第一节 （共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）

A

Leaders shape history and here is a selection of the most remarkable views into these public figures plus first-hand accounts by those with access to them.

Margaret Thatcher by Charles Moore (2013)

Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher. Moore’s account is different. He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause. The final volume will include her fall from power.

Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)

Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992. The absence heightened a sense of mystery. Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilson’s final phase as prime minister in 1974.

Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001)

Jenkins writes a politician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchill’s historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons. Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did.

Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014)

Campbell calmly narrates the many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins’ intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford. Campbell also addresses Jenkins’ various affairs with women. Like Jenkins’s political heroes, he led many lives. Campbell is sharp in describing each of them.

Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell (2017)

Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, and not just because of his unusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. This is an incredibly detailed book on what it’s like to live inside No. 10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media.

21. Which of the following leaders has the largest number of books written about them?

A. Harold Wilson. B. Churchill.

C. Margaret Thatcher. D. Tony Blair.

22. Which writer was once a politician?

A. Ben Pimlott. B. Charles Moore.

C. John Campbell. D. Roy Jenkins. 

23. What’s purpose of the author’s writing the passage?

A. To introduce some histories on selections. B. To recommend some books on leaders.

C. To tell some mysteries about historians. D. To think highly of some famous leaders.

B

LAS VEGAS — It was different in the light of day.

There was no ‘pop, pop, pop’ of gunfire, no screams. Just a quiet lot of cars abandoned by those, like Kassidy Owen, who escaped with their lives.

“It’s strange to hear the silence,” Owen said, “because all I remember was the noise.”

The 22-year-old was one of dozens of concertgoers who returned to the scene of the Route 91 Harvest festival on Wednesday morning to fetch the vehicles they left behind as they fled from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino across the street.

Survivors of the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday needed their cars to move on with their lives — to get back to work, to school, home. It was the first time they were returning to a scene that would forever change them, when joy and celebration and music turned into killing and horror.

Before they could move forward, they had to go back to the place where they thought they were going to die.

Owen had run to her car to hide and had tried to drive away, but she couldn’t. People were running, bodies dropped to the ground, and cars bottlenecked in the parking lot. During a brief pause after more than 10 minutes of gunfire, she worried the lights of her SUV made everyone inside a shining target.

“They’re shooting again!” her best friend’s brother screamed. “‘Turn off the car!’”

That’s when she got out and fled.

“I just remember shutting the door and running,” Owen said.

Now, nearly three days later, she was back, sitting in the driver’s seat of her SUV. Her eyes were swollen and red. This was a long way from over.

“You just keep hearing the gunshots in your head,” Owen said.

24. Why did Kassidy Owen return to the scene of terror?

A. To get back her car for daily life.

B. To show sympathy to the victims.

C. To search for her missing friends.

D. To look into the cause of the shooting.

25. Where was the gunman when the mass shooting happened?

A. Behind a car. B. In the parking lot. C. On the stage. D. In a tall building.

26. Why did Owen keep hearing the gunshots in her head?

A. Because she had escaped being caught.

B. Because she wanted to find the gunman.

C. Because she couldn’t rid herself of those terrible scenes.

D. Because she had saved others’ lives by turning off the car.

27. Where is the text probably taken from?

A. A story book. B. A newspaper. C. A guide book. D. A research report.

C

Cities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.

The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.

As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.

Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops — at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.

“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”

28. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?

A. Planting more trees in the streets.

B. Covering the streets with white paint.

C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.

D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.

29. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?

A. How to make the city cooler.

B. Where to wear a white shirt.

C. Why to coat the roads with black paint.

D. When to cut off the electricity supply.

30. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?

A. Increasing the indoor activities.

B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.

C. Making life easier and more comfortable.

D. Reducing the number of cold days.

31. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat.

B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.

C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.

D. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.

D

Even for a certified teacher with a degree and teaching certificate from Florida, a certain embarrassment exists. The two words “English teacher” don’t clearly show who I am.

Let me explain: When I go back to the US, I meet all my old friends. Some are stressed, exhausted and generally unhappy. They are stuck in jobs they don’t love that they do only to pay the bills. Even the ones making good money don’t even have the time to spend it and enjoy themselves. If I were in the US and I was working as a teacher, accountant, lawyer or so on, then that would be my job more or less for the next 30 to 40 years. I might have other talents, but I would be limited in being able to explore them.

In China the system is fluid for everyone: Chinese and expats（侨民）. I know many friends, both Chinese and expats, who changed careers because they wanted something new and it didn’t require going back to university four more years. All it required was motivation and a calculated risk. One of the best things about living in China for me is that I can explore different career choices and actually find one that I truly love. Let’s face it people change over the years: Your likes, your abilities and even the things that make you happy are constantly changing. Why shouldn’t your jobs and the opportunities also change with you?

When people ask me if I love my job, my answer is ‘YES.’ In China I have had many jobs: actor, model, salesman and teacher at various stages during my seven years here. And no one told me “You can’t do that.” There was no self-limiting. In China, if you have the motivation to work hard and the drive to succeed then opportunities present themselves around every corner.

32. Why the term “English teacher” couldn’t explain the author’s role in China clearly?

A. Because he has taken many different jobs in China.

B. Because he has no choice but to be an English teacher.

C. Because the purpose of his teaching is to make good money.

D. Because there’re too many jobs for him to choose from.

33. Why are some of the author’s old friends generally unhappy?

A. Because they have no chance to work in China as teachers.

B. Because it’s even harder for them to earn money in the US now.

C. Because they have no ability to explore their other talents.

D. Because they can’t get away from the work they don’t enjoy.

34. What does the underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Strict. B. Fixed. C. Changeable. D. Exciting.

35. What does the author think of China?

A. A country without motivations. B. A land of opportunity.

C. A nation full of foreigners. D. A place short of jobs.

第二节 (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。

I still remember my first time going to the Chinese company’s canteen. When I stepped onto the elevator, each one was full of people. 36 However, there was no sign of fire and people were laughing and talking. I followed the flow of the crowd to the doors of the canteen. It occurred to me that in China everyone takes lunch at the same time. 37 The cafeteria followed this schedule, only being open a few hours per day.

When I stood in the doorway, I realized I had to act fast or I would be left behind. 38 Everyone lines up and takes a tray but instead of silverware, there are chopsticks and soup spoons.

As I was pushed along the line, I saw dishes I didn’t recognize and as people cut in line and picked up dishes left and right. 39 I ended up going with a pork and cucumber dish and a tofu salad.

I have been at my company for over a year and a half. 40 I have learned what dishes I like, mostly by trial and error, and a lot of the workers know me and say hello.

I am still getting used to eating lunch at “lunch time”, but I think the schedule definitely helps keep me on track during the day. I wish there was something like this at offices in my hometown.

A. I thought I had missed a fire drill.

B. There was no emergency, it was just lunchtime.

C. I noticed things at lunchtime were a bit different.

D. I felt that I needed to make some quick decisions.

E. The canteen reminded me of my school lunch room.

F. And now I am glad to say I am more confident in the canteen.

G. I was not very familiar with the local food or restaurants in China.

第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

第一节 （共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

When I first came to Rochester from Austin, Texas — a place where fall is practically non-existent — I was excited for a real northern fall. But, I wasn’t 41 it to feel like Christmas in October.

Regardless of this 42 , and the adjustment period that I’m not entirely sure I’m 43 , I am thankful to be somewhere that has a 44 fall. By “real” I 45 a distinctive season, a(n) 46 in the weather and a visual changing of the world around me. The leaves 47 colors, it rains more often, the air is almost always 48 and dry, and a light breeze 49 me to walk a bit faster to get inside. Yes, it is more difficult to be 50 outside in a Rochester fall — where it isn’t just “less hot” but 51 , fairly cold. But, I would argue that time spent outside in this season could be more 52 than in the summer.

Everyone 53 that fall is about change — I won’t argue against that. Things do 54 in the fall — the weather is 55 becoming worse and worse, the dying leaves become warmly colored, and 56 you know it, we’ll be back to having only eight hours of sunlight a day.

This oncoming change is why I think it is so important to 57 fall. Fall is not just about the 58 of change, but also appreciating what will soon be 59 . Go 60 this fall. Enjoy the leaves not because they are turning beautiful deep shades of orange and red, but because there will soon be no leaves in those branches at all.

41. A. interested in B. exposed to C. ashamed of D. prepared for

42. A. accident B. possibility C. shock D. motivation

43. A. beyond B. against C. for D. after

44. A. rare B. real C. hard D. strange

50. A. grateful B. creative C. considerate D. comfortable

51. A. luckily B. actually C. helpfully D. instantly

52. A. terrible B. casual C. unpleasant D. valuable

53. A. questions B. emphasizes C. recalls D. analyzes

54. A. relax B. change C. harvest D. rest

China has always been famous for being a “State of Etiquettes（礼仪）.” According to historical documents, as early as 2,600 years ago, this nation has already established a thorough set 61 dining etiquettes.

A famous 19th century Russian writer, Anton Chekhov, once invited a Chinese man 62 (have) a drink in a bar. Chekhov said, “Before drinking from his cup, he held 63 with his hands and presented to me and the bar owner and bar tenders, 64 (say) ‘qing (please).’ This is the custom of China. They are not like us to finish it in one drink, 65 prefer to drink by taking a small amount at a time. With every sip （一小口）, he 66 (eat) some food. Afterwards he handed me some Chinese 67 (coin) to show gratitude. This is a rather interestingly polite nationality…” This was the most valuable opinion of a Chinese person

68 was given by a foreigner two centuries ago. Chinese traditional dinner procedures used to be long and dealt 69 (serious) with; the 70 (important) the occasion, the more complex the procedures were.

Text 1

M: Does your niece Leah watch The Mickey Mouse Club?

W: Yeah. Her mom and dad didn’t let her watch television when she was a baby. But now that she’s two, her doctor says it’s OK for her to watch a half hour of TV each day. (1)

Text 2

M: You need to focus on drying the plates properly, or they can get water spots like this one.

W: Sorry, I didn’t notice that. I think I need to put on my glasses to do this job. (2)

M: That’s probably a good idea. We don’t want to lose customers over something like this.

Text 3

W: Would you like chicken or fish tonight? I have some delicious fish I could grill. Or I can always make my famous baked chicken.

M: I love your baked chicken! I’m so hungry that anything will taste great to me. (3)

Text 4

M: I’m so excited to be a senior soon! I’ll be able to drive my car to school, instead of taking the bus.

W: Oh, yeah. You’ve been riding the bus with me since the third grade! I can’t believe you’ll be in twelfth grade. (4) Time flies!

M: Over here is the weight room. Down the hall is the entrance to the pool. And over there is the classroom where we host our classes like yoga and cycling. (5)

W: Wow, this is great! I’d like to sign up for a membership.

Text 6

W: Finals are approaching. I’m not ready, and most importantly, I still haven’t finished my employment history.

M: That CAPP class is a joke. (6)

W: You mean the career-and-personal-planning class?

M: Yeah! How can they expect us to have employment history when we are full-time students?

W: That’s not the point of the class. It’s meant to provide us with the necessary tools to find work after college. The purpose is not to show our work experience. It’s practice for writing a professional résumé and cover letter, and how to take advantage of our strengths in a competitive work environment. (7)

M: Oh, I never thought of that.

W: Well, you don’t really think of a lot of things…

M: What is the population of your hometown? (8)

W: It is close to one million. (8)

M: Wow! But you said you grew up in your capital city. And there are not even a million people there?

W: No, I’m talking about the whole state. (8) My hometown doesn’t even have half that much.

M: So, your state is similar in size to Mongolia?

W: Well, it is actually larger in size, but Mongolia has nearly three million people.

M: That is so wild. Why are there so few people where you’re from? (9)

W: It’s a cold place with nine months of winter. (9) Before the discovery of oil, only native communities lived there for the most part. We have had a lot of immigration in recent years, mainly because of the jobs in the oil field.

M: I think I would feel lonely there.

W: All right, students. Your homework for the weekend is to review Chapter 3 and to write a summary of the most important ideas in the chapter. (10) Next week, we’ll begin our presentations.

M: Excuse me, Ms. Diaz…

W: Yes?

M: How long should our summary be?

W: It should be one page, but no more than that. Also, remember that when you summarize a chapter, you must leave your own opinion out. (11)

M: Yes, ma’am. But there are many different views on the Civil War in American history. (11) It is difficult to summarize anything important without including my opinion at all.

W: A summary only includes the facts. You can use the author’s words directly, but you cannot include your own ideas. For the homework, I just need to see if you understood the main ideas in the chapter. (12)

M: Should we try to connect these ideas to other things we read this term?

W: No. You can do that next week when you give your presentation.

M: Hi, it's Charles Nelson. I have a reservation for tonight.

W: Hmm… Nelson. You have booked a room for five, right?

M: No, no. Hold on, there must be some mistake.

W: Okay. Let's check… Here, Mr. Charles C. Nelson for tonight…

M: Ah, my name is Charles Nelson (14), not Charles C. Nelson.

W: I'm sorry. Let me check this again. Oh, yes. Charles Nelson, a room for one for the 19th of May.(15)

M: No, a room for tonight, not for tomorrow evening. (15)

W: I'm really sorry, but I don't think we have any rooms for tonight. Well, let me check my computer here. Ah! There has been a cancellation for this evening. A honeymoon suite is now available.

M: Great. I'll take it.

W: But I'll have to charge you 250 dollars for the night. Well, the best I can give you is a 10% discount plus a ticket for a free breakfast. (16)

M: Thank you very much!
