I do my best though. During lunch, I like to sit on the boat dock, and, you guessed it, fish. I don’t eat fish, just for fun, and when I do catch one, I just look at them a minute or two, swell up with pride, and throw them back in.‎ Surely that was a big day for me. When I snatched up my fishing pole, and started reeling(收线) the line in, my heart was filled with expectation. I had a vision come to mind, taking that big fish up to the house in a big bucket of water, and show off in front of my boy.‎ That big fish had gotten himself snagged(勾住) in the weeds on the opposite bank, and I could tell he was a big one, probably my biggest catch ever. I felt him pull, and twist, but no matter how I tried, I couldn’t get him reeled in.‎ Not wanting to hurt the big one, I paddled(划桨) to the opposite bank of the river, while reeling my line in, and came up alongside the weeds he was snagged under. I could feel him pulling on my line. He was big and strong. I just hoped he wasn’t too big to get into my boat. I was going to show my fisherman son a thing or two today, I just knew it. My heart beat with excitement, maybe I could get the boy to take a picture of me with my catch of the day. If it’s big enough, maybe I’ll even make the paper.‎ I finally worked the line free of the weeds, and pulled the big boy up from the water to come meet his momma. My blood ran cold at the horror which came up out of that water instead. The biggest, meanest, ugliest snake I’d ever seen in my life come out of that water, with my fishhook in his mouth, opening wide up.‎ I screamed bloody murder, let go of that line, fell back into the seat of the boat and paddled backward as if my life depended on it. I might have paddled all the way to the Gulf of Mexico if I’d had enough river to get away from that scaled man-eater. ‎ I don’t remember how fast I got out of that boat, but it was real fast. My hands shaking, I called my boy to come down and help me out. I’d finally caught a big one.‎ 21. Why would the author go fishing?‎ A. Because she likes eating fish.‎ B. Because she is a fisherwoman.‎ C. Because her family lives on fish.‎ D. Because fishing is one of her hobbies.‎ 22. In the author’s mind, when she caught the big one, she would probably .‎ A. Sell it to neighbors B. take it back home for lunch C. show it to her son with pride D. report it to the local newspaper 21. How did the author feel when the big one turned out to be a snake? ‎ A. Surprised and excited. B. Shocked and frightened.‎ C. Interested and amazed. D. Satisfied and proud.‎ 22. What can be the best title of the passage? ‎ A. The catch of the day.‎ B. How to fish a snake?‎ C. Fishing is dangerous.‎ D. An experienced fisherwoman.‎ C The Who band have secured that they are working on their first album of new material in 13 years. Lead guitarist Pete Townshend said in a statement that fans could expect “dark Jazz, heavy rock stuff, experimental electronica, sampled stuff and Who-ish tunes that began with a guitar that goes wild”.‎ The album is due later this year. It follows the band’s 11th studio album, Endless Wire, released in 2006, which included a 10-part mini-opera. Guardian music critic Alexis Petridis described it as “a fitting ending to the band’s career”.‎ The group has also made fun of details of a US orchestral tour. Lead singer Roger Daltrey said of the tour: “Be aware Who fans! That just because it’s the Who with an orchestra, in no way will it give up the way Pete and I deliver our music. This will be full-energy Who with horns and bells on.”‎ Daltrey, 74, has said it could be his last tour. “I have to be realistic that this is the age I am and voices start to go after a while,” he told the Mirror. “I don’t want to be not as good as I was two years ago.” The group previously suggested that a Las Vegas village in 2017 would be the start of their “long goodbye”.‎ Townshend, 73, had said he would be devoted to the tour only if they had new material. “This has nothing to do with wanting a hit album or the fact the Who need a new album. It’s purely personal. It’s about my pride, my sense of self-worth and self-dignity(自尊) as a writer.”‎ The pair communicate through their management. Daltrey told the Mirror, “Townshend ‎ wanted a year off, so I haven’t spoken to him for a year. That is how we are. He needs that time away.” He added, “For us it is music to fight to and if it ever loses that fighting edge – which still exists between Pete and I – then I will stop. Because then I will be cheating my audience.”‎ ‎29. The typical style of the Who band is probably .‎ ‎ A. orchestra B. classical C. electonica D. rock ‎30. The reason of “a fitting ending to the band’s career” is mainly because of .‎ ‎ A. both the members’ old age B. their less creative music styles ‎ ‎ C. the band’s decreasing popularity ‎ D. the dissatisfaction of the fans of the band ‎31. According to Townshend, he would never go on the music tour unless .‎ ‎ A. the both members were invited ‎ B. some new music stuff could be created ‎ C. he was well recognized as a great writer ‎ ‎ D. they could hit the top with the new album ‎32. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. The pair didn’t get along with each other.‎ ‎ B. The pair have lost their trust in the audience.‎ ‎ C. The pair will always save the best for the fans.‎ ‎ D. The pair need more time to prepare their music.‎ D London is considering introducing car-free days in the hope of dealing with the city’s air pollution crisis(危机) that experts say is responsible for thousands of early deaths each year.‎ Officials at City Hall were due to meet on Tuesday to examine how best to roll out a ban across specific areas of the capital on different days this year—with “more ambitious plans” in the preparation for 2019.‎ A spokeswoman for the mayor, Sadiq Khan, said: “He is determined to do everything in his power to protect the health of Londoners and improve walking, cycling and public transport and reduce Londoners’ dependency on polluting cars.”‎ A source at City Hall said details were still being hammered out but they were hoping to introduce separate car-free days in London city this year, with the hope for city-wide car-free days next year.‎ ‎“The mayor already supports a number of car-limited days for annual events in London, and he has asked City Hall officials to consider additional opportunities for car-free activities as part of his healthy streets vision,” said the spokesman.‎ ‎“Solving toxic(有毒的) emissions from the most polluting cars is a key part of the hard-hitting measures the mayor has introduced to help clean up London’s air, from delivering the Toxicity-Charge (T-Charge) in central London, to the early introduction of the Ultra-Low Emission Zone, and transforming the bus fleet.”‎ Bridget Fox, from Campaign for Better Transport, one of 50 organizations which wrote to Khan to call on him to sign up to a car-free day earlier this year, said, “creating traffic free spaces, even for a day, transforms places for the better. Hopefully, car-free days are a great way to cut traffic across London. We hope every community in the capital will be inspired to take part.”‎ ‎33. What caused thousands of early deaths according to London officials?‎ ‎ A. Car-free days in London.‎ ‎ B. Poor air problem in the city.‎ C. Financial crisis of the country.‎ ‎ D. Serious car accidents on the road.‎ ‎34. What can be used to replace the underlined word “hammered out”?‎ ‎ A. carried. B. discussed. C. typed. D. imagined ‎35. The most important measure to clean up London’s air is .‎ ‎ A. to introduce a new living zone B. to charge the people for delivering ‎ C. to deal with the most polluting cars ‎ D. to change the city buses for the better 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。  ‎ Few things are more difficult than delivering bad news. 36 Or announce to team members that, because of slow sales, your company won’t be able to pay bonuses this year.‎ ‎ Or tell people that, because business is so good, they’ll all have to work on an upcoming holiday weekend.‎ ‎ Because you’re a caring person, you’d like to make the bad news easier to take. So you sidle into the subject, talking about other topics first. You choose indirect language. 37 ‎ ‎ That’s why you may be surprised to learn that the worst way to deliver bad news is to sugarcoat it. According to new research, people on the receiving end of bad news would much rather you rip off the bandage than beat around the bush.‎ ‎ In a study conducted by Brigham Young University, participants received a range of bad-news scenarios(情景). 38 And then they were asked to select their preferred method. In nearly every case, what participants wanted most was frankness, preferring that the bearer of bad news give it to them straight.‎ ‎ That means that the next time you need to deliver bad news to one employee or the whole team, you should communicate simply, clearly and directly. Here’s how:‎ ‎• Before you begin, craft your key message—the 15 to 20 words that sum up what you need to say. 39 ‎ ‎• Avoid jargon(行话). This is not the time to disguise the facts in a thicket of $50 words. Use simple, straightforward language.‎ ‎• Think through what questions employees will probably ask—and make sure you’ve figured out the answers.‎ • ‎ 40 Of course you’re stressed about the fact that you have to share bad news, but you can still express sympathy.‎ A. Show that you care.‎ B. Use indirect language.‎ C. You can deliver your message in the best way possible.‎ D. And you try to do whatever you can to soften the blow.‎ E. When it’s time to share the news, say this message first F. For each one, they were given a choice of two approaches.‎ G. Let’s say you’ve got to tell an employee that he or she is being laid off.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共三节, 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, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Dad was used to going to basketball games to watch his sons PLAY.

I remember running up and down the court a few times. I remember getting the 49 from Mark’s pass as the audience starting counting down the last 50 of the game.

And he was there, where he always was, smiling at me as he always did. And somehow that 56 —just knowing he was there—and I came back to my ‎57 in time to give a sweatier-than-usual hug to him. ‎ And now I’m the one who is in my 50s struggling to keep 58 with a teenage basketball player in my family.
