It’s a bit of a popularity contest as the bigger the pile of broken china is the next morning, the more friends and good luck you’ll have in the coming year.Germany: Pouring leadIn Germany, people melt small pieces of lead in a spoon over a candle, then pour the liquid into cold water. The shapes from the lead pouring are supposed to reveal what the year ahead will bring. If the lead forms a ball, luck will roll one’s way, while the shape of a crown means wealth; a cross means death and a star will bring happiness.Spain: Twelve grapes of luckIn Spain, one New Year’s tradition is to eat 12 grapes, one for each month of the coming year, to secure prosperity (繁荣). You need to eat one grape with each bell strike at midnight. The tradition dates from 1909 when farmers in Alicante came up with this idea to sell more grapes after an exceptional harvest.Philippines: Round food, round clothes, round everythingIn the Philippines, the start of the new year is all about the money. The locals believe that surrounding themselves with round things (to represent coins) will bring money or fortune. As a result, clothes with dots are worn and round food is eaten.1．What is believed to bring good luck for the coming new year in Denmark?A．A red candle B．Round food C．Broken china D．A lead cross2．What inspired the New Year’s tradition of eating grapes?A．A way to make coins.  B．An act to keep power.C．A desire to be popular.  D．An idea to earn more money3．Which section of a magazine is the text probably taken from?A．Fashion B．Travel C．Culture D．EntertainmentB"Confidence" is probably one of the most noticeable quality in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and teacher. As a student, being confident means you should dare to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. What's worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the topic — this is the last comment any graduate would not like to receive.Being confident for me as a foreign teacher means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself uneasiness or even shame. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches (The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking.) Modesty is a quality highly valued in China, but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.4．What should we do most if we want to compete with American students?A．Be quite confident.   B．Be polite and friendly.C．Have more discussions.  D．Know what they think about.5．A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who         .A．gives a silly or simple answer  B．tries to seize any chance to speak in classC．shows interest in the topic  D．is considered to have no opinion of his own6．The author is most likely to feel uneasiness if         .A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said  B．the students bargain with himC．he pretends to know what he doesn't   D．he has to give a speechCFairy tales focus on creating a fantasy world to the reader encouraging imagination and teaching problem-solving skills. It is equally important that they provide influential moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings co-exist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI (artificial intelligence) can take to its cold and mechanical heart. The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fairy tales, novels and other literature. We believe story comprehension in robots can eliminate the immoral behavior of the the intelligent robots, which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called “Quixote” (堂吉诃德). It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact with the store keeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives (指令), the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion. Quixote would run best on a robot that has a very limited function. It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.7．What is the robot really expected to do in the experiment?A．To purchase some medicine for a human.B．To finish the task as efficiently as possible.C．To perform in a socially acceptable way.D．To perform under the designer’s instructions.8．What does the underlined word mean?A．praise  B.promote  C.remove  D．strengthen9．Which of the following information can we get?A．Quixote has already been widely used in robots.B．Robots will be definitely designed with limited function.C．The development of robots is still in a baby step.D．Robots are necessarily to be trained to follow social behaviors.10．What’s the text mainly about?A. Using stories to teach moral to robots. B. Speeding up the development of robots.C. Preventing robots from behaving badly. D. Training robots to read fairy tales.II.七选五（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Rising Through Stages to Realize OurselvesMany modern people have the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is   11    . Once high school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop working, they begin to lose their way.In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs (需求理论), Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization, which is where our final achievement lies.   12     .I think self-realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance.Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change them.    13     .Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.     14    , but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”The last stage is perseverance.     15    . Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change.Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.A. It’s nothing to a man of perseveranceB. Only by acceptance of the past can we change itC. This is especially common among college studentsD. Many people tend to go along with social expectationsE. Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptanceF. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purposeG. Exploring our potential isn’t going to be done in a short timeIII. 完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1 分，满分20 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Scientists find that hardworking people live longer than average(普通的) men and women.

However, in my opinion, health is more important than beauty. For a student, studying is the first thing to consider while appearance is the second. So do not let others’ opinions affect your normal life. However, if you do want to lose weight, it is a good idea to do it by getting more exercise and changing unhealthy eating habits. The most important thing is that you keep a healthy state of mind, as it will help with your studies, and will also help you overcome difficulties in dieting. I hope my advice will be helpful to you and I’m looking forward to your next letter.Yours,Li Hua
