Zones The library is divided into different zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work. Computers ‎ You can use your own computer to connect to the Wi-Fi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor. Group-study Places If you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2-3 people and others can hold up to 6-8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps. There are 40 group-study rooms that must be booked via the website. To book, you need an active University account and a valid University card. You can use a room three hours per day, nine hours at most per week. Storage of study material The library has lockers for students to store course literature. When you have obtained at least 40 credits (学分), you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a year’s rental period. Rules to be followed Mobile phone conversations are not permitted anywhere in the library. Keep your phone on silent as if you were in a lecture and exit the library if you need to receive calls.

A student can rent a locker in the library if he ______.‎ A. can afford the rental fee B. attends certain courses ‎ ‎ C. has nowhere to put his books. D. has earned the required credits B In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?"‎ H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.‎ Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas.  The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.‎ But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice‎ ‎Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.‎ Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?‎ ‎25. The explorers in H. G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the “moon ‎ people”____________.‎ A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology ‎26. What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to?‎ A. Discovering the moon’s inner space.     B. Using the earth’s inner space.‎ C. Meeting the “moon people” again.       D. Traveling to outer space.‎ ‎27. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?‎ A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.   B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.‎ C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.       D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.‎ ‎28. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Alice‎ ‎Cities –- cities of the future      B. Space travel with H. G. Wells C. Enjoy living underground               D. Building down, not up C When you eat out in a restaurant, it is not unusual to hear people yelling, “Let me get this one!” and sometimes see them pushing or arm wrestling to fight for the privilege of paying the bill. ‎ ‎ These fighters are often very loud and active. Each person involved shows an honest desire to pick up the bill, and in the end, all the people at the table give the winner praise and gratitude. ‎ In fact, figuring out who will get the bill is always a headache for Chinese people at formal meals. Although the people hosting the meal are very likely to pay the check, it is a common practice to make a token(装样子的) effort to pay the bill, but you will embarrass them if you do end up actually chipping in some cash. ‎ ‎ In recent years, going Dutch has been embraced by many young people. But older generations who fear “losing face” still find it embarrassing and stingy (小气的) to calculate each person’s share of the bill. As travel guide brand Lonely Planet noted, it is considered “the height of unsophistication (不懂人情世故)”.‎ ‎ But these days, thanks to digital payment apps, splitting the bill electronically is becoming a widely-accepted idea. Even people from older generations may be tempted to do so. ‎ ‎ By scanning a QR code and paying the share via social networking tool WeChat and e-commerce app Alipay on their smartphones in one easy click, urban Chinese are finding it easier to save them the embarrassment of figuring out each person’s payment when they order a meal.‎ ‎ This function “has made going Dutch less hassle (麻烦) and more fun in China”, CNN noted. ‎ ‎ “Because of their convenience, many of us are never without our phones.” And person-to-person mobile payment services are incredibly easy to use and save the trouble of dealing with change,” said 18-year-old student in China. “You can also leave funny notes using emoji (表情符号) like a bowl of rice or a cup of tea to describe a meal that you have shared.”‎ ‎29. What is the article mainly about?‎ A. The Chinese tradition of dining out with friends.‎ B. A new trend of splitting the bill in China.‎ C. How social networking tools have influenced our daily lives.‎ D. Why people in China argue over who pays the bill when dining out.‎ ‎30. Many Chinese people make a token effort to pay the bill because .‎ A. They don’t want to be considered unsophisticated ‎ B. They want praise and gratitude from their friends C. They consider it an honor to host the meal and pay the bill D. They find it hard to work out how much each person needs to pay ‎31. According to the article, what are the advantages of using digital payment apps to split the bill? ‎ a. They’re easier to use and more interesting.‎ b. They save the trouble of dealing with change.‎ c. They make it easier to figure out how much money each person had to pay.‎ d. They make people less embarrassed to split the bill.‎ A. a, b B. b. c C. a, b, d ‎ D. b, c, d D ‎ Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It’s fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You’ll realize what’s changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here. If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It’s empty, but it’s where my earliest memories are. There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween------when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents’ room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime ----- waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning. I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned. Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it’s where I’ll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don’t mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I’m home.‎ ‎32. Why does the author call her parents’ bed her “safe zone” (Paragraph 3)? ‎ A. It is her favorite place to play. B. Her needs can be satisfied there. ‎ C. Her grandparents’ photos are lined on each side. D. Her parents always play together with her there.‎ ‎33. What can be learned from the passage?‎ A. The old furniture is still in the author’s first bedroom.‎ B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.‎ C. The author’s favorite room in her first home is the dining room. ‎ D. Many people of the author’s age can still find their first physical homes.‎ ‎34. Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.‎ A. Open the window at night B. lie down in bed to have a dream ‎ C. try to bring back a sense of home D. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom ‎35. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?‎ A. To express how much she is attached to her home. B. To declare how much she loves her first house.‎ C. To describe the state of her family. D. To look back on her childhood.‎ 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ What do you do if your child tells you that they want to choose a major where they aren’t likely to make a lot of money? Or what if you’re worried about their happiness, how they will repay their student loans and when they will get a job after graduation? 36 ‎ Talk about the economics of their choice. It’s important that your child chooses a field they’re excited about. 37 If your child hasn’t yet thought about the student loan payments they’ll be making after graduation, that can be a good place to start the conversation. Suggest your child research the job prospects (前景) as ‎ well as average salaries for majors they’re interested in. If they still want to major in the low-salary field, you might suggest they go to a less expensive college.‎ ‎ 38 Your child might be passionate about majoring in a field where their job prospects are slim and you might be afraid of discouraging them by suggesting something else. In that case, ask them if they are open to minoring (辅修) in that field and majoring in a more marketable field. Sometimes the particular major/minor combination is the key to success on the job market.‎ Find ways to make the major marketable. If your child doesn’t want to change their major or add a minor, encourage them to get job experience while in college. 39 Many employers won’t care what students majored in if they come to a new position with relevant job experience and great references.‎ Make sure it’s a good fit. Before they make a decision, encourage your child to meet with an adviser who can help them have a better knowledge of the major they want to choose. Have them talk to people who are currently working in the field and to students who are currently majoring in the field. 40 ‎ A. Suggest a second major.‎ B. Turn to an adviser for help.‎ C. Here are some tips for you.‎ D. But it’s also necessary to consider the finance. ‎ E. Practical work experience helps ensure a good job.‎ F. This will help them determine if that major is right for them.‎ G. You’re worried that your child won't like their chosen major.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 （共三节，满分55分） 第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后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，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。‎ Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to    41   how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once ‎ I    42    that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and    43   friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was    44   , nothing about my term in France was what I    45  .       ‎ The moment I arrived in Paris, I was    46   by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting   47   I received some shocking news from my program coordinator（协调人）: there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to    48   out of one family’s house into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a    49 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(诱惑) to    50  my native language, I asked not to be    51   with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I    52  myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian（巴西人） the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDS! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the  53  .      ‎ I left France with many  54  , so when people asked me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always    55 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends   56   France we enjoyed together. I love how people    57 seem so different, but end up being so   58 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people   59   to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.
