第二部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.

1. Take pictures

One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”. This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.

2. Eat alone in public

   You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.

3. Join a class, sports team, or club

  Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!

   These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.

Tips:

* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.

* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).

* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that! 

36. ________ can give you an excuse to start new connections.

A. Taking pictures of others                          

B. Eating by yourself in public  

C. Reading interesting books                      

D. Joining group activities
37. When having meals, you’d better ________ if you want to make new friends. 

A. approach others to show conscious friendliness

B. start a conversation with those who have friends aside 

C. invite others to your apartment to eat together  

D. sit on your own in public places

38. According to the text, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining a class?

A. It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you. 

B. It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby.

C. It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly. 

D. It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city.

39. Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?

A. Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy.

B. Never turn down an invitation from your friends. 

C. Offer suggestions on how to spend time together. 

D. Always give a positive response to any request.

40. By writing the text, the author intends to tell us ________.

A. why you should change when you move to a new city    

B. how you can make new friends in a new city

C. why you should make new friends in a new city         

D. how you can keep in touch with strangers

In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.

“Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.

Suddenly, Zach cried.

 “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?”

Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.

As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn’t come back. Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way.

Steve and Zach hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they’d just climbed. But Steve didn’t get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?

Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn’t have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they’d walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!

41. What happened to Steve and Zach at the beginning of the story? 

A. They got injured.     B. They lost their dog.

C. They were trapped.    D. They became separated.

42. It was obvious that Zach ______.

 A. took the lead      B. hurt himself

 C. misunderstood Brady    D. wanted to rest

43. Brady ran away to ______.   

A. seek help       B. find a way out 

C. rescue Zach       D. escape for life

44. How did Steve feel after Brady pulled his jeans? 

A. Uneasy.   B. Impatient.  C. Numb.  D. Uncertain.

45. The passage basically describes ________.

A. an adventure  

B. an exploration 

C. an escape game   

D. a training program

C

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850 – 1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns．Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs．

The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression（萧条）and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life．Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price．

Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions．As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit. Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away．Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city．

46. How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?

A. Through his observation of the country life.  

B. Through the combination of different ideas．

C. By taking other people’s advice.    

D. By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago．

47.The underlined phrase “drawing on ” in Paragraph 1 probably means______．

A. making use of                B. making comments on

C. giving an explanation of           D. giving a description of

48. According to Howard, garden cities should be built______．

A. as far as possible from existing cities

B. in the countryside where the land was cheap

C. in the countryside where agriculture was developed

D. near cities where employment opportunities already existed

49. What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?

A. Their number would continue to rise.   

B. Each one would continue to become larger.

C. People would live and work in the same place. 

D. Each one would contain a certain type of business.

50. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. City and Countryside             B. The Invention of the Garden City

C. A New City in Chicago             D. A Famous Garden City in England

第三部分：写作（共两节；满分25分）

第一节: 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

When someone gives you advice, listen without judgment, try to find value in what you’re hearing, and say: “Thank you”. This wise advice is easy to understand yet hard to practice. I’ll give you an example from my life when I totally blew it in terms of practising what I teach.

In my work I travel constantly. I always put off going to the airport until the last second. My wife, Lyda, was sitting next to me in the front seat. I was racing along and not paying much attention. Lyda cried out! “Look out! There is a red light up ahead.”

Being a trained behavioral science professional, who teaches others the value of encouraging advice, I naturally screamed at her: “I know there is a red light up ahead! Don’t you think I can see?” When we arrived at the airport, Lyda didn’t speak to me. I wondered why she seemed mad at me.

During the flight to New York, I did a cost-benefit analysis. I asked myself: “What was the cost of just listening when Lyda called out the warning? Zero.” I then reasoned: “What was the potential benefit? What could have been saved?” Several potential benefits came to mind, including her life, my life, and the lives of other people.

I landed in New York feeling ashamed of myself. I immediately called Lyda and told her my cost-benefit story. I convinced her: “The next time you help me with my driving, I am just going to say, ‘Thank you.”

A few months passed, and I had long forgotten the incident. Again, I was racing off to the airport, when Lyda cried out: “Look out for the red light!” I was embarrassed, and then shouted: “Thank you!”

I’m a long way from perfect, but I’m getting better. My suggestion is that when some people may tell you things like “Look out for the red light”, you should remember that there is possibly some potential benefit and say: “Thank you.”

51. According to the passage, what job does the author do? (no more than 5 words)

52. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 probably means ______. (no more than 5 words)

53. Why didn’t the wife speak to the author when they got to the airport? (no more than 10 words)

54. What did the author do on his way to New York? (no more than 10 words)

55. What lesson can we learn from the author’s experience? (no more than 15 words)

【答案解析】

51. He is a teacher.

52. missed the chance / opportunity

53. Because the author screamed at her. / Because she was angry with her husband.

54. He thought over what he did to his wife. / He did a cost-benefit analysis.

55. We should be grateful for other people’s advice.

第二节：书面表达（满分15分）

56. 在中国传统文化中，“勤俭持家”、“尊老爱幼”、“诚实守信”等家风对于构建和谐家庭，营造文明社会起到了至关重要的作用。

假设你经常浏览的某个英语论坛正在进行主题为“What kind of family tradition do we need most? ”的讨论。请你用英语写一篇短文参与讨论，主要内容如下：

1. 家风的重要性；
2. 选择你认为最重要的一条家风并说明理由（至少两个）。

注意：1. 不少于80 词 ;           

      2. 覆盖所有要点，可做适当补充 。

【答案解析】

Good family traditions are very important in our society, without which we can’t grow healthily both mentally and physically.

When it comes to the most important family tradition, the first thought that comes to my mind is honesty. The reasons are as follows. First of all, honesty is necessary in communicating with others. It will lead to a lasting and enjoyable relationship. Besides, honesty keeps our society running smoothly. Everything will go well only if everybody does their duty honestly. Without honesty, we would have to worry about so many things that we wouldn’t be able to achieve anything. Therefore, honesty is very important and should be passed down from generation to generation.
