一、阅读理解
Filming Locations You Can Actually Visit
Mars (The Martian)
When you search for a location to stand in for the surface of another world, The Wadi Rum Protected Area in far southern Jordan is a good place to start. With the impressive “vast and echoing and God-like” landscape, it served as the background of Matt Damon’s 18-month stay on the red planet in The Martian.
Jurassic Park
The Hawaiian islands were the locations for some of Jurassic Park’s most memorable scenes. Kauai provides the rough coastline and some of the most breathtaking features of the fictional Isla Nublar, while the rolling hills of Oahu’s Kualoa Ranch function as the background of the Gallimimus stampede (逃亡).
Hobbiton
Unlike the other locations in this list, the Shire is a wholly artificial set, built on a sheep farm on New Zealand ‘s North Island. Created for Peter Jackson’s big-screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Hobbiton began to draw curious fans shortly after the release of the first film in the series. In time, what began as a temporary location designed to host a three-month movie shoot has evolved into a Tolkienesque theme park with over 350,000 visitors annually.
King’s Landing
The HBO series Game of Thrones brings to life the many locations of George R.R. Martin’s fantasy world, but the conflict of sex, swords, and trickery reaches its peak in the capital of King’s Landing. The “real” capital of Westeros can be found in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The city’s 16th-century fortress walls overlook Blackwater Bay, while the parks, avenues, and alleys of the old city have witnessed the triumphs and tragedies of House Lannister.
1．Which of the four locations should you visit if you are a big fan of J.R.R. Tolkien?
A．Mars (The Martian). B．Jurassic Park. C．Hobbiton. D．King’s Landing.
2．What do the movie locations Mars and Jurassic Park have in common?
A．They are both on the coast. B．They demonstrate magnificent views.
C．They can represent another world. D．They are set for only one film.
3．What can visitors do in King’s Landing?
A．See ancient fortress walls. B．Play roles in Game of Thrones.
C．Visit George R.R. Martin. D．Experience the triumphs and tragedies.

I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start anew day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came out of the experience with a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.
4．Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?
A．To arrange an interview. B．To make an advertisement.
C．To employ more clerks. D．To get a position.
5．Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2?
A．Tolerant and ambitious. B．Demanding and successful.
C．Tough and competent. D．Optimistic and agreeable.
6．Why did the author leave Merrill Lynch?
A．He hoped to relive college life. B．He wanted to influence others’ lives.
C．He had an engagement. D．His investment was not satisfying.
7．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Speaking Makes a Satisfying Job B．Challenge Your Career Choice
C．Hard Work Pays Off D．Dare to Take Risks

The Grameen Bank (GB) project started in 1976 as an action research pilot project in “Jobra” village in Chattogram district of Bangladesh. In 1983, the pilot project was transformed into a bank with the aim of reducing poverty and empowering the poor in Bangladesh through micro credit.
The unique feature of GB is that no collateral（担保抵押）is required to get the credit from the bank. Unlike mainstream commercial banks that bring their clients to their shiny branch buildings where the poor are afraid to be trampled, GB carries its services to the comfort zone of its clients’ doorsteps. It has inspired the women and the weaker section of the communities to join the Grameen community. All banking businesses except loan disbursement（支付）are done in the meetings of the borrowers at the village level centers organized by the center managers. GB’s strong presence in remote areas of the country bears witness to this fact. GB has always made it a priority to empower women and involve them in economic activities. As a result, GB can proudly say that 98% of its borrowers are women. More than two-thirds of these women have moved on to better lives through poverty reduction.
GB is currently present in 81678 (94%) villages in the country and provides services to nearly 45 million people (including family member) through 10.34 million borrower members. Its microcredit program is being carried out as a successful model in reducing poverty in many countries of the world. GB was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 in appreciation of its efforts to create economic and social development from the bottom of the society through microcredit. Now GB is working not just to reduce the poverty of its borrower members, but also to ensure that their future generations are not left behind. It offers education loans, new enterprise loans, and scholarships to borrower members’ children.
Grameen Bank has been actively contributing to the development of Bangladesh.
8．What does Grameen Bank do to the borrowers according to the passage?
A．Do banking businesses at their village. B．Take them to the grand bank building.
C．Help them step out of the comfort zone. D．Send the loan money to their home.
9．What does the underlined word “trampled” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Well received. B．Left behind. C．Watched over. D．Looked down on.
10．What made Grameen Bank win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006?
A．Influencing almost every village in Bangladesh. B．Helping the poor through microcredit.
C．Reducing poverty all over the world. D．Caring about the future generations of the poor.
11．What feature does the GB loan have?
A．Women-first. B．Interest-free. C．Subject to education. D．Guarantee-bound.

Have you ever taken a personality test and found the results to be scarily accurate, checked your horoscope (星象学) and had everything come true or taken an online quiz that told you precisely what your favorite Disney princess means about you? Well, we certainly have done so too many times, so we decided to do a little investigation into how Internet quizzes, magazines and horoscope books seem to know us so well.
We discovered that we’ve all been falling victim to the Barnum effect. The Barnum Effect is the phenomenon that occurs when individuals believe that personality descriptions apply specifically to them, despite the fact that the description is actually filled with information that applies to everyone. It was named after P.T. Barnum, a famous 19th century showman, who would famously say, “There’s a fool born every minute.”
Indeed, Barnum proved to be right, as pseudoscience (伪科学) — such as astrology and personality test — remains popular to this day. The Barnum effect explains why extremely general statements, such as the results of your personality test, seem so specific to you. Don’t believe us? Well, late psychology professor Bertram Forer offered some proof.
In a historic study, Forer conducted a personality test to his students. Forer copied statements such as “You have a great need for other people to like and admire you.” and “You have a tendency to be critical of yourself” from the newspaper’s horoscope column and gave a test to every student, Forer asked his students to rate the accuracy of the test from one to five, with “one” being the least accurate and “five” being the most accurate. The average rating was 4.26. The universally high ratings from students on the personality test supported the Barnum effect.
One of the most important factors when reproducing this study is to keep the statements as vague as possible, with a mix of mostly positive and some negative content. For example, using the phrase “at times” makes for a powerful Barnum Effect. See “At times you are extroverted and sociable, while at other times you are introverted and reserved”— who would not agree with that statement?
So, keep in mind that we are not immune to the Barnum effect. Take everything you hear with several grains of salt.
12．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?
A．To present a controversial opinion. B．To provide an example of an idea.
C．To offer a solution to a problem. D．To define the meaning of a term.
13．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Potential application of the Barnum effect. B．Further explanation of the Barnum effect.
C．Supporting evidence for the Barnum effect. D．A reasonable doubt of the research process.
14．Why do so many people believe the statements in horoscope and personality tests?
A．They are so specific. B．They are ambiguous.
C．They are positive. D．They are believable.
15．How is the passage organized?
A．Problem—solution. B．Cause—effect.
C．Phenomenon—analysis. D．Claim—counterclaim.


二、七选五
Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes. 16 —“Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!”
What is my advice to beginners? I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained; 17 But that’s not what photography is about for me. If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here?” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with wat’s left over— 18 What does that mean? If I’m photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it. If I’m taking photos of a mushroom harvest in Yunnan, I make sure to find an angle that shows just how much they’ve harvested, but also a few close-ups of the weathered hands that are carefully sorting.
19 I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.
Do I have a good camera? Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer. 20 so start there, and start today.
A．Let the story guide you.
B．I have virtually no art experience.
C．Like anything, photography requires practice.
D．Photography becomes an incredible drive to explore.
E．Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.
F．It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.
G．I feel deeply connected with whatever is captured through my camera lens.

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was about ten years old, my brother and I received a wonderful gift — tennis rackets and balls. We had never had the opportunity to play tennis, so this was exciting. However, there was one problem — the small town we lived in did not have a tennis court.
One Sunday morning my brother said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s take our tennis rackets and balls to the school and hit the balls against the school building.”
“Great idea! Let’s go,” I agreed, not realizing what a lesson we would learn before the experience was over.
When we got to the school ground, no one was around, so we began hitting our balls against the side of the two-story brick building.
“I’ll hit it the first time,” my brother suggested, “then you hit it the next time. We’ll hit it back and forth to each other.”
So we began taking turns hitting the ball, getting more confident with each stroke. Actually, we became pretty good at returning the ball and we were hitting the ball higher and faster each time.
Suddenly, the unthinkable happened — the ball got out of control and went crashing through one of the upstairs windows.
We looked around and no one was in sight — except there was an old man sting on a porch halfway down the block.
Quietly, I asked, “Now what should we do? Our ball is inside the school.”
“Well,” my brother responded, “no one will know whose ball it is. And no one saw us, except that old man down there. And he probably can’t see this far.”
“He probably doesn’t know who we are anyway,” I added.
“Let’s go home,” my brother suggested.
“Okay,” I agreed. “Should we tell Mom and Dad?”
“I don’t know,” my brother answered.
Then we picked up the rest of our balls and headed for home, keeping silent all the way with our heads drooping.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式作答。
“What happened?” asked my mother, seeing us in low spirits.

Barnum, a famous 19th century showman, who would famously say, “There’s a fool born every minute.”(我们发现我们都成了巴纳姆效应的受害者。巴纳姆效应是一种现象，当人们认为性格描述只适用于他们时，尽管事实上这些描述中充满了适用于所有人的信息。它是以19世纪著名的表演家P.T.巴纳姆的名字命名的，他有句名言：“每分钟都有一个傻瓜出生。”)”可知，文章第二段主要解释了巴纳姆效应的概念。由此推知，第二段的目的是给“巴纳姆效应”这一专业术语下定义。故选D项。
13．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Don’t believe us? Well, late psychology professor Bertram Forer offered some proof.(不相信我们？嗯，已故的心理学教授Bertram Forer提供了一些证据)”和第四段“In a historic study, Forer conducted a personality test to his students.

15．推理判断题。阅读文章可知，文章第一段提出了“很多人相信占卜和性格测试等”这一现象，而后面几个段落都在分析其原因。由此可知，本文的篇章结构为“现象——分析”。故选C项。

Nice to chat!”(“还是聊回拍照吧。这很好聊!”)”转而提到“回到拍照的话题”，为过渡句，下文第二段开始提出学习摄影的建议。由此可知，设空处应是承接上文的话题，与摄影的好处相关。F项“It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.(这也有助于在聚会上避免尴尬的闲聊。)”中的it指代上文的Photography，also helps也与上文对应。故选F项。
17．上文“I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained;(我没有学过摄影；我没有受过正规训练；)”提到了作者既没学过摄影，也没有受过正规训练；下文“But that’s not what photography is about for me.(但这不是摄影对我的意义。)”转而提到上文提到的那些都不是摄影对作者的意义。结合设空处前面的分号可知，设空处与上文两个句子构成排比句式。B项“I have virtually no art experience.(我几乎没有美术经验。)”与上文对应。故选B项。
18．上文“If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here?” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with wat’s left over(如果你想成为一名摄影师，就要不断地问自己这个问题：“这里的故事是什么？”无论你是在你最喜欢的餐馆拍摄一道菜，还是在处理剩饭剩菜的食物垃圾处理厂)”提到了如果相当一名摄影师，就要不断问自己“这里的故事是什么？”；下文“What does that mean? If I’m photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it.(这是什么意思？如果我正在为Social Supply拍摄晚宴，重要的是不仅要捕捉一盘食物，还要退后一步，捕捉周围的场景。)”通过举例子进一步解释了问“这里的故事是什么？”的含义。A项“Let the story guide you.(让故事引导你。)”与上文的“What is the story here?”对应。故选A项。
19．设空处位于段首，为段落主旨句；下文“I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.(仅今年一年，我就拍了数十万张照片。你拍得越多，你就会越好。所以，开始拍摄吧，什么都可以，尤其是你朋友的生意和项目。)”提到了拍得越多，就会越好，说明摄影是需要练习的。C项“Like anything, photography requires practice.(像任何事情一样，摄影需要练习。)”最能概括本段内容。故选C项。
20．上文“Do I have a good camera? Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer.(我有好的相机吗？是的，但有些人仍然认为我从手机上发布的照片是用那台相机拍摄的，所以不要把一个好设备和一个好摄影师混为一谈。)”提到了不要把好设备和好摄影师混为一谈，由此可知，设空处应与摄影设备和摄影师有关。E项“Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.(我最喜欢的一些摄影师只用他们的手机拍。)”与上下文对应。故选E项。

36．考查形容词。句意：当太阳开始落山时，空气中弥漫着咝咝作响的肉香味，吸引了更多饥饿的顾客。形容词hungry作定语修饰名词customers，hungry意为“饥饿的”。故填hungry。

38．考查连词。句意：最近在中国社交媒体平台上走红之前，这座城市几乎不为外人所知。分析句子可知，空处缺从属连词连接句子引导时间状语从句，不为人所知是发生在走红之前的动作，用before。再者not…until意为“直到……才……”。也可以填写until。故填before/until。
39．考查现在分词。句意：大多数游客都是年轻人，他们在社交平台上分享自己去淄博体验这座城市烧烤文化的经历，吸引了更多的游客。分析句子可知，主系表结构完整的句子，who引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词young people，空后短语是前句产生的意料之中的结果，attract用现在分词作结果状语，故填attracting。
40．考查过去分词。句意：淄博烧烤的经典三件套餐包括烤羊肉、大葱和馕，这三者结合在一起，构成了令人垂涎的套餐。分析句子可知，非限制性定语从句中已有谓语make，combine是非谓语动词，which指代 roast lamb, green onions, and nan bread，逻辑主语roast lamb, green onions, and nan bread和非谓语动词combine之间形成动宾关系，combine用过去分词表被动，故填combined。
41．考查副词。句意：以前，东北地区的烧烤在全国更受欢迎。副词previously做状语修饰句子，首字母大写，故填Previously。
42．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：淄博突然成名的背后是当地政府的努力和服务，以及当地企业的良好声誉，这些企业得到了游客的好评，他们在网上分享了他们的经历。讲述一般性事实，时态用一般现在时，该句是全部倒装，主语the efforts and services of the local government复数，谓语复数形式，故填are。
43．考查定语从句。句意：淄博突然成名的背后是当地政府的努力和服务，以及当地企业的良好声誉，这些企业得到了游客的好评，他们在网上分享了他们的经历。该空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是local businesses，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which，故填which。
44．考查代词。句意：为了推广淄博烧烤，淄博已经推出了24列“烧烤专列”，由当地旅游官员亲自为游客提供服务。officials亲自为游客服务，反身代词表示他们自己，故填themselves。

47．“What happened?” asked my mother, seeing us in low spirits. “Well,” my brother slowly began, “we hit the tennis ball too hard and too high and it went right through the school window”. “Oh, my goodness!” my mother exclaimed. After a short pause, her voice softened when she asked us if we had reported this to the school. Lips bitten, we shook our heads. “It will cost all of our pocket money”, I muttered. “But there is always something more important than money”, she said soothingly, patting me on the shoulder. Slowly lifting my head, I encountered my mother’s encouraging eyes and a decision was made.
The following morning my brother and I went to the headmaster’s office. Nervous and frightened, we inched into the office. There sat our stern-looking headmaster. “We have something to confess...”, we spilled our story with a hint of fear in our voices. He looked very somber and we were sure that the news was bad. Then he smiled, “I am proud of you kids for having the courage to tell me what happened”. He could see our relief as he continued, “Many windows had been broken, but you were the first ones to admit that you were responsible. For that, you don’t have to pay for the broken window, because honesty comes before anything else”.
