第二部分:阅读理解(第一节20小题,第二节5小题;每小题2分,满分50分)
第一节:阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Wealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time.Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略).There are lessons in that time-honored coin-savings container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps.If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain,and could do it a day at a time,you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year.If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion,to collect the $15,000 cost,you have to save $3.93 a day.If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax,you will have your trip money.
When I was a child,my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that,if I wanted something,I should save money to buy it.We associate piggy banks with children,but in many countries,the little containers are also popular with adults.Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth.Around the world,many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success.Ah,yes,but you have to put something in it.
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving?Why not an elephant bank,which is bigger and holds more coins?In the Middle Ages,before modern banking and credit instruments,people saved money at home,a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish.Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called“pygg,”and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge.” While the Saxons pronounced pygg,referring to the clay,as “pug,”eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation,sounding the “i”as in pig or piggy.As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal,a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig,delighting children and adults.The piggy bank was born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money,bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings.While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving,adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money—college education, weddings,cars,medical care,starting a business,buyings a home,and fun stuff like great trips.So when you have money,take off the top 10%,put it aside,save and invest wisely.
41.What is the piggy bank strategy?
A.Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B.Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
C.Aiming high even when doing small things.
D.Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.
42.Why did the writer’s parents give him a “piggy” bank as a gift?
A.To delight him with the latest fashion.
B.To encourage him to climb mountains.
C.To help him form the habit of saving.
D.To teach him English pronunciation.
43.What does the underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to?
A.Money.　　　　　　　　B.Gifts.
C.Financial success. D.Good luck.
44.The piggy bank originally was 　　　. 
A.a potter’s instrument
B.a cheap clay container
C.an animal-shaped dish
D.a pig-like toy for children
45.The last paragraph talks about 　　　. 
A.the seriousness of educating children
B.the enjoyment of taking a great trip
C.the importance of managing money
D.the difficulty of starting a business

B
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly.They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder.People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses.Schedules tend to be flexible,with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned.But to be safe,be on time.Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil.Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon.Brazilians are social,preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small,polite bow.Business cards should be offered and received with two hands.Arriving late is considered disrespectful.So be on time.Efficiency (效率) is the goal,so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions,even when the subject is about money.Rank is important and authority is respected.This determines how people interact in meetings.For example,people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE,status is important,so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles.The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere.So do not pull away from the handshake.Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress.Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees.People do not avoid entertaining in their homes,but they also hold business meals at restaurants.Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one-to-one,if your host offers you coffee,you should refuse.It might seem odd,but it is a cultural tradition.Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name.They also are respectful of private lives.You should be careful not to ask about personal topics.Punctuality(守时)is vital,something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time.Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe.They also have clear structure in their companies.Higher-ups make the final decisions,even if others might disagree.Neat,clean dress is expected.The Swiss follow formal table manners.They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table.It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
46.The passage is mainly about 　　　. 
A.communication types
B.the workplace atmosphere
C.customs and social manners
D.living conditions and standards.
47.Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A.They put efficiency in the first place.
B.They dislike face-to-face communication.
C.They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D.They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
48.In the UAE,when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?
A.When greeting seniors.
B.When meeting the host alone.
C.When attending a presentation.
D.When dining with business partners.
49.In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?

D.In Switzerland.

C
Last summer,two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana,to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco.The houses were made of wood.These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil;now they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry’s odd love affair with “low technology,”a concept associated with the natural world,and with old-school craftsmanship(手艺) that exists long before the Internet era.Low technology is not virtual(虚拟的)—so,to take advantage of it,Internet companies have had to get creative.The rescued wood cottages,fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds,are an obvious example,but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end.Other companies are using a broader interpretation(阐释)of low technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees,so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural,park-like setting.”At Google’s office,an entire floor is carpeted in grass.Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.
　Olle Lundberg,the founder of Lundberg Design,has worked with many tech companies over the years.“We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives,and our tech engineers are the ones who feel most impoverished(贫乏的),because they’re surrounded by the digital world,”he says.“They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity,and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”
This craft-based theory is rooted in history.William Morris,the English artist and writer,turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties,just after the Industrial Revolution.The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines.“Without creative human occupation,people became disconnected from life,”Morris said.
Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities.In Japan,patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,”taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well.Rachel Kaplan,a professor of environmental psychology,has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environments.Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying.If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then,fine,bring on the cottages.
50.The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that 　　　. 
A.Twitter is having a hard time
B.old cottages are in need of protection
C.early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana
D.Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology
51.Low technology is regarded as something that 　　　. 
A.is related to nature
B.is out of date today
C.consumes too much energy
D.exists in the virtual world
52.The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings 　　　. 
A.have destroyed many pre-industrial arts
B.have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts
C.can become intelligent by learning history
D.can regain their individual identity by using machines
53.The writer’s attitude to “low technology”can best be described as 　　　. 
A.positive B.defensive
C.cautious D.doubtful
54.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Past Glories,Future Dreams.
B.The Virtual World,the Real Challenge.
C.High-tech Companies,Low-tech Offices.
D.The More Craftsmanship,the Less Creativity.

D
A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home,and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball.I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty,but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it.They were right,of course.
I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed.The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark.Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs.No grownup ever sat there or attempted to.There the boys would sit,mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow.Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one.It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed.I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question;but whoever he was,I nod to him gratefully now.“What’s in those books you’re always reading?”he asked casually.“Stories,”I answered.“What kind?”asked somebody else without much interest.
Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence,glad enough to be allowed to remain among them;but instead of answering his question,I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment.The book was Sister Carrie.They listened bug-eyed and breathless.I must have told it well,but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience.Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments,but I was offering them as well,without being aware of doing it,a new and exciting experience.
The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom swift or G.A.Henty.I had read them too,but at thirteen I had long since left them behind.Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series.In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’ books,or I could find none.I had gone right from Tom Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie.Dreiser had hit my young mind,and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
The next night and many nights thereafter,a kind of unspoken ritual(仪式) took place.As it grew dark,I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale.Some nights,in order to taste my victory more completely,I cheated.I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London,or Bret Harte,and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening.It was not true,of course;but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position.I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall.Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences,but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store,I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.
55.Watching the boys playing baseball,the writer must have felt 　　　. 
A.bitter and lonely　　　　　B.special and different
C.pleased and excited D.disturbed and annoyed
56.The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the question because the boy 　　　. 
A.invited him to join in their game
B.liked the book that he was reading
C.broke the long silence of that summer evening
D.offered him an opportunity that changed his life
57.According to Paragraph 3,story-telling was popular among the boys basically because 　　　. 
A.the story was from a children’s book
B.listening to tales was an age-old practice
C.the boys had few entertainments after dark
D.the boys didn’t read books by themselves
58.The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because 　　　. 
A.it was written by Theodore Dreiser
B.it was specifically targeted at boys
C.it gave them a deeper feeling of pleasure
D.it talked about the wonders of the world
59.Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to 　　　. 
A.play a mean trick on the boys
B.experience more joy of achievement
C.add his own imagination to the story
D.help the boys understand the story better
60.What is the message conveyed in the story?
A.One can find his position in life in his own way.
B.Friendship is built upon respect for each other.
C.Reading is more important than playing games.
D.Adult habits are developed from childhood.

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water:we don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them.They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we are,both as an individual and as a member of the community.Here’s how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
61.　　　 Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names.But it’s okay to be the one to break the ice,even if you’ve lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence.So as you see them at work in their yards,smile,wave,and say hello.Ask how their kids are(whether they’re babies or in college),whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden,or what they think of the prices at the local supermarket. 
62.　　　 These days,the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past.But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure,especially if they’re far from home,and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes.If they have kids,tell them where the children in the neighborhood live.Recommend the best places to eat and shop.Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled,give them your number,and point to your house as you say good-bye. 
63.　　　 Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor,such as tools,in good repair and as soon as you’re finished with them.Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you,your children,or your pets break or soil.Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway.Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking—and the talk will be good. 
64.　　　 If you value a friendly relationship with your neighbors,spend time with them.What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue,pool party,or holiday open house?Better yet,you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor.Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house.This way,you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music. 
65.　　　 In a good relationship,it’s really the little things that count.Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain.When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans,roll them back into his yard.If you’re truly concerned,you’ll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up—a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it’s needed.All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbor is the respect for their feelings.

完形填空
【语篇导读】一次小小的善意的鼓励对于一个孤独内向的孩子来说却有着不同寻常的影响,这点亮了他内心积极向上的明灯。初为人师的一次经历,给作者的职业生涯留下了浓墨重彩的一笔。
21.D　由本句“I gave an honest account of the students’ work(我如实讲述了学生们的在校表现)”可知,“我”是一名新老师,故选D项。
22.C　由本句“他是一个聪明的学生”和“他却读不出他自己书写的内容”可知前后两句在意思上存在转折关系,故选C项。
23.B　由本段最后两句可知,他以近似成人的理解力讨论一些成人话题,显然他在校的学业表现绝没有反映出他的能力,故选B项。
24.C　由本句和下句可知,西蒙的母亲进门就亲吻了“我”的面颊并说“我是来感谢你的”。这惊得“我”说不出话来,说明“我”对这一举动完全没有思想准备,故选C项。
25.A　because of“因为”;in spite of“尽管”;apart from“除……之外”;as for“至于,关于”。句意:因为我,西蒙已变成另外一个人。前后是因果关系,故选A项。
26.A　由下文可知,西蒙开始交朋友,并且十二年来第一次花了一下午的时间待在朋友家中,当然他对关心影响他的老师是深深热爱的,故选A项。envy“嫉妒”;please“使高兴”;criticize“批评”。
27.C　gradually“逐渐地”;constantly“连续不断地”;recently“最近”;obviously“明显地”。“因为他十二年来第一次在朋友家中度过了一个下午”这显然是一次具体的行为,因此与表示具体的时间状语连用,故选C项。
28.A　由上文内容可知,西蒙的妈妈一直在感谢作者,故此处应是积极的词汇,可排除B、C两项。由西蒙的一系列变化可知这里是指作者培养西蒙建立自尊心。A项“自尊心”;B项“缺少自信”;C项“自怜”;D项“自卫”。故选A项。
29.C　“我”呆呆地坐在那儿,对刚才发生的事情显然感到迷惑和怀疑,故选C项。wonder“怀疑,对……感到惊讶”。
30.B　“我”甚至都没有意识到,“我”是如何对那名男孩产生改变一生的影响的。even表示惊讶的心情。
31.B　“我”最终记起了几个月前的一天,当时有些学生在同学们面前做报告。故选B项。remember“想起,记起”。
32.D　在课堂上显然是在做报告,giving reports “做报告”。
33.A　quietly “轻声地,静静地”;repeatedly “反复地”;quickly “迅速地”;firmly “坚定地”。由下文的“raise her voice”可知她说话声音很低,故选A项。
34.C　Jeanne说话声音很低,为了鼓励她声音高一点“我”曾说过:“声音大点,西蒙可是这方面的专家,他是唯一一个你必须说服的人,(因为)他在教室后排坐着,他可能听不清你的话。”故选C项。
35.D　由37空后的“to be the last kid in the last row”可知他坐在教室最后一排,故选D项。
36.B　由本句中的“became happy”可知为smile。
37.D　那全是因为他碰巧是坐在最后一排的最后一个学生。intend to “想要,打算”;pretend to “假装”;refuse to “拒绝”;happen to “碰巧,恰巧”。故选D项。
38.B　那天最需要表扬的男孩正是坐在最后那个座位上的人。也正是“我”的这次偶然表扬才使得西蒙发生了上述翻天覆地的变化。
39.C　这次经历是在作者多年的教学生涯中最有价值的一课。enjoyable “令人愉快的”只说明了心情上的愉悦,无法表达出作者的收获和她内心的深刻反思。
40.A　这次经历发生在作者初为人师之时,所以作者非常感激它来得那么早那么有积极意义,最后点出文章的主旨:小小善举大有意义。

52.B　主旨大意题。第五段第一句为本段主题句,即“手工艺为基础的理论深深民扎根于历史的长河中”。后文以英国艺术家及作家Morris为例,讲述他重视手工艺。他的话也表明了人类有重视手工艺的传统。
53.A　作者态度题。纵观全文,尤其是最后一句话“如果低科技能够滋养大脑,改善员工的身心健康,那么,就开发乡村小屋吧”可知,作者对于低等科技的态度是积极肯定的。
54.C　主旨大意题。两座建于19世纪的小木屋被拯救并搬入Twitter的办公大楼,由此引出本文的话题——低等科技。其核心内容是:原汁原味的手工艺术,让你更亲近大自然,甚至是办公场所的自然气息也能让你神清气爽、身心健康。这一概念正被越来越多的高科技公司接受和运用。因此C项最佳。

55.A　细节理解题。由第一段可知,“我”嫉妒地看着其他在街区空地上打棒球的男孩。即使他们缺少人手,也从不叫我加入,故我的心情应是苦涩和孤独的,故选A项。

书面表达
Dear Mr. Wang,
Knowing that our library is going to buy books,I’d like to give some suggestions.
What we need most are popular science books.Usually popular science books explain basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way.They help us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries.
In addition to reading for knowledge,we read for fun and inspiration.That is why I recommend another category of books:literary books.Classic works,written by masters,present great thoughts through fascinating stories and language.They not only offer us joy and excitement,but also encourage us to think critically.
I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Yue
