He could move his head and parts of his fingers but nothing else. He had a servant who cut up his food and placed it on a special mechanically powered fork that he would use to eat.‎ He saw me staring at him and invited me to join him at his table. His name was Stephen. For several hours we sat at that table and we got to know each other on a deeply personal level. I had never known a man who was more radiant(容光焕发), more energizing to talk and get to know than Stephen.‎ Stephen used to be a very successful businessman in Denver. He was in the natural gas business. Thirteen years before, when he was forty, he was waiting for news of a natural gas discovery to occur any moment. ‎ He said, “I had so much nervous energy. I saw the storm clouds gathering, and I decided to clean out the gutters rather than sitting around waiting for this gas well to come in.”‎ He climbed up the ladder to clear the piles of pine needles on the roof. As he backed up, he accidentally fell off the roof. He landed on his back. He was paralyzed (瘫痪) for the rest of his life, except ‎ for his head and his hands.‎ I asked him, “How do you do it all? How do you suddenly stop hiking, fishing, and running marathons?”‎ He said, “There are three things you have to do when something like this happens. The first thing you have to do is adjust. The second thing you do is adjust. And the third thing you do is adjust.”‎ He said, “By adjusting to your abilities, Bill, you have to change your self-expectations. If you can’t be a physical athlete any longer, then perhaps you can be a spiritual athlete.” He was.‎ ‎24. The author noticed Stephen at the coffee shop because .‎ A. he was staring at the author. B. he looked very energetic.‎ C. he ate in a special way. D. he cut up his food ‎25. How did Stephen adjust to his disability?‎ A. He accepted himself as he was. B. He made new friends everywhere.‎ C. He gave up exercising regular. D. He turned to the author for help.‎ ‎26. “A spiritual athlete” Stephen mentioned in the last paragraph might be .‎ A. optimistic and open-minded. B. faithful and easygoing.‎ C. humorous and sensitive. D. sympathetic and caring.‎ ‎27. When the accident happened, .‎ A. Stephen was worried a gas well would erupt.‎ B. Stephen was expecting a piece of good news.‎ C. Stephen was nervous about the coming storm.‎ D. Stephen was having the gutters repaired.‎ C One of the most outspoken supporters that I know of women and girls is actually a man. As co-founder of the ONE Campaign, my friend Bono spends a lot of time speaking out against global poverty (KP). Together, we’re working to get out a simple, powerful message: poverty is sexist.‎ Women and girls are more likely to be in poverty, less likely to get an education and more likely to suffer bad health. And when they are born into poverty, it is much more difficult for them to lift themselves and their families out of it Why? One reason is that breaking out of poverty takes time and that is a resource women around the world are short on. On average, women spend about twice as much time as men in doing the unpaid work ‎ that makes life possible for everyone, like cooking, washing, cleaning, shopping and caring. In developing countries, the gap is even much bigger. As a result, women have no time to finish their education, learn new skills, open a business, develop personal relationships or even go to the doctor. They dream of creating a better future for their children, but they can not spare the hours to put those dreams that they have into action.‎ The fact that the potential of so many women and girls is going unrealized is a sad thing -- but it is also an opportunity for us. We need to recognize, reduce and redistribute the burden of work that is holding them back. Because if women have time to invest(s) in themselves and their ideas, they could transform the world. ‎ ‎28. According to the author, what makes it more difficult for women to climb out of poverty?‎ A. Sexist prejudice B. Heavy burden of housework C. Impossible dreams D. Bad health ‎29. The phrase “the gap” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to the difference in .‎ A. the time women and men spend on their housework.‎ B. the space women and men need for their private life.‎ C. the income women and men earn each year.‎ D. the dream women and men have about their children.‎ ‎30. What seems to be the author’s attitude toward reducing female poverty?‎ A. Casual B. Doubtful C. Optimistic D. Unconcerned ‎31. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Why poverty is sexist. B. What global poverty is.‎ C. How to reduce female poverty. D. How to break down sexist prejudice.‎ D Businesses are witnessing a difficult time, which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns. ‎ Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy. ‎ This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy ‎ from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough. ‎ Harry Morrison, chief executive (主管) of the Carbon Trust, sympathizes: I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking -- we don’t have much time. In addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.‎ Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放). Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.‎ The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (标识) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” Mr. Morrison said.‎ ‎32. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.‎ B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.‎ C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.‎ D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers environmental awareness.‎ ‎33. The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph2 probably means “ ”.‎ A. affect B. change C. disturb D. reject ‎34. According to Harry Morrison, businesses .‎ A. will benefit from cutting carbon emissions.‎ B. should buy carbon allowances for shoppers.‎ C. are required to make up for their carbon emissions.‎ D. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere.[]‎ ‎35. We can learn from the passage that businesses will . ‎ A. have a strong desire to reduce costs. B. use the same logo in their marketing. ‎ C. gain advantages by taking early action. D. attract more shoppers by storing good.‎ 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。‎ Tips on How to Survive the Exam Season When it comes to the exam season, a lot of you may feel stressed, depressed or even want to escape. Here we have pieces of advice to help you get it through.‎ ‎ 36 .‎ During the semester, going to lectures and taking a lot of notes are the first steps in the learning process. Now, at the end of the week, gather all the notes you took during the week and run through your notes quickly. 37 If yes, great. If not, you have a lot of time left to understand before the exams take place. You can ask a friend, a teacher, you can look it up on the Internet or go to a library. This takes a little effort, but the results are great.‎ Switch between different types of revision.‎ ‎. 38 Something that really helps is to plan different types of active studying while revising. You can, for example, study using flashcards for an hour, then work on the summary for an hour, then have lunch, etc.‎ Make the facts more relatable.‎ There are many different ways to do so. I’m going to give you two examples and the first one is to create vivid images, which can be really helpful for studying history. 39 The second is to make yourself familiar with new words by looking for words that look alike in other languages.‎ Teach and learn outside of the classroom.‎ In my experience, teaching is the most efficient way of studying. By explaining the materials to yourself or to someone else, you’ll remember them a lot better. 40 The idea is to sit down and take turns explaining certain topics of the study material.‎ Test yourself with past papers.‎ At the end of the whole study process, you should prepare yourself to do past papers properly. Time yourself, don’t cheat, and mark it as if it were your real exam. Pay attention to the mistakes and revise the part you didn’t do well on until you can’t get it wrong any more.‎ A. Prepare yourself in advance.‎ B. Make sure to be tough on yourself.‎ C. Even if you are motivated to study, everyone gets bored after a couple of hours of studying.‎ D. While doing this, constantly ask yourself, “Do I understand what I am reading?”‎ F. Try to imagine how the event took place and this allows you to remember certain details more accurately.‎ G. Look for a study buddy or small study group, and discussed everything you have studied before the exam.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（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）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I was a 19-year-old Dubai-raised kid away from home for the first time to start my undergraduate studies in Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak in Malaysia.

I really enjoyed myself. However, during my short stay at your home, I couldn’t help noticing that every time my six-year-old nephew made a mistake, you would scold him. So I’m writing to express some of my opinions.‎ What you did reminded me of the Pygmalion Effect I learned in my class. It means anybody, young or old, adult or child, can perform better when they are given more love and care, when they are expected to ‎ do so. As far as I’m concerned, you’d better give your son more encouragement instead of scolding him and give him more praise instead of criticism, which may contribute him to doing better. I hold the belief that if you believe he can achieve greatness, then he will indeed achieve greatness. ‎ ‎ Hoping my suggestions will be of use to you. ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
