I wanted to develop one, so I went to trade school. I entered a cabinetmaking（家具制造）program. I didn’t think I would be good at building furniture. I’m not handy. Nobody in my family is.‎ ‎ I had great teachers, but making furniture is hard. There are so many steps and something can go wrong at each one. I couldn’t even get organized. My toolbox always looked like a hurricane had gone through it.‎ ‎ I didn’t fully know what I was devoting myself to at the beginning, but I kept going to class. I tried to wrap my brain around the math. The projects forced me to solve new kinds of problems. My brain started to build new connections. Working in this new physical manner and giving it 100 percent of my effort had huge benefits for my mental health. I get over my fear of embarrassment and asked for help at every opportunity.‎ ‎ I spent that year truly learning. True learning is a humbling（令人谦卑的）experience, especially for those of us who are learning a new set of skills. I could understand exactly what was wrong with the furniture I made, but I couldn’t fix my mistakes. And yet, I kept trying. And failing again. Until I learned to fail better.‎ ‎ You’re going to be bad at anything when you start out, but I was pretty bad right to the end. Even so, I finished the program—with honors, no less! My grades were helped by my good written work. Having to constantly push beyond my comfort zone has made me a more well-rounded person. Maybe most importantly, trade school gave me a more realistic idea of my strengths and limitations. I’m stronger than I thought!‎ ‎21. Which words can best describe the author during the one-year learning?‎ ‎ A. Single-minded and confident. B. Intelligent and creative.‎ ‎ C. Hard-working and determined. D. Modest and flexible.‎ ‎22. What can we know about the author?‎ ‎ A. The author got a poor grade on hand work.‎ ‎ B. The author feared to socialize with strangers.‎ ‎ C. The author was skilled in solving math problems.‎ ‎ D. The author once got tired of difficult lessons.‎ ‎23. What does the author want to convey?‎ ‎ A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning is more than a skill.‎ ‎ C. Failure teaches success D. Skills will never be a burden.‎ B ‎ The kitchen is not just where we prepare meals. In many places, the kitchen is the heart of the ‎ home. It’s where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures and annoyances we met during the day while we are making dinner or having a bite to eat. So, it can be a very busy room in the house.‎ ‎ Sometimes you need order in the kitchen for things to run smoothly. And sometimes you need one person to be in charge. Imagine you are cooking dinner for your friends. As you are making the soup, your friend Sara tastes it and says, “This needs more salt.” So, she adds more salt. Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh black pepper into the pot and some dried herbs. Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar. What will the soup be like? You are happy to spend time with your friends. But, quite frankly, all their opinions about your soup are becoming annoying. Worst of all, you taste the soup and it’s awful! And that is where we get the expression “too many cooks spoil the soup”.‎ ‎ This expression describes an age-old problem: If too many people help to complete a task, it may not go very well. But, you may think, “If many people are trying to get something done, the task will get done faster.” After all, American English also has the expression “many hands make light work”.‎ ‎ To answer that point, I will draw your attention to the word “cook”. Now, the cook is the leader in the kitchen. They may have assistant to help them. But the cook has the final say. So, what if a kitchen has many cooks? Who is the leader? Everyone! And that’s where the trouble comes.‎ ‎24. What does the author think of the kitchen according to the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. It is crowded in many houses. ‎ B. It is where we feel our body and soul.‎ ‎ C. It helps to brighten up people’s day. ‎ D. It serves as the most useful place in a home ‎25. Which situation agrees with “too many cooks spoil the soup”?‎ ‎ A. A group of students get a task done together.‎ ‎ B. Some volunteers discuss how to help others.‎ ‎ C. Five designers want their idea to be adopted.‎ ‎ D. Many laid-off workers learn how to be a cook.‎ ‎26. Which of the following is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. What Happens with Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen?‎ ‎ B. Should a Cook Be Open to Suggestions?‎ ‎ C. What Could a Cook Do to Everyone’s Satisfaction?‎ ‎ D. Why Will Too Many Cooks Work in the Kitchen?‎ C ‎ Famous for its tolerance as well as its narrow houses and broad canals, Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitors to head elsewhere.‎ ‎ Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says, “We don’t want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion Euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so loved by tourists, we just have so many coming to the city.”‎ ‎ Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stops advertising the country as a tourist destination. Their “Perspective 2030” report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on “destination management” rather than “destination promoting”. The document also describes the country’s future strategy, acknowledging that Amsterdam’s livability will be severely influenced by “visitor overload” if action isn’t taken.‎ ‎ Solutions listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shutting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as ‎ spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands. Some of these measures have already come into play. Last year, the famous “I Amsterdam” sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum, the city’s main art gallery. The two-meter high letters have been moved to various lesser-known neighborhoods in a bid to entice travelers to leave the center of the city.‎ ‎ But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals, van Loon fears Amsterdam has lost its uniqueness forever. “The reason tourists come here is that there’s something in the character of Amsterdam they love,” she explains. “But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place.”‎ ‎27. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 indicate?‎ ‎ A. Venice is suffering from overtourism. ‎ ‎ B. Amsterdam doesn’t necessarily copy Venice.‎ ‎ C. Venice does more poorly than Amsterdam.‎ ‎ D. Amsterdam is more popular than Venice.‎ ‎28. Why did Amsterdam advice visitors to head elsewhere?‎ ‎ A. To reduce its pressure of mass visitors.‎ ‎ B. To turn the focus on destination promoting.‎ ‎ C. To promote the development of other areas.‎ ‎ D. To avoid much spending on city management.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 4 mean?‎ ‎ A. Force B. Persuade. C. Inform. D. Allow.‎ ‎30. What’s van Loon’s attitude to the measure?‎ ‎ A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Ambiguous.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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目。‎ How to meet the locals while travelling ‎ When you are travelling abroad or even domestically, there are numerous opportunities for meeting local residents of your destination. 31 It can become the highlight of your trip. Here are some tips on how to meet the locals while travelling.‎ ‎ Chat with people online. Dozens of instant messaging websites and travel forums allow you to connect with people who live where you will be visiting. ___32___ This will help you trip better and let you get a sense of how the people in the area really live in advance.‎ ‎ 33 On the plane, train, cruise, or bus ride to your destination, try starting a conversation with someone. The chances are that you may find a person native to the area or who knows someone that lives there.‎ ‎ Ask questions. Upon arriving at your destination, ask the staff at your hotel, resort, or lodge where any locally popular attractions are located. You may receive a much more personalized answer than a traditional guidebook can provide.‎ ‎ Be polite. Kindness goes a long way, especially from tourists visiting a foreign destination. Make sure that you research the customs, traditions, and cultures of the people you’ll be interacting with. 34 These all can help you communicate better.‎ ‎ Use community-marketplace platforms. Various travel communities allow you to use services that the locals provide, including accommodation, dining experiences and transport. 35 ‎ ‎ Visit smaller towns.

It might take more time than usual for his friends to get ready for this activity. Piebe is 79 and Martey ‎ 94. Mr. Duman lives at a care home in Deventer, Holland. His housemates’ average age is over 85. He has been there for three years, with five other university students and around 150 elderly residents. This is a project that provides them with free housing in exchange for 30 hours per month of their time living as a “good neighbor”.‎ ‎ Both parties appear to benefit from the program. Cash-tripped young people like Mr. Duman save much money in rent every year. Living with the old also helps them learn to be more patient as a result of the experience; the pace of life is slower at the home. For another, the elderly enjoy young people’s being around. A resident puts his thumb up for the project: “We have parties, yoga classes, chatting here. Last week at my birthday, they put me into the walker and race me through the hall. Never a happier time than that!”‎ ‎ Humanitas is not the first institution to urge old and young people to live together. Non-profit organizations across Spain and care homes in Britain, France and Cleveland, Ohio, have also experimented with the idea. A team from Finland visited Deventer and was inspired to start a similar project.‎ ‎ Such projects could help handle loneliness, an increasing problem across the rich world. The very old, the sick or disabled are most at risk of feeling lonely. It goes hand in hand with social isolation（孤立）. About 18% of adult EU citizens see friends or family at most only once a month. Nearly half of the elderly over 65 say that television or pets are their main form of company. Loneliness is also considered to have serious health consequences. A study found that lonely people had on average a 26% higher risk of dying than those who were not lonely. And the problem may only get worse. ‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案 听力：‎ ‎1-5 CAACB 6-10 CABAB 11-15 BACAC 16-20 CBBCA 阅读：‎ ‎21-23 CAB 24-26 BCA 27-30 AABC 七选五：‎ ‎31-35 FGADE 完型：‎ ‎36-40 BCAAD 41-45 CBDCA 46-50 DBDAC 51-55 ACBBD 语法填空：‎ ‎56 has been 57 planned 58 entering 59 the 60 shelves ‎ ‎61 less 62 which 63 currently 64 from 65 to transfer 应用文：‎ Dear Mr. Brown,‎ ‎ With the approaching of the English Play Festival, I’m writing to ask a favor of you.‎ ‎ All my classmates are currently devoted to the rehearsal of The Million Pound Bank Note and our next rehearsal is scheduled in Room 101 at 7 o’clock this Sunday.
