21．（6分）You already know that making a good first impression can go a long way. But forget all the advice you’ve received about dressing to impress or putting on a cheesy smile. It turns out that the true secret to building a lasting connection reaches much deeper than what you wear.According to Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School professor who has researched first impressions for more than15 years, everyone asks two questions when they meeting someone new: Can I trust this person? And can I respect this person?Both questions help you measure a person’s warmth and competence, respectively. But, Cuddy says, you should put gaining your peers’ trust over winning their respect—even in a workplace setting. “If someone you’re trying to influence doesn’t trust you, you’re not going to get very far; in fact, you might even draw suspection because you come across as a controller,” Cuddy wrote in her book Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. “A warm, trustworthy person who is also s trongly admired, but only after you’ve established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”But that’s not the only way you can start off on the right foot with a stranger. Your physical appearance matters, too. A 2017 study by psychologist Leslie Zebrowitz of Brandeis University found that people use four clues to judge your face: babyfacedness, familiarity, fitness, and emotional resemblance. While you can’t control all of these factors, you can improve your “emotional resemblance” by using body language that builds trust naturally.The next time you meet someone new, focus on gaining their trust—not winning them over with a firm handshake.1、What’s the main misunderstanding described in the first paragraph?A．dressing to impress.B．putting on a cheesy smile.C．making a good first impression.D．building a lasting connection.2、Which is more important in a workplace setting according to Amy Cuddy?A．gaining your peers’ trust.B．winning your peers’ respect.C．trying to influence your peers.D．drawing your peers’ suspection as a controller.3、What does Leslie Zebrowitz suggest in a 2017 study?A．Y ou can control your “fitness”.B．Y ou can control your “familiarity”.C．Y ou can improve your “babyfacedness”.D．Y ou can improve your “emotional resemblance”.4、What is the best title for the text?A．Judge one by a firmly-made handshakeB．Judge one by a naturally-built trustC．Judge one by the first impressionD．Judge one by the physical appearance22．（8分）At a time when almost anything can be purchase d with just one click, it’s become an automatic response to simply replace what breaks. Generations raised in the earlier half of the 20th century will say that this wasn’t always so: household appliances（器具）, clothing, electronics and more used to be bought under the assumption that, with the occasional repairs, they would last a lifetime.Now, some conscientious consumers are taking matters into their own hands and joining the Repair Café movement. Founded in Amsterdam in 2009 by sewing expert Martine Postma, the original nonprofit has expanded to more than1,20 locations worldwide. These pop-up events, which are run by volunteers, offer lessons in how to fix anything from fixing a button to an unresponsive laptop.“There’s juice and treats and you get to meet new people,” says Bennett, a retired civil servant and volunteer fixer at the Repair Cafe Toronto, where she mends jewellery. She brings her own specialized tools but says most items could be repaired by anyone with a pair of pliers and some determina tion. “Something that is broken took time and resources to make, so if you’re throwing it out, you’re wasting those resources. ”If you can’t find a Repair Cafe near you, it’s easy to start one. RepairCafe. org offers a starter manual withstep-by-step instructions.Changing how we acquire things is necessary, but there’s also something to be said for simply not getting them in the first place. “Most of us have more than what we need,” says Marina. “This can lead to a lot of anxiety, like—think about everyt hing packed in the back of your closet; do you own those things or do they own you?” She suggests we train ourselves to make mindful purchases.Lazarovic, whose delayed purchase went even further, explains that less shopping has freed up more time for family activities, dinner with friends and making art. By doing so, as she puts it, “I got out of that need-to-buy-it craze and in the end I feel good that I’ve made something.”1、How would people raised in the 1940s deal with broken home appliances?A．Sell them at a lower price. B．Press the button to find the fault.C．Repair them to last longer. D．Donate them to recycling stations.2、What does Bennett say about her work?A．She likes the good food people bring for her work.B．Helping make repairs means saving resources.C．She will set up her own Repair Cafe soon.D．She learned to repair jewels after she retired.3、Which of the following best explains “conscientious” underlined in Paragraph 2?A．Responsible. B．Generous.C．Powerful. D．Irreplaceable.4、What good does Lazarovic think less shopping will do to us?A．It’ll make us less anxious about used things at home.B．It’ll force us to make donations of unwanted things.C．It’ll lead us to explore the world more responsibly.D．It will provide us more time for beneficial events.23．（8分）Housekeeping Services -- A responsible, professional, experienced housekeeper is needed to take care of all cleaning details of a local business in Angwin.

Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years.At one point, my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey. Our neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens, asked if we would like one. We were a little apprehensive about Sam’s jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded, but we decided to risk it.We picked a little, gray, playful ball of Fur. She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye, so we named her Lightning.At first, Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance. But slowly, Lightning started following Sam — up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen. Later, when they slept, it was always together; when they ate, it was always next to each other. When I took either one out, the other was always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.Then, without any warning, Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart. I had no other choice but to have him put down. The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone. This time, there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again.In the following days, Lightning seemed heart-broken. I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door, or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark.One day as I walked into our living room, I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago, one arm wrapped around the statue’s neck, contentedly sleeping with her best friend.1、What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Shocked. B．Curious.C．Worried. D．Eager.2、How did Sam get along with Lightning at first?A．Lightning followed Sam everywhere it went.B．They fought with each other fiercely.C．They kept a certain distance from each other.D．Sam was unfriendly to Lightning.3、What can we infer from the text?A．Lightning knew Sam had died.B．Sam means a lot to Lightning.C．We took Lightning home to accompany Sam.D．Sam came back to stay with Lightning again.4、What can be the best title of the text?A．The Friendship between Sam and LightningB．The Coming of Sam and LightningC．The Death of Sam to LightningD．The Importance of Sam to Us25．（10分）Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi ThermostatSmart thermostats have become the face of smart home technology for most, but depending on what your home is like, it’s possible to say the ecobee3 is superior.Most of the smart thermostats carry the same benefits, including the ecobee3. They can learn your preferences and schedul es, and then adjust the temperature accordingly. They’re better-looking and more enjoyable to use than the basic pieces of plastic that occupy most households. Their very presence will probably make you more conscious about saving energy. And once you’re a ble to heat up or cool down your house from your phone, without having to get out of bed, you won’t want to go back.If you live in a larger household, the ecobee3 can be much more convenient—provided you pick up a couple more remote sensors. Yes, it gets pretty expensive at that point, but having those gives you effective control over the temperature in different rooms around your house. In comparison, other thermostats’ measurements are largely limited to the area in which they’ re installed (安装).If you live in a smaller place, that’s no big deal; the ecobee3 still has distinct advantages. It is touch-enabled and more spacious, making it less annoying when you want to enter a WiFi password, see weather information, and so on. Still, all the smart thermostats are pretty great. Which one is best just depends on whether you need a whole-home solution or a more straightforward one. For now, if it’s the former, go with the ecobee3.Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat with Remote Sensor, available at all shopping websites.1、What is the function of the ecobee3?A．Planning schedules. B．Making decoration.C．Adjusting temperatures. D．Storing information.2、According to the passage, one of the advantages of the ecobee3 is that ______.A．it can be operated easily by phone B．it has different sizesC．it is a product without using energy D．it follows the same pattern3、What makes the ecobee3 superior?A．It costs less than those similar products.B．It may work without access to WiFi networks.C．It is more effective with fewer remote sensors.D．It can control the temperature in a larger area.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）One Saturday afternoon，my mother was driving home．On the halfway，after 1 her credit card to buy something at the store near the gas station，she put her wallet on the top of the car just for a moment to2 my phone call．And then3 ，she forgot and drove off．When arriving home，she realized that and thought that the4 of getting it back was small．She was so 5 surprised when she found a 6 on the door from a person who said he and his friend found her wallet a few hours earlier．Patrick and Catherine saw the wallet in the middle of the road a few 7from the gas station．They stopped their car to 8 ．It was filled with all the things one usually kept in a wallet，including some 9 and other cash．However，no phone number，10 this，they managed to get a（an）11 from my mother's driving license，and without hesitation，they decided to drive to our home to 12 it．When my mother went to get the wallet she was so 13 and grateful．She 14 to give them some money as a（n）15 of gratitude，but they refused，saying that they were just glad to 16 my mother help．They were naturally 17 ，and they had a firm 18 in the Golden Rule as well．They drove over to my house because they realized the unpleasant and upset experience that the loss of a wallet and all its contents could19 ．I think they were really 20 and helpful．1、A．pulling out B．applying for C．paying for D．making out2、A．make B．answer C．hear D．send3、A．Carefully B．Ridiculously C．Obviously D．Deliberately4、A．amount B．expectation C．thought D．chance5、A．curiously B．joyfully C．willingly D．strangely6、A．sign B．signal C．note D．postcard7、A．stops B．hours C．squares D．blocks8、A．pick it up B．look it up C．take it up D．put it up9、A．pictures B．envelopes C．bills D．napkins10、A．Instead of B．Despite C．Without D．Beneath11、A．number B．photograph C．address D．index12、A．get B．check C．exchange D．return13、A．upset B．relieved C．fortunate D．warm﹣hearted14、A．intended B．advised C．demanded D．instructed15、A．feeling B．mood C．present D．expression16、A．offer B．share C．trust D．seek17、A．honest B．selfish C．frank D．creative18、A．courage B．faith C．support D．devotion19、A．fulfill B．ignore C．value D．cause20、A．ambitious B．civilized C．polite D．considerate第二节（每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
