We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it’s an ingredient（构成部分） in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.‎ Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say“Ugh!”and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.‎ The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.‎ When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.‎ In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.‎ Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce. ‎ ‎24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ A. Nobody had the idea of adding sugar until the sixteenth century.‎ B. The word“chocolate”comes from a Mexican word.‎ C. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys like them.‎ D. Workers must dry and roast the beans to remove the bitter taste.‎ ‎25. The Spaniards think that cacao was a medicine because________.‎ A. it was strong and bitter B. it was good for digestion C. it cured man’s diseases D. it was a kind of drink for good health ‎26. Which is the right time order of the events regarding chocolate?‎ a. Chocolate became a cheap and popular drink in England.‎ b. A factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.‎ c. The Spaniards started drinking cacao.‎ d. It was found that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao.‎ e. A factory mixed milk and chocolate together. ‎ A. a-b-c-d-e B. c-d-e-b-a C. c-d-a-b-e D. c-d-b-e-a ‎27. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.‎ A. chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar B. Mexicans like chocolate very much C. chocolate is a product of the cacao tree D. people liked the taste of chocolate mixed with milk C Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.‎ A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身) and nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can't judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.‎ Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.‎ As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can't expect all our customers are.‎ There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is the newspaper editor's opinion according to Paragraph 2?‎ A．People's appearances carry messages about themselves.‎ B．Customers' choices influence dress standards in companies.‎ C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.‎ D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.‎ ‎29. What can be inferred from the text?‎ A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.‎ B．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.‎ C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.‎ D．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.‎ ‎30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A．Employees Matter B．Personal Choices Matter C．Appearances Matter D．Hiring Managers Matter ‎31. The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as ____.‎ A．enthusiastic B．negative C．positive D．sympathetic D Robots will have taken over most jobs within 30 years leaving humanity facing its “biggest challenge ever” to find meaning in life when work is no longer necessary, according to experts.‎ Professor Moshe Vardi, of Rice University, in the US, says that many middle-class professionals will be assisting the work of machines within the next few decades leaving workers with more leisure (休闲) time than they have ever experienced.‎ Prof Vardi said the rise of robots could lead to unemployment rates greater than 50 percent. “We are approaching a time when machines will be able to do better than humans at almost any task,” said Vardi, a professor in computational engineering.‎ ‎“Robots are doing more and more jobs that people used to do. I believe that society needs to face this question before it's upon us: If machines can do almost any work humans can do, what will humans do? The question I want to put forward is, ‘Does the technology we are developing finally benefit mankind?'”‎ Prof Vardi said existing robotic and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies were already getting rid of a growing number of middle-class jobs and that pace of ‎ advancement in the field is increasing.‎ But Prof Vardi is not sure that a workforce of humanlike robots will be good for mankind. “A typical answer is that if machines will do all our work, we will be free to pursue (追求) leisure activities,” he said, “I do not find this a promising future, as I do not find the idea of leisure-only life appealing. I believe that work is essential to human well-being. Humanity is about to face perhaps its greatest challenge ever, which is finding meaning in life.‎ ‎“We need to rise to the occasion and meet this challenge before human labor becomes out of date. What's different this time is computer scientists are working on building machines that can do everything we can do, only better. If machines can do all the work or even 50 percent of the jobs that we used to do, what will people do?”‎ ‎32. What does Professor Moshe Vardi say about future human jobs?‎ A. They will be more challenging. B. Most will disappear completely.‎ C. Most will be replaced by robots. D. They will require higher degrees.‎ ‎33. What is Prof Vardi concerned about?‎ A. The rapid population growth. B. The fast development of robots.‎ C. Whether robots will rule humans. D. Whether robots will do good to humans.‎ ‎34. How does Prof Vardi find leisure-only life?‎ A. Ideal. B. Undesirable. C. Carefree. D. Interesting.‎ ‎35. What will humans face in the next few decades?‎ A. Labor shortage. B. Production surplus.‎ C. Fierce competition. D. Lack of life purposes.‎ 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。‎ While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided． 36 ‎ ‎● 37 ‎ When you are nervous，angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity．Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try．‎ ‎●Take care of yourself ‎ 38 If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor．‎ ‎●Make time for yourself Schedule time for both work and entertainment．Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work． 39 Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.

Industrial and agriculture waste such as chemicals and oil is poured into the ocean. What’s the worse, over fishing destroys the balance of life in the ocean.

D。细节理解题。由倒数第三段的Humanity is about to face perhaps its greatest challenge ever, which is finding meaning in life以及最后一段中的If machines can do all the work or even 50 percent of the jobs that we used to do, what will people do?可知，如果机器能够做所有的工作，抑或甚至百分之五十的工作，人类即将面临最大的挑战，那就是找到生活的意义。‎ 七选五 ‎36.E 本文是总分结构，后文是各种减压方法，所以选E。‎ ‎37.A 本段的Running, walking, playing tennis都是体育锻炼。‎ ‎38.F 本段的中心话题是照顾自己，所以吃好睡好是照顾自己的表现。‎ ‎39.G 本段围绕的话题是留给自己一些时间，所以休息是最符合这一主题的。‎ ‎40.C 根据句子意思以及逻辑关系即可选出。‎ 完形填空 ‎41.D解析:他在一个洞穴里发现了(found)一个帆布袋子。‎ ‎42. B 解析:像是有人(someone)制作的泥球。根据语境可知此处不能用“任何人”或“每一个人”之意;而no one的意思和语境不符。‎ ‎43.C解析:句中bake的意思是“烤,烘”,联系这个意思可知应该是将泥球放在阳光(sun)下。light “光线”;shade“阴影”;sand“沙子”。‎ ‎44.A解析:它们看上去没有什么,但是却引起了这个人的兴趣。“打扰”“使失望”或“使满意”都不符合语境。‎ ‎45.B解析:根据文章首句可知,他是在沿着沙滩(beach)走。‎ ‎46.D解析:前面提到他往海里扔泥球,由此可知,他想尽可能地扔远(far)一些。‎ ‎47.C解析:他几乎什么也没考虑,直到(until)其中的一个泥球在岩石上摔破了。‎ ‎48.A解析:文中多次提到treasure等相关信息,所以此处指“贵重的宝石”。很明显,选项中special和common在这里不合适,而语境中也不是强调价格,故D项也不对。‎ ‎49.D解析:看到泥球里面的宝石,他当然是很兴奋(excited)。surprised“吃惊的”;puzzled“疑惑不解的”;worried“担心的”。‎ ‎50.C解析:联系上一段中的“he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock”可知,泥球里包有(contained)宝石。“覆盖”“埋藏”或“跟随”都不符合语境。‎ ‎51.B解析:根据上文中的the remaining clay balls等信息,可知这里指他剩下的(left)泥球。invent“发明”;accept“接受”;keep“保存”。‎ ‎52.A解析:然后他猛地意识到了(struck)。‎ ‎53.D解析:不是(instead of)数千美元的珠宝,而是会有数万美元的珠宝带回家。except for“除了”;according to“根据”;judging from“由……判断”。‎ ‎54.C解析:根据上下文的语境可知,此处是转折意义。而so表示因果关系;and表示并列关系;or表示选择关系。‎ ‎55.B解析:根据下文中的someone等信息可知,这里说的是“人们也像这个样子”。‎ ‎56.A解析:一些人的外在并不总是美丽或闪光的,所以我们忽略(ignore)了。‎ ‎57.D解析:美丽的人、富有的人往往在我们的心目中更重要(important)。‎ ‎58.C解析:但是我们没有花费(take)时间去发现藏在那个人内心的宝藏。‎ ‎59.B解析:结合上文中的“But we have not 　the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person.”等信息可知,此处指藏在人们内心的宝藏。present“礼物”;habit“习惯”;history“历史”。 ‎ ‎60.A解析:如果我们花时间去了解那个人,外在的“泥土”就会慢慢脱落(come off),内心的“宝藏”开始发光。‎ ‎1—5 CABAB 6—10 BBCAB 11—15 AABCA 16—20 BBBCA ‎21—25 ACBDA 26—30 CBCBC 31—35 BCDBD 36—40 EAFGC ‎41---45 DBCAB 46---50 DCADC 51---55 BADCB 56---60 ADCBA 语法填空：‎ ‎61. to be awarded 62. announcement  63. responded  64. proud  65. whether ‎66.

I know you’re always interested in traditional Chinese culture, so I’m writing to tell you one of my recent experiences.‎ I visited the Palace Museum during the new-year vacation together with my classmates and explored Chinese history and culture. The site, also known as the Forbidden City, is in the heart of the capital and covers approximately 150, 000 square metres. We chose it as our destination because it houses a variety of exhibits, like paintings, antiques, crafts and so on. More importantly, it was home to 24 Ming and Qing emperors for 500 years. The architecture of the museum features the combination of traditional beauty and magnificence.‎ The visit is indeed worthwhile. I’m amazed at the wisdom of Chinese people and impressed by the brilliance of Chinese civilization.‎ Feel an itch for the visit? I’d like to show you around the museum. Waiting for your coming!‎ Yours, ‎ Li Hua ‎
