Then Mr Max Cohen brought her a document to copy. She was so anxious she had to start afresh three times. And when he came to fetch it, all that had been achieved were the words "Memorandum of an Agreement of Sale” typed across the top of the sheet. She shrank under his impatient assurance that it did not matter in the least, and she must take her time. Her fingers were heavy and trembling, and her head was thick. To type two pages of his small neat writing into something clean and pleasant to look at seemed to her, just then, an impossibly difficult task. He went home without coming to her desk again,and she decided she would come early next morning and do it before anyone else arrived. ‎ Mrs Buss, on her way out, asked, "Have you got any certificates?" Martha said no. She had learned to type at home. Mrs Buss said nothing, but merely nodded absent-mindedly, for her eyes were on the elegant Mrs Jasper Cohen. Martha could barely see where she was going as she left the office. What she said to herself was, "I won’t spend the rest of my life typing this stupid jargon(术语)". ‎ She then went into the building of the ZambesiNews. She was going to see if Mr Spur, an old journalist whom she had known as a child, could offer her any kind of position. She was in the building about half an hour, and when she came out, her face was hot with embarrassment. It had been so painful she could not bear to remember what had happened. What she must remember was that she had no qualifications at all. ‎ ‎21. Why did Martha find her first clay at the office difficult?‎ A. She was too nervous to think. B. Mr Cohen was not easy to please. ‎ C. The task given to her was very difficult. D. She was not used to working under pressure. ‎ ‎22. By the end of the day, which of the following was true of Martha?‎ A. She had decided to work overtime. B. She hadn't finished her typing work. ‎ C. She hadn't thought she would be blamed. D. She knew Mr Cohen was disappointed in her. ‎ ‎23. What might be Mrs Buss's attitude towards Martha?‎ A. She seemed eager to help her. ‎ B. She seemed uninterested in her. ‎ C. She seemed to have taken a dislike to her.‎ D. She seemed concerned about her lack of qualifications. ‎ B A lot of us lose life's tough situations by mounting a frontal attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to chalk up a win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, Sam, who hit a traffic jam on the way to work. Although there was a good reason for Sam's constant lateness-serious illness at home, he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down with a dismissal speech prepared. ‎ He was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room. Sam's boss approached him. Suddenly, Sam reached out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I' m Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job which I understand became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?" The room exploded in laughter. The boss smiled and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard saved his job with the only tool that could win a laugh. ‎ Here is another example. An English hostess was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests. She had asked her son to serve a large roast turkey. The boy only succeeded in dropping the bird onto the dining-room floor. Moving only her head, the hostess smiled at her son, "No harm, Daniel," she said, "just pick it up and take it back to the kitchen", she said clearly so he would think about what she was saying and bring in the other one. Some humorous words changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a ton of fun. ‎ Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽视)means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for making up differences, saying sorry, saying no, criticizing, and getting the other person to do what you want without his losing face. Also, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people are in any other places. ‎ Of course, humor is often more than a laughing matter. In its potent guises(有效的伪装), it has a Trojan-horse(特洛伊木马)nature: no one goes on guard against a laugh; we let it in because it ‎ looks like a little wooden toy. Once inside, however, it can turn a city to reform, to rebellion(反抗), to resistance. ‎ ‎24. What can the underlined words "chalk up" in Paragraph 1 be replaced by?‎ A. pay for. B. respond to. C. think of recording. D. succeed in getting. ‎ ‎25. How does the author explain the power of humor?‎ A. By using examples. B. By making comparisons. ‎ C. By introducing study results. D. By setting clown general rules. ‎ ‎26. What does the author mean by mentioning humor's Trojan-horse nature?‎ A. It is but a toy. B. It catches us unawares. ‎ C. We usually resist its effect. D. We seldom really understand it. ‎ C On April 12th, two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and sat down to wait for their friend. Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave. When the two men refused, the employee called the police, and in minutes, they were arrested. It was not until later that day that they were let go. ‎ The video of this incident posted on Twitter went viral. People across the US were outraged. Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today. This incident is just one example of implicit bias(内隐偏见), something that is a part of human nature. ‎ Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a different race. Starting from a young age, these feelings, develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences. ‎ Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society. There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago. Implicit bias affects the justice system, our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken seriously, and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities. ‎ Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an anti-bias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks stores will be ‎ closed on that day. However, Critics and experts have said that such training is done "for show" rather than to promote change. ‎ To address this issue, many experts agree that what the world needs is a long-term program that targets the root cause. It also starts with promoting diversity in children from an early age where they have friends and playmates from different races and cultures. ‎ ‎27. What does the underlined word "outraged" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. very disgusted. B. quite cautious. C. quite puzzled. D. very delighted. ‎ ‎28. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The nature of implicit bias. B. The examples of implicit bias. ‎ C. The basic concepts of implicit bias. D. The negative effects of implicit bias. ‎ ‎29. What might experts think of the anti-bias training meeting?‎ A. It will be a shame for Starbucks. B. It will be a meaningless practice. ‎ C. It will raise the police’s reputation. D. It will raise public awareness of anti-bias. ‎ ‎30. What might many experts agree with?‎ A. Starbucks should be closed. ‎ B. Implicit bias should be ignored. ‎ C. Children should be taught to avoid implicit bias. ‎ D. Implicit bias should be dealt with by the policemen. ‎ 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。‎ My husband and I had tried for many years to have children, but it just never happened. So we applied to be foster parents(养父母). We decided we should start with an older child for a number of reasons. Since we both worked, child care might be a problem. Our dog Corby might be a bit too energetic for a young child. 31 We sat back and prepared to wait for the few months they thought it might take to get a school-age child to pass——which was why we were at a loss when the agency called us within weeks, just before Christmas, and asked if we would take Kaleb, a two-and-a-half-year-old boy, for a few months. ‎ This wasn't what we had discussed a few weeks before. 32 It was such short notice. We had made holiday plans and most of all, the boy was toddler(初学走路的孩子)! We went back and ‎ forth, and in the end, we just couldn't say no. ‎ The day was set for Kaleb to arrive. We went outside to greet our little guest. But before we could even reach the child, I heard a noise from behind me. 33 I gasped(因惊异吸气). Corby would frighten Kaleb——probably even knock him down. ‎ Corby reached Kaleb before either of us could grab her. She hounded up to the boy and immediately began licking his face with joy. 34 . His face light up with excitement, he cried, "Can this be my dog?‎ Kaleb came to stay those few months. 35 Yes, we 'adopted Kaleb. He became our son, and Corby…well, she couldn’t have been happier. She turned out to be Kaleb's dog, after all. ‎ A. Privately, I was full of doubts. ‎ B. There were so many difficulties,‎ C. Eight and a half years later, he is still with us. ‎ D. Turning, I saw Corby heading straight for the little boy. ‎ E. In our hurry, we must not have closed the door completely. ‎ F. And honestly,we were a little nervous about taking on a baby. ‎ G. In response, this little boy threw his arms around the dog's neck and turned toward us. ‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ History rocks! But your poor history teacher was not able to 36 all the fun little bits. Whether these bits were sad, ridiculous, or heartwarming, we think it's a shame that you 37 the bits. And now we help you 38 that. ‎ Famous for his beard, Abraham Lincoln was an incredible 39 . Though he wasn’t actually born in a very poor family, he did have a relatively 40 childhood. Hard labor was part of the daily life in the area where Lincoln grew up, and, at the age of nine, he 41 his mother because of disease. As President, he would grow to be history's 42 president of the United States, standing proud at 1.93m. Even after he died, his story didn't quite 43 . In 1876, a group of bad fellows wanted to hold Lincoln's body for ransom(赎金)at the fee of $ 20000 and the 44 of one of their accomplices(同谋犯). They were caught and 45 to a year in prison. ‎ Theodore Roosevelt’s story is one of privilege, big personalities, and bigger sticks. Teddy Roosevelt was born to the 46 Roosevelt family in New York City, quite different from Lincoln, but he was known to be a very 47 child. He even took up boxing at a young age to 48 against his weak body. Roosevelt had a(n) 49 to the left eye caused by boxing. He took many trips to Africa and South America where he hunted and studied numerous exotic species. ‎ His best story, perhaps, concerns a speech in Milwaukee in 1912. During the speech, a man tried to 50 Roosevelt's life with a gun, but the bullet was slowed down by his folded speech craft and eyeglass case. Roosevelt 51 told the crowd he hadn't been shot.

I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget. ‎ On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady's house. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles(导弹)as they rolled to the edge of the roof and shot out into the yard like comets(彗星)falling from the sky. ‎ I found myself a perfectly smooth stone and sent it for a ride. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch(走廊). At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble and ran away. ‎ I was too scared about getting caught that I was concerned about the old lady with the broken window all the time that night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn' t been discovered,I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to look into her eyes. ‎ I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. ‎ 注意:‎ ‎1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;‎ ‎2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;‎ ‎3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;‎ ‎4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ I waited until it was dark. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
