While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his followers, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”.The follower walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very dirty. The follower thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”.So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The follower obediently (顺从地) went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the follower and said, “See, you let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got clear water. It didn’t require any effort”.Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time and it will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. We can judge the best decisions of our life when we stay calm.24. Why did Buddha asked his follower to collect water?A. Because they were travelling.B. Because they were passing a river.C. Because Buddha was too tired to go on.D. Because Buddha wanted a drink.25. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?A. The tree.B. The lake.C. The mud.D. The pot.26. What can you infer about the follower?A. He is reliable and thoughtful.B. He is humorous and intelligent.C. He is hesitant and dependent.D. He is picky and impatient.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Trial and Error.B. Sometimes Just Let it Be.C. Buddha and His Follower.D. Efforts will Pay Off.CWhen I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise ( 乐园 ) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal ( 地热的 ) baths while the snow is falling on their head.The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper ( 野营车 ). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance to be always in the right place at the right time.There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times of hotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.28. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.C. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.D. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.29. What did the author think of the rented camper?A. It was convenient but cost them more money.B. It was not only practical but also economical.C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.D. It was much faster than other public transport.30. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.B. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.C. December is the coldest month of the year.D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.31.What does this passage most probably come from?A. A textbookB. A scientific reportC. A news reportD. A travel magazineDA research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors. So our aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver. Researcher Hod gson points out, “For safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It s a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are po tentially saved.”It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long believed. His company are determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2017 goal was “to do an example drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York…and have the car park itself.”However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needs further validation andthe appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet.The UK government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles. It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modem Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account problems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out, “More than 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human error.” This costs motor insurers a shocking £20m per day in claims.32. What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?A. New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.B. The company lacks confidence to make new creations.C. The software should be made officially acceptable.D. The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.33. What is the UK government’s attitude to autonomous cars?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.B. Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.C. Traffic accidents wastes insurance companies quite a lot.D. Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show his deep love for autonomous cars.B. To introduce a new development in technology.C. To amuse readers with funny examples.D. To provide a persuasive argument against autonomy.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AWorking in Detroit… rain, rain and more rain.I rushed to the airport only to find out from an airline ticket representative (机场地勤人员) that my return flight ticket was one hour later.As I cleared security, the progress of my flight went from departing one hour late to two hours, then three hours, then four hours late. I learned about these delays from the announcement given by an annoying airline gate agent.It became clear that I was going to miss my connecting flight home.After minute-to-minute travel rearrangements, and knowing that I had to give Web-based training the next morning back home, my husband Jim decided to drive to the airport, pick me up and drive me back.Jim and I arrived home at 4:30. I napped for a couple of hours, made coffee, jogged on to the Internet conference site for my training, and waited and waited and waited.It is lonely giving Web-based live meeting training when no one logs in. Do you know why they didn’t log in? Because I had actually scheduled the training for the next day, not the day that we had raced home to wait.I worried about telling Jim that he had held off sleep, driven through a huge storm and gotten through road construction to get me home 24 hours early for training. But the phone eventually rang as he called from work and it was time to own up (坦白).What do you think he said?What would you have said?Would you have scolded? Yelled? Teased? Would you have called all your friends and let them know?Well, Jim’s response to finding out that he had driven an almost 400-mile round trip in the rain for nothing was a slight chuckle (轻声低笑) and this comment: “The most important thing is you are home.”The most important thing is you are home…Today, remind someone how important it is that they are at home with you. If they live far away, tell them how important it is that they have a home in your heart.21. What trouble did the writer have?A. She was informed of the web-based training too late and was going to miss it.B. Her plane was delayed and she had to rearrange her connecting flight home.C. She failed to give the web-based training as no one was informed to log in ontime.D. She had a big argument with an annoying airline gate agent and missed her flight.22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The writer cancelled her web-based training permanently.B. The writer took it for granted that Jim would pick her up from the airport.C. Jim drove the writer all the way home from the airport to get her there in timefor her training.D. The writer caught her connecting flight and was back home in time for hertraining.23. The writer felt worried about owning up to Jim because _________.A. She knew he would get really upset and yell at her.B. She was afraid he might tell her friends.C. She was sorry that it had taken him so long to get home.D. She had mistaken the date for the training and he needn’t have picked her up.BWhen you eat out in a restaurant, it is not unusual to hear people yelling, “Let me get this one!” and sometimes see them pushing or arm wrestling to f ight for the privilege of paying the bill.These fighters are often very loud and active. Each person involved shows an honest desire to pick up the bill, and in the end, all the people at the table give the winner praise and gratitude.In fact, figuring out who will get the bill is always a headache for Chinese people at formal meals. Although the people hosting the meal are very likely to pay the check, it is a common practice to make a token effort to pay the bill, but you will embarrass them if you do end up actually chipping in some cash.In recent years, going Dutch has been embraced by many young people. But older generations who fear “losing face” still find it embarrassing and stingy (小气的) to calculate each person’s share of the bill. As travel guide brand Lonely Planet noted, it is considered “the height of unsophistication (不懂人情世故)”.But these days, thanks to digital payment apps, splitting the bill electronically is becoming a widely-accepted idea. Even people from older generations may be tempted to do so.By scanning a QR code and paying the share via social networking tool WeChat and e-commerce app Alipay on their smartphones in one easy click, urban Chinese are finding it easier to save them the embarrassment of figuring out each person’s payment when they order a meal.This function “has made going Dutch less hassle (麻烦) and more fun in China”, CNN noted.“Because of their convenience, many of us are never without our phones.” And person-to-person mobile payment services are incredibly easy to use and save thetrouble of dealing with change,” said 18-year-old student in China. “You can also leave funny notes using emoji (表情符号) like a bowl of rice or a cup of tea to describea meal that you have shared.”24. What is the article mainly about?A. The Chinese tradition of dining out with friends.B. A new trend of splitting the bill in China.C. How social networking tools have influenced our daily lives.D. Why people in China argue over who pays the bill when dining out.25. Many Chinese people make a token effort to pay the bill because .A. They don’t want to be considered unsophisticatedB. They want praise and gratitude from their friendsC. They consider it an honor to host the meal and pay the billD. They find it hard to work out how much each person needs to pay26. According to the article, what are the advantages of using digital payment appsto split the bill?a. They’re easier to use and more interesting.b. They save the trouble of dealing with change.c. They make it easier to figure out how much money each person had to pay.d. They make people less embarrassed to split the bill.A. a, bB. b. cC. a, b, dD. b, c, dCWhen you pull the plug in a filled bathtub, the draining（排除）water will create a small whirlpool（旋涡）as the tub empties into the pipe below. In 1980, residents on and around Lake Peigneur in Louisianna were frightened to see the lake itself mimicking the behavior of bathtub water. Something had gone horribly wrong , and the entire lake was draining. But to where?Lake Peigneur was located on top of a large salt mine. From the topside, an oilcompany was drilling for oil. The drilling crew had calculated that they were far enough away from the salt mine to safely drill, but they were wrong. Unfortunately, their 14-inch-wide drill bit pierced the salt mine beneath the bottom of the lake, and within hours, the entire lake had disappeared.Salt dissolves quickly in water, so the freshwater lake rapidly destroyed the structural support in the mine as it flooded down from above. Luckily, all of the miners were able to escape before the mine collapse (倒塌) truly got out of control. On the surface, the oil drillers were able to get off their rig (海上钻台) before it was swallowed by the gaping hole in the bottom of the lake.Lake Peigneur was about 10 feet deep and covered roughly 1,300 acres before the drilling incident. During the disaster, 11 nearby barges (驳船) were sucked into the mine, the canal leading to the Gulf of Mexico began to flow backward, and a 150-foot waterfall was created when the earth gave way under the pressure of the leaking lake. Buildings, homes, trees, and property were also swallowed whole.Once the 3.5 billion gallons of water in Lake Peigneur had filled the salt mine completely, nine of the eleven barges that had disappeared came back to the surface. The canal refilled the lake, and today it is a 1,300-foot-deep saltwater-1,290 feet deeper than it was back in 1980. Although there was a huge amount of property and land destruction, there were no deaths from this strange, man-made disaster.27. What does the underlined word “mimicking” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. FindingB. CopyingC. ChangingD. Disturbing28. The water from Lake Peigneur disappeared because it ______________ _.A. Flowed into the Gulf of MexicoB. Poured into an underground salt mineC. Was swept into the nearby canalD. Mixed with oil and was destroyed29. What caused the mine to collapse?A. The Gulf of Mexico canal flowing backwardB. The waterfall from the lakeC. The barges falling into the holeD. The water dissolving the salt in the ceiling30. What is the best title for the text?A. The Disappearing LakeB. A Mystery DisasterC. An Unexpected FindingD. The Discovery of a Saltwater Lake第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St. Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral（葡萄牙海军上将）of the same name in 1506and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.Coming in a close second—and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant island—is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor—Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly, by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moat, for which the island is most famous.On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory(智利领土). They share one street, a small airport and a few hours of television per day.21．It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha .A．was named after its discovererB．got its name from Holland settlersC．was named by the British governmentD．got its name from the Guinness Book of Records22．Which of the following is most famous for moat?A．Easter Island. B．Pitcairn Island.C．St. Helena. D．Tristan da Cunha.23．Which country does Easter Island belong to?A．Britain. B．Chile. C．Holland. D．Portugal.BChildren have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a refereeand rarely trouble to keep scores. They don't care much about who wins orloses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.24. What is true about children when they play games?A. They don't need rules.B. They want to pick a better team.C. They can test their personal abilities.D. They can stop playing any time they like.25. To become a leader in a game the child has to ________.A. play wellB. wait for his turnC. be confident in himselfD. be popular among his playmates26. The writer believes that ________.A. children play games without reasonsB. children's games can do them a lot of goodC. children should invite grown-ups to play with themD. children should make better rules for their gamesCBeing considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands, respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can‟t be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that‟s never forgotten.Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism(批评), which often hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees, “Catch people doing something right!” he says. Then tell everyone about it．Take in formed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,” says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. “Sky divers don‟t go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes beforehand.”Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail—and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.Encourage enthusiasm. “When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths,” says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energ y gets poured into the job. That‟s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself—You will be followed by everyone．27. The underlined word "cultivated" ( paragraph 1 ) roughly means ________.A. comparedB. developedC. examinedD. encouraged28. The part "Always give credit" tells us that a leader should ________.A. praise everyoneB. give helpful criticismC. regard others as real heroesD. praise people for their good performances29. To be a good leader, you should ________.A. not be afraid of any risksB. think twice before taking risksC. try to avoid any possible failuresD. know what a thoughtless exercise is30. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to Be a LeaderB. Not Many Can Be LeadersC. Leadership Is Very ImportantD. Leadership Is of Skills and Techniques第二节：七选五（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
