Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AFor some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call ―amusic.‖ People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (⾳调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. ―I used to hate parties,‖ says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn‘t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can‘t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. ―When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ?No thanks, I‘m amusic,‘‖ says Margaret. ―I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.‖65. Which of the following is true of amusics?A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.66. According to paragraph 3, a person with ―defective hearing‖ is probably one who __________.A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system67. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics68. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics‘ strange behaviours.B. Some people‘s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure.D. Identification and treatment of amusics.B14days from just ￡2,090ppFully inclusive from the UKPrice cover international airfares, departure taxes, fuel charge, local transportation all meals, entrance fees, guides, daily tours and visas for UK citizens.◆Days 1-3 UK-ShanghaiFly to the great city of shanghai and in the evening sample traditional shanghai food.

I hated everything about the city and my life."Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north-west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm."The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay." said Zoe. "Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets.

Instead of measuring in meters or centimeters, they measure in nanometers –– one billionth of a meter –– much thinner than a human hair.But this was achieved neither 24)__________, nor alone.Back in 1983, Sauvage, who is now a retired professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, started doing the research. He managed to join two ring-shaped molecules together to form a chain. The work is so hard and 25)__________that The Guardian describes it as like“building a Lego castle in the dark with boxing gloves”.If what Sauvage had done was building the body of a car, whatStoddart managed to do 10 years later in 1991 was adding wheels to the car. Stoddart, who now works at Northwestern University, US, developeda(n) 26)_________ known as “rotaxanes”, which me ant that a ring of atoms could move around an axle.And just like a car, the molecular machine needs a(n) 27)________ to run. So in 1999, Feringa, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, became the first person to create a(n) 28)_________ molecular motor powered by electricity.But what is the use of a machine so small that we can’t even see it? According to scientists, the machines can benefit various fields likethe creation of new materials and medical treatment methods.“There are 29)___________ opportunities,” Feringa told Reuters. “Think of a tinymicro-robot that a doctor in the future will inject into your blood and it will go to search for a cancer cell or 30)__________ a drug, for instance.”III. Cloze (12%)When it comes to makers of nature documentaries, ___31___ are better than French directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud. ___32___ the names don’t ring a bell, you might be familiarwith at least one of their masterpieces –– Microcosmos, Winged Migration and Oceans.Seasons is their latest nature film.

Now, 10 years since the highly successful Planet Earth (2006) series, the BBC is finally releasing a sequel, Planet Earth II. Oscar-winning actor and longtime environmental ___37___ Leonardo DiCaprio has also co-produced a film about climate change, Before the Flood, which is going to be released on Oct 21 in the US.Technology may be one of the reasons, since shooting a nature film used to be ___38___ and dangerous. Photographers sometimes have to wait in the wild for hours just for the ___39___ animal to show up, and they may even have to risk their lives to capture a hunting scene.Now things are getting easier. For example, the Planet Earth team developed a new camera system. It allows cameras to stay stable even when they are placed on ___40___ or a running animal. This means that photographers are able to get a clear shot even from a distance away.The reality that Earth is faced with increasing environmental problems has also played a part in the ___41___ of nature films. In fact, this can be seen from the changes in Perrin’s storytelling.In Seasons, Perrin’s poetic storytelling turns ___42___ andcontains warnings about the dangers ofhumans turning their backs on nature.“The film reinforces the idea that man versus nature is an unnecessary idea, as we’re part of what we’re destroying,” wrote Lee Marshall on film review site ScreenDaily.31.

Known as “the land of fire and ice”, the country has many natural wonders.Found just south of the Arctic Circle, it’s far from the northernmost country on Earth. But as a travel destination, Iceland is on top of the world.43)____________________________. As the Today website put it, “Itis as if nature chose Iceland to be its shop window to … remind humanity that nature is still the unstoppable force.”As the world was reminded when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted s ix years ago, Iceland is a country “still in the making, and few other places offer the same opportunities to see the Earth in action”, commented National Geographic magazine.Ice is Iceland’s other big attraction –– to be exact, the huge glaciers which travel toward thecoast, making strange pools of water.44)_______________________________________.On Sept 28, the country’s capital Reykjavik decided to turn off all streetlights for an hour at night to give people a unique chance to enjoy the northern lights. 45) “___________________ ”,travel guidebook publisher Lonely Planet noted.46)__________________________. Iceland has a higher percentage of writers in its population than any other country in the world. And it is not surprising that the country publishes more books per person than any other country in the world, reported the NPR radio station. Iceland has been the birthplace of important literary works and authors – from the Vikings’ Iceland sagas to author Halldór Laxness, winner of the 1955 Nobel literature Prize.“The beast is Iceland, with its harsh nature and its bitter, ever-changing weather. We cannotescape it,” Haraldur Jonsson, an Icelandic artist, told The Observer newspaper while describing his inspiration. “So we find ways to live with it.

Reading comprehensionSection AOn the list of items people worry about, money is almost always at the top.Within hours of a recent major stock market __50__, I telephoned my Ford dealer and ordered the car that I test-drove the day before. As my friends pointed out, it seemed the Dow Jones Industrial Average（道琼斯工业平均指数）didn't have much to do with my financial situation and shouldn't affect my __51__. Besides, my old car had caused me headaches for months. Still, I spent the evening asking myself: Could I afford a new car? Should I be saving __52__ spending?A study in the Wall Street Journal found that 70 percent of the public lives from paycheck to paycheck. Mortgage(抵押贷款) debt has increased 300 percent since 1975. Most marriages that fail __53__ financial problems as a leading factor.When the Dow fell 554 points last October, millions of people lost billions of dollars, on paper anyway. There was expert __54__ on Wall Street and old-fashioned worry on Main Street as well. Our reaction confirmed what we already knew: We are a people __55__ by financial stress.As the Bible tells us, worrying about money — or anything else for that matter — won't do us any __56__. “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Jesus asked. __57__, it is an unusual person who can live free from __58__ stress, or who can spend money on others as easily as he __59__ it on himself.John Wesley was one of that __60__ breed. The founder of Methodism had the highest earned income in 18th century England, but he gave it all away. His philosophy about money was simple: “Earn all you can, save all you can, __61__ all you can.”For most of us, financial security is an elusive（难以达到的）goal. No matter how much we have, it's not __62__. Kahlil Gibran put it this way: “The fear of need is the thirst that can not be satisfied.” When the stock market falls, we can panic and __63__ whether we have enough. Or we can take a deep breath and remember: Money is __64__ a raw material to be plowed back into something else.A. increaseB. jumpC. dropD. sinkA. occupationB. emotionC. entertainmentD. purchaseA. instead ofB. other thanC. together withD. as a result ofA. divideB. ignoreC. agreeD. listA. enjoymentB. excitementC. anxietyD. curiosityA. drivenB. forcedC. consumedD. defeatedA. harmB. goodC. favorD. damageA. MoreoverB. HoweverC. BesidesD. OtherwiseA. financialB. psychologicalC. physicalD. moralA. earnsB. spendsC. costsD. savesA. rareB. commonC. abnormalD. extinctA. consumeB. enjoyC. giveD. begA. doubtfulB. endlessC. fairD. enoughA. expectB. dreamC. worryD. ignoreA. hardlyB. mostlyC. merelyD. mainlySection B(A)“Time is a problem for kids,”states a new report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries “learn time slowly”because “they don’t wear watches”and “parents don’t really know how to teach them time.” The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults —— and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course —— it’s the Flik Flak made by a famous Swiss watch company.The Flik Flak is being marked as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time, of course; it merely “captures their imagination” by presenting the “hour” hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the “minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding “blue” minute on the dial, while Flak point to red hour number. The characters and the colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it “kidproof”: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time.The author doesn’t seem to believe ______________.A the Flik Flak can capture children’s imaginationB a Flik Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell timeC children will be on time if they have learnt how to tell timeD children usually have trouble telling time if they don’t wear watches66 The underlined word “handicap” (Para 1) means _________.A displeasureB disadvantageC disappointmentD discouragement67 Flik and Flak in the passage stand for ________.A a tall boy and a beautiful girlB the designers of the watchC the Swiss watch companyD the minute hand and the hour hand68 The United States sales manager calls the new watch “kidproof” because _________.A it is designed to teach children to be on timeB it proves to be effective in teaching children timeC it is made so as not to be easily damaged by childrenD it is the children’s favourite watch69 Which of the following is discouraged by the Friends organization?A To bulid massive complexes for public amusement.B To prevent possible damages to the National Park.C To help protect and improve the Park for all to enjoy.D To sponsor publication sand projects in local school.70 One of the benefits for members of Friends is to .A have Friends’ goods free of chargeB visit any place not open to the publicC take part in work parties if they want toD give talks in their fields on current issues71 The purpose of this poster is to invite more people to_______________.A raise money for the Friends organizationB join the Friends organization and be members of itC work as managers for Pembroke shire National ParkD enjoy the landscape of Pembroke shire National Park(C)Feeling blue about world? “Cheer up,” says science writer Matt Ridley. “The world has never been a better place to live in, and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational, because he’s carefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good．And this is what he’s set out to prove from a unique point of view in his most recent book．The Rational Optimist．He views mankind as grand enterprise that on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years．He backs his finding with hard facts gathered through years of research．Here’s how he explains his views．1) Shopping fuels inventionIt is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone．Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty, our own generation has access to more nutritious food, more convenient transport, bigger houses, better ears, and of course, more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us．This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things. The more we specialize and exchange, the better off we’ll be．2）Brilliant advancesOne reason we are richer, healthier, taller, cleverer, longer-lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs -food, clothing, fuel and shelter- have grown a lot cheaper．Take one example．In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work．In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for．In 1950 it was eight seconds．Today it’s half second．3）Let’s not kill ourselves for climate changeMitigating（减轻）climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself．A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village, where the use of fossil-fuel electricity is forbidden by well - meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world, is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change．If climate change proves to be mild, but cutting carbon causes real pain, we may well find that we have stopped a nose - bleed by putting a tourniquet（止血带）around our necks．71 What is the theme of Ridley’s most recent book?A．Weakness of human nature．B．Concern about climate change．C．Importance of practical thinking．D．Optimism about human progress．72 How does Ridley look at shopping?A．It encourages the creation of things．B．It results in shortage of goods．C．It demands more fossil fuels．D ．It causes a poverty problem ．73 The candle and lamp example is used to show that ．A ．oil lamps give off more light than candlesB ．shortening working time brings about a happier life ．C ．advanced technology helps to produce better candles ．D ．increased production rate leads to lower cost of goods ．74 What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A ．Cutting carbon is necessary in spite of the huge cost ．B ．Overreaction to climate change may be dangerous ．C ．People ’s health is closely related to climate change ．D ．Careless medical treatment may cause great pain ．Section C76.What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation.77.There are many occasions for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one ’s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving.78.Emotions like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada andelsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift isunique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.79.Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special”. We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.” Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages－often very expressive ones.80.People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years: “I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,” the woman said, “because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.” The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come. Section DThis was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry”. This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many non-science students?The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing—the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meani ng doesn’t happen much in undergraduate science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informational charts as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.” But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）81. Why was this class very unusual?82. The experiment was designed to help teachers find out ________.83. The poetry class was different from science and engineering classes in that __________.84. What influence did the experiment had on those professors?第II 卷(共45分)I. Translation这座历史上出名的庙当地人很熟悉。

Oh，God! My poor，poor Frank!"Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"She half﹣rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，" she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well﹣his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"（1）Paddy cried because he thought．A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB．Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC．what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character（2）The underlined sentence "She half﹣rose before sinking back…" in Paragraph 6 shows that．A．Fee was so heart﹣broken that she could hardly stand upB．Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC．Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see FrankD．Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish（3）What can be inferred from the passage？A．The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer's Sentence of Life Imprisonment．B．The police found Gumming unconscious，heavily struck by Frank．C．The family didn't find out what had happened to Frank until 3years later．D．Frank didn't want his family to know the sentence to him，most probably out of his pride．（4）What is Frank and Paddy's probable relationship with Fee？A．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's brother．B．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's husband．C．Frank is Fee's brother and Paddy is Fee's lover．D．Frank is Fee's lover and Paddy is Fee's husband．5．（6分）Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Exhibition TourOverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is the world's largest exhibition devoted to

years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service，which doesn't have any physical product at all．What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users' friendships and social lives．Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities，but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through．Even without knowing what was in the messages，the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be．What political journalist，what party whip，would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May's enemies are currently plotting？It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns，but the records of which customers have purchased what．Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power．But it is clumsy．For one thing，it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy．By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace，to be replaced by new abuses of power．But there is a deeper conceptual problem，too．Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don't pay for them．The users of their services are not their customers．That would be the people who buy advertising from them ﹣and Facebook and Google，the two virtual giants，dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies．The product they're selling is data，and we，the users，convert our lives to data for thebenefit of the digital giants．Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed，so Google farms us for the data that our digital liver yield．Ants keep enemy insects away from where their aphids（蚜虫）feed；Gmail keeps the spammers out of our inboxes．It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship，even if both sides benefit．（1）According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its．A．digital productsB．user informationC．physical assetsD．quality service（2）Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities mayA．worsen political disputesB．mess up customer recordsC．pose a risk to Facebook usersD．mislead the European commission（3）Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because A．they are no defined as customersB．they are not financially reliableC．these services are generally digitalD．the services are paid for by advertisers（4）The ants analogy is used to illustrateA．a win﹣win business model between digital giantsB．a typical competition pattern among digital giantsC．the benefits provided for digital giants' customersD．the relationship between digital giants and their usersSection C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully.

Summary Writing 10%8．（10分）Directions：Read the following passage．Summarize the main idea and the main point （s）of the passage in no more than 60 words．Use your own words as far as possible．The benefits of having a higher education are manifold（多样的）and range from financial to cultural and from common benefits to some unexpected surprises，below you will find a number of reasons which will help to serve asjustification for a higher education．For many high school students，it is hard to imagine what the long term benefits of a college education might be．College is demanding；the work seems challenging，and meeting all new people seems overwhelming．However，what most young people do not realize is that there is a high likelihood at college that you will find new friends with similar interests and values，You may find yourself developing new interests by getting along with those who have completely different life experiences．As opportunity to get to know your professors can also be counted one of the benefits of having a college education．These intellectuals can be counted on to welcome questions and discussion from students．Therefore，one of the key benefits of a college education is the social bonds created and developed during this unique time in a person's life．Besides，the fact that you'll be building a career for the rest of your life is reason enough to make time for a college education．Indeed，a clear benefit of a college education is that not only will it give you time to better know your likes and dislikes before entering the labor force，it will also enhance the likelihood of a more successful career for you．Many young people are uncertain about a career path at the start of college．This is a time of exploration，and taking the time to explore a variety of college majors is time well spent．One more justification for higher education could be that its best way to enhance yourself in an all﹣round way．Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay for your personal advancement，because perhaps more than anything else，what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future．You never know where your talent could reach．So higher education can provide you can with the chance to realize your personal value．Therefore never undervalue the benefits of entering a higher education，which surely will bring you something beyond expectation．V.

Oh，God! My poor，poor Frank!"Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"She half﹣rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，" she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well﹣his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"（1）Paddy cried because he thought．A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB．Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC．what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character（2）The underlined sentence "She half﹣rose before sinking back…" in Paragraph 6 shows that．A．Fee was so heart﹣broken that she could hardly stand upB．Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting FrankC．Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see FrankD．Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish（3）What can be inferred from the passage？A．The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer's Sentence of Life Imprisonment．B．The police found Gumming unconscious，heavily struck by Frank．C．The family didn't find out what had happened to Frank until 3years later．D．Frank didn't want his family to know the sentence to him，most probably out of his pride．（4）What is Frank and Paddy's probable relationship with Fee？A．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's brother．B．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's husband．C．Frank is Fee's brother and Paddy is Fee's lover．D．Frank is Fee's lover and Paddy is Fee's husband．5．（6分）Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Exhibition TourOverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is the world's largest exhibition devoted to

and in November．6．（8分）The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing ﹣Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn，but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service，which doesn't have any physical product at all．What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users' friendships and social lives．Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities，but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through．Even without knowing what was in the messages，the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be．What political journalist，what party whip，would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May's enemies are currently plotting？It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns，but the records of which customers have purchased what．Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power．But it is clumsy．For one thing，it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy．By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace，to be replaced by new abuses of power．But there is a deeper conceptual problem，too．Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don't pay for them．The users of their services are not their customers．That would be the people who buy advertising from them ﹣and Facebook and Google，the two virtual giants，dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies．The product they're selling is data，and we，the users，convert our lives to data for thebenefit of the digital giants．Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed，so Google farms us for the data that our digital liver yield．Ants keep enemy insects away from where their aphids（蚜虫）feed；Gmail keeps the spammers out of our inboxes．It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship，even if both sides benefit．（1）According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its．A．digital productsB．user informationC．physical assetsD．quality service（2）Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities mayA．worsen political disputesB．mess up customer recordsC．pose a risk to Facebook usersD．mislead the European commission（3）Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because A．they are no defined as customersB．they are not financially reliableC．these services are generally digitalD．the services are paid for by advertisers（4）The ants analogy is used to illustrateA．a win﹣win business model between digital giantsB．a typical competition pattern among digital giantsC．the benefits provided for digital giants' customersD．the relationship between digital giants and their usersSection C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully.

Summary Writing 10%8．（10分）Directions：Read the following passage．Summarize the main idea and the main point （s）of the passage in no more than 60 words．Use your own words as far as possible．The benefits of having a higher education are manifold（多样的）and range from financial to cultural and from common benefits to some unexpected surprises，below you will find a number of reasons which will help to serve asjustification for a higher education．For many high school students，it is hard to imagine what the long term benefits of a college education might be．College is demanding；the work seems challenging，and meeting all new people seems overwhelming．However，what most young people do not realize is that there is a high likelihood at college that you will find new friends with similar interests and values，You may find yourself developing new interests by getting along with those who have completely different life experiences．As opportunity to get to know your professors can also be counted one of the benefits of having a college education．These intellectuals can be counted on to welcome questions and discussion from students．Therefore，one of the key benefits of a college education is the social bonds created and developed during this unique time in a person's life．Besides，the fact that you'll be building a career for the rest of your life is reason enough to make time for a college education．Indeed，a clear benefit of a college education is that not only will it give you time to better know your likes and dislikes before entering the labor force，it will also enhance the likelihood of a more successful career for you．Many young people are uncertain about a career path at the start of college．This is a time of exploration，and taking the time to explore a variety of college majors is time well spent．One more justification for higher education could be that its best way to enhance yourself in an all﹣round way．Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay for your personal advancement，because perhaps more than anything else，what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future．You never know where your talent could reach．So higher education can provide you can with the chance to realize your personal value．Therefore never undervalue the benefits of entering a higher education，which surely will bring you something beyond expectation．V.

Oh，God! My poor，poor Frank!"Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee，pack your things．We'll go to see him．"She half﹣rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go，" she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well﹣his pride，his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us？"Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"Yes，Paddy，do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"（1）Paddy cried because he thought．A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB．Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC．what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character（2）The underlined sentence "She half﹣rose before sinking back…" in

between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish（3）What can be inferred from the passage？A．The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer's Sentence of Life Imprisonment．B．The police found Gumming unconscious，heavily struck by Frank．C．The family didn't find out what had happened to Frank until 3years later．D．Frank didn't want his family to know the sentence to him，most probably out of his pride．（4）What is Frank and Paddy's probable relationship with Fee？A．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's brother．B．Frank is Fee's son and Paddy is Fee's husband．C．Frank is Fee's brother and Paddy is Fee's lover．D．Frank is Fee's lover and Paddy is Fee's husband．5．（6分）Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and Exhibition TourOverviewShakespeare's Globe Exhibition is the world's largest exhibition devoted to

and in November．6．（8分）The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing ﹣Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn，but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service，which doesn't have any physical product at all．What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users' friendships and social lives．Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities，but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through．Even without knowing what was in the messages，the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be．What political journalist，what party whip，would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May's enemies are currently plotting？It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns，but the records of which customers have purchased what．Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power．But it is clumsy．For one thing，it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy．By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace，to be replaced by new abuses of power．But there is a deeper conceptual problem，too．Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don't pay for them．The users of their services are not their customers．That would be the people who buy advertising from them ﹣and Facebook and Google，the two virtual giants，dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies．The product they're selling is data，and we，the users，convert our lives to data for thebenefit of the digital giants．Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed，so Google farms us for the data that our digital liver yield．Ants keep enemy insects away from where their aphids（蚜虫）feed；Gmail keeps the spammers out of our inboxes．It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship，even if both sides benefit．（1）According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its．A．digital productsB．user informationC．physical assetsD．quality service（2）Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities mayA．worsen political disputesB．mess up customer recordsC．pose a risk to Facebook usersD．mislead the European commission（3）Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because A．they are no defined as customersB．they are not financially reliableC．these services are generally digitalD．the services are paid for by advertisers（4）The ants analogy is used to illustrateA．a win﹣win business model between digital giantsB．a typical competition pattern among digital giantsC．the benefits provided for digital giants' customersD．the relationship between digital giants and their usersSection C 8%Directions：Read the passage carefully.
