It’s a plastic smartcard. You can use it on the bus, tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and most National Rail services. It’s much cheaper than buying individual tickets, in some cases costing 50% less than the price of a regular paper ticket. ‎ How to get a Visitor Oyster card ‎ You can buy a Visitor Oyster card online. Your card will be delivered by post. The card costs £5 and you choose how much money you want to add to the card. This means you can start using the card the moment you arrive in Central London. ‎ How does the Visitor Oyster card work? ‎ The Oyster card works on a pay-as-you-go system. You start by adding money to the card. Then you travel, the cost of the fare will automatically bed educted from your Visitor Oyster card. For example, if you add £20 to the card and make a tube journey of £2.30, you will have £17.70 left on the card. ‎ A few more points: ‎ ‎·A child under the age of 11 travels free when accompanied by an adult. ‎ ‎·You’ll save more money if you use the tube several times. The Visitor Oyster card is “capped (给……定上限)” at £6.80 per day. ‎ ‎·You’ll pay more during peak times. Peak fares apply from Monday to Friday (6:30am—9:30 am; 4:00 pm —‎ ‎7:00 pm), except for public holidays. ‎ ‎·Reuse the Oyster card by adding credit at a tube station, Oyster ticket shop or Visitor Centre. ‎ ‎·Receive a discount on the Thames Clippers River Bus services. ‎ ‎1. What can we learn about the Visitor Oyster card? A. You can’t use it during public holidays. ‎ B. You can have it mailed directly to your home. ‎ C. You can get a free Oyster card if you order online. ‎ D. You can receive a 50% discount at any shop in London. ‎ ‎2. How much money will be deducted if you take the tube four times in a day with a Visitor Oyster card? ‎ A. £2.30. B. £3.40. C. £6.80. D. £9.20. ‎ ‎3. Where can you add credit to your Visitor Oyster card? ‎ A. On the Internet. ‎ B. At a bus station. ‎ C. At a tube station. ‎ D.

Her mother studied to become a nurse and quickly increased the family’s income. She later attended UC Berkeley. Komal was interested in becoming a naval doctor and was part of ROTC in college. She always wanted to serve her country. She didn’t realize then that "serving" her country would later become food-related. It was 2011, when Komal Ahmad, a senior in college at the time, walked past a young man on the street who was begging for food. She invited him to sit down for a meal. At the same time, a few feet away, the dining hall was throwing away pounds of delicious food. Witnessing this, Komal knew she was meant to do something about the situation. Komal started a student group that recovered food from campus and distributed it to local non-profit organizations. ‎ ‎ As rewarding as this was, something bothered her. One day, she got a call from the dining hall manager, who had 500 sandwiches left over from an event. Komal needed to pick them up before they spoiled(变质). She rented a car, loaded it with the food, and called non-profit organizations. She found takers for only 25 sandwiches. ‎ Knowing it shouldn’t be that hard to help people, she extended her rental reservations in order to push the sandwiches. Then the light bulb moment she was waiting for: what if there was an app that could pair people who had food with people who needed it? And thus, Copia was born. ‎ ‎ Companies use the app to report when they have leftover food. When charity agencies first register with Copia, they indicate how many people they need to feed, and on what days. The app distributes the leftover food, delivered by trained food handlers. ‎ 4. How had Komal planned to serve her country? ‎ A. By being a naval nurse. B. By helping the navy medically. ‎ ‎ C. By teaching in ROTC. D. By solving food-related problems. ‎ 5. Who inspired Komal to take action? ‎ A. Her mother. B. The dining hall manager. ‎ ‎ C. A naval doctor. D. A beggar. ‎ 6. What troubled Komal about the student group? ‎ A. Its inefficiency in redistributing wasted food. ‎ B. Limited leftover food to help the homeless. ‎ C. People’s unwillingness to take leftover food. ‎ D. The difficulty of finding food sources. ‎ 7. What is stressed in the last paragraph? ‎ A. The creation of Copia. B. The influence of Copia. ‎ ‎ C. The way Copia functions. D. The development of Copia. ‎ C ‎ As the international demand for narrative(叙事的) film/TV content continues to increase with popular streaming services like Netflix and others the two questions then come: will the coming generations receive most of their entertainment through visual means rather than through the written word and will such an increase of narrative film/ TV reduce the importance of reading? ‎ Growing examples of this trend include the diminishment(减少) of fiction in the common core (核心 的)curriculum, the ever－rising culture of computer games, the wave of streaming services of wide international reach, and movies filled with special effects made for children and teenagers. Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the written word. The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形见绌) the publishing industry. ‎ The other underlying question, of course, is “does it really matter if the written word bows to the world of film/TV?” From my point of view, any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for mankind. ‎ There is no greater human feature than the imagination. It lies at the very soul of the human species. It is the brain’s most powerful engine. It is the essential muscle of life and like all muscles it must be exercised and strengthened. ‎ Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspire, create and empower our imagination. Anything that diminishes that power is the enemy of mankind. ‎ It should be known that I am not opposed to new media and technological advances. Instead, I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology. In fact, a number of my novels are in various stages of development for film, TV, and live stage productions. My hope is that the written word will only stand to be complemented(补充)by its visual counterparts(对应物), not pushed to the edge of extinction. ‎ Of course, there are those who will present arguments for the superiority of the moving image over the written word. Each has its place. My argument is for finding the right balance between it and the moving image. ‎ 8. In what way does narrative film/TV embarrass the written word? ‎ A. Economic benefits B. International reach C. Cultural influence D. Educational importance ‎ 9. Why does the author value the role of the written word? ‎ A. It strengthens our muscles. B. It helps sharpen imagination. ‎ ‎ C. It distinguishes man from each other. D. It paves the way for narrative film/TV. ‎ 10. What is the author’s attitude towards technology? ‎ A. Cautious B. Skeptical ‎ ‎ C. Positive D. Critical ‎ 11. What’s the author concerned about? ‎ A. The fate of reading. B. The extinction of fiction. ‎ C. The impact of the written word. D. The future of the moving image. D ‎ Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less. ‎ I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金）(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor) ‎ For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch. ‎ We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us. ‎ 9. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean? ‎ A. The more, the better. B. Enough is enough. ‎ ‎ C. More money, more worries. D. Earn more and spend more. ‎ 10. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects? ‎ A. Saving up for her holiday B. Raising money for a poor girl C. Adding the money to her fund D. Giving the money to a sick mother ‎ 11. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd? ‎ A. To try out an idea ‎ B. To show a parent's love ‎ C. To train his attention ‎ D. To help him start a hobby ‎ 12. What can be a suitable title for the text? ‎ A. Take It or Leave It B. A Lesson from Kids ‎ ‎ C. Live More with Less D. The Pleasure of Giving ‎ 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。 ‎ ‎ Starting a New Job? Here are some practical tips on what you should do on your first day at the office. Show up early. Arriving five to ten minutes early gives you time to settle in. 16 To make sure you can arrive early, give yourself extra time to get ready in the morning and to travel to your destination. If possible, consider practicing the full commute(上下班路程) to work during rush hour to get used to the route. ‎ ‎ Be enthusiastic, but not overbearing (专横的). It can be difficult to find the right balance between making an effect in your new role and breaking the balance of the delicate office atmosphere. You don’t want to walk in and make a strong impression. 17 Experts suggest that you try to balance energy and enthusiasm with modesty on your first day in a new role. ‎ ‎ 18 It might seem difficult not to draw comparisons between your new job and the one you just left. 19 ‎ While you might think you’re adding value when you talk about your old job, it can seem like you’re pining for it. Instead of drawing comparisons, only mention similarities with your previous role in support of your new one. ‎ ‎ Take plenty of notes. It’s a great idea to bring a small notebook and pen with you on your first day for taking down notes. 20 You’re likely to face data overload on your first day. So taking notes is a great way to keep on top of things. Plus, making notes by hand can lead to a better memory for information. A. Be positive and show interest. ‎ B. Avoid mentioning your old job. ‎ C. But you should definitely resist the urge. ‎ D. Yet don’t come so early that you seem too eager. ‎ E. But you don’t want to fade into the background either. ‎ F. Don’t be shy about recording information that will be useful to you later. ‎ G. So ask questions, take notes, and appear engaged while offering your own ideas. ‎ 第二部分 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。 ‎ A Milwaukee bus driver went above the call of duty when she stopped to save an unlikely would-be passenger：a toddler. ‎ Irene Ivic was driving on a freeway overpass when she 21 a barefoot toddler，Milwaukee County ‎ Transit System spokesman Matt Sliker said.
