Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering. I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.‎ My time working on a farm was a new experience for me. It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided. However, it was not your typical holiday’s I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle! I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.‎ However, you do not need to go abroad to volunteer. I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby. For example, I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir. I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a. concert. At university, I organised a concert for charity with my friends. It was really fun finding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.‎ It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages. I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services. I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe (衣柜).‎ While this is all fun, my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell! Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world. I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.‎ ‎24. Why did the author want to volunteer?‎ A. He wanted to go abroad.‎ B. He felt ashamed of himself.‎ C.

Gratcful.‎ C The world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated—and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness, unless he or she is not bothered by heights.‎ Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1.2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 metres to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden.‎ The pool will be part of Embassy Gardena at Nine Elms, a huge £l5 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners.‎ Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.‎ The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London.‎ Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a faultless view of the Palace of West-minster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market.‎ ‎28. Who can swim in the Sky Pool?‎ A. Anyone at Nine Elms. B. Visitors to London.‎ C. People living in Embassy Gardens. D. Those who are not terrified of heights.‎ ‎29. People lucky enough to swim in the Sky Pool can do the following except .‎ A. experiencing diving and surfing. B. sitting in the orange garden.‎ C. appreciating the London Eye. D. drinking with friends.‎ ‎30. What do we know from the text?‎ A. The pool is 25 metres above the ground.‎ B. The pool is similar to New York’s modern constructions.‎ C. The pool lies in the centre of London.‎ D. The pool is helpful for selling apartments in Embassy Gardens.‎ ‎31. We can infer from the text that .‎ A. only rich men can live in Embassy Gardens.‎ B. the new American Embassy has been moved away.‎ C. Nine Elms is a street in Embassy Gardens D. building the pool is not a complex job D Students at Harvard this term have been doing something for the first time in the university’s long history. They promise not to cheat, or more specifically, to sign up to an honor code in which they promise to stick to values of academic integrity (学术诚信). It means students at the well-known US university have to promise not to cheat in exams.‎ Brett Flehinger, a professor at Harvard, says students now write their own “personal response” to the honor code before starting term, repeat their promise when registering and then again before taking exams.‎ Harvard’s adoption of an honor code follows a widely-known cheating event in 2012. On one exam paper, more than a hundred students were investigated and about 70 later faced punishment.‎ An annual survey was conducted by the student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson. The survey, based on a sample of more than 70% of new students, also asked about cheating. It found 9% admitted to having cheated in an exam. There were others who had cheated in homework, academic work and other assignments.‎ So will students be stopped from cheating by a promise?‎ A study published in October by the US National Bureau of Economic Research found “strong evidence” of cheating from at least 10% of students. “It is not surprising that students cheat—they have enough reasons to do so, and the likelihood of getting caught is low,” concluded the study. “What is perhaps more surprising, is that so little effort is devoted to catching cheating students.”‎ Would an honor code make a difference?‎ Sir Cary Cooper, a professor at Manchester Business School, says, “I don’t think it actually ‎ stops the cheating that much. A university will have it because it gives specific moral guidance about what is incorrect behavior.”‎ ‎32. What’s the main purpose of Harvard’s honor code?‎ A. To spread knowledge.‎ B. To prevent students cheating in exams.‎ C. To punish students cheating in exams.‎ D. To introduce results of failing in the exams.‎ ‎33. What made Harvard’s honor code appear?‎ A. The survey by the Harvard Crimson.‎ B. A lot of Harvard s students’ suggestions,‎ C. The influence from the other US universities.‎ D. A number of Harvard’s students, cheating in exams.‎ ‎34. What do we know about the new students of Harvard?‎ A. Nobody admitted having cheated in exams.‎ B. Some of them cheated in academic work.‎ C. All of them cheated on homework.‎ D. They didn’t cheat in exams.‎ ‎35. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Students at Harvard are learning to behave honestly in exams B. Harvard is working on the exam paper about cheating C. Harvard forces students to follow the honor code D. Students at Harvard are tired of cheating in exams 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。‎ Language learning beyond words Did you know that about 55% of communication is nonverbal? 36 I find that the key to a successful conversation in a foreign language (in any language I should say) is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.‎ ‎37 “Personal space” is very important to us. In a formal context we would often greet each ‎ other with a handshake. Informally, but less frequently, my British friends and I would greet with a hug. 38 Here in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, people of both sexes greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand gestures and are very tactile. 39‎ Having studied Italian at university, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian and living in Vibo Valentia I have started picking up the locals’ body language, 40 However, what I do know for sure is that keeping my personal space intact would be denying myself the opportunity to appreciate Italian body language and fully immerse myself in the culture,‎ A. I just figure out how to find the real meaning.‎ B. But hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek.‎ C. In fact, our bodies are actually saying more than our words.‎ D. In other words, little personal space is left between people when interacting.‎ E. Britain, along with much of Northern Europe, is classed as a “non-contact” culture. ‎ F. Sometimes. I find myself not knowing what hand gestures to use when expressing myself.‎ G. If one person can not understand body language, he can not communicate with foreigners smoothly.‎ 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，从短文后各给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。‎ My fiance (未婚夫) and 1 decided today was the day to treat ourselves to a nice dinner.
