Located on the Southern coast,it keeps beautiful signs of the long period of Moorish rule,nowhere more than in the Alcázar palace building,just one of the city's UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Seville has over a dozen museums, tropical parkland,and probably the best tapas (餐前小吃) culture in all of Spain.‎ Ghent,Belgium Ghent is a city that looks like it should be the setting for a fairy tale. All of the typical Belgium features abound here-waffles and beer.Every year from Saturday before July 21,Ghent hosts a ten-day festival.This music and theater festival draws almost 2 million visitors,as the city streets transform into performance spaces for performers,buskers (街头艺人) and musicians.‎ Palermo,Italy Palermo is the capital city of Sicily,the southern island off the coast of mainland Italy.The city has an ancient history,and the various cultures that have controlled the island through the years have all left their marks on it. You can see winding street markets,antique (古玩) fairs,and open air nightclubs here.‎ ‎21.Where can visitors enjoy art collections quietly?‎ A.Besancon. B.Barcelona. C.Ghent. D.Palermo.‎ ‎22.What can visitors do in Seville,Spain?‎ A.Visit antique fairs and clubs. B.Enjoy a colorful nightlife.‎ C.Explore over 20 museums. D.Hunt for Moorish influences.‎ ‎23.Which country should a music and theater lover choose to visit?‎ A.France. B.Spain. C.Belgium. D.Italy.‎ ‎24.What do the four European cities have in common?‎ A.They were once ruled by various rulers. B.They are less famous but worth a visit.‎ C.Visitors can enjoy seeing performances. D.They're all UNESCO World Heritage Sites.‎ B A report by the US' Open Syllabus Project found that the most read books among US college students in the past year were books like The Republic by ancient Greek philosopher Plato and The Clash of Civilizations by US political scientist Samuel Huntington.And according to reports by Chinese college libraries,the most popular books among Chinese students are novels like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils by Chinese author Jin Yong.‎ This is considered by many to be one of the reasons why Chinese students are sometimes not as good at critical thinking or observing global perspectives (视野) as US students—they read too ‎ many bestseller novels.‎ ‎"By reading texts in history/social studies,science,and other subjects,students build a foundation of knowledge in these fields that will also give them the background to be better readers in all areas,"Robert Pondiscio,vice president of the Core Knowledge Foundation in the US told Th.e Washington Post.‎ According to China Youth.Daily,there are usually five stages when it comes to reading,with popular novels at the bottom.More advanced readers normally go on to read classic fictional literature,history and philosophy,or books with critical ideas.‎ We spend hours,days or even weeks on a book,so it's only natural that we want to learn something useful in return for our efforts.Many see reading as an investment (投资) in themselves.But this practical view of literature and the thought that history and philosophy books are superior to novels are not agreed by everyone.After all,what they offer are two different kinds of satisfaction.While the former provides knowledge,the latter brings emotional experiences."Fiction and poetry are medicines,"UK writer Jeanette Winterson once wrote."What they heal is the rupture (裂痕) reality makes on the imagination."‎ ‎25.What are the most popular books among Chinese students?‎ A.Philosophy books. B.Bestseller novels.‎ C.History books. D.Books with critical ideas.‎ ‎26.What do Chinese students lack compared with US students?‎ A.Careful observation. B.Vast stores of knowledge.‎ C.Practical use of knowledge. D.Critical thinking.‎ ‎27.Which of the following does Jeanette Winterson probably agree with?‎ A.People read books to learn something useful. B.Imagination is not so important as knowledge.‎ C.History and philosophy books are superior to novels. D.Novels can bring necessary emotional experiences.‎ C From his own version of Kim Kardashian's "Internet-breaking" picture to rocking the "Leia Buns"look,Mark Udovitch,28,hopes his celebrity impersonations (名人模仿) will help raise ‎ money for cancer patients.‎ Dressed in a garbage bag,black cleaning gloves and a plastic bag tie,the recreation (娱乐) of Kim Kardashion's picture is one of Mark's favorite celebrity impersonations.‎ Game of Throne characters are also a popular choice,and the radiation doctor has cosplayed (角色扮演) many famous figures.Mark says the reaction to the pictures has been positive,with a lot of laugh from his co-workers."I have gotten a very positive response from many other radiation doctors,who privately message me,saying how much respect they have for me,"he said.‎ But while the radiation doctor is having fun with his wild and strange creations,the cause behind it is sad.A patient once told him she was more devastated about losing her hair than surgery.It was at that moment that Mark decided to stop getting haircuts and start growing his hair.The radiation doctor will shave his hair off in a "Dry July Shave Off" and donate it to make false hair for cancer patients.‎ Mark recalled,"Over the course of 2.5 years,my mates have been absolutely belting me with comments about who I look like with my long hair.I took a photo of me impersonating Scott Stapp,the lead singer of Creed,as a joke last year and posted it on Facebook.It got 150+ likes,which is large for me since I am not very social media savvy(懂行的).Since that image got so much notice that I wonder how many celebrities I could actually impersonate in the lead.Shaving my head may be used as a means of raising awareness."‎ ‎28.What does the underlined word "devastated" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A.Curious. B.Upset. C.Cautious. D.Alarmed.‎ ‎29.How did Mark's co-workers react to the photos?‎ A.They made fun of the photos. B.They didn't care about the photos.‎ C.They thought highly of the photos. D.They thought the photos strange.‎ ‎30.Why did Mark impersonate Scott Stapp at first?‎ A.To do it for pleasure. B.To amuse his colleagues.‎ C.To show off his talent online. D.To raise money for cancer patients.‎ ‎31.What's probably the best title for the text?‎ A.Dry July Shave Off B.A Kind and Humorous Doctor ‎ C.Celebrity Impersonations D.Doctor's Impersonations for Patients D Whether you love happy endings or a dark reality in TV dramas,you could soon be able to decide what you get. Netflix,the TV-streaming company behind hit shows such as The Crown and House Of Cards,is working on ways to give viewers control of key plot decisions.‎ Some of the storylines will be simple and linear,like the Choose Your Own Adventure books that many grew up with.For example,viewers might decide whether a prisoner in the drama Orange Is The New Black joins a gang (黑帮) or not.‎ The technology could also potentially be used to allow Princess Margaret to marry Peter Townsend in The Crown,instead of having her relationship with the divorcee (离婚者) blocked by the Establishment.Other storylines will be much more complex,allowing viewers to connect plot points in a variety of ways using their TV remotes.‎ A source said,"We're doing work on branch narratives (叙事) so you are actually making choices as you watch. All the content will be there,and then people will have to get through it in different ways.We'll see how it plays out. It's an experiment.We'll see if it gets much success.For creators,it's a new field."‎ Actors would film numerous alternate plot segments (片段) in advance,letting viewers choose which route to take through the story.Netflix will run a trial with choose-your-own-adventure shows for children later this year, based on an established character.If they are successful,it will use the format for TV programmes aimed at adults. Netflix president Reed Hastings confirmed that the company is working on interactive shows,saying,"Once you have got interactivity,you can try anything."‎ At least five million UK households are thought to be signed up to Netflix,and it is challenging traditional broadcasters.Earlier this year,BBC boss Lord Hall promised to reinvent the iPlayer so that it overtakes Netflix as a destination in its own right,rather than a catch-up service.‎ ‎32.How will viewers connect plot points?‎ A.By using their TV remotes. B.By taking part in TV programs.‎ C.By interacting with actors or actresses. D.By participating in filming plot ‎ segments.‎ ‎33.Why will Netflix run choose-your-own-adventure shows for children?‎ A.To attempt to create another hit show. B.To compete with traditional broadcasters.‎ C.To attract as many children viewers as possible. D.To test whether their creative ideas are successful.‎ ‎34.What's Reed Hastings' attitude to interactive shows?‎ A.Confident. B.Doubtful. C.Negative. D.Worried.‎ ‎35.What's the author's purpose of writing this text?‎ A.To advertise for Netflix company. B.To recommend some English hit shows.‎ C.To predict future development in filming. D.To introduce the latest technology in TV dramas.‎ 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。‎ Positive thinkers don't only live happier lives,and have better health but they are also more likely to reach their goals._36_Even if a negative thinker managed to succeed,his life is still going to be tough because he won't be able to enjoy the success he achieved.Then how to become a positive thinker?‎ ‎●Stay around positive people.‎ Have you ever felt bad for no reason just because you were around someone who was feeling bad?_37_So one of the best ways to stay positive is to spend more time with positive people.‎ ‎●Reduce the stress in your life.‎ Stress isn't only harmful to your life but it can also change your opinion of the world._38_If you can spend enough time relaxing and restoring your energy each day,you will become a more positive person.‎ ‎●Train your mental muscles.‎ The more you think positively,the more likely your brain structure is going to change and the ‎ more naturally positive thoughts will come to you._39_The more you train your mind to think negatively,the more likely you will become a natural negative thinker.‎ ‎●_40_‎ Read about the stories of successful people and watch movies that promote positive thinking.Whenever you get exposed to positive media your mind gets trained to think positively and as a result you will become a positive thinker.Avoid negative media at all costs for they can do the opposite to you.‎ A.Learn from successful people.‎ B.Get exposed to positive media.‎ C.The opposite also happens with negative thinking.‎ D.Start right now to train your mind on positive thinking.‎ E.People infect each other with their emotions and beliefs.‎ F.The more stressed you become,the more likely you are to worry.‎ G.Negative thinking ruins people's lives and prevents them from succeeding.‎ 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。‎ As a college student,I took a position as a salesman and weekend brand ambassador at a local men's clothing store in New Jersey.In addition to allowing me to become an expert T-shirt folder,the job_41_me for future success, teaching me what to prioritize (优先处理) and how to_42_my time effectively.I also learned the value of teamwork and a client-centric (以客户为中心的) _43_to business.‎ My_44_as a brand ambassador included managing the sales,taking part in community events and sharing details on in-store promotions.I was_45_with organizing inventory（库存）and price marking our clothing for sales.
