Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland,the Netherlands.Unlike most of the Netherlands,Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly made up of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam,it still attracts travellers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests.They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For Dutch people,Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries,and modern architecture.
In history,Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was marked by farming,sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They built themselves large villas in the wooded surroundings of the town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers,currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textile industry and meant to build a large and important textile industry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.
The change to a media economy started in 1920,when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations moved over in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands,and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighbourhoods surrounding the town.
In the early 1900s,modern architects W.M.Dudok and J.Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architectural masterpieces are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum.Dudok alone shaped most 20th century Hilversum and about 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics.His masterpiece,Hilversum Town Hall,was built in 1928-1931.It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks.The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”.Actually,one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.

A.it has a large population
B.it is cut off from big cities

A.Building a railway link to Amsterdam.
B.Helping its textile industry to develop.
C.Constructing large villas for the poor.
D.Assisting its agricultural industry.

Being “young” is associated with all the good things in life—beauty,hope,and energy.But youth also has negative associations—impulsiveness,troublemaking,and irresponsibility.This negative side seems to be what society focuses on more,which is why young people have mostly been considered as idle and difficult.
But when it comes to Generation Z—those born between 1995 and 2010—this stereotype doesn’t seem to apply anymore. 
In Japan,for example,Gen Zers are less likely to buy on impulse,but take into consideration more a product’s true value.“They’re looking at the companies,not just the products,”Masahiko Uotani,CEO of Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido,told Bloomberg.“They’re asking,‘Are they really delivering value to the society?Are they promoting diversity and inclusiveness?’”
Gen Zers are also more grounded than we’ve expected them to be.According to a recent survey by Bank of America,more than half of young adults aged between 18 and 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years.And they’re not just saying it—they are willing to make sacrifices for it,including getting a second job and saving money for a down payment instead of spending it on a vacation.
“Despite their young age,this group is pragmatic and actively planning for their future,” D.Steve Boland,head of Consumer Lending at Bank of America,told USAToday.“They have a clear vision of how they are willing to help themselves in order to make it happen.”
Social issues are also at the centre of concern of Gen Zers,who take themselves as a changing force of the world.In India,for example,young people who have just reached the voting age are eager to vote for a new leader who is capable of solving problems that matter the most to them,including pollution,unemployment and women’s safety.
As a Gen Zer yourself,what is your plan for the future?
8.What do the underlined words “this stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Being young is good.
B.Gen Zers are born after 1995.
C.The traditional poor impressions on the youth.
D.The associations with young people.
答案:C
解析:指代关系题。根据第一段第二、三句可知,社会更关注与年轻人相关的负面情况,通常,年轻人被认为是懒散的和难相处的。结合画线部分所在句可知,此处表述这种刻板印象不再适用于Z一代。故画线部分指的是上文提到的人们对年轻人的传统的、糟糕的印象。故选C项。
9.We can infer from the third paragraph that 　　　. 
A.Gen Zers in Japan are picky
B.Gen Zers are self-centered
C.Gen Zers care little about products
D.Gen Zers are wise when shopping
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,Z一代不太可能冲动购物,他们会更多地考虑产品的真正价值,由此可推知,Z一代在购物时是明智的。故选D项。
10.What’s D.Steve Boland’s attitude to the Gen Zers?
A.Approving.　　　　　　 B.Negative.
C.Indifferent. D.Critical.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词“D.SteveBoland”定位到文章第五段,根据该段内容可知,D.SteveBoland认为尽管Z一代很年轻,但这代人务实且积极地规划他们的未来,他们有清晰的设想并愿意努力去实现它。由此可推知,D.SteveBoland对于Z一代是持赞同的态度的。故选A项。
11.Which of the following words may best describe the Gen Zers?
A.Confident and independent.
B.Visionary and responsible.
C.Persistent and down-to-earth.
D.Active and creative.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第五段最后一句和第六段第一句可知,Z一代有远见和社会责任感。故选B项。
D
Tea,one of the most important English drinks,is a relative latecomer to British shores.Although the custom of drinking tea dates back thousands of years in China,it was not until the mid-17th century that tea first appeared in England.
Afternoon tea was introduced to England by Anna,the seventh Duchess of Bedford,in the year 1840.The Duchess would become hungry around four o’clock in the afternoon.The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o’clock,thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner.The Duchess asked her servant to bring a tray of tea,bread,butter and cake to her room during the late afternoon.This became a habit of hers and she began inviting friends to join her.
This pause for tea became a fashionable social event.During the 1880’s upper class and society women would change into long gowns(长袍),gloves and hats for their afternoon tea which was usually served in the drawing room between four and five o’clock.
Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of dainty(讲究的) sandwiches,scones(烤饼) served with cream and jams.Cakes and pastries(油酥糕点) are also served.Tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured from silver teapots into delicate bone china cups.
Nowadays,however,in the average suburban home,afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a mug of tea,usually produced using a teabag.
12.Afternoon tea was introduced in English in 　　　. 
A.1880
B.1840
C.3 BCE
D.the mid-17th century

A.Anna,the seventh Duchess of Bedford
B.Tea,one of the most important English drinks
C.Anna,a person introducing afternoon tea to England
D.Afternoon tea,a very British tradition
答案:D
解析:标题归纳题。根据文章的内容和第二段第一句“AfternoonteawasintroducedtoEnglandbyAnna,theseventhDuchessofBedford...”可知这篇文章介绍英式下午茶的历史由来。故选D项。
14.Traditional afternoon tea can be made up of 　　　. 
A.sandwiches,scones as well as cakes and pastries
B.a biscuit or small cake and a mug of tea
C.a tray of tea,bread,butter and cake
D.a selection of dainty sandwiches
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“Traditionalafternoonteaconsistsofaselectionofdaintysandwiches,sconesservedwithcreamandjams.Cakesandpastriesarealsoserved.”可知传统的下午茶包含三明治、烤饼、蛋糕和油酥糕点。故选A项。
15.According to the passage,we can learn that 　　　. 
A.tea appeared in England much earlier than in China
B.the reason why the Duchess was hungry at 4 p.m.is that dinner time came quite late
C.in the suburban home,afternoon tea is also served in a dainty way
D.tea grown in India or Ceylon is poured from china teapots into delicate silver cups
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“TheDuchesswouldbecomehungryaroundfouro’clockintheafternoon.Theeveningmealinherhouseholdwasservedfashionablylateateighto’clock,thusleavingalongperiodoftimebetweenlunchanddinner.”可知theDuchess在下午4点会饿,因为晚餐太迟了。故选B项。

The rules about how to talk,eat and sit,which are highly limited,are observed in most Western restaurants and homes.　16　 Many Westerners have no idea how to act at the Chinese dinner table.No forks or knives for them to use!The Chinese host makes great,sweeping arm movements that go over large sections of the table,passing over both food and friends alike.　17　 However,it leaves many foreigners at a loss for what to do.

As for eating,we did it quietly.No eating noises were allowed.Everything must be done as quietly as possible.If any sound was created by eating food or drinking,it would be considered as bad manners!
　20　 He is to sit up straight with the recessive hand (usually the left) in one’s lap holding a napkin while the dominant hand (usually the right) holds the fork or spoon.The only time one is allowed to have both hands on the table is when he is using a knife to cut something.

Deep in the forest,my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us.It was May,yet we walked up a snow-covered hill.When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees,it did not dampen our spirits.Not once did we say,“Let’s turn around.” This was our vacation,and we were on an adventure.Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometre hike,yet we were already walking a long distance.Our lightheartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it.As my eyes scanned the surroundings,nothing looked familiar.My heart raced.I realised we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.
Usually,I am the calm one in the relationship,but my husband surprised me with his calmness.This did not comfort me;in fact,it heightened my fear.As we walked,I asked my husband to call for help,but there was no cell phone signal in this isolated(偏僻的) area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road and my heavy breathing.My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower.With each step on the road,my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened.I noticed everything around me:the trees,rocks and snow.I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water.For the first time in my life,I was ready and willing to get a ride,but we did not meet with a single car on the road.We focused on each other,made joint decisions and connected through gratitude.We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.

Myhusbandsuddenlyspottedasmallbuildingonahillinthedistance.In no time did we find ourselves heading for it.We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere.We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone.As we approached,a sign came into sight,which read:Administration Office.However,it was not open for business.The empty hall made us nervous all at once.We stood there hopelessly,wondering what to do next.
Justthen,afriendlywomanappeared,saying,“Hello.”I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out,“We’re lost!” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break.Seeing we were cold and hungry,she treated us with hot chocolate.After studying the map,we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometres away.She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly.I felt relieved to see our rental car again.What a blessing to have such an unforgettable experience!
