If you are confused about your own feelings concerning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain because more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerated feelings Choose silence instead of blurting out “in-the-moment” feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in the grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an unkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.‎ Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your piece, then close your mouth, and let the other person come to their own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confident in what you just said, and two, you respect the other person enough to hear what they have to say.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution because the other person is not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs for you to listen to her problems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that moment.‎ Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute. Unless you can start the conversation by pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s best to just observe and learn.‎ Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fool’s argument. As some squabbles(口角) will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.‎ However, there will be times in your life where you will need the power of your voice,the voice within you that wants and needs to be respected and appreciated.‎ ‎21．The passage mainly tells us about ___‎ A. whether or not to stay silent B. why to stay silent C. how to stay silent D. when to stay silent ‎22．What is the best to do during negotiation?‎ A. Grasp every chance to say more than the other B. Close your mouth and just listen to the other C. Speak out your own points and discuss with others D. Keep silent after expressing yourself ‎23．To follow this passage, the writer is likely to continue telling about___‎ A. the occasions when you should speak up B. the power of your voice C. the advantages of speaking up D. the disadvantages of staying silent B A taxi driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to give training to company executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.‎ ‎ I had flown into Dallas for the purpose of calling on a customer. Time was limited and my plan included a quick turn-around trip from and back to the airport. A spotless taxi pulled up. The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver’s seat, he mentioned that the neatly-folded Wall Street Journal next to me was for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, “Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell.”【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】“You bet,” he replied, “I used to be in Microsoft. But I got tired of it, thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my position in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, helping people and feeling like I have done a full day’s work and done it well. I thought about my personal strengths and ... wham! I became a taxi driver. One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to go above the customer’s expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being ‘great’ better than just getting by being ‘average’.”‎ ‎24．What does the writer really want to say in Paragraph 1?‎ A．The writer thought the driver motivational.‎ B．The writer benefited a lot from the ride.‎ C．The writer was over charged for the ride.‎ D．The writer paid less for the ride.‎ ‎25．What caused the writer’s curiosity about the taxi driver?‎ A．His wonderful CD. B．His touching speech. ‎ C．His high-quality service. D．His neatly-folded journal.‎ ‎26．From the last paragraph we know that the taxi driver .‎ A．is enthusiastic about his work B．expects much from his work C．thinks too highly of himself D．goes above his own expectations ‎27．Which of the following is the taxi driver likely to agree?‎ A．Being great is a must in life. B．Life is not easy for all of us.‎ C．Don’t expect too much in life. D．Every one of us has strengths.‎ C Even before there were people, there were cases of air pollution. There were dust storms. Volcanoes erupted, sending ash and poisonous gases into the atmosphere. When people appeared on the scene and began their conquest of nature, they also began to pollute the air. They cleared land, which made possible even larger dust storms. They built cities, and the soot(煤烟) from their hearths filled the air. The Roman author Seneca wrote in AD 61 of the “stink, soot and heavy air” of the imperial city. In 1257, the Queen of England was forced to move away from the city of Nottingham because the heavy smoke was unbearable. The industrial revolution brought even worse air pollution. Coal was burned to power factories and to heat homes. Soot, smoke, and sulfur dioxide(二氧化硫) fill the air.‎ ‎ The good old days? Not in the factory towns. But there were large rural areas unaffected by air pollution.‎ ‎ With increasing population, the entire world is becoming more urban. It is the huge cities that are most affected by air pollution. But rural areas are not unaffected. In the neighborhoods around smoky factories, there is evidence of increased rates of spontaneous abortion(自然流产) and of poor wool quality in sheep, decreased egg production and a high death rate in chickens.‎ Traffic police in Tokyo have to wear gas masks and take “oxygen breaks”—breathing occasionally from tanks of oxygen. Smog in Athens at times has forced factory closings and traffic restrictions. Acid rain in Canada is caused by air pollution in the United States, contributing to strained relationships between the two countries. Sydney, Rome, Tehran, Ankara, Mexico City, and most other major cities in the world have had frightening experiences of air pollution.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】 One ‎ of the two major types of smog—consisting of smoke, fog, sulfur dioxide, sulfuring acid (H2SO4), ash and soot—is called London smog. Indeed, the word smog is thought to have originated in England in 1905 as a contraction of the words “smoke” and “fog”.‎ Probably the worst case of smog in history started in London on Thursday, 4 December, 1952. A large cold air mass moved into the valley of the Thames River. A temperature inversion placed a blanket of warm air over the cold air. With nightfall, a dense fog and below-freezing temperatures caused the people of London to put coal into their small stoves. Millions of these fires burned throughout the night, pouring sulfur dioxide and smoke into the air. The next day, Friday, the people continued to burn coal when the temperature remained below freezing. The factories added their smoke and chemical fumes to the atmosphere.‎ ‎ Saturday was a day of darkness. For twenty miles around London, no light came through the smog. The air was cold and still. And the coal fires continued to burn throughout the weekend. On Monday, 8 December, more than one hundred people died of heart attacks while trying desperately to breathe. By the time a breeze cleared the air on Tuesday, 9 December, more than 4,000 deaths had been caused by the smog.‎ ‎ Soot and ash can be removed by electrostatic precipitators(静电吸尘器). Unfortunately, they use large amounts of electricity, and the electrical energy, which is hardly affordable for most of us, has to come from somewhere. Fly ash removed from the air has to be put on the land or water, although it could be used in some way.‎ ‎ The elimination(去除) of sulfur dioxide is more difficult. Low-sulfur coal is rare and expensive. Although sulfur can be washed from finely pulverized(粉末化) coal, the process is expensive. There are also processes for changing dirty coal into clean liquid and gaseous fuels. These processes may hold promise for the future, but they are too expensive to compete economically with other fuels at present. They also waste a part of the coal’s energy.‎ ‎28. What is the passage mainly talking about?‎ A. The type and form of pollution . B. The cause and effect of pollution.‎ C. The situation and elimination of pollution. D. The concept and examples of pollution.‎ ‎29. What can we infer from the first paragraph?‎ A. Human beings should not have begun their conquest of nature.‎ B. Human activities contribute more to pollution than natural disasters do.‎ C. Seneca and the Queen of England were both over-sensitive to air pollution.‎ D. The industrial revolution was a disadvantage in terms of air pollution.‎ ‎30. With the example of “decreased egg production” in Paragraph 3, the author intends to_______ 　　‎ A. explain why the world is becoming more urban B. indicate that heavy pollution also exists in rural areas C. show that large cities are most affected by air pollution D. prove smoky factories are more affected by air pollution ‎31. What does the author mainly want to say in the last two paragraphs?‎ A. The technology to remove air pollution is only currently in development.‎ B. Society must be prepared to spend whatever it takes to eliminate air pollution.‎ C. Air pollution control is too costly to be achieved at the current time.‎ D. Pollution can be controlled using man-made scientific techniques.　‎ D Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical depression.That was the ‎ finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings.They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression.Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression.Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities，low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.‎ In the new study，American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠)to different colors.The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal，which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.‎ The animals were separated into four groups.One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night－time period.Another group was placed in front of a blue light，a third group slept in front of a white light，while a fourth was put in front of a red light.‎ After four weeks，the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank.They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.‎ Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University.He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed.“What we saw is that these animals didn't show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim red light，they did not.”‎ Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive(感光的)cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight.He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep－wake cycle.‎ He says there's a lot of blue in white light.This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.‎ ‎32．Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because ________．‎ A．they are similar to humans in dealing with colors B．they are easy to observe and study C．they are sensitive to colors like human beings D．they are active at night and sleep during the day ‎33．What sign shows that the hamsters are depressed?‎ A．They drink less sugary water.‎ B．They don't sleep well.‎ C．Their eyesight becomes worse.‎ D．Their energy level becomes low.‎ ‎35．________ tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.‎ A．Dim light B．Red light C．Blue light D．Darkness ‎35．What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?‎ A．Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.‎ B．Equipping their computer screen to put it more in the reddish light.‎ C．Living or working in low levels of light overnight.‎ D．Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.‎ 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。‎ Choosing which college or university to attend is a big decision, and should be based on many factors.‎ ‎__36__‎ Selecting the subject(s) you wish to study at college or university shouldn't be too shocking.‎ ‎ By this point in your academic career you should have some idea of the subjects you enjoy, and the subjects for which you have a talent.‎ Extracurricular Activities Make sure that you select a college or university that fits your interests by investigating their activities after class. __37__ Will an athlete have plenty of teams to cheer on and a wellequipped gym to enjoy?‎ Fees and Associated Costs Unfortunately the days of paying for college or university based on a part－time job are long gone. Today fees go up everywhere, from technology fees to laboratory fees to enrolment fees and even application fees, money is required every which way you turn. Attach associated costs such as paying for food and rent, books and clothes, social events and travel, and the cost of going to a college or university soon adds up. __38__‎ Location, Location, Location Some teens dream of getting far away from their small towns and reinventing themselves in the big city. __39__ No matter where you dream of attending college or university, make sure that you feel safe and comfortable wherever the campus happens to lie.‎ ‎__40__ Your future will depend, at least in part, on which higher level educational institution you attend, and all of these will play a large part in your future happiness.‎ A．Your Preferred Course of Study B．Other teens prefer to stay close to the comforts of home.‎ C．Today, many teens can't leave their parents to live by themselves.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】D．Do they offer an orchestra or choir for the music lover?‎ E．A few of the items should be investigated before reaching your final conclusion.‎ F．Choosing a college or university will probably be one of the most important decisions of your life.‎ G．Make sure you look into all of the costs you will be expected to pay before deciding on any particular college or university.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） ‎ 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（A、B、C和D）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。‎ What kind of life do you want? A happy one or a meaningful one?‎ ‎“Can’t I have both?” you might ask. “Aren’t the two supposed to be __41__? Surely someone leading a meaningful life will be happy, __42__ one can find meaning in the pursuit of happiness.”【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】__43__, however, this doesn’t appear to be the case. A new study suggests that a happy life and a meaningful life are __44__ the same thing, and that you might be better off __45__ just one.‎ The Atlantic News reported that researchers asked nearly 400 US citizens aged 18 to 78 __46__ they thought their lives were meaningful and happy. These people were asked about their __47__ toward meaning, happiness and many other aspects of life including stress levels, spending patterns and family life.‎ The researchers found that a meaningful life and a happy life do have something __48__, but they are __49__ different — living a happy life is connected with being a “taker”, __50__ living a meaningful life is connected with a “giver”.‎ Happiness, the researchers found, usually __51__ getting what we want, which is why the pursuit of happiness often leads to __52__ behavior. __53__ have needs and desires and thus can feel happy too. What makes humans __54__ is not the pursuit of happiness, but rather the pursuit of meaning.‎ We often derive meaning from helping others or making a __55__ for some “greater good”. And sacrifice often comes at the expense of happiness. That’s because people who do meaningful ‎ things usually have higher levels of __56__ in their lives than happy people. For example, __57__ in poor, rural schools might be meaningful, but it might also be difficult and draining.‎ Experiencing hardship and negative events, the study found, reduces your happiness but increases your __58__ that you’re living a meaningful life. No one knows this better than Viktor Frankl, an Austrian-Jewish writer who __59__ the horrors of a Nazi concentration camp. “If there is meaning in life __60__,” he once wrote, “then there must be meaning in suffering”.【来源：全,品…中&高*考+网】41.
