They lived with the man’s big family-his parents, his brothers, their wives and children. Their family kept an elephant, in which the young woman soon took a great interest. Every day she fed it with fruit and sugar.‎ Three months later the woman went back to her parents’ home, having quarrelled with her husband. Soon the elephant refused to eat and work. It appeared to be ill and heart-broken. One morning after several weeks ,the animal disappeared from the house.‎ ‎ It went to the woman’s home. On seeing her, the elephant waved its trunk and touched her with it. The young woman was so moved (感动) by the act of the animal that she returned to her husband’s home.‎ ‎21. The woman left her new home .‎ A. to visit her own parents in Maliyuwa ‎ B. to see if the elephant would follow her C. because she was angry with her husband ‎ D. because she was tired of the large family ‎22.

It is important to know the body language of every country, or we may be misunderstood. ‎ In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug. ‎ Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two or a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say “Pardon me” or “Excuse me”. ‎ Americans like to look the other person in the eye when they are talking. If you ‎ don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite. ‎ Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing. If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile. ‎ ‎24. Suppose you are meeting a customer from United States, how will you greet him?‎ A. Greet him with a hug B. Shake his hand firmly C. Place a hand on his arm D. Stare at him ‎25. If you stand too close to Americans, they will ________.‎ A. face you directly B. move back C. Say “Pardon me” D. stare at you ‎26. Which of the following statements is True according to the text?‎ A. Americans stand side by side when talking with friends. ‎ B. Americans show their respect by shaking hands weakly. ‎ C. Americans say “Excuse me” to each other when talking. ‎ D. Americans like to look the other person in the eye when talking. ‎ ‎27. If you know nothing about a culture’s body language, you can ________.‎ A. listen carefully with no expression B. hide your opinions C. smile D. stare at others C About six years ago, I was sitting on a plane next to a woman who was extremely energetic. I was tired and wanted to take a nap, but she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself.‎ ‎"Hi, my name is Helga."‎ As we talked, it came up that I had started an organization in high school called R.A.K.E. (Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and said to me, "There is nothing more important in the world than kindness."‎ I was curious about what she had said, and as the plane took off. she began telling me a story about the last time she had flown.‎ It was three years ago and she was heading back to her hometown because her father had become very ill.‎ Just as the plane was about to leave, her father's doctor called to inform her that her father had suddenly passed away. For the three-hour plane ride, she sat in stunned(受惊的) silence,.‎ When she arrived at the airport in her hometown, she walked to the nearest bench(长椅),sat down and cried.‎ For two hours, she sat and wept while thousands of people just walked on by.‎ ‎"Not a single person stopped and asked if I was OK that day. It was on that day that I realized kindness isn't normal. "‎ Helga's words have stuck with me for all these years. I'm reminded all the time that for many of us, kindness is not usually our "default setting (默认设置)".‎ We spend so much time worrying about our own problems that we walk by or ignore other people in need of a bit of kindness.‎ So, I've made it my mission to do my part in making kindness "normal".‎ Now, I travel to schools all across the US to speak about ‎ compassion(同情),empathy(同感),and love.‎ I' m proud to share my stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character, compassion, and kindness.‎ Providing young people with practical ways to exercise kindness makes my job more satisfying than any other I can think of.‎ And when I give my talks, I always have my conversation with Helga in the back of my mind.‎ ‎28. We can know from the first four paragraphs that the author___________.‎ A. was interested in Helga's story B. was angry to be disturbed by Helga C. found Helga a very serious person D. was always eager to make friends ‎ ‎29. During Helga's trip to her hometown, she___________.‎ A. couldn't help but cry on the flight ‎ B. blamed the doctor for not calling her earlier C. came to realize the value of kindness ‎ D. received help from passengers beside her ‎30. How did Helga' s story influence the author?‎ A. He found a better way to exercise kindness.‎ B. He realized that most people were nice and kind.‎ C. He realized the importance of using stories in speech.‎ D. He began teaching others about kindness and found it rewarding.‎ ‎31. The author wrote this article mainly to___________.‎ A. show why kindness isn't normal. ‎ B. explain how he developed his kindness career C. give advice on how to practice kindness ‎ D. share a touching story about kindness ‎ D Cooking programmes and classes for children seem to positively influence children's food preferences and behaviours, according to a recent review. And, although the review didn't look at longterm effects of such programmes, the findings suggest that such programmes might help children develop longlasting healthy habits.‎ This research comes at a time when childhood obesity(肥胖症) rates have been rising rapidly. More than onethird of adolescents(青少年) in the United States were obese in 2012, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This trend has been caused, at least in part, by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s, according to background information in the study. ‎ Cooking education programmes, such as Food Explorers, teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them. They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group, and the kids make something based on the lesson, such as fruit or vegetable salad. Depending on the programme, kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents, the review explained.‎ The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programmes. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12‎ ‎ years old, according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient programme to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods, which helps them build healthy habits.‎ The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in(参与) their children's eating habits. Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home. Children are more comfortable at home, which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.‎ ‎32. What can we infer from the second paragraph? ‎ A．Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habits.‎ B．Eating out frequently causes obesity.‎ C．Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012.‎ D．Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the study?‎ A．Parents should let their kids cook independently at home.‎ B．Children who participate in cooking programmes are less likely to become obese.‎ C．A greater willingness to try new foods helps build healthy habits. ‎ D．Children who take cooking courses are more likely to choose fruits and vegetables as adults.‎ ‎34. Which of the following does this passage belong to?‎ A．Education Systems. ‎ B．Public Health Research. ‎ C．Parentchild Relationship. ‎ D．Science and Technology. ‎ ‎35. The purpose of the passage is________．‎ A．to inform the readers ‎ B．to entertain the readers C．to discuss with the readers ‎ D．to warn the readers 第二节：任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据内容，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 the right job is probably one of the most important yet the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job？” __36__‎ There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, doortodoor approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. __37__He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the ‎ ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining he couldn't sail because a crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place. __38__‎ ‎__39__If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑) his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.‎ Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. __40__ And within a year this person had become general manager of the company.‎ A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.‎ B．People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.‎ C．It's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisements in newspapers. ‎ D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.‎ E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company's faults.‎ F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.‎ G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.‎ 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、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。‎ A little boy invited his mother to attend his school’s first teacher-parent meeting.
