We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience traveling across China and eating local food, I really wondered “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!‎ As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of ‎ the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take-away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, “How did I live before without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!‎ In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came across my first Mobike: “Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon”, I thought as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I pondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!‎ China‎ today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sure as I continue my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that China’s rapid and innovative development is bringing out.‎ ‎24.

She was searching for her favorite songs so she could copy the lyrics(歌词) down in a notebook. While daydreaming, Brown casually turned the dial on the radio until she heard something that made her stop. It was a voice that sounded familiar. Back in those days, news clips (新闻摘要) were played at movie theaters. Brown recognized the voice from one of the news films she had seen. ‎ ‎“I heard Amelia Earhart in a panicked voice, a heartbreaking voice,” Brown recalled in a 2007 interview. “She was saying, ‘This is Amelia Earhart Putnam, please help me. Please hear me.” ‎ Brown quickly began writing down what she heard---parts of desperate conversations between the woman she believed was Earhart and an unknown man. Later, she decided that the man must have been Earhart’s navigator (领航员), Fred Noonan. As the signal faded in and out, Brown never left the radio. She scribbled (潦草地写) away as Earhart and Noonan struggled for control of the radio. Earhart tried to prevent Noonan from leaving the plane after they had apparently crash-landed. All the while, Earhart repeated strings of numbers and mentioned rising water. After about three hours, Earhart and Noonan were seemingly forced to abandon the plane as it was filled with water, and the distress calls (遇险呼救) stopped. ‎ Brown and her father both tried to give her notes to the United States Coast Guard, but they were told the situation was under control. The search for Earhart was abandoned after a great effort was made, and Brown eventually stopped trying to tell people what she heard. But she kept her notebook. In 2000, people from an organization researching Earhart’s disappearance asked to see it. The researchers were convinced that Brown’s notes were reliable. If the researchers are right, the notes are a priceless, yet sorrowful, record of the sad ending of ‎ an American hero. ‎ ‎28. Betty Brown stayed by the radio for so long because she _______. ‎ A. was waiting for her music to come back on ‎ B. enjoyed recording people’s conversations ‎ C. wanted to gather more information about Earhart’s situation ‎ D. wanted to take notes for a book about Earhart ‎ ‎29. From the Coast Guard’s reaction to Brown, we can infer that the Coast Guard ________. ‎ A. did not want to look for Earhart ‎ B. did not believe Brown heard Earhart ‎ C. wanted Brown to help them find Earhart ‎ D. already knew where Earhart was ‎ ‎30. Why did Brown most likely keep her notebook for so long? ‎ A. She hoped that it would be worth some money. ‎ B. She felt Amelia Earhart would someday be found. ‎ C. She wanted to write a song about Amelia Earhart. ‎ D. She believed it contained valuable information. ‎ ‎31. Which word can best describe Brown? ‎ A. Determined ‎ B. Forgetful ‎ C. Independent ‎ D. Careless D Many people confuse hard-working people with workaholics(工作狂). What are some characteristics of workaholics? How could a person tell that he/she is a workaholic? A workaholic works long hours, at the expense of personal relationships and health. When not working, they’re thinking about work. Work influences their mood; When work is going well, they’re up; when work is going less well, they’re down.‎ Working, or simply being busy, can be a hard habit to break. When workaholics aren’t busy working—or doing something to promote their work—they feel anxious and guilty. They hang onto jobs for dear life and do everything they can to ensure they’re essential.‎ There is a link between health problems and workaholism. Just because work itself is a respectable pursuit(追求) doesn’t mean that an addiction to it is any less damaging than other sorts of addictions. A number of studies show that workaholism has been associated with a wide range of health problems, such as anxiety and heart disease.‎ Besides health problems, being a workaholic brings other negative effects as well. A study published in the American Journal of Family Therapy found that working too much negatively influenced an employee’s marriage. This isn’t surprising, since if you’re married to your work it can be difficult to be married to anything, or anyone, else. There have also been studies looking at the influence of workaholic parents on their children and the news isn’t good. Adult children of workaholic fathers experienced more depression and anxiety and a weaker sense of self.‎ However, there are also many positive aspects to working hard and to an increasing devotion to career. Hard work can bring great rewards. For many, it’s how they develop feelings of self worth and confidence and purpose. If you have a workaholic in your life you might point out the things he or she is missing out on while at work, whether it’s a child’s soccer game, a good book, or a yoga class. Seek to understand why the person feels the need to work so much and support them in finding a resolution.‎ ‎32. What can we learn from the next?‎ A. Work has stronger effects on workaholics than on others.‎ B. Hard-working people enjoy better health than other people do.‎ C. Workaholics work to build better relationships.‎ D. workaholics care more about their health than others do.‎ ‎33. When workaholics are not busy working, they .‎ A. promote their work B. form a bad habit easily C. feel uneasy and insecure D. have a chance to prove their own value ‎34. What is the author’s attitude towards working hard?‎ A. Doubtful.‎ B. Objective.‎ C. Negative.‎ D. Curious.‎ ‎35. What can we do to help a workaholic in life?‎ A. Force him to join family activities.‎ B. Reward him for his hard work.‎ C. Help him find self worth and confidence.‎ D. Try to be understanding and supporting.‎ 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。‎ The winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences studies how people spend their money. 36 .The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is presenting the Economics Prize to Professor Angus Deaton of Princeton University in New Jersey. The Nobel committee says his research has mainly dealt with three questions: How do consumers distribute their spending among different goods? How much of society’s wealth is spent and how much is saved? 37 Mr. Deaton used household surveys to collect detailed information about how families spend their money. For example in one study, the Princeton professor examined the relationship between poverty and the amount of calories in the food people ate.‎ The Nobel committee says Mr. Deaton’s research has shown how the clever use of household data can shed light on(阐明) issues such as the relationship between income and calorie intake, and the extent of gender discrimination with the family. People often asked him the question why he paid so much attention to household information. 38 . “Well, it’s individually…it’s about people in the end. You have to understand what makes people tick, and what’s good for them. And for me it’s always been about trying to understand behavior and to try to infer from that behavior, you know, how people are doing.”‎ ‎ 39 . Subjects of his research have included happiness, well-being and aging. At a press conference last month, the Nobel Prize winner said he was pleased that his work had been recognized. 40 . “I think we have had a remarkable decrease for the past 20 to 30 years. I do expect that to continue,” he said.‎ A. Are you a saver or a spender?‎ B. He told reporters he believed poverty would decrease.‎ C. And, how do we best measure and study well-being and poverty?‎ D. He said that his studies were mainly about people and their behavior.‎ E. He also has explored how spending can affect both living conditions and poverty.‎ F. He examined the close relationship between poverty and the kind of food people ate.‎ G. The Nobel committee also praises Mr. Deaton’s work because it uses detailed information about real people, not theoretical(理论的)ideas.‎ 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，从短文后所给各题四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Indu Ma'am was everything a school principal shouldn't look like.
