The audience sat quietly while he made his way across the stage to his chair and began his play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. We thought that he would have to stop the concert. (25) ________ everyone’s expectation, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled (26) ________ conductor to begin again.The orchestra began and he played with such passion and such power and such purity (27) ________ they had never heard before.Of course, anyone knows that no one (28) ________ play a harmonious work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, (29) ________ that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose andcheered. He smile d, wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said in a quiet, sacred tone, ―You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with (30) ________ you have left.‖This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the definition of life –not just for artists but for all of us.He has prepared all his life to make music on a violin of four strings, but all of a sudden, in the middle of a concert, he finds himself with only three strings; so it is with three strings (31) ________ he makes music, and the music he made that night with just three strings was more memorable than any that (32) ________ (make) before.( B )Emoji — a small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, etc. in electronic communications, are everywhere. The little illustrated characters that are on Smartphone keyboards (33) ________ (take) over the world now. There are shoes with emoji on them, pants with emoji on them, emoji stickers, emoji yoga, and the list goes on and on with no sign of ending.A s emoji spreads into our culture, I’ve actually heard the following question：Is emoji moving to replace the written word in communication?To find out, I communicated by iMessage using only emoji for five days. That meant (34) ________ ________ someone sent me a text or I wanted to send a text, I could only use the popular tiny picture characters (35) ________ (respond) to or start a conversation.I wasn’t allowed to cheat by moving the conversatio n to Facebook or Twitter, etc., but I could send a phone emoji to indicate to the recipient of my texts that they should call me instead; I could not encourage the phone call myself. I wanted to see if it was (36) ________ (easy) than I expected it to be, yes, but I also wanted to see if I could influence (37) ________ I was communicating with to overthrow their use of text and start using emoji while talking to me.(38) ________ (communicate) with emoji was a way more difficult than I expected. There were people who were annoyed with me. There were people who gave up after a few back-and –forths. There were missed messages, (39) ________ (mix) messages, and messed up plans. There were people who immediately just called my phone to get the conversation (40) ________ (move) faster. And there was my mother who doesn’t have an iPhone and texts me often.Section 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.There’s nothing that will ruin your day faster than being stuck in a traffic jam all m orning, and it’s even worse when there’s(41) ________ no reason for it. There’s a lot of interesting science behind traffic, though, and while understanding it might not make sitting in it any better, it can teach you how to avoid some of the mistakes we all make behind the wheel.1. The way we merge (合并) causes problemsWhether you’re merging from the left or the right, (42) ________ are good that you’re doing it wrong and causing all sorts of problems. When most people see that they need to merge, their first (43) ________ is to do it right away. They brake, slow down, speed up, and change lanes in between oncoming traffic. According to the Minnesota department of Transportation, that’s completely wrong. Sudden (44) ________ causes traffic to back up, a p roblem that’s made worse by sudden lane changes and other cars braking to (45) ________ the merging traffic.So what should you do? Exactly what you probably blame drivers for doing: waiting until the last minute. If you do that, traffic will fall into a m ore natural pattern called a ―zipper merge‖, meaning there are no surprises, no sudden braking, and a smoother transition from one lane to another, which cuts down on backups. This does, of course, rely on other drivers to let you in at the last minute and be polite enough not to cut you off, which causes all sorts of other problems.2. You are causing the traffic Jams you hateTraffic jams have long been chalked up to (取决于) the (46) ________ of traffic on the roads, but it turns out that even heavy traffic can (47) ________ smoothly if people maintain a (48) ________ speed. The problem is that we can’t. Researchers have found that just one person even slightly stepping on their brakes can have a terrible effect on the traffic around them.On even (49) ________ busy road, it can be only a few minutes for traffic to a complete halt behind someone who (50) ________ their brakes to let another driver merge. The standstill usuallyoccurs several minutes after the braking, well after the person that causes the problem in the first place has gone on his way.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.Corporate scandals (丑闻), like political scandals, start with shocking revelation and then move inevitably into who-knew-what stage. This is where executives can start reestablishing their (51) ________ --or deepen the damage.Since they were forced to (52) ________ one of the biggest frauds (欺诈行为) in auto industry history last month, the executives at V olkswagen have offered (53) ________ and promised to fix the cheating devices wired into eleven millions of their diesel cars (柴油车). But they haven’t explained who ordered, (54) ________ and designed the software that enabled the cars to cheat on emissions tests while emitting (55) ________ on the road. Nor has Volkswagen said how and when it plans to fix the cars, which many customers bought in the belief that they were fuel (56) ________ and clean.On October 8, German prosecutors (检察官) broke into the corporate offices as part of their investigation. Meanwhile, Matthias Muller, the (57) ________ appointed chief executive, continued to insist that the former executive, Martin Winterkorn, who resigned shortly after the scandal, knew (58) ________. ―Do you really think that a chief executive had time for the inner functioning of engine software?‖ he said in a recent interview, as if the problem was some (59) ________ shortcoming and not an elaborate effort to (60) ________ regulators and customers around the world.If Mr. Winterkorn was not responsible, who was? Nobody believes that the handful of senior managers could have (61) ________ this scheme without any support. Hans-Dieter Potsch, a supervisory board chairman, issued a statement earlier this month, saying it would take time before V olkswagen could make (62) ________ the findings of its internal investigations. ―We must overcome the crisis,‖ he explained, ―but we must also ensure that Volkswagen continues to grow.‖ That seems to miss the point that V olkswagen will neither overcome the crisis nor grow unless itcan instantly produce some (63) ________ answers and explanations.Even if they manage to fix millions of cars, V olkswagen executives will still face an enormous (64) ________ from lawsuits, lost sales and the (65) ________ to V olkswagen’s reputation. There is no device to block the angry and urgent questions that they face. Apologizing is just the easy part.51. A. reputation B. revenge C. responsibility D. revolution52. A. commit B. recognize C. admit D. revise53. A. gratitude B. apologies C. guidance D. authorities54. A. approved B. chose C. withdrew D. undertook55. A. light B. ashes C. smell D. pollutants56.

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 )Poor bears comes to the UK, bringing only a red hat, a suitcase, a sandwich, and jars of marmalade (果酱) with him. Heading straight to a major London train station, he sits on his suitcase and stops passers-by from time to time in the hope of finding a free home.This is how Paddington Bear, the main character of the UK animated movie Paddington, is introduced to audiences. On March 3, during Prince William’s visit to China, he attended the Chinese premiere (首演) of the film in Shanghai.―Many Britons were raised on tales of Paddington, the second-best-known bear in fiction after Winnie the Pooh,‖ the Economist noted. While Winnie the Pooh reminds people of the innocence and simplicity of the past, ―the well- meaning Paddington always causes chaos when he goes through cultural misunderstandings.‖The movie, described as ―a total delight, as warm and welcome as a hot pair of socks on a winter morning‖ by the Telegraph, tells the story of the bear, who is sent to London by his family, after an earthquake destroys their home in Peru. At Paddington station, he meets Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown and their two kids. The Brown family name him Paddington, because they can’t say his Peruvian name. After the fuzzy (毛茸茸的) stranger enters the Browns’ home, he teaches everyone how to laugh and love. In the end, Mr. Brown says that ―even if he’s from a differe nt species, he’s still family.‖As Phoenix magazine put it, ―The story shows British sympathy and kindness‖ as the refugee Paddington is given a new home and a loving family in London.Released at a time when immigration is a hot topic in the UK, ―Paddingt on has a very clear message: welcome the other into your home‖, the Philadelphia Inquirer noted.And Paddington Bear is also a great example of the traditional politeness that British people are well known for. For example, Paddington Bear calls people ―Mr.‖, ―Mrs.‖ and ―Miss‖, rarely using their first name. he also loves making small talk with people. For instance, Paddington often has polite conversations about unimportant things with people like his housekeeper.66. Which of the following statements about Paddington Bear is true?A. He is saved by the Brown family from an earthquake in Peru.B. With the help of the Brown family, he learns how to laugh and love.C. He is traditional and prefers to greet strangers using their first name.D. As an immigrant to the UK, he experiences many cultural misunderstandings.67. Which of the following words best describe the qualities of Paddington bear?A. kind and polite.B. innocent and unintelligent.C. humorous and optimistic.D. honest and straightforward.68. We can infer from the article that _________________.A. the tales of Paddington have reminded British people to be kind to those who immigrate tothe UKB. at the time when the Paddington stories were released, immigrants were not welcomed in theUKC. the Paddington stories once encouraged a large number of Germans to go to the UKD. Paddington’s British habit of making ―small talk‖ helped to enrich the German language69. According to the last paragraph, ―small talk‖ probably means _____________.A. polite greetings to unfamiliar peopleB. conversation about unimportant thingsC. conversations about other people’s private livesD. Arguments between close friends( B )70. What does the word ―infuriate‖ in paragraph 2 most mea n?A. annoy.B. remind.C. amuse. D impress.71. Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?A.Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport.B.Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson: LaCrosse.C.Marriott Detroit Airport. and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson: LaCrosse.72. Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?A.Yotel New York.B.Marriott Detroit Airport.C.Radisson: LaCrosse.D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.At Yotel New York, a robot will help you with all the check-in process.B.With its check-in app, you may enter your room in Marriott without a key.C.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal.D.The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in.( C )Scriptwriters love to complain. They are disrespected by producers, regarded dispensable (可有可无的) by directors, not duly credited by critics, treated like employees by actors – although few complain about b eing historically and chronically overpaid. Another thing they don’t complain about is ―the exhaustion of narrative‖, though it weighs very much on their minds. For scriptwriters to complain about the insufficiency of original ideas would be like a salesman complaining about a lack of inventory. It’s not good for business.Writers have always known there are a limited number of storylines. And it is increasingly difficult to get out in front of a viewer’s expectations. Almost every possible subject has not only been covered but covered exhaustively. How many hours of serial killer plot has the average viewer seen? Fifty? A hundred? This becomes painfully clear to any writer who attempts to orally tell his story (scriptwriter is closer to the oral tradition than it is to literature). Originality has always been in short supply. Does the proliferation (泛滥) of media mean that it is harder to be original today than it was 50 years ago? Well, yea. Today’s viewers live in a biosphere of narrative. Twenty-four-seven, multimedia, all the time. When a storyteller competes for a viewer’s attention, he not only competes with simultaneously occurring narratives, he competes with the variations of his own narrative. That’s real competition. This exhaustion of narrative is behind the rise of recent ―counter-narrative‖ entertainments, such as:1. Reality TV. Any regular viewer knows that reality television follows its own scripted formulas, but the appearance of being unscripted is essential to its appeal. Weary of so much predicable plot, the jaded viewer turns to reality.2. Anecdotal narrative. The attraction of films such as Slacker and its mumblecore progeny (呢喃类) is the enjoyment of watching behavior impeded by the artifice of plot. It is not ―fake‖, not ―designed‖ (although of course it is).3. Reenactment drama. Whether based on famous events or lesser-known ones, reenactment entertainment sells the premise that these events actually happened and were not cooked up by a staff of writers (though, again, if not actually cooked up, they were seasoned and served by writers).4. Video games. The ability of the viewer to participate in the storytelling process creates an illusion of non-plan.5. Mini-mini drama. Part of the appeal of three-to five-minute stories created for cellphones, YouTube and original programming is the illusion of not being crafted narratives. Just bits of life.6. Documentaries. A staple of filmed entertainment since its beginnings, documentaries, historically the poor cousins of commercial cinema, have grown in number and viewership, an increase owed in part to the desire of viewers to look beyond predictable narratives.Storytelling began as ceremony and evolved into ritual. It was commercialized in the medieval times, became big business in the 19th century and international industry in the 20th. The traditional concept of movies, a projected image in a dark room of viewers, feels increasingly old. Narrative will mutate (变异) and endure. Audio-visual entertainment is changing and narrative will change with it.74. According to the author, scriptwriters seldom complain of having ____________.A. been looked down upon by producersB. suffered the exhaustion of narrativeC. been considered unimportant by directorsD. been badly treated by actors and actresses75. In which of the following entertainment forms can the viewers take part in its narrativeprocess?A. Reenactment.B. Video games.C. Mini-mini drama.D. Documentaries.76. Which of the following statements is TRUE to the fact?A. Narrative became commercialized in the middle age.B. Storytelling became commercialized after the Middle Ages.C. Narrative became a worldwide industry in the 19th century.D. Storytelling grew into large business in the 20th century.77. Which of the following statements is NOT in agreement with the author’s ideas?A. Scriptwriting is nearer to the oral tradition than it is to literature.B. Narrative exhaustion is responsible for the rise of anti-narrative entertainment.C. It is less difficult to be original today than it was half a century ago.D. The appearance of being unscripted is important to the appeal of Reality TV.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Plans kick off soonFor years, Chinese soccer fans have rarely had the chance to cheer for a triumph from the national team. However, hope for Chinese soccer has been ignited (点燃) recently, as the government released an overall reform plan to boost the development of soccer in China on march 16.By 2025, 50000 elementary and middle schools will include soccer in the curriculum. According to the plan, students will be given textbooks that teach the positions of players and soccer tactics (战术). They will also be encouraged to form soccer teams and participate in competitions regularly. The extraordinary young players will be enrolled into local leagues and training camps, helping to build up a large soccer talent pool.Chinese soccer, with the national team currently ranked at No 83 in the world, has been lagging behind many other countries for a long time. Critics say the biggest reason is a lack of a well-built youth training system, which is the key to creating a strong soccer culture, according to the BBC.Take Spain, a team that has dominated the world of soccer for a long time, as an example. It has the world’s best soccer school, La Masia. This FC Barcelona youth academy is widely known for producing skillful and creative soccer talents. Teams in the academy are divided into 12 levels, from U8(for players under 8 years old) to U19. Its talent scouts (星探) are stationed around the world, always looking for boys who show outstanding potential for soccer. Studying there is free of charge. A talented 10-year-old boy can walk into La Masia and come out eight years later as a superstar.The rising soccer giant Germany also knows the importance of youth training. Germany scored only one goal at the 2000 European Championships, which started a national discussion over why the country could no longer produce good, young players. So in 2001, the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (甲级联赛) clubs set up academies with youth teamsfrom U12 to U23. The clubs now spend over 100 million on youth development each year. And they have successfully raised the standards of young German players.In 26-year-old midfielder Thomas Muwller, 25 year-old midfielder Toni Kroos and 33-year-old full back Philipp Lahm, for instance, the world has witnessed Bayern’s youth work paying off handsomely.―Youth is the key to China’s soccer, as late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said‖ but it takes time to gain results,‖ said President Xi Jinping in 2014, ―China’s soccer dream looks far away, but we cannot stop.‖(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 13 WORDS)78. What is the detail of China’s soccer reform plan?79. According to critics, why has Chinese soccer been left behind many other countries?80. La Masia in Barcelona is well famous for____________________________ .81. _________________________ has raised the young German players.第Ⅱ卷(共47分)I.

If you do that, traffic will fall into a more natural pattern called a “zipper merge”,meaning there are no surprises, no sudden braking, and a smoother transition from one lane to another, which cuts down on backups. This does, of course, rely on other drivers to let you in at the last minute and be polite enough not to cut you off, which causes all sorts of other problems.2. You are causing the traffic Jams you hateTraffic jams have long been chalked up to (取决于) the (46) ________ of traffic on the roads, but it turns out that even heavy traffic can (47) ________ smoothly if people maintain a (48) ________ speed. The problem is that we can’t. Researchers have found that just one person even slightly stepping on their brakes can have a terrible effect on the traffic around them.On even (49) ________ busy road, it can be only a few minutes for traffic to a complete halt behind someone who (50) ________ their brakes to let another driver merge. The standstill usually occurs several minutes after the braking, well after the person that causes the problem in the first place has gone on his way.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ACorporate scandals(丑闻), like political scandals, start with shocking revelation and then move inevitably into who-knew-what stage. This is where executives can start reestablishing their (51) ________ --or deepen the damage.Since they were forced to (52) ________ one of the biggest frauds(欺诈行为) in auto industry history last month, the executives at V olkswagen have offered (53) ________ and promised to fix the cheating devices wired into eleven millions of their diesel cars (柴油车). But they haven’t explained who ordered, (54) ________ and designed the software that enabled the cars to cheat on emissions tests while emitting (55) ________ on the road. Nor has Volkswagen said how and when it plans to fix the cars, which many customers bought in the belief that they were fuel (56) ________ and clean.On October 8, German prosecutors (检察官) broke into the corporate offices as part of their investigation. Meanwhile, Matthias Muller, the (57) ________ appointed chief executive, continued to insist that the former executive, Martin Winterkorn, who resigned shortly after the scandal, knew (58) ________. “Do you really think that a chief executive had time for the inner functioning of engine software?” he said in a recent interview, as if the problem was some (59) ________ shortcoming and not an elaborate effort to (60) ________ regulators and customers around the world.If Mr. Winterkorn was not responsible, who was? Nobody believes that the handful of senior managers could have (61) ________ this scheme without any support. Hans-Dieter Potsch, a supervisory board chairman, issued a statement earlier this month, saying it would take time before V olkswagen could make (62) ________ the findings of its internal investigations. “We must overcome the crisis,” he explained, “but we must also ensure that V olkswagen continues to grow.” That seems to miss the point that V olkswagen will neither overcome the crisis nor grow unless it can instantly produce some (63) ________ answers and explanations.Even if they manage to fix millions of cars, Volkswagen executives will still face an enormous (64) ________ from lawsuits, lost sales and the (65) ________ to V olkswagen’s reputation. There is no device to block the angry and urgent questions that they face. Apologizing is just the easy part.51. A. reputation B. revenge C. responsibility D. revolution52.

A. response B. blow C. solution D. keySection B( A )Poor bears comes to the UK, bringing only a red hat, a suitcase, a sandwich, and jars of marmalade(果酱) with him. Heading straight to a major London train station, he sits on his suitcase and stops passers-by from time to time in the hope of finding a free home.This is how Paddington Bear, the main character of the UK animated movie Paddington, is introduced to audiences. On March 3, during Prince William’s visit to China, he attended the Chinese premiere (首演) of the film in Shanghai.“Many Britons were raised on tales of Paddington, the second-best-known bear in fiction after Winnie the Pooh,” the Economist noted. While Winnie the Pooh reminds people of the innocence and simplicity of the past, “the well- meaning Paddington always causes chaos when he goes through cultural misunderstandings.”The movie, described as “a total delight, as warm and welcome as a hot pair of socks on a winter morning” by the Telegraph, tells the story of the bear, who is sent to London by his family, after an earthquake destroys their home in Peru. At Paddington station, he meets Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown and their two kids. The Brown family name him Paddington, because they can’t say his Peruvian name. After the f uzzy (毛茸茸的) stranger enters the Browns’ home, he teaches everyone how to laugh and love. In the end, Mr. Brown says that “even if he’s from a different species, he’s still family.”As Phoenix magazine put it, “The story shows British sympathy and kindness” as the refugee Paddington is given a new home and a loving family in London.Released at a time when immigration is a hot topic in the UK, “Paddington has a very clear message: welcome the other into your home”, the Philadelphia Inquirer noted.And Paddington Bear is also a great example of the traditional politeness that British people are well known for. For example, Paddington Bear calls people “Mr.”, “Mrs.” and “Miss”, rarely using their first name. he also loves making small talk with people. For instance, Paddington often has polite conversations about unimportant things with people like his housekeeper.66. Which of the following statements about Paddington Bear is true?A. He is saved by the Brown family from an earthquake in Peru.B. With the help of the Brown family, he learns how to laugh and love.C. He is traditional and prefers to greet strangers using their first name.D. As an immigrant to the UK, he experiences many cultural misunderstandings.67. Which of the following words best describe the qualities of Paddington bear?A. kind and polite.B. innocent and unintelligent.C. humorous and optimistic.D. honest and straightforward.68. We can infer from the article that _________________.A. the tales of Paddington have reminded British people to be kind to those who immigrate tothe UKB. at the time when the Paddington stories were released, immigrants were not welcomed in theUKC. the Paddington stories once encouraged a large number of Germans to go to the UKD. Paddington’s British habit of making “small talk” helped to enrich the German language69. According to the last paragraph, “small talk” probably means _____________.A. polite greetings to unfamiliar peopleB. conversation about unimportant thingsC. conversations about other people’s private livesD. Arguments between close friends( B )4 Hotels That Will Make Your Life EasierBY JOHN BRANDONFor the business traveler who is all about efficiency: Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble.When you are pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.1. Yotel New YorkThe self-service kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones you’d see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key. There is even a robotic luggage bellboy. You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say, for a day trip). This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do, like me, is head to a series of meetings.2. Marriott Detroit AirportAnother option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iphone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.3. Hyatt Regency MinneapolisI happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about three minutes, when I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out. An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.4. Radisson: LaCrosseThe Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster, at a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by70. What does the word “infuriate” in paragraph 2 most mean?A. annoy.B. remind.C. amuse. D impress.71. Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?A.Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport.B.Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson: LaCrosse.C.Marriott Detroit Airport. and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson: LaCrosse.72. Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?A.Yotel New York.B.Marriott Detroit Airport.C.Radisson: LaCrosse.D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.At Yotel New York, a robot will help you with all the check-in process.B.With its check-in app, you may enter your room in Marriott without a key.C.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal.D.The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in.( C )Scriptwriters love to complain. They are disrespected by producers, regarded dispensable (可有可无的) by directors, not duly credited by critics, treated like employees by actors – although few complain about being historically and chronically overpaid. Another thing they don’t complain about is “the exhaustion of narrative”, though it weighs very much on their minds. For scriptwriters to complain about the insufficiency of original ideas would be like a salesman complaining about a lack of inventory. It’s not good for business.Writers have always known there are a limited number of storylines. And it is increasingly difficult to get out in front of a viewer’s expectations. Almost every possible subject has not only been covered but covered exhaustively. How many hours of serial killer plot has the average viewer seen? Fifty? A hundred? This becomes painfully clear to any writer who attempts to orally tell his story (scriptwriter is closer to the oral tradition than it is to literature). Originality has always been in short supply. Does the proliferation (泛滥) of media mean that it is harder to be original today than it was 50 years ago? Well, yea. Today’s viewers live in a biosphere of narrative. Twenty-four-seven, multimedia, all the time. When a storyteller competes for a viewer’s attention, he not only competes with simultaneously occurring narratives, he competes with the variations of his own narrative. That’s real competition. This exhaustion of narrative is behind the rise of recent “counter-narrative” entertainments, such as:1. Reality TV. Any regular viewer knows that reality television follows its own scripted formulas, but the appearance of being unscripted is essential to its appeal. Weary of so much predicable plot, the jaded viewer turns to reality.2. Anecdotal narrative. The attraction of films such as Slacker and its mumblecore progeny (呢喃类) is the enjoyment of watching behavior impeded by the artifice of plot. It is not “fake”, not “designed” (although of course it is).3. Reenactment drama. Whether based on famous events or lesser-known ones, reenactment entertainment sells the premise that these events actually happened and were not cooked up by a staff of writers (though, again, if not actually cooked up, they were seasoned and served by writers).4. Video games. The ability of the viewer to participate in the storytelling process creates an illusion of non-plan.5. Mini-mini drama. Part of the appeal of three-to five-minute stories created for cellphones, YouTube and original programming is the illusion of not being crafted narratives. Just bits of life.6. Documentaries. A staple of filmed entertainment since its beginnings, documentaries, historically the poor cousins of commercial cinema, have grown in number and viewership, an increase owed in part to the desire of viewers to look beyond predictable narratives.Storytelling began as ceremony and evolved into ritual. It was commercialized in the medieval times, became big business in the 19th century and international industry in the 20th. The traditional concept of movies, a projected image in a dark room of viewers, feels increasingly old. Narrative will mutate(变异) and endure. Audio-visual entertainment is changing and narrative will change with it.74. According to the author, scriptwriters seldom complain of having ____________.A. been looked down upon by producersB. suffered the exhaustion of narrativeC. been considered unimportant by directorsD. been badly treated by actors and actresses75. In which of the following entertainment forms can the viewers take part in its narrativeprocess?A. Reenactment.B. Video games.C. Mini-mini drama.D. Documentaries.76. Which of the following statements is TRUE to the fact?A. Narrative became commercialized in the middle age.B. Storytelling became commercialized after the Middle Ages.C. Narrative became a worldwide industry in the 19th century.D. Storytelling grew into large business in the 20th century.77. Which of the following statements is NOT in agreement with the author’s ideas?A. Scriptwriting is nearer to the oral tradition than it is to literature.B. Narrative exhaustion is responsible for the rise of anti-narrative entertainment.C. It is less difficult to be original today than it was half a century ago.D. The appearance of being unscripted is important to the appeal of Reality TV.Section CPlans kick off soonFor years, Chinese soccer fans have rarely had the chance to cheer for a triumph from the national team. However, hope for Chinese soccer has been ignited(点燃) recently, as the government released an overall reform plan to boost the development of soccer in China on march 16.By 2025, 50000 elementary and middle schools will include soccer in the curriculum. According to the plan, students will be given textbooks that teach the positions of players and soccer tactics(战术). They will also be encouraged to form soccer teams and participate in competitions regularly. The extraordinary young players will be enrolled into local leagues and training camps, helping to build up a large soccer talent pool.Chinese soccer, with the national team currently ranked at No 83 in the world, has been lagging behind many other countries for a long time. Critics say the biggest reason is a lack of a well-built youth training system, which is the key to creating a strong soccer culture, according to the BBC.Take Spain, a team that has dominated the world of soccer for a long time, as an example. It has the world’s best soccer school, La Masia. This FC Barcelona youth academy is widely known for producing skillful and creative soccer talents. Teams in the academy are divided into 12 levels, from U8(for players under 8 years old) to U19. Its talent scouts (星探) are stationed around the world, always looking for boys who show outstanding potential for soccer. Studying there is free of charge. A talented 10-year-old boy can walk into La Masia and come out eight years later as a superstar.The rising soccer giant Germany also knows the importance of youth training. Germany scored only one goal at the 2000 European Championships, which started a national discussion over why the country could no longer produce good, young players. So in 2001, the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (甲级联赛) clubs set up academies with youth teams from U12 to U23. The clubs now spend over 100 million on youth development each year. And they have successfully raised the standards of young German players.In 26-year-old midfielder Thomas Muwller, 25 year-old midfielder Toni Kroos and 33-year-old full back Philipp Lah m, for instance, the world has witnessed Bayern’s youth work paying off handsomely.“Youth is the key to China’s soccer, as late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said” but it takes time to gain results,” said President Xi Jinping in 2014, “China’s soccer dream looks far away, but we cannot stop.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 13 WORDS) 78. What is the detail of China’s soccer reform plan?79. According to critics, why has Chinese soccer been left behind many other countries?80. La Masia in Barcelona is well famous for____________________________ .81. _________________________ has raised the young German players.第Ⅱ卷I.

2010-2023历年上海市金山区高三上学期期末考试(高考一摸)英语试卷(带解析)
2010-2023历年上海市金山区高三上学期期末考试（高考一摸）英语试卷（带解析）第1卷一.参考题库(共25题)1.Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Be well-organized.B. Close with a Q & A.C. Don’t be contradictory .D. Bring it to a specific end.E. Speak slowly and pause.F. Drop unnecessary words.Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:【小题1】When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.【小题2】Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.【小题3】Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus(责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily.You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organize.【小题4】Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.【小题5】Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time. ”2.Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: "The hand took hold of the ball"), the same mirror neurons weretriggeredas when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互动). Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why.【小题1】Mirror neurons can explain _________.A．why we cry when we are hurtB．why we cough when we suffer from a coldC．why we smile when we see someone else smileD．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late【小题2】The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “_________”.A．set offB．cut offC．built upD．broken up【小题3】We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _________. A．relate to human behavior and interactionB．control human physical actions and feelingsC．result in bad behavior and social disordersD．determine our knowledge and language abilities【小题4】What is the passage mainly about?A．Ways to find mirror neurons.B．Problems of mirror neurons.C．Existence of mirror neurons.D．Functions of mirror neurons.3.We were aware that, _____, the situation will get worse.A．if not dealing with carefullyB．if dealt not carefully withC．if not carefully dealt withD．if not carefully dealing with4.Fastest Time to Run 100 Miles on a Treadmill (跑步机)BROKENThe fastest time to run 100 miles on a treadmill by a team (of 12) is claimed at 9hr 5 min 17 sec by a team consisting of staff and prisoners at the Young Offenders Institute in Wigan to raise money for Children in Need.Largest Game of Chinese WhispersUNBROKENSadly, the record attempt for the largest game of Chinese Whispers was unsuccessful on 13 November 2008. The existing record of 1330 children still remains.Fastest Mile with an Egg/Spoon in both handsBROKENThe fastest mile egg and spoon race with both hands is 8 min 25 sec and was achieved by Ashrita Furman (USA) in an attempt broadcast by ESPN 260, at Disney’s Wide World of Sports, in Orlando, Florida, USA, on 13 November 2008.Longest Mexican WaveUNBROKENThe record for the Longest Mexican Wave was attempted by 250,000 people on the streets of Adelaide on 8 November 2008 – sadly, the wave was not completed by all participants and the attempt was unsuccessful. The current record of 157, 574 remains.Largest Kebab (烤肉串)BROKENThe longest kebab measures 2047.47 m (1.27 miles) and was achieved by the ArcelorMittal Newcastle Works on occa sion of the company’s annual Community Day, in Newcastle, South Africa.【小题1】The above information is _________.A．a series of sports eventsB．a list of broken and unbroken recordsC．a report of funny sports itemsD．a description of challenging human limits【小题2】Which of the following can NOT be found in the information?A．The countries where the attempts were made.B．The persons who made the attempts.C．The reasons why some attempts failed.D．The present record for each item.【小题3】Which item was attempted individually?A．Fastest Time to Run 100 Miles on a TreadmillB．Largest Game of Chinese WhispersC．Fastest Mile with an Egg/Spoon in both handsD．Longest Mexican Wave5.However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and frustrate curricular objectives.Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principles have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmentalmathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways o f reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home. To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate (升华) his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a standard or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers’ conferences with parents are devoted to petty (不重要的) accounts of children’s misdeeds, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 14 WORDS)【小题1】Why do parents also have great influence on children?_____________________________________________________________________ ____ .【小题2】Through which ways can the teacher play an important role in enlightening parents?_____________________________________________________________________ ____ .【小题3】According to the teacher, that parents should let the boy____________________________ if he wants to sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels in teaching his son arithmetic.【小题4】A more creative approach is needed for ___________________of children out of classroom.6.A major new development in system of work in Britain is taking place. Flexible working hours, or “Flextime”, are catching on fast, and trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, this number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960’s, but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must present for certain “key” times in the d ay, and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.The system had proved a total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employer’s point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labour turnover and give workers a greater s ense of duty. At first, “Flexible” was mainly confined to white-collar workers, but it is now being applied to manual workers too.【小题1】According to “Flextime” system, workers need not _________.A．work at the same timeB．work all the weekdaysC．work hardD．ask for leave when being absent【小题2】“Key” time is a period when _________.A．visitors come to the plantsB．all workers must be at workC．employers go round in the workshopD．rush hours are over【小题3】No matter where it is used, this system has proved _________. A．entirely effectiveB．totally correctC．a complete failureD．quite difficult【小题4】One of the great advantages of “Flextime” for workers is that they_________.A．have a great sense of dutyB．can avoid busy trafficC．can get higher payD．can avoid working hard7.__________ her way through the excited crowd in the bookstore, the woman writer is surrounded by a group of admirers.A．To makeB．Having madeC．To be madeD．Making8.你的表弟Jack即将踏入高中学习，你写信给他。

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.( A )Playing a violin with three stringsOn Nov.18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert. The audience sat quietly while he made his way across the stage to his chair and began his play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. We thought that he would have to stop the concert. (25) ________ everyone’s expectation, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled (26) ________ conductor to begin again.The orchestra began and he played with such passion and such power and such purity (27) ________ they had never heard before.Of course, anyone knows that no one (28) ________ play a harmonious work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, (29) ________ that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. He smiled, wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said in a quiet, sacred tone, ―You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with (30) ________ you have left.‖This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the definition of life –not just for artists but for all of us.He has prepared all his life to make music on a violin of four strings, but all of a sudden, in the middle of ac o n c e r t,h e f i nd s h i m se lf w i t h o n l y t h r e e s t r i ng s;s o i t i s w i th t h r e e s t ri n g s(31) ________ he makes music, and the music he made that night with just three strings was more memorable than any that (32) ________ (make) before.( B )Emoji — a small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, etc. in electronic communications, are everywhere. The little illustrated characters that are on Smartphone keyboards (33) ________ (take) over the world now. There are shoes with emoji on them, pants with emoji on them, emoji stickers, emoji yoga, and the list goes on and on with no sign of ending. A s emoji spreads into our culture, I’ve actually heard the following question：Is emoji moving to replace the written word in communication?To find out, I communicated by iMessage using only emoji for five days. That meant (34) ________ ________ someone sent me a text or I wanted to send a text, I could only use the popular tiny picture characters (35) ________ (respond) to or start a conversation.I wasn’t allowed to cheat by moving the conversation to Facebook or Twitter, etc., but I could send a phone emoji to indicate to the recipient of my texts that they should call me instead; I could not encourage the phone call myself. I wanted to see if it was (36) ________ (easy) than I expected it to be, yes, but I also wanted to see if I could influence (37) ________ I was communicating with to overthrow their use of text and start using emoji while talking to me.(38) ________ (communicate) with emoji was a way more difficult than I expected. There were people who were annoyed with me. There were people who gave up after a few back-and –forths. There were missed messages, (39) ________ (mix) messages, and messed up plans. There were people who immediately just called my phone to get the conversation (40) ________ (move) faster. And there was my mother who doesn’t have an iPhone and texts me often.Section 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.when there’s (41) ________ no reason for it. There’s a lot of interesting science behind traffic, though, a nd while understanding it might not make sitting in it any better, it can teach you how to avoid some of the mistakes we all make behind the wheel.1. The way we merge (合并) causes problemsWhether you’re merging from the left or the right, (42) ________ ar e good that you’re doing it wrong and causing all sorts of problems. When most people see that they need to merge, their first (43) ________ is to do it right away. They brake, slow down, speed up, and change lanes in between oncoming traffic. According to the Minnesota department of Transportation, that’s completely wrong. Sudden (44) ________ causes traffic to back up, a problem that’s made worse by sudden lane changes and other cars braking to (45) ________ the merging traffic.So what should you do? Exactly what you probably blame drivers for doing: waiting until the last minute. If you do that, traffic will fall into a more natural pattern called a ―zipper merge‖,meaning there are no surprises, no sudden braking, and a smoother transition from one lane to another, which cuts down on backups. This does, of course, rely on other drivers to let you in at the last minute and be polite enough not to cut you off, which causes all sorts of other problems.2. You are causing the traffic Jams you hateTraffic jams have long been chalked up to (取决于) the (46) ________ of traffic on the roads, but it turns out that even heavy traffic can (47) ________ smoothly if people maintain a (48) ________ speed. The problem is that we can’t. Researchers have found that just o ne person even slightly stepping on their brakes can have a terrible effect on the traffic around them.On even (49) ________ busy road, it can be only a few minutes for traffic to a complete halt behind someone who (50) ________ their brakes to let another driver merge. The standstill usually occurs several minutes after the braking, well after the person that causes the problem in the first place has gone on his way.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.Corporate scandals (丑闻), like political scandals, start with shocking revelation and then move inevitably into who-knew-what stage. This is where executives can start reestablishing their (51) ________ --or deepen the damage.Since they were forced to (52) ________ one of the biggest frauds (欺诈行为) in auto industry history last month, the executives at V olkswagen have offered (53) ________ and promised to fix the cheating devices wired into eleven millions of their diesel cars(柴油车). But they haven’t explained who ordered, (54) ________ and designed the software that enabled the cars to cheat on emissions tests while emitting (55) ________ on the road. Nor has V olkswagen said how and when it plans to fix the cars, which many customers bought in the belief that they were fuel (56) ________ and clean.On October 8, German prosecutors(检察官) broke into the corporate offices as part of their investigation. Meanwhile, Matthias Muller, the (57) ________ appointed chief executive, continued to insist that the former executive, Martin Winterkorn, who resigned shortly after the scandal, knew (58) ________. ―Do you really think that a chief exec utive had time for the inner functioning of engine software?‖ he said in a recent interview, as if the p r o b l e m w a s s o m e (59) ________ shortcoming and not an elaborate effort to (60) ________ regulators and customers around the world.If Mr. Winterkorn was not responsible, who was? Nobody believes that the handful of senior managers could have (61) ________ this scheme without any support. Hans-Dieter Potsch, a supervisory board chairman, issued a statement earlier this month, saying it would take time before V olkswagen could make (62) ________ the findings of its internal investigations. ―We must overcome the crisis,‖ he explained, ―but we must also ensure that V olkswagen continues to grow.‖ That seems to miss the point that V olk swagen will neither overcome the crisis nor grow unless it can instantly produce some (63) ________ answers and explanations.Even if they manage to fix millions of cars, V olkswagen executives will still face an enormous (64) ________ from lawsuits, lost sales and the (65) ________ t o V olkswagen’s reputation.

A. response B. blow C. solution D. keySection 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 )Poor bears comes to the UK, bringing only a red hat, a suitcase, a sandwich, and jars of marmalade (果酱) with him. Heading straight to a major London train station, he sits on his suitcase and stops passers-by from time to time in the hope of finding a free home.This is how Paddington Bear, the main character of the UK animated movie Paddington, is introduced to audiences. On March 3, during Prince William’s visit to China, he attended the Chinese premiere (首演) of the film in Shanghai.―Many Britons were raised on tales of Paddington, the second-best-known bear in fiction after Winnie the Pooh,‖ the Economist noted. While Winnie the Pooh reminds people of the innocence and simplicity of the past, ―the well- meaning P addington always causes chaos when he goes through cultural misunderstandings.‖The movie, described as ―a total delight, as warm and welcome as a hot pair of socks on a winter morning‖ by the Telegraph, tells the story of the bear, who is sent to London by his family, after an earthquake destroys their home in Peru. At Paddington station, he meets Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown and their two kids. The Brown family namehim Paddington, because they can’t say his Peruvian name. After the f uzzy (毛茸茸的) stranger enters the Browns’ home, he teaches everyone how to laugh and love. In the end, Mr. Brown says that ―even if he’s from a different species, he’s still family.‖As Phoenix magazine put it, ―The story shows British sympathy and kindness‖ as the refugee Paddington i s given a new home and a loving family in London.Released at a time when immigration is a hot topic in the UK, ―Paddington has a very clear message: welcome the other into your home‖, the Philadelphia Inquirer noted.And Paddington Bear is also a great example of the traditional politeness that British people are well known for. For example, Paddington Bear calls people ―Mr.‖, ―Mrs.‖ and ―Miss‖, rarely using their first name. he also loves making small talk with people. For instance, Paddington often has polite conversations about unimportant things with people like his housekeeper.66. Which of the following statements about Paddington Bear is true?A. He is saved by the Brown family from an earthquake in Peru.B. With the help of the Brown family, he learns how to laugh and love.C. He is traditional and prefers to greet strangers using their first name.D. As an immigrant to the UK, he experiences many cultural misunderstandings.67. Which of the following words best describe the qualities of Paddington bear?A. kind and polite.B. innocent and unintelligent.C. humorous and optimistic.D. honest and straightforward.68. We can infer from the article that _________________.A. the tales of Paddington have reminded British people to be kind to those who immigrate to the UKB. at the time when the Paddington stories were released, immigrants were not welcomed in the UKC. the Paddington stories once encouraged a large number of Germans to go to the UKD. Paddington’s British habit of making ―small talk‖ helped to enrich the German language69. According to the last paragraph, ―small talk‖ probably means _____________.A. polite greetings to unfamiliar peopleB. conversation about unimportant thingsC. conversations about other people’s private liv esD. Arguments between close friends1. Yotel New YorkThe self-service kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones you’d see atan airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key. There is even a roboticluggage bellboy. You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes, then wait for a robotarm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say, for a day trip). This also speeds up thecheck-in process if the first thing you need to do, like me, is head to a series of meetings.2. Marriott Detroit Airport70. What does the word ―infuriate‖ in paragraph 2 most mean?A. annoy.B. remind.C. amuse. D impress.71. Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?A.Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport.B.Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson: LaCrosse.C.Marriott Detroit Airport. and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson: LaCrosse.72. Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?A.Yotel New York.B.Marriott Detroit Airport.C.Radisson: LaCrosse.D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.At Yotel New York, a robot will help you with all the check-in process.B.With its check-in app, you may enter your room in Marriott without a key.C.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal.D.The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in.( C )Scriptwriters love to complain. They are disrespected by producers, regarded dispensable(可有可无的) by directors, not duly credited by critics, treated like employees by actors –although few complain about being historically and chronically overpaid. Another thing they don’t complain about is ―the exhaustion of narrative‖, though it weighs very much on their minds. For scriptwriters to complain about the insufficiency of original ideas would be like a salesman complaining about a lack of inventory. It’s not good for business.Writers have always known there are a limited number of storylines. And it is increasingly difficult to get out in front of a viewer’s expectations. Almost every possible subject has not only been covered but covered exhaustively. How many hours of serial killer plot has the average viewer seen? Fifty? A hundred? This becomes painfully clear to any writer who attempts to orally tell his story (scriptwriter is closer to the oral tradition than it is to literature). Originality has always been in short supply. Does the proliferation (泛滥) of media mean that it is harder to be ori ginal today than it was 50 years ago? Well, yea. Today’s viewers live in a biosphere of narrative. Twenty-four-seven, multimedia, all the time. When a storyteller competes for a viewer’s attention, he not only competes with simultaneously occurring narrati ves, he competes with the variations of his own narrative. That’s real competition. This exhaustion of narrative is behind the rise of recent ―counter-narrative‖ entertainments, such as:1. Reality TV. Any regular viewer knows that reality television follows its own scripted formulas, but the appearance of being unscripted is essential to its appeal. Weary of so much predicable plot, the jaded viewer turns to reality.2. Anecdotal narrative. The attraction of films such as Slacker and its mumblecore progeny (呢喃类) is theenjoyment of watching behavior impeded by the artifice of plot. It is not ―fake‖, not ―designed‖ (although of course it is).3. Reenactment drama. Whether based on famous events or lesser-known ones, reenactment entertainment sells the premise that these events actually happened and were not cooked up by a staff of writers (though, again, if not actually cooked up, they were seasoned and served by writers).4. Video games. The ability of the viewer to participate in the storytelling process creates an illusion of non-plan.5. Mini-mini drama. Part of the appeal of three-to five-minute stories created for cellphones, YouTube and original programming is the illusion of not being crafted narratives. Just bits of life.6. Documentaries. A staple of filmed entertainment since its beginnings, documentaries, historically the poor cousins of commercial cinema, have grown in number and viewership, an increase owed in part to the desire of viewers to look beyond predictable narratives.Storytelling began as ceremony and evolved into ritual. It was commercialized in the medieval times, became big business in the 19th century and international industry in the 20th. The traditional concept of movies, a projected image in a dark room of viewers, feels increasingly old. Narrative will mutate(变异) and endure. Audio-visual entertainment is changing and narrative will change with it.74. According to the author, scriptwriters seldom complain of having ____________.A. been looked down upon by producersB. suffered the exhaustion of narrativeC. been considered unimportant by directorsD. been badly treated by actors and actresses75. In which of the following entertainment forms can the viewers take part in its narrative process?A. Reenactment.B. Video games.C. Mini-mini drama.D. Documentaries.76. Which of the following statements is TRUE to the fact?A. Narrative became commercialized in the middle age.B. Storytelling became commercialized after the Middle Ages.C. Narrative became a worldwide industry in the 19th century.D. Storytelling grew into large business in the 20th century.77. Which of the following statements is NOT in agreement with the author’s ideas?A. Scriptwriting is nearer to the oral tradition than it is to literature.B. Narrative exhaustion is responsible for the rise of anti-narrative entertainment.C. It is less difficult to be original today than it was half a century ago.D. The appearance of being unscripted is important to the appeal of Reality TV.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Plans kick off soonFor years, Chinese soccer fans have rarely had the chance to cheer for a triumph from the national team. However, hope for Chinese soccer has been ignited (点燃) recently, as the government released an overall reform plan to boost the development of soccer in China on march 16.By 2025, 50000 elementary and middle schools will include soccer in the curriculum. According to the plan, students will be given textbooks that teach the positions of players and soccer tactics(战术). They will also be encouraged to form soccer teams and participate in competitions regularly. The extraordinary young players will be enrolled into local leagues and training camps, helping to build up a large soccer talent pool.Chinese soccer, with the national team currently ranked at No 83 in the world, has been lagging behind many other countries for a long time. Critics say the biggest reason is a lack of a well-built youth training system, which is the key to creating a strong soccer culture, according to the BBC.Take Spain, a team that has dominated the world of soccer for a long time, as an example. It has the world’s best soccer school, La Masia. This FC Barcelona youth academy is widely known for producing skillful and creative soccer talents. Teams in the academy are divided into 12 levels, from U8(for players under 8 years old) to U19. Its talent scouts(星探) are stationed around the world, always looking for boys who show outstanding potential for soccer. Studying there is free of charge. A talented 10-year-old boy can walk into La Masia and come out eight years later as a superstar.The rising soccer giant Germany also knows the importance of youth training. Germany scored only one goalat the 2000 European Championships, which started a national discussion over why the country could no longer produce good, young players. So in 2001, the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (甲级联赛) clubs set up academies with youth teams from U12 to U23. The clubs now spend over 100 million on youth development each year. And they have successfully raised the standards of young German players.In 26-year-old midfielder Thomas Muwller, 25 year-old midfielder Toni Kroos and 33-year-old full back Philipp Lahm, for instance, the world has witnessed Bayern’s youth work paying off handsomely.―Youth is the key to China’s soccer, as late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said‖ but it takes time to gain res ults,‖ said President Xi Jinping in 2014, ―China’s soccer dream looks far away, but we cannot stop.‖(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 13 WORDS)78. What is the detail of China’s soccer reform plan?79. According to critics, why has Chinese soccer been left behind many other countries?80. La Masia in Barcelona is well famous for____________________________ .81. _________________________ has raised the young German players.第Ⅱ卷(共47分)I.

Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 41 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems throughthe most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 42More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 43 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 44 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 45 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 46 . For example, think of a(n) 47 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 48 light where it is needed.From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 49 the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的) thinking. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 50 the toothpaste onto our brush.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fillin each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 withjust a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses.

For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.“Is it good?” I asked her.“Yeah,” she answered. “There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.“‘Patty Poem,’” she read the title. Who is Patty? I wondered. The poem began:She never puts her toys away,Just leaves them scattered①where they lay,…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:When she grows and gathers poise②, ②稳重I’ll miss her harum-scarum③noise, ③莽撞的And look in vain④for scattered toys. ④徒劳地And I’ll be sad.A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.“It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.“What’s wrong?” my mother asked.“Oh Mama,” I cried. “I don’t want to grow up ever!”She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay?”“Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.66. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again?A. It was a thick enough book.B. Something on its cover caught her eye.C. Her mother was reading it with interest.D. It has a meaningful title.67. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ______ at first.A. sadB. excitedC. horrifiedD. confused68. The writer’s mother liked to read “Patty Poem” probably because______.A. it reflected her own childhoodB. it was written in simple languageC. it was composed by a famous poetD. it gave her a hint of what would happen69. It can be concluded from the passage that“Patty Poem”leads the writer to _______.A. discover the power of poetryB. recognize her love for puzzlesC. find her eagerness to grow upD. experience great homesickness（B）Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference.changing atmosphere and set In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’sinternational limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided tocontinue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will getdepends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.3.5℃This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Parispromises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water anddrive over half of all species to extinction.2℃To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Eventhis increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number ofspecies.1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying islandnations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃could save them from sinking.0.8℃This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃point.0℃The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.70. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC. the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71. If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement, what would happen by the year 2100?A. The human population would increase by one third.B. Little over 50% of all species would still exist.C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.72. If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive, the maximum temperature rise, since the start ofthe industrial age, should be_______.A. 0.8℃B. 1.5℃C. 2℃D. 3.5℃(C)Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who havebeen examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Sci ence and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark(认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.says “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of theirterms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accuratereflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on avoluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We dothink they would,” know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in panother matter, he says.Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, butMiller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t k long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 he says.years’ time,” Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’ｔknow how companies will useour data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitem terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have toactually read them.73. What does the phrase “ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.74. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of76. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal information77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Say no to social media?B. New security rules in operation?C. Accept without reading?D. Administration matters!Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in thefewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion(拥堵) at some of thecountry’s busiest stations.In the first move of its kind, all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity(容量) at the height of the rush hour.A six-month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid-April, eliminating the rule of standing on theright and walking on the left. The move, imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong, isdesigned to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times . it could be expanded acrossthe Tube network in coming years.According to London Underground, only 40 percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators, leavingthe majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the “standing “side.A three-week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any one time of could be raised by almost a third. Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: “It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still, but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true. This new six-month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term.”Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4 high. Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up—meaning only one side was used at all times. Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5 to ban walking.The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2,500 people between 8:30am and 9:30am on a typical day, rising to 3,250 during the researching period.In the new trial, which will be launched from April 18, one of three “up”escalators will be standing only, with a second banning walking at peak times. A third will remain a mix of walkingand standing.(Note: Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left?79. What did last year’s three-week trial at Holborn station prove?80.The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least _________ in height.81. In the new trail, in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours, the other “up”escalators will be used for_________________.第II卷(共47分)I.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报。

exactly what you probably blame drivers for doing: waiting until the last minute. if you do that, traffic will fall into a more natural pattern called a ―zipper merge‖, meaning there are no surprises, no sudden braking, and a smoother transition from one lane to another, which cuts down on backups. this does, of course, rely on other drivers to let you in at the last minute and be polite enough not to cut you off, which causes all sorts of other problems.2. you are causing the traffic jams you hatetraffic jams have long been chalked up to (取决于) the (46)________ of traffic on the roads, but it turns out that even heavy traffic can (47) ________ smoothly if people maintain a (48) ________ speed. the problem is that we can’t. researchers have found that just one person even slightly stepping on their brakes can have a terrible effect on the traffic around them.on even (49) ________ busy road, it can be only a few minutes for traffic to a complete halt behind someone who (50)________ their brakes to let another driver merge. the standstill usually occurs several minutes after the braking, well after the person that causes the problem in the first place has gone on his way.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.corporate scandals (丑闻), like political scandals, start with shocking revelation and then move inevitably into who-knew-what stage. this is where executives can start reestablishing their (51) ________ --or deepen the damage.since they were forced to (52) ________ one of the biggest frauds (欺诈行为) in auto industry history last month, the executives at volkswagen have offered (53) ________ and promised to fix the cheating devices wired into eleven millions of their diesel cars (柴油车). but they haven’t explained who ordered, (54) ________ and designed the software that enabled the cars to cheat on emissions tests while emitting (55)________ on the road. nor has volkswagen said how and when it plans to fix the cars, which many customers bought in the belief that they were fuel (56) ________ and clean.on october 8, german prosecutors (检察官) broke into the corporate offices as part of their investigation. meanwhile, matthias muller, the (57) ________ appointed chief executive, continued to insist that the former executive, martin winterkorn, who resigned shortly after the scandal, knew (58)________. ―do you really think that a chief executive had time for the inner functioning of engine software?‖ he said in a recent interview, as if the problem was some(59) ________ shortcoming and not an elaborate effort to (60) ________ regulators and customers around the world.if mr. winterkorn was not responsible, who was?

Flexible working hours, or “Flextime”, are catching on fast, and trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, this number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960’s,but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must present for certain “key” timesin the day, and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.The system had proved a total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages:a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employer’s point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labour turnover and give workers a greater sense of duty. At first, “Flexible” was mainly confined to white-collar workers, but it is now being applied to manual workers too.1.According to “Flextime” system, workers need not _________.A．work at the sametime B．work all the weekdays C．workhard D．askfor leave when being absent2.“Key” time is a period when _________.A．visitors come to the plantsB．all workers must be at workC．employers go round in the workshopD．rush hours are over3.No matter where it is used, this system has proved _________.

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is abiological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: "The hand took hold of the ball"), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互动). Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why.1.Mirror neurons can explain _________.A．why we cry when we are hurtB．why we cough when we suffer from a coldC．why we smile when we see someone else smileD．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late2.The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “_________”.A．set off B．cutoff C．built up D．broken up3.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _________. A．relate to human behavior and interactionB．control human physical actions and feelingsC．result in bad behavior and social disordersD．determine our knowledge and language abilities4.What is the passage mainly about?A．Ways to find mirror neurons. B．Problems of mirror neurons.C．Existence of mirrorneurons. D．Functions of mirror neurons.SYS201304030845五、信息匹配详细信息22. 难度：中等Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Be well-organized.B. Close with a Q & A.C. Don’t be contradictory .D. Bring it to a specific end.E. Speak slowly and pause.F. Drop unnecessary words.Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speechis truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:1.When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.2.Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.3.Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You canarrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottomor by some other order. Just be sure to organize.4.Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other uselessnoises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sounduncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed thatthey can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that wasmarked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes.Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.5.Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q& A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over andwhen they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by settinga time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks foryour time. ”SYS201304030846六、其他题详细信息23. 难度：简单However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and frustrate curricular objectives.Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principles have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscriptwriting and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate (升华) his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a standard or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he willsoon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers’ conferences with parents are devoted to petty (不重要的) accounts of children’s misdeeds, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, p lants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 14 WORDS)1.Why do parents also have great influence on children?_________________________________________________________________________ .2.Through which ways can the teacher play an important role in enlightening parents?_________________________________________________________________________ .3.According to the teacher, that parents should let the boy____________________________ if he wants to sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels in teaching his son arithmetic.4.A more creative approach is needed for ___________________of children out of classroom.SYS20130403084详细信息24. 难度：中等Translate the following sentences into English, using the words givenin the brackets.1.他曾在当地一所学校工作。
