Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.‎ Highly Sensitive Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.‎ For such people, individual or non-competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.‎ Type A Personality Type A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.‎ To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.‎ Type B Personality This laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy ‎ to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.‎ Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.‎ Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.‎ ‎1. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?‎ A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.‎ B. They don’t like socializing with other people.‎ C. They don’t consider themselves to be athletic.‎ D. They fear they’ll be let down by their teammates.‎ ‎2. Type A personalities can be best described as_________.‎ A. flexible. B. committed.‎ C. independent. D. sensitive.‎ ‎3. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To help people understand what personality type they are.‎ B. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise.‎ C. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits.‎ D. To describe different types of workouts that are available today.‎ ‎【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文为说明文。人的性格特征直接影响一个人与世界的互动，而且影响很大。专家认为，个性甚至会影响人的健身，及影响适合你的运动。本文论述了不同的性格如何影响人的锻炼习惯。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第Highly Sensitive中的第一句Highly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron. ‎ 高度敏感的人可能对于团体运动班或团队运动有不舒服的感觉，在那里他们感觉他们的每一个动作被观察。他们可能对效率低的或者差的练习感到更沮丧。由此可知，高度敏感的人他们对于自己的每个动作被人观察，被评估而不安，分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据Type A Personality中的Type A individuals …This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. “A型性格的人以一直坚持自己的计划而闻名，更不用说他们具有超强的竞争力了”。由此可知，这种性格的人往往一直坚持自己的计划，即做某事很投入。分析选项 A. flexible灵活的；B. committed坚定的，献身于某种事业的；C. independent 独立的；D. sensitive敏感的, 可知，项B committed与句相符，故选B。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 推理判断题。本文的第一段说明了人的性格特征直接影响如何与世界互动，而且影响很大。专家认为，你的个性甚至会影响你的锻炼，及影响适合你的运动。接着下文解释了不同的性格如何影响的。分析选项是知C项（解释个人特征如何影响锻炼习惯）符合题意，故选C。‎ B The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing as Melinda sits in the rose garden of the nursing home. She is recalling old times as she waits for her family’s arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda’s new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic (不现实的) but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.‎ ‎“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer.” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That’s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year, followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey” George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.‎ ‎“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational ‎ room.‎ When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect.‎ However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas, though you are not here.”‎ ‎4. Why did Thomas break his promise?‎ A. He died of lung cancer. B. He was busy with his work.‎ C. He had to serve in the army. D. He stopped loving Melinda.‎ ‎5. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?‎ A. peaceful. B. stressful.‎ C. happy. D. simple.‎ ‎6. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Melinda liked to drink alcohol. B. Melinda was tired of noise.‎ C. Melinda’s children forgot their father. D. Melinda missed her husband badly.‎ ‎7. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Memories of Old Days B. A Particular Birthday C. A Woman at a Nursing Home D. A Big Surprise for Melinda ‎【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了住在养老院里的梅琳达生日的时候回想起以往的生活，想起丈夫曾经的承若，她很怀念刚去世的丈夫Thomas。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段的Thomas passed away a week ago. 和Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made…可知，他没有遵守诺言是因为他去世了，故选A。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。结合上文语境和后面的life filled with laughter and love 可知，生活充满了笑声和爱，由此可推断出，他们过着开心的生活，故选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。最后一段讲述了梅琳达和家人欢聚，她举起酒和大家干杯，根据最后一句"This one is for you, Thomas, though you are not here."可知，她时刻都在惦记她的丈夫，结合上文他们一家人曾经生活的非常开心，她和丈夫十分恩爱，由此可推断出，梅琳达非常想念她的丈夫。故选D。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。文章开头讲述了梅琳达在养老院等待家人到来的时候，回想起丈夫和自己的约定：每年的生日都在一起。在最后，大家举杯庆祝的时候，她大声说：这是给你的，托马斯，虽然你不在这里。由此我们可以推断出，本文的标题应为“一个特别的生日”。故选B。‎ ‎【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。本文中的第2小题是词义猜测题，该小题属于语境猜词，根据该词后的life filled with laughter and love可知，他们的生活是充满了笑语欢声和爱，由此推测出他们的生活是开心的，幸福的，再对应四个选项，即可得出答案。‎ C The belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.‎ In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.‎ Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.‎ Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical（激进的）and unprecedented（前所未有的） change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.‎ But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.‎ This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.‎ One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, goods and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.‎ So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people’s fears.‎ ‎8. What is the function of the second paragraph?‎ A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.‎ B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.‎ C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.‎ D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.‎ ‎9. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?‎ A. Confusing B. Steady C. Reliable D. Variable ‎10. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?‎ A. There are more goods for people to choose from.‎ B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.‎ C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.‎ D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.‎ ‎11. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?‎ A. It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.‎ B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.‎ C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.‎ D. Its danger to people’s employment possibilities is overstated.‎ ‎【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文属于议论文，经常出现新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测，但事实证明结果并不是那样，我们有必要不断否定预测，以减少人们的恐惧。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。第二段主要举了几个发生在过去的预测，预测人们在新科技下会失去工作，会无所事事。通过下文内容可知这些并没有发生，这几个只是对新科技不必要恐惧的例子，故选D。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节推理题。根据第五段Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably ‎ constant over the past 20 years.可知数据表明在过去的20年里，工作人员的比例、工作时间的长短以及换工作的频率一直保持着惊人的稳定。即数据表明就业是稳定的，故选B。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节推理题。根据第七段With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them.可知新技术引进后提高了工人工资，高收入会增加对其他产品的需求。故选C。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.第六段New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story.和最后一段But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people’s fears.可知人们预测的新技术的严重后果并没有发生，新技术导致的失业只是一部分，人们夸大了其对失业的影响，有必要不断否定预测，以减少人们的恐惧。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。‎ 做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：‎ ‎1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。经常有新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测，但事实证明结果并不是那样，我们有必要否定预测，以减少人们的恐惧。‎ ‎2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。‎ ‎3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如小题2考查20年的数据的特征，根据第五段Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.可知数据表明在过去的20‎ 年里，工作人员的比例、工作时间的长短以及换工作的频率一直保持着惊人的稳定。即数据表明就业是稳定的。小题3考查新科技和产品需求的关系，根据第七段With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them.可知新技术引进后提高了工人工资，高收入会增加对其他产品的需求。‎ D The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism (相对主义), are simply reflections of local and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.‎ History has witnessed the endless production of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert hall, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.‎ In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of tastes are uniform (不变的) in human nature,” the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after 2000 years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.‎ Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.‎ ‎12. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?‎ A. It introduces different cultural values.‎ B. It relates artistic values to local conditions.‎ C. It explains the history of artistic works in detail.‎ D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.‎ ‎13. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned to show that __________.‎ A. the charm of great arts is universal and lasting B. popular arts are hardly different from great arts C. great artists are skilled at combing various cultures D. great arts are works of popular arts in the beginning ‎14. According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because __________.‎ A. they are results of scientific study B. they establish general principles of art C. they are created by the world’s greatest artists D. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature ‎15. Which of the following serve as the title of the passage?‎ A. Are Popular Arts Universal? B. Is Human Nature Uniform?‎ C. Are Great Arts Permanent? D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?‎ ‎【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了艺术价值是否是普遍的这个问题。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism（相对主义）, are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions.可知，文化相对主义把艺术价值与当地条件联系起来。故选B。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段末的Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.可知，“文化相对主主义把艺术价值与当地条件联系起来”‎ 这样的观点是无法解释某些艺术作品在不同文化和几个世纪中都有着激发人类心灵的能力的。可以推断出在第二段出现这些伟大的艺术家，就是为了说明这些至今还在全世界流行着伟大的艺术作品可以超越时间和国界。下文的例子就是对上文观点的解释。故选A。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中的In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform（不变的）in human nature,” the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent.可知Hume认为，一些艺术作品可以存在几个世纪，是因为他们反映了人性不变的特征。故选D。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。本文主要讨论了艺术价值是否是普遍的这个问题。特别在文章最后也进行了点题Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art.，可知本文最佳标题，故选C。‎ 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。‎ Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with no medical clinic.___16___Once the doctors get to you, they examine you and take blood samples, but they won’t be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to find out what is wrong.___17___Thanks to engineer Andy Ozcan, many people may never be in this situation. He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic (诊断的) tool.‎ Ozcan’s invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use. In many remote places, even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses, there may still be other problems. Many doctors, for example, don’t have enough training to correctly interpret what they see.____18____With Ozcan’s mobile phone app, health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital. The computer will then automatically interpret the photo and send a diagnosis back in a few minutes.‎ ‎___19___His technology only requires a mobile phone and an Internet connection. As more than four billion people already have cell phones, the cost of establishing the diagnostic system is fairly low.‎ By inventing a medical tool that uses existing technology---mobile phones---Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical. Therefore, it can be effectively almost anywhere.___20___‎ A. As a result, they may diagnose illnesses incorrectly.‎ B. People are trying to reduce the cost of this new medical tool.‎ C. This tool has become much more popular all around the world.‎ D. Another reason that Ozcan’s invention is important is that it is inexpensive.‎ E. You become very sick and must wait days until a mobile medical unit arrives to help.‎ F. Ozcan’s simple, cost-effective tool might just save millions of lives around the world.‎ G. Even though you may only have a simple infection, you might die because of the delay.‎ ‎【答案】16. E 17. G ‎ ‎18. A 19. D ‎ ‎20. F ‎【解析】‎ 本文为说明文。主要介绍了安迪·奥兹坎发明的一种将手机变成一种诊断工具的应用程序。这种发明很精确并易于使用。这种经济又实惠的医疗工具可以世界的任何地方使用，能拯救全世界数百万的生命。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 根据上文“想象一下，你在一个偏僻的村庄，没有医疗诊所”及下句“一旦医生找到你，他们会给你检查并取血样，但是直到他们把血样带回医院，找出问题所在，他们才能帮助你”可推断出生病了要等几天医疗队才来看病。分析选项可知E项符合题意。故选E。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 根据上文的内容“如果你生病要等好几天医生才来看病，并送医院检查才能诊断。可推断出”即使只是简单的小感染，可能也会因为耽搁而死”，分析选项可知G项符合题意，故选G。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据上文“In many remote places…there may still be other problems. Many doctors, for example, don’t have enough training to correctly interpret what they see.”可知，‎ ‎“在许多偏远的地方，即使医生有仪器帮忙，仍然会出现其他问题。例如，许多医生没有足够的培训来正确解释他们所看到的”，由此可判断出“这样可能会出现误诊”，分析选项可知A项（因此，他们可能错误地诊断疾病）符合题意，故选A。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 第二段说Ozcan的发明重要的一个原因，这儿应当是另一个原因。分析选项可知A项（Ozcan发明重要的另一个原因是它很便宜）应该是正确的。把D放入句中，符合题意。可知本小题是这一段的主题句。根据本段的内容可知“Ozcan的发明成本相当低”。D项与本段有词的复现，inexpensive即为fairly low。故选D。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据上文Ozcan has developed a medical tool that is both practical and economical. Therefore, it can be effectively almost anywhere“OZCAN研制了既实用又经济医疗工具。因此，它几乎可以在任何地方都有效”由此可推断出这种简单成本低的工具可以在全世界上救人，分析选项可知F项（OZCAN的简单、有效的工具可能会拯救全世界数百万的生命）符合题意，故选F。‎ 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。‎ All of us in Monte Vista Christian School know we’ll one day have graduation photos for the yearbook taken.

Long after the end of the school year, students start their summer vacation job search. They send letters to businesses, going to job interviews, and ask our friends and relatives for help. By June the students usually have been found their jobs and then they begin preparing to enter the world of works.‎ Reasons for wanting a summer job differs from student to student. Some work help pay their school expenses, others work to gain experience in their chosen professions and still others work just for the funny of it. Salesmen or waiters are two of the more common jobs that students try to find during the summer months.‎ ‎【答案】1.after→before ‎2. going→go ‎3. our→their ‎4.将been删除 ‎5. works→work ‎6. differs→differ ‎7.在 help 之前添加 to ‎8.funny→fun ‎9. or→and ‎10. much→most ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文为记叙文。做暑期工是美国大学生的传统。学年结束前很长一段时间，学生开始找工作。暑期工作的原因因人而异，目的各不相同。但做销售员或服务员是学生在暑假期间所要找的两种最常见的工作。‎ ‎【详解】1.‎ 考查介词。根据常识可知，暑期工应当是学生在学期结束前一段时间开始暑假找工作，而不是开学后。因此after改为before。‎ ‎2.考查谓语动词。句意：他们写信给企业，去面试，并向朋友和亲戚寻求帮助。分析句子 They send letters to businesses, going to job interviews, and ask our friends and relatives for help可知，句中的send, go 和ask这三个动词是并列的谓语动词，所以going要改为go。‎ ‎3. 考查人称代词。分析句子They send letters to businesses, going to job interviews, and ask our friends and relatives for help可知，本句的主语是they，因此他们向他们的（而不是我们的）朋友和亲戚求助，因此把our改为their。‎ ‎4.考查语态。分析句子By June the students usually have been found their jobs可知，句意为“学生到6月时已找到工作”，学生与找到（find）工作是主谓关系，而非动宾关系，因此要用主动语态，而非被动语态，因此要将been删除。‎ ‎5. 考查不可数名词。名词work意为“工作”是个不可数名词，没有复数，因此把works改为work。‎ ‎6. 考查主谓一致。分析句子Reasons for wanting a summer job differs from student to student.可知本句的主语是Reasons，是复数名词，谓语动词要用复数形式，因此differs改为differ。‎ ‎7.考查动词不定式。句意：暑期工作的原因因人而异。一些工作是为了帮助支付他们的学费，有的工作是为了获得他们所选择职业方面的经验。根据后一句“others work to gain experience in their chosen professions”及语法可知help…表目的，所以少了to，因此要在 help 之前添加 to。‎ ‎8.考查名词。介词 for后要用名词，而funny是形容词，“趣的，好笑的，滑稽的”，要用其名词形式fun，意为“乐趣”，因此把funny改为fun。‎ ‎9. 考查连词。句意：做销售员和服务员是学生在暑假期间所要找的两种最常见的工作。根据句意可知，做销售员和服务员是并列的，而非或者，因此把or改为and。‎ ‎10.考查最高级。根据句意可知，做销售员和服务员是学生在暑假期间所要找的两种最常见的工作。The most common为最高级，much一般用于修饰形容词或副词的比较级，所以把much改为most。‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎52.假定你是李华,收到英国朋友Alice的邮件,以下是邮件内容:‎ Dear Li Hua,‎ How are you doing these days?

It’s natural for parents to worry so why don’t you show them where you plan to go, who you’re going with and where you will stay. It might also help if you introduce your friends to reassure them. Finally provide them with the contact details so they can get in touch with you.‎ Parents often resist their children growing up. It’s up to you to gently show them it is time to loosen the strings.‎ I hope this advice will be useful to you and good luck with your decision.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 范文2：‎ Dear Alice,‎ I can feel from your email that this issue with your parents is greatly affecting you and really appreciate that you trust me enough to want my advice.‎ Coincidentally, I met a similar situation last summer. Initially, like you, I really didn’t want to go travelling with my parents. But then I thought of things from their point of view. I go to university next year, so, for them, this may have been the last time we’d all travel together as a family. I understood that rather than trying to control me, they just wanted to spend more time with me, so I chose ‎ to go and we had a fantastic time together!‎ I think you shouldn’t be in such a hurry to grow up. Treasure the time you have with your parents now as neither you nor they will be around forever.‎ I hope my own experience helps you and that you find a solution.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文为应用说明文。根据Alice的邮件内容，给Alice回一封邮件,内容包括:1.感谢她的信任；2.回应她的请求；3.说明你的理由。‎ ‎【详解】本文是一篇建议信。根据Alice的问题“即在今年父母希望和她一起度过夏天，但她更喜欢和朋友一起去玩”,不知如何做。要你给Alice回一封邮件,内容包括:1.感谢她的信任；2.回应她的请求；3.说明你的理由。‎ 根据写作要求可知，本文是一封信。所以写作要遵循信的格式。首先要读信的内容弄清Alice的问题，然后再针对问题写信。信的内容主要包括三部分。第一部分叙述写信的原因并要感谢她的信任，可用一些表达感谢的词语如thank sb.for.. ,appreciate for ,be honorable to do…等。第二部分主要回应她的请求，即给出她一些建议及说明理由。如向父母坦承自己要与朋友在一起并对此作出解释，以取得父母的同意和谅解。或是建议她与父母一起度假期以及为何这么做的原因。最后一部分表达愿望。其中第二部分是重点，给出建议时用词在委婉，易接受。‎ ‎【点睛】本文要点完整，语句通顺，用词委婉，易于让人接受。两篇范文运用了大量的高级词汇，运用了大量的从句，句式较为灵活多变。‎ 范文1中运用的高级词汇如， be flattered to, have such confidence in, more importantly， provide sb. with sth., get in touch with, resist doing sth., up to you to sb.。文中有复杂句，如I’m flattered to know you have such confidence in my opinions that you would write to me for advice, but more importantly I’m sorry to read that you’re having this problem with your parents. 和I think that you should explain to your parents that you are mature enough to travel without their supervision；宾语从句why don’t you show them where you plan to go, who you’re going with and where you will stay； It’s up to you to gently show them it is time to loosen the strings 和. I hope this advice will be useful to you and good luck with your decision.；状语从句：It might also help if you introduce your friends to reassure them.‎ 范文2中的高级词汇，如：from one’s point of view; go to university ; rather than;in such a hurry to grow up; neither …nor …文中运用的句式也非常灵活，有复杂句I can feel from your email that this issue with your parents is greatly affecting you and really appreciate that you trust me enough to want my advice；定语从句：Treasure the time you have with your parents now as neither you nor they will be around forever；宾语从句：I hope my own experience helps you and that you find a solution.这些给文章增添了色彩。‎ ‎ ‎
