A
Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left my home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. So I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked at it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it?" "Twenty pounds." I said. "OK," he said, "I will give you twenty pounds." "It’s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it is nothing. "the shopkeeper answered.
Everything was going according to my plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "It will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I will buy it." I said. "What do you mean? You just sold it to me." "Yes, I know, but I have just changed my mind, I am sorry. I will give you twenty - seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy." he said. Suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." " You are right," I said, "What would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to mend the chair?" "I would not have agreed to do that. We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it, and too much trouble. But I will mend this for you. Will you pay it for five? ". He was a very nice person and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.
21. We can learn from the passage that in the first shop the writer________.
A. was rather impolite
B. was warmly received
C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair.
22. The expression" the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper_.

It’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount, but can still afford the gifts that your loved ones will enjoy. Never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.
Hit the sales.
No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on Black Friday, and it’s surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal, but sometimes it can be well worth. Many retailers(零售商) offer specials all through the day and some even offer online Black Friday specials, so you may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.
Pay close attention to advertisements.
Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. Pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.
Shop online.
Some of us don’t like running from store to store in order to get the best price on the perfect gift, and some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all—thankfully for us, we can do online shopping.
The world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as well as some specialty stores that could only be found on the Internet. Customers can find exactly what they are looking for, at the best possible price without ever having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping consumers are sometimes limited to what’s left in stock if they wait too long to get to a particular store.
24. The first paragraph implies that________ .
A. nowadays not many people can afford expensive gifts
B. recently many people don’t want to spend money on gifts
C. Christmas is a time to make our loved ones enjoy their gifts
D. Christmas is a time to make us feel free to buy our loved ones gifts
25. In the writer’s opinion, it is rewarding on Black Friday ________.
A. if the weather is not very cold B. if we don’t have to fight for the best deals
C. if we don’t have to get up early D. if we get what we want at a good price
26. The underlined word “specials” means.________
A. some experts in shopping
B. certain things for especially low price
C. some kind of help for a certain customer
D. things that can only be found on Friday
27. We can have more choices ________.
A. on Black Friday B. in a particular store
C. on the Internet D. from retailers
C
Neil Kerwin became American University's(AU) 14th president in September 2007. Kerwin joined AU in 1975 and has held numerous department and leadership positions, including head of the School of Public Affairs. In this interview, he speaks about developing leadership among AU students and inspiring them to public service and the lessons he has learned as the president of American University.
“The longer I do this kind of work, the clearer it is to me that leadership is a collective activity. This happens here at American University hundreds of times every day at every level of the doing and managing hard work to reach those goals. Simply, leadership cannot be the field or responsibility of one person or a small group at the top. At its best, it is up to the organization.”
“A president's role is to make that clear, ensure it happens, and provide space, ideas, encouragement and acknowledgment of accomplishments. Vision(有远见卓识) is important, but one that colleagues have not contributed to or are not widely shared will not serve the purpose. I have also learned delegation(授权) is also important to success and that it is a process of constant adjustment, not a single act. No one is perfect in the work we do, and by recognizing this, you're developing a healthy culture that supports reform. And, of course, none of this relieves the president of most responsibility for the institution, and the need to be clearly and visibly accountable.”
“Another lesson is that crises(危机) assume a life of their own. They are a great time to learn and a bad time to plan. It is when times are good and stable that you need to examine the things that are of the greatest risk to your organization in the long term. As a leader, you must be able to provide the energy and motivation among your employees to ask these difficult questions, because difficult times will come.”
28. According to Neil Kerwin, leadership mainly depends on ________.
A. the president himself B. students in the university
C. small group at the top D. the organization itself
29. In the third paragraph, “ it ” means ________.
A. the management B. the leadership
C. the responsibility D. the institution
30. What are the important qualities of leadership mentioned in the third paragraph?
A. Vision and delegation. B. Adjustment and contribution.
C. Responsibility and accountability. D. Encouragement and acknowledgment.
31. What does the author mean by saying，“...difficult times will come.”？
A. Crises provide us with energy. B. Crises are quite likely to happen.
C. Crises are the greatest risks. D. Crises help people make changes.
32. What does the passage mainly tell us about?
A. The lessons Neil learned in University.
B. The difficulty Neil has in his office.
C. Neil's opinion on leadership.
D. Neil's motivation and organization.
D
Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisers give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
33. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.
A. makes women look more honest and capable
B. strengthens the qualifies required
C. is of no importance to women
D. often enables women to succeed quickly
34. Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness______.
A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C. affects men and women alike
D. has as little effect on men as on women
35. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often .
A. practical B. supportive C. old-fashioned D. one-sided

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。选项中有两处为多余选项。
Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. 36
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. 37 The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
38
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. 39 In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. 40 He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

What defines a healthy city? Is it a place with a lot of open spaces 61 people can exercise and enjoy the fresh air? A place with little or no pollution? A place in which people can 62 (free) socialize and express their ideas? Perhaps, it’s all that plus more. Other considerations are the availability of health and fitness facilities, an excellent health care program and sincere efforts by 63 local government to actively promote health and wellness among its citizens. Of all the cities in the world, one of the top six 64 (healthy) cities is Copenhagen, Denmark.
Copenhageners love to walk. Foot traffic accounts 65 80% of all traffic in the Copenhagen city center. Those who prefer can also bike. It is estimated that more than a third of all work trips in Copenhagen 66 (carry) out on a bike. As for the climate here, the city does not have the blessing of pleasant weather all year round. 67 everything starts to freeze, it turns several city squares into huge skating fields. The frozen parts of the city also make 68 easier for residents to skate around. The city also has museums and art galleries for the kids and 69 (grown-up). It has the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art and the Royal Library housed in a rather grand building 70 (call) the Black Diamond.

Dear Jon,
I am so glad that you are fond of reading Chinese classics. Chinese culture is so profound and diverse that it is really hard for a foreigner to appreciate it.
As for the Chinese classics, I am convinced that it is more difficult for you to make sense of it. But it is amazing when you are buried in it. Thus I recommend a basic book, namely The Character Canon for you to begin with. This book used to be one of the essential books for the beginners of the ancient Chinese students for the fact that it was simple and readable in language and educational and profitable in contents. I am informed that this book could help to cultivate the good virtues of the youth, since it teaches people how to behave and how important of education is and so on and so forth.
I do hope you can benefit from our Chinese ancient culture.
Yours ever,
Li Hua

Neil Kerwin became American University's(AU) 14th president in September 2007. Kerwin joined AU in 1975 and has held numerous department and leadership positions, including head of the School of Public Affairs. In this interview, he speaks about developing leadership among AU students and inspiring them to public service and the lessons he has learned as the president of American University.
“The longer I do this kind of work, the clearer it is to me that leadership is a collective activity. This happens here at American University hundreds of times every day at every level of the doing and managing hard work to reach those goals. Simply, leadership cannot be the field or responsibility of one person or a small group at the top. At its best, it is up to the organization.”
“A president's role is to make that clear, ensure it happens, and provide space, ideas, encouragement and acknowledgment of accomplishments. Vision(有远见卓识) is important, but one that colleagues have not contributed to or are not widely shared will not serve the purpose. I have also learned delegation(授权) is also important to success and that it is a process of constant adjustment, not a single act. No one is perfect in the work we do, and by recognizing this, you're developing a healthy culture that supports reform. And, of course, none of this relieves the president of most responsibility for the institution, and the need to be clearly and visibly accountable.”
“Another lesson is that crises(危机) assume a life of their own. They are a great time to learn and a bad time to plan. It is when times are good and stable that you need to examine the things that are of the greatest risk to your organization in the long term. As a leader, you must be able to provide the energy and motivation among your employees to ask these difficult questions, because difficult times will come.”
28. According to Neil Kerwin, leadership mainly depends on ________.
A. the president himself B. students in the university
C. small group at the top D. the organization itself
29. In the third paragraph, “ it ” means ________.
A. the management B. the leadership
C. the responsibility D. the institution
30. What are the important qualities of leadership mentioned in the third paragraph?
A. Vision and delegation. B. Adjustment and contribution.
C. Responsibility and accountability. D. Encouragement and acknowledgment.
31. What does the author mean by saying，“...difficult times will come.”？
A. Crises provide us with energy. B. Crises are quite likely to happen.
C. Crises are the greatest risks. D. Crises help people make changes.
32. What does the passage mainly tell us about?
A. The lessons Neil learned in University.
B. The difficulty Neil has in his office.
C. Neil's opinion on leadership.
D. Neil's motivation and organization.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisers give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.
33. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.
A. makes women look more honest and capable
B. strengthens the qualifies required
C. is of no importance to women
D. often enables women to succeed quickly
34. Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness______.
A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men
B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women
C. affects men and women alike
D. has as little effect on men as on women
35. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often .
A. practical B. supportive C. old-fashioned D. one-sided

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. 36
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. 37 The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
38
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. 39 In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. 40 He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

What defines a healthy city? Is it a place with a lot of open spaces 61 people can exercise and enjoy the fresh air? A place with little or no pollution? A place in which people can 62 (free) socialize and express their ideas? Perhaps, it’s all that plus more. Other considerations are the availability of health and fitness facilities, an excellent health care program and sincere efforts by 63 local government to actively promote health and wellness among its citizens. Of all the cities in the world, one of the top six 64 (healthy) cities is Copenhagen, Denmark.
Copenhageners love to walk. Foot traffic accounts 65 80% of all traffic in the Copenhagen city center. Those who prefer can also bike. It is estimated that more than a third of all work trips in Copenhagen 66 (carry) out on a bike. As for the climate here, the city does not have the blessing of pleasant weather all year round. 67 everything starts to freeze, it turns several city squares into huge skating fields. The frozen parts of the city also make 68 easier for residents to skate around. The city also has museums and art galleries for the kids and 69 (grown-up). It has the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art and the Royal Library housed in a rather grand building 70 (call) the Black Diamond.

七．书面表达（满分25分）
Dear Jon,
I am so glad that you are fond of reading Chinese classics. Chinese culture is so profound and diverse that it is really hard for a foreigner to appreciate it.
As for the Chinese classics, I am convinced that it is more difficult for you to make sense of it. But it is amazing when you are buried in it. Thus I recommend a basic book, namely The Character Canon for you to begin with. This book used to be one of the essential books for the beginners of the ancient Chinese students for the fact that it was simple and readable in language and educational and profitable in contents. I am informed that this book could help to cultivate the good virtues of the youth, since it teaches people how to behave and how important of education is and so on and so forth.
I do hope you can benefit from our Chinese ancient culture.
Yours ever,
Li Hua
