We are moving from Switzerland to Singapore and can only pack a few toys to keep us going until the rest arrive by ship months later.‎ In go the story cubes — imaginative picture dice（骰子）that inspire stories and drawings. Both kids like working with their hands, so in go pom-poms, pipe cleaners and paper punches（纸打孔机）. Next, a kingdom of small animal statues marches two-by-two into the case. They have been my children’s favorites in the past month.‎ But the rest have hardly been touched — and the shelves are still packed with various toys. So why do we have so many toys?‎ Psychologist Oliver James, author of the parenting book Love Bombing says, “Most children need a transition object, for example, their first teddy bear that they take everywhere. But everything else is a socially generated want.”‎ Yet, it seems we are keen to generate our children’s wants — the Toy Retailers Association reports that the British alone spend £3billion each year on toys.‎ Those who advocate fewer toys say children will seem to fight less if they have a wide choice of toys, but, at the same time, they may learn to think of nobody but themselves.‎ Joshua Becker, a father of two who writes about how to simplify both home and lifestyle, says, “People co-operate better and share when resources are limited, and the same is true for children.” This ‎ minimalism（极简主义）affects the whole Becker family, with the kids given a limited space to store their toys, forcing them to adopt a “one in, one out” policy. He sees his kids “filling their time with creativity” — taking their cycles to the park, inviting friends over to play with dolls, and doing art projects. In addition, he says, they can focus for a longer time, take better care of their possessions and grow more resourceful.‎ Now Swiss cold will be replaced by Singaporean rains. The change forces me to consider minimalism about toys. Maybe the kids don’t need them — in fact, we’re not short of ways to play more with less.‎ ‎24. What’s the main reason that the author only brings several toys?‎ A. She can’t carry too many toys with her. ‎ B. She decides to give her children fewer toys.‎ C. Her children don’t like the rest of their toys. ‎ D. The new playroom is too small for all the toys.‎ ‎25. What’s Oliver James’ attitude towards children having too many toys?‎ A. He doesn’t believe it. B. He doesn’t support it. ‎ C. He is curious about it. D. He is worried about it.‎ ‎26. According to Joshua Becker, what is one of the advantages of minimalism?‎ A. Valuing time. B. Saving money. ‎ C. Children fighting more. D. Children co-operating better.‎ ‎27. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A. Changes. B. Ways. C. Policies. D. Toys.‎ ‎ C In summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.‎ One popular option is hot-stone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.‎ Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and ‎ then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.‎ Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.‎ The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.‎ ‎28. What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?‎ A. Swimming in white water. B. Living in cold winter.‎ C. Lying on the warm beds. D. Discharging lots of sweat.‎ ‎29. What can we know from the text?‎ A. People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.‎ B. There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.‎ C. Using water of about 45oC to wash the body is good for the health.‎ D. Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.‎ ‎30. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?‎ A. It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American. ‎ B. It successfully cured many people of cancer.‎ C. It is popular with people because of its excellent effects.‎ D. It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.‎ ‎31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?‎ A. The origin and development of the hot-stone therapy ‎ B. A healthy and comfortable lifestyle C. How to live comfortably in summer ‎ D. The amazing functions of the hot-stone therapy ‎ D At any discussion of a job offer, money can be a deal breaker. Negotiating an attractive deal, however, can be hard for many job candidates because they lack the necessary skills or simply because they’re too concerned that pushing for a high salary can cost them the job.‎ These factors certainly can be hurdles (障碍), but it doesn’t mean that you give up trying to get the best deal you can get. Needless to say, if money isn’t a big factor in your decision, you still need to make sure that the deal you’re accepting is fair compared to what’s offered in the market. Selling yourself short once can impact your future salaries and set you back financially.‎ Here are common mistakes that many jobseekers commit in negotiating money.‎ Negotiate too early. Timing is of essence in any negotiation, and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly. Many employers, in fact, rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates make. The best timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that you’ve been selected for the position.‎ Abandon professionalism. It’s common that people, after going through a long recruitment process, can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly below their expectations. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t abandon your professional attitude or throw a fit. This likely will get you nowhere except the door.‎ There’re two options to this situation: the first is that the employer is inflexible (不灵活的) about the budget, and in this case, you may just leave and make a graceful exit from the hiring process.‎ The second option is that there’s some negotiation room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization. If this is the case, you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well-delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected salary. Still, if this is not acceptable, you don’t have to take it.‎ ‎32. What is the most difficult for most jobseekers at the discussion of money according to Para. 1?‎ A. Being too difficult to handle the money. B. Not having got certain skills.‎ C. The first necessary step. D. Lacking a good chance to get a job.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined part “throw a fit” in Para. 5 mean?‎ A. Get excited. B. Get angry. C. Become amused. D. Be delighted.‎ ‎34. What should you do if you are offered an unsatisfactory salary?‎ A. Ask for a higher salary. ‎ B. Immediately give up the job.‎ ‎ C. Just calm down and figure out the situation. ‎ D. Try to prove you are the best candidate for the job.‎ ‎35. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To offer tips on salary negotiation. ‎ B. To tell common mistakes in our daily work.‎ C. To help employees get along well with their employers.‎ D. To help people perform well in job interviews.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ Some people choose to grasp on to the past and play it over and over like a broken record. 36 Those with no regrets let go of the past and live joyfully at present. They also live by the following principles.‎ ‎1. Following your unique path leads to greater fulfillment.‎ We all have passions and inner guidance. If you follow your passions and inner guidance, your life will take on deeper meaning and fulfillment. 37 ‎ ‎2. Let your passions guide you, not societal pressures.‎ We all know the feeling of being passionate about something. 38 But too often we allow societal pressures to control our feeling. To check whether your passions are guiding your life, start doing what you want to.‎ ‎3. 39 ‎ We often think we will be happy once we get that job, or finish that course. The truth is that happiness comes from within. Everything outside of you is temporary. Once it goes, so will your happiness.‎ ‎4. Don’t think twice about expressing love and appreciation.‎ We support others by our words and actions, while receiving others’ support and love back. Expressing heartfelt feelings allows us to have no regrets for whatever tomorrow may bring. 40 ‎ A. It guides what we are doing.‎ B. Understanding happiness is a choice.‎ C. Don’t settle for less than what you want.‎ D. They, in turn, live with regret, anger, and fear.‎ E. What is right for one person may not be right for another.‎ F. Try living according to what your inner knowing guides you to do.‎ G. It may also be exactly what others need to face their current challenges.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ A Year of Living Gratefully ‎ I was in sunny California.
