You have heard the words “that which does not kill you makes you stronger”. I have found it true. But I also believe in the philosophy that we are not defined (定义) by what happens to us, but by what we do when things happen to us.
Some friends think we have had far more than our share of bad things occur, but I don’t think bad things are shared. They are events that occur as the result of many aspects, sometimes far past our control or even knowledge of them. I am also a firm believer in the laws of unintended consequences — one event causes things that are quite unexpected, sometimes positive, sometimes not.
So as I considered the question of “What motivates me?” and sought an answer, it struck me that I simply refuse to be defeated. I won’t let life or events tear me down to the point at which I am no longer me, or simply stop being.
In 2008, I battled three types of cancer, had four cancer operations, the firm I worked for closed without notice, my wife was in a horrible car accident, got laid off from her company, the economy devastated our life savings, … and that was for starters.
We also lost two family members and my closest friend. He was the last person I would expect to pass away out of our friends. But a disease took hold of him 9 years earlier. His memorial service was filled with love, and many of us told about his joy of life, humor, his achievements, and the challenges he had overcome in his life — which were many and painful. He would not be defeated in his life either.
Today, my wife and I are hand-in-hand, continuing trying to live our lives with dignity, although living it differently from the end of 2007.
24．Which of the following does the author most agree with?
A．We should take our share of bad things.
B．One event may cause many unexpected results.
C．Many bad things could have been prevented by us.
D．Humans are sometimes defined by their surroundings.
25．Which of the following can best describe the author’s experience in 2008?
A．A bad beginning makes a bad ending. B．He who laughs last laughs best.
C．Misfortunes never come alone. D． No pains, no gains.
26．What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Destroyed. B．Increased.
C．Supported. D．Included.
27．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To complain. B．To advertise.
C．To encourage. D．To explain.
C
We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft（工艺，手艺） no longer exists.
One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability （牢圈）. "Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is to mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.
Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, most people can no longer afford solid oak （橡树） stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.
One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon say more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.
The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.
28．What does the underlined work "they" （paragraph 2）refer to?
A．Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.
B．People who think highly of carpenters of old.
C. Carpenters who have college degrees.
D．People who think that modern material is of low quality
29．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?
A．People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways
B．It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.
C．Modern houses lasts long the old cones.
D．Good carpenters still exist in modern times.
30．Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are __________.
A．more successful B．more learned
C．more imaginative D．more hardworking
31．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Is Craft Dead? B．Craft, Back to Life?
C．History of Craftsmanship D．Carpenter Today and Yesterday
D
War can be deadly for wildlife, too. A new study reports that war is the biggest threat to Africa’s elephants, rhinoceroses, and other animals. Researchers examined how years of conflict in Africa have affected populations of large animals. More than 70 percent of Africa’s protected wildlife areas have been within a war zone at some point in the last 70 years. The more frequent the fighting, the greater the drop in animal populations, said Josh Daskin, an ecologist at Yale University. He was the lead author of the study, which was published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
It takes very little conflict, as much as one conflict in about 20 years, for the average wildlife population to be declining, Daskin said. “Areas with frequent fighting — but not necessarily the bloodiest fighting—lose 35 percent of their large animal populations during each year of war,” he said.
Some animals get killed by weapons of war. Yet, many also die because of changes in social and economic conditions in an area as a result of war, said Rob Pringle. He is an ecologist at Princeton University and the study’s co-author. “People in and around war zones are poor and hungrier. So they may begin to illegally hunt animals for valuable tusks or hunt protected animals to eat,” Pringle said. “And during wartime, animal conservation programs do not have as much money or power to protect wildlife.”
The new study examined the entire African continent over 65 years. The researchers looked at 10 different factors that could change population numbers. They included war, drought, animal size, protected areas and human population density. The number of wars had the biggest effect on wildlife population. The intensity of the wars — measured in the number of human deaths — had the least effect on animals.
32．Which is the most dangerous to Africa’s animals?
A．Hunting. B．Wars. C．Drought D．Economy
33．What can we know about the animals in Africa?
A．More than 70 percent of animals live in a war zone.
B．Little conflict has no effect to animals’ population.
C．The more frequent the fighting is, the fewer animals are.
D．35 percent of animals in the world died each year because of war.
34．Which one is NOT the reason why animals die in the war?
A．Being killed by the weapons.
B．Being killed by poor and hungry people.
C．Lack of money or power to protect them.
D．The loss of their habitat.
35．Which one has the least influence on wildlife population?
A．The intensity of the wars. B．Protected areas.
C．The number of wars. D．Animal size.

39．____ According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.”or“40．_____”

We live in a heavily edited world. People in pictures are no longer people-they are perfect human beings whom we can only try, but 41 , to live up to. And food in pictures is no longer food. It's 42 , something to make you desire a lifestyle while 43 you that you're not part of it.
But people are getting 44 and tired of such perfection, leading to something Pamela Grossman, a director at Getty Images, calls “perfection fatigue(疲劳)”. This new attitude is now 45 people to value something different: 46 .
The pizza company Domino's, for example, is 47 the trend（趋势）by encouraging its customers to 48 unedited pictures of their pizzas on social media, as part of the nofilter(未过滤的) movement that’s become so popular on Instagram. This may mean oily boxes, 49 cheese and less-than-delicious-looking meat, but these 50 show what we're actually 51 .
"It's 52 what it looks like when you really get a pizza."Dennis Maloney, chief digital officer of Domino's, told the website Fastcodesign. "It feels much more honest and transparent when the images(形象）are imperfect.”
Things are also changing with perfect human images. For example, US clothing company Gap, 53 a "Dress Normal" campaign in 2014, 54 simple clothes instead of smart suits like those of runway models.
"We spend so much time trying to 55 our shortcomings due to the fact that our 56 has set it up that we have to be 57 if we're not perfect," US filmmaker Cynthia Wade told The New York Times. "I think people are tired of it. They're suddenly much more willing to 58 the ugly or sarcastic."
But while it's probably true that we won't see a(n) 59 to "perfect" pictures any time soon, at least some people are starting to see that it can actually be 60 to be imperfect, or to use the name of one of American singer Grace VanderWaal's albums, Perfectly Imperfect.

第四节 书面表达
Dear John,
I'm sorry to hear that you’re addicted to WeChat. I really understand how you feel and I'd like to offer you some useful advice that is beneficial to you.
Addiction in WeChat can make us lose interest in learning and lack self-control. Besides, mobile phone radiation can affect our health.
Firstly, I suggest that you should start some other hobbies, such as reading, or drawing, which will take your mind off WeChat. Secondly, you'd better make more friends, who can help you when you can't resist the temptation of WeChat. Thirdly, it's better for you to do some sports instead of using WeChat a lot because sports can not only keep you healthy but also enrich your life.
I hope these suggestions can help you get rid of your addiction as soon as possible.
Best wishes!

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

W: Hello I’m Kate Assadi, and I’m here to talk about my hobby, which is skydiving. In the UK, this is still seen as something done by crazy young people! But in the USA, skydiving is a hobby that has been taken up by people from all age groups, by anyone looking for excitement, from twenty-year-olds to old people enjoying active life after leaving their jobs.
I wanted to do skydiving as a teenager, but my parents wouldn’t give their permission. So, my first jump was as a university student, when I was able to get a discount. Immediately, I was attracted! I couldn’t afford to do it regularly though, until I started working as a lawyer.
Why do I do it? Well, skydiving makes you feel great — you forget all your problems. There aren’t really any health benefits. Although I know several businessmen with stressful jobs who do skydiving to help them relax. Of course, some people start skydiving to help them get over a fear of heights. In a word, skydiving’s great. It gives you a whole new idea on life!
