We learn from the ads that the Enterprise Shopping Centre needs a person who________.‎ A. is aged between 24 and 40 B. may do some training work C. should deal with general duties D. can work for about a month ‎3. Which position is open to recent school graduates?‎ A. Producer, London Kiss. B. Father Christmas.‎ C. Accountants Assistant. D. Software Trainer.‎ ‎4. What kind of person would probably apply to Palmlace Limited?‎ A. One with GCSE grade C level. B. One with some office experience.‎ C. One having good computer knowledge. D. One trained in producing music programmes.‎ B Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. ‎ One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it. ‎ ‎ In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. ‎ ‎ The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. ‎ ‎ The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development. ‎ ‎5. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?‎ A. People remember well what they learned in childhood. ‎ B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups. ‎ C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words. ‎ D. Stories for children are easy to remember. ‎ ‎6. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________. ‎ A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules C. making a comparison D. using examples ‎7. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______. ‎ A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies ‎8. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?‎ A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It’s helpful only in a limited way. ‎ C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’ learning interest.‎ C The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and ‎ services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements (ads) could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.‎ ‎ By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.‎ ‎ Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm’s name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.‎ ‎ Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as “advertising agencies”. The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism (消费主义) as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the “right” products.‎ ‎9. What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?‎ A. Merchants were employed to promote products. ‎ B. Ad messages were shouted out in public places.‎ C. Product information was included in books. ‎ D. Ad signs were put up in towns.‎ ‎10. What does the word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? ‎ A. Advertising in newspapers. B .Including pictures in ads.‎ C. Selling goods in markets. D. Working with ad agencies.‎ ‎11. The 18th century advertising was special in its ________.‎ A. growing spending B. printing materials C. advertising companies D. attractive designs ‎12. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?‎ A. The Story of Advertising B. The Value of Advertising Designs C. The Role of Newspaper Advertising D. The Development of Printing for Advertising D ‎ ‎ Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.‎ ‎ Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out. ‎ ‎ The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons ‎ of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention. ‎ ‎ Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together. ‎ ‎ The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child—talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while. ‎ ‎13. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The experience of the only child being with mother.‎ B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.‎ C. The happy life of two families.‎ D. The basic needs of children.‎ ‎14. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.‎ A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly ‎15. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?‎ A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often.‎ C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。‎ Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say – problem, I don’t want you in my life.‎ ‎ 16 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.‎ But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.‎ Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 17 Talking helps you move on and let go.‎ Write your problems. 18 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.‎ Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 19 ‎ ‎ Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 20 Your problems might just ‎ seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.‎ Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.‎ A. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you. ‎ B. When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?‎ C. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I?‎ D. Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born.‎ E. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.‎ F. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with.‎ G. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success.

The number of short-sighted students has increased from 77% in 2010 to 93.5% in 2013, while that of overweight students from 38% to 57.2%. Nearly 15% more students don’t have enough sleep because of more homework. Besides, over 21% more students become mentally unhealthy. It seems to me that the reasons for this lie in heavier burden of study and more homework, thus making students unable to spare any time to take exercise or have enough sleep. To improve students’ health, we call for less homework. Only in this way can students get plenty of sleep and be more healthy. Proper diets and exercise should also be paid attention to so that they won’t easily put on weight. With their heavy burdens removed, students can keep in normal mental health.‎
