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, giving a comment such as, “I’m very right-brained.”Dr. Pillay, a tech entrepreneur (企业家) and an assistant professor at Harvard University, has been challenging these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to “believe in yourself.”In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.Dr. Pillay points to a 2016 study showing how can stereotypes(刻板印象) affect one’s behavior. The authors, educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into three groups, instructing the members of one to think of themselves as “romantic poets”and the members of another to imagine they were “serious librarians” (the third group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the serious-librarian group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students’ creativity levels across academic majors.These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a malleable product of context and perspective, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.Dr. Pillay argues that, besides identifying yourself as creative, taking the bold, creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful.27. According to the passage, who is more likely to unlock his creative potential?A. A physics major who likes to imagine himself as a poet.B. An art major who always believes in himself.C. A math major who has excellent academic performance.D. A history major who works as a librarian on weekends.28. What does the study conducted by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar focus on?A. The creativity of the college studentsB. The stereotypes of the college students.C. The influence of stereotypes on one’s behavior.D. The effect of creativity on one’s behaviour.29. The underlined word in the 4th paragraph probably means________?A. stableB. controllableC. predictableD. changeable30. Which of the followings can be the best title for this passage?A. The Impact of StereotypesB. Pretend to Be CreativeC. Ways to Increase CreativityD. To Be a Creative Person第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

His father died in anaccident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered nohigh school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told himmany times, “Son, yo u can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.”She told him notshe said. “All the peopleto depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who w ork hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew thatbelieving and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years tosave enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were look ing for. John’smother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learnedthe power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. Hiswish was to publish a magazine for blacks.“Nothing While oth ers discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by.She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed tobeats a failure but a try.”start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very“Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind.Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $ 150 million.cago because ________.1. John’s mother decided to move to ChiA. his father died when John was very youngB. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC. John needed more education badlyD. there were no schools for blacks in their hometown2. John’s mother ________.A. didn’t believe in or depend on othersB. thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC. believed one would succeed without working hardD. thought no one could succeed without working hard3. The story mainly tells us ________.A. how John H. Johnson became successfulB. about the mental support John’s mother gave himC. about the importance of a good educationD. about the key to success for blacksBOne of America's best-known artist colonies，the MacDowell Colony，will turn 110 next year.It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions (令人分心的事物) and justcreate.MacDowell's operations are funded by foundations, corporations and individuals. Writers, composers, photographers, filmmakers and sculptors—both famous and unknown—compete for the 32 free studios at the place. Once accepted，an artist can stay for as little as a couple of weeks，or as long as a couple of months.o When they arrive, artists find a kind of isolation(隔绝) hard to find in our world. There’s n phone. No fax. No friends. No family. It' s just a cabin in the snowy woods.Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City. She came to MacDowell to work on a novel.She received a desk, chairs, pencil and paper---and ice grippers. The walk from one isolated，one-room studio to another is icy, so colony residents (居住的人) fasten the ice grippers to the bottom of their shoes.Another colony resident, Belfast composer Elaine Agnew, plays a piece called To a Wild Rose, written by Edward MacDowell. She says it's so famous that every pianist in the world has played the tune. A hundred years ago，MacDowell owned the land where the colony now sits. He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there. After his death, his wife, Marion,encouraged other artists to come.And for the last century, artists have accepted the invitation, coming to step outside of theirdaily lives for a short time. Privacy is respected, but cooperation and discussion is common.Screenwriter Kit Carson---who wrote Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the film adaptation of Sam Shepherd's play Paris, Texas---has visited MacDowell twice. He says that the interdisciplinary(学科间的) discussion there is valuable.“You sit around at dinner, talking, and then somebody runs off and brings you back somestuff and shows it to you, ”he says.“That, I didn't realize, was part of the magic here, because people are really open to showing their opinions here.”4. What do the colony residents have in common?A. They usually stay in the colony for months.B. They are already famous in their own field.C. They are not disturbed by the outside world.D. They find it hard to survive the loneliness.5. Why does the author mention Elaine Agnew?A. To show the wide range of the residents.B. To admire her great musical talent.C. To introduce the origin of the colony.D. To show respect for MacDowell.6. Where does the magic of the MacDowell Colony lie according to Kit Carson?A. It values work-play balance.B. It has an idea-sharing atmosphere.C. It encourages privacy greatly.D. It has a homely feel.7. What would be the best title for the text?A. Happy artistsB. Wonderland for artistsC. Power of isolationD. Creativity at work。

Instinct taking over, I thought I must do something. I practically raced down the stairs and touched her shoulder. “Can I help?” I asked gently. “I canno t walk.” she moaned, breathing hard.

Instantly, I helped her into a standing position, put her arm around my shoulder and together we hobbled to the nurse's office.Sabrina never harassed me after that. We never became friends, but from that moment at the foot of the stairs, I was convinced that I had earned her respect. She still hated being on my team in gym class and flared up sometimes, but things were different. Her best friend would still pick on me occasionally, but Sabrina would shake her head and quietly say, “Leave her alone.” And always she would.听力录音稿(Text 1)W: It’ll be cold in the park, Sam.

Is there anybody there?W: Yeah, come in please.M: Excuse me, I am supposed to report to Gayle. I was told to come up to help move the office furniture.W: You must me Danny. Well, all of the desks, tables and chairs from this office need to be moved out and stored in the meeting room.M: Sure, but you’ll have to show me where the meeting room is. I have never been up here on the 5th floor before. W: OK, I’ll show you later.M: Thank you. And tell me, are all of these offices being repainted?W: No, but the carpet is going to be replaced. That’s why everything must be taken out.M: OK. I got it.(Text 7)W: Good afternoon, Mr Green. Nice to meet you again. How about the computer system I suggested to you last time? Does it work properly?M: The new computer system you sold me works great.I can’t believe how much faster my office tasks are getting completed. I backed up the whole hard drive in 20 minutes.W: I told you it would be a big improvement. So what can I do for you today? You mentioned you might also be looking for a printer, right?M: Yes, I did mention that. But today I came in to ask about a program. I need something that can deal with the information of our company’s spending.W: I see. We have several programs that are suitable for counting. Let’s look at them one by one.(Text8)M: Anna, did you receive the copy of Mancini’s new book that I sent you? We need someone to write up a review of it for our next magazine, and I thought you would be perfect since you lived in Italy for so long.W: Oh, you mean that new travel guide? Sure, I’d be happy to do that. But how soon do you need it? I’ll be away in South Africa for two weeks starting next Monday.M: Well, the deadline for it is a month from today. Is that cutting it too close for you? Should I find someone else? W: No, it shouldn’t be a problem. Actually, I’ll have so much time in the air. I should be able to read the whole book from cover to cover while travelling. I’ll just write the review and have it in your hands three weeks from today.(Text9)W: Luggage Claim Office, can I help you?M: I certainly hope so. I flew here from Los Angeles yesterday, but when I arrived, my luggage was missing. W: Oh, dear! Did you report it when you landed?M: Yes, I told them at the information office but I din’t have time to call you. I had a business meeting to attend.W: I’ll try to find out where your luggage is, sir, but I do need some information from you. Can I have your name first, please?M: Carlos Barnes.W: OK, and what flight was it and what time did you arrive at the airport?M: It was flight 8755, and I had a two-hour stopover in New York. The plane was almost an hour late, so we landed here in Chicago about 8 o’clock yesterday evening.W: Fine, I also need to know the number of your luggage check.M: It’s FL8977 and FL 8978. A small case and a large one. Both are in dark brown leather.W: Thank you, Mr Barnes. Now I’ll be able to find your missing luggage. If you give me your telephone number, I’ll call you back.M: Right. It’s 5734247 until four o’clock and after that you can leave a message.W: That’s OK, Mr Barnes, we’ll get your luggage as soon as possible. Goodbye.M: Goodbye.(Text10)W: In this age of e-mail and text messaging, conversation can seem unimportant. But in fact, it’s very important because it connects us face-to-face with one another and is the most sociable of all human activities. So have you ever wished you were better at making conversation? A great talker is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel you’re the only person in the room. Becoming a good talker requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it. Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The last thing people want to hear from a stranger is how noisy the party is, how terrible the food is, or how ugly the people are dressed. Praise is always a good ice breaker and will usually be welcomed. I also suggest reading the newspapers because it is so important to know what is going on in the world. But don’t attempt to be the smartest person in the room. No one is expected to know everything.Anyway, the fact is, the best way to attract a person to keep a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them.。

Hold your hea d up and look the person in the _24_ , so he’ll know you 25 it.”My mother thus made the key point of a（n）26 apology: it must be direct. You must never _27 to be doing something else. You do not 28 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 29 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your _30 __. You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 31 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 32 _ .One of the important things you should do for an 33 apology is readiness to 34 the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 35 for the other person to 36 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 37 _about themselves. That, after all, is the 38 of every apology. It 39 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s 40 encourages others to take their share of the blame.21.

She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath. “I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought. She went to the doctor and told him her problem. “I'm not at all surprised.” he said, “I know wha t your problem is.” He examined her and then gave her some advice. “If you don’t do what I say, Mrs Parker,” he said, “You will have a heart attack. It could kill you.”Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor’s. She knew that she had to take his advi ce but that it would not be easy and it would take time.The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop.“I'd like ten pounds of steak, please.” she said.“Certainly, madam.” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale.“That's just ten pounds.” he said.“That's big enough.” Mrs Parker said.The butcher worked out the price. “At $4.99 a pound that will be $49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”“Oh, I don't want to buy the meat.” Mrs Parker said.“If you don't want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “Why did you ask me to get it for you?”“My doctor told me that I am too heavy and have to lose ten pounds.

Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence on the world of music.Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, “Jazz and I grew up together.”Armstrong showed a great talent for music when he was taught to play the cornet （短号）at a boy’s home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that traveled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.His cornet playing had a deep humanity （仁爱）and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.” He was the father of the jazz style and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world. His death, on July 6,1971, was headline news around the world.43. Armstrong was called Pops because he ______.A. looked like a musicianB. was a musician of much influenceC. showed an interest in musicD. traveled to play modern music44.The third paragraph is developed ______A. by spaceB. by examplesC. by timeD. by comparison45. Which statement about Armstrong is true?A. His tale begins in New Orleans.B. He was born before jazz was invented.C. His music was popular with his listeners.D. He learned popular music at a boy’s home.46. Which would be the best title for the text?A. The Invention of the Jazz Music.B. The Father of the Jazz Style.C. The Making of a Musician.D. The Spread of Popular Music.CIf you’re a male and you’re reading this, congratulations: you’re a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you’ll die on average five years before a woman.There are many reasons for this --- typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke --- but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor. “Men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta, “this is particularly so for the over-40s, when disease tend to strike.” Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor e very year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year.“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer,” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life.”According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they’re undefeatable,” Gullota says, “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, ‘Geez, if it could happen to him…”Then there’s the ostrich approach. “Some men are scared of what might be t here and would rather not know,” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says, “ But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”47. Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?A. They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.C. They have lived long enough to read this article.D. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.48. What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?A. Men drink and smoke much more than womenB. Men don’t seek medical care as often as womenC. Men aren’t as cautious as women in face of dangerD. Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases.49. Which of the following best completes the sentence ‘Geez, if it could happen to him…’A. it could happen to me, tooB. I should avoid playing golfC. I should consider myself luckyD. it would be a big misfortune50. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?A. They may increase public expenses.B. They will save money in the long run.C. They may cause psychological strains on men.D. They will enable men to live as long as women.DLi Hua has just come back from the US and intends to give some of his relatives mentioned in51-55 some books as gifts. He brings back six books （A-F）.
