The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in amazement, not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers( 内裤；衬裤), not trousers as it does back home.‎ Katie — From America ‎ I went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer. Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up. Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn’t find it. Fed up and tired, I finally had to go out to find a phone box. She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.‎ David — From Britain ‎ When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to (使...明白)someone that I only wanted the toilet!‎ Tom — From America ‎ Last summer we went on a two-week family touring holiday, so Dad hired a car over the Internet. This was an old vehicle and there turned out (结果是；证明是)to be lots of things wrong with it. When he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken, they thought he was ‎ talking about footwear! He had no idea their word for “boot” was “trunk”. In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem.‎ Mary — From Britain ‎21.David went out to find a phone box to ________.‎ A．phone the police for help B．phone his friend for help C．tell his friends he couldn’t go to visit her D．apologize for his being late ‎22.When Tom asked for the “restroom”, the people around him thought ______.‎ A．he wanted to have a rest. B．he wanted the toilet C．he wanted a chair D．He wanted to go to a department store ‎23.Which of the following words is from British English？‎ A．Pants. B．Ground floor. C．Restroom. D．Trunk.‎ B When people were building houses, they used to consider not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.‎ Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.‎ People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving. ‎ House-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.‎ ‎24. What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?‎ A. The climate of their areas. B. The fashions for their houses. ‎ C. The energy for their houses. D. The building materials for their houses.‎ ‎25. People in some areas gain a source of heat by ________.‎ A. living on the second floor with their livestock B. protecting their livestock from the cold C. sharing their houses only with their cows ‎ D. keeping their livestock downstairs ‎26. The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ____.‎ ‎ A. heat goes in the upward direction ‎ B. heat raises the temperature in the houses ‎ C. heat goes down if temperature is raised ‎ ‎ D. heat increases the temperature of rocks ‎27. What does the author intend to tell us?‎ A. people will no longer consider building materials in the future ‎ B. energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the future ‎ C. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks D. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology C ‎ Many cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics. Now some state and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste as well. California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes. The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called composting(堆制肥料).‎ Food waste that can be composted includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be composted. Meat, fish, and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.‎ According to environmental groups, composting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills(垃圾填埋池), and composted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When compost is added to the soil in gardens and fields, it helps crops grow.‎ Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food-waste recycling laws. “Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones is shrinking.” Renee Crowley, a project manager said.‎ Officials in Seattle, Washington, say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going into landfills, and they are looking to reduce that percentage. That city has a law requiring people to recycle food waste. It is banned from all garbage. There is a fine for people who put it into regular garbage.‎ Crowley points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law, there are often places where citizens can drop off their food waste for composting. Many schools and colleges have also started composting programs.‎ Those who are against food-recycling laws say that the composting process is costly. In addition, it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they don’t have access to outside storage bins. Patti Ferguson from Orange County, California, told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.‎ ‎28. What do we know about composting from the text?‎ A. It is cheap to compost food waste B. Not all food waste can be reused C. Not all soil can be composted D. It is usually processed in empty landfills ‎29. What is the third paragraph mainly about?‎ A. Ways of keeping nutrients in the soil B. Ways of reducing the amount of trash C. Benefits of recycling food waste D. Examples of different useful nutrients ‎30. In Seattle, throwing food waste into garbage is .‎ A. illegal B. Shameful C. required D. acceptable ‎31. Patti Ferguson’s attitude towards food-recycling laws is probably .‎ A. thankful B. Supportive C. uncaring D. Negative D ‎ If your job requires a lot of sitting, you could be putting your health at danger.‎ The American Journal of Epidemiology (流行病学) did a study in 2010 on the correlation (相互联系) between sitting and an individual's physical health. In the study, 53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting. The subjects were all disease free when employed. The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.‎ The findings: Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hours a day, and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.‎ Well, now's a fine time to get this information. But why didn't they tell me this years ago? I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary (坐着的) job of an editor.‎ So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting? Here are some ideas:‎ Take frequent breaks. It is recommended that workers vary activities, change their position, and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation. Get a standing desk. Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health. The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill (跑步机) desk. It only goes about one mile per hour. Have a walking meeting. If your group is kind of small, going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.‎ ‎32. According to the text, the study in 2010 ________.‎ A. found men reporting shorter sitting time than women B. surveyed more men than women on their daily sitting time C. identified fewer deaths in men than in women during the 14-year follow-up D. discovered correlation between sitting and physical health in men and in women ‎33. We can infer from the text that the author did not recommend ________.‎ A. using a standing desk B. resting one's muscles C. quitting sedentary jobs D. taking a walk while discussing ‎34. What does the underlined word "subjects" in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Things being discussed. B. People being studied.‎ C. Areas of knowledge being learned. D. Objects being painted.‎ ‎35. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Your job could be killing you.‎ B. Working out leads to health risks.‎ C. Long-time sitting is positively associated with health.‎ D. A study on sitting time and physical health was completed.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Do you still remember the haze (雾霾) in the winter? So many people got terribly ill during or after the haze. 36．Here is advice for you to protect yourself in hazy weather.‎ Spend less time outdoors. This is the most effective way for self-protection in such bad weather. With PM 2.5 increasing 103mg per cubic meter, residents will risk a 2.29% increase of death, which experts found out in 2013. If you have to get out, avoid riding bicycles. 37．‎ Close your windows. Experts advise residents to avoid opening windows at home if you have to, avoid the time when smog is at its densest (浓的) 38． Besides, you can keep plants with broad leaves at home to absorb dust, and use air purifiers.‎ Smoke less. 39． In hazy weather, smoking would be even more harmful. Smokers are advise to keep their distance from cigarettes before the weather gets better.‎ ‎40． For example, wear special masks outside to avoid breathing in PM2.5. Then take off your coat after getting indoors and keep it away from your other clean clothes. Don’t forget to wash your face, rinse your mouth, and clean your nasal cavity (鼻腔) to clean the particulate matters(颗粒物) that fall on you. Last but not least, keep off stimulating foods.‎ A. Pay attention to other daily things.‎ B. Wear masks.‎ C. That’s because haze does harm to the health of people.‎ D. Also avoid rush hours, when pollutants will be denser.‎ E. For residents who use air-conditioner, make sure your apartment has enough oxygen indoors.‎ F. Take more fruits and vegetables instead, which are good for lung, spleen and kidney.‎ G. Cigarettes could cause more particulate matters, which are included in PM 2.5.‎ 第三部分英语知识应用 （满分55分）‎ 第一节 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（共20小题；每题2分，满分40分）‎ ‎ Though one can change his or her physical appearance with the help of cosmetics (化妆品), honesty is a quality that is not as easily obtained (获得).   41  , when choosing my friends, I look for people who   42   honesty as much as I do.‎ ‎ Honesty is much more   43   than physical appearance, because, for me, a friend’s primary function is to be my secret keeper and problem   44   . When I have a problem, I like to ask for   45   from my friends. However, I want to be sure that I can discuss private things with my friends and that they won’t   46   anyone else.

However, an honest person with a good personality will   56   your feelings enough to tell you the truth, even when telling the truth may be difficult.   57   a good personality, good looks do not last.‎ Overall, I believe one’s social life will always be much more   58   if one has an honest friend rather than a physically   59   one.

Nostalgia- which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherland--became his most well-known work, since it resonated (引起共鸣) with many who were far away from home. The poem appeared in Chinese school textbooks and 65 (adapt) into songs.‎ ‎ 66 , the fact that Nostalgia became so famous also disturbed Yu because among the over 1000 poems that he 67 (write), Nostalgia seemed to be the only one that the public ever talked about and appreciated.‎ ‎“I’d like to think of Nostalgia 68 my business card, but unfortunately it got so big that it kept people from seeing the real me,” Yu once said, according to China Youth Daily.‎ Indeed, writing poems is only one of Yu’s many talents. Great Chinese Liang Shiqiu once said of Yu, “He writes poems with his right hand and proses (散文) with his left hand. There is hardly anyone who matches his achievements at the time.” Yu was also a 69 (translate). According to CGTN, Yu spoke French, German, Spanish, Italian and Russian, and published 13 translation collections.‎ To him, writing was 70 inseparable part of life that shouldn’t be affected by age or anything else. Now that Yu has taken his last breath, his writing career has finally been put to rest.

It took me years to get through to (使...明白)someone that I only wanted the toilet!（当我在一家大百货公司要去restroom时，人们不停地把我领到一个有座位的房间，我可以坐在那里“休息”。我花了好长时间才让人明白我只是想上厕所。）可知，当Tom要求去restroom时，他周围的人认为他想休息一下。故A选项正确。‎ ‎23．细节理解题。ACD三个选项在英式和美式英语中都有，只是意思不同，而B只在英式英语中出现。故B选项正确。‎ 完型【解析】本文是一篇议论文。作者认为交友时应更多地注重他人的品格而非外表。‎ ‎41.“作者认为诚实是一种不易获取的品质”与“他愿意结交诚实的朋友”‎ 之间是因果关系，故选Therefore。‎ ‎42.由下文作者说明结交诚实的朋友的好处可知，他把诚实“看得很重(value) ”。‎ ‎43.由下文作者列举朋友的重要作用可知，他认为诚实比外表更“重要（important)”‎ ‎44.由 When I have a problem，I like to ask for⋅⋅⋅from my friends.可知，作者认为朋友应该是保守秘密的人和“解决问题的人（problem solver）”，所以当有问题时，可以向朋友征求意见。‎ ‎45.由 When I have a problem，I like to ask for⋅⋅⋅from my friends.可知，作者认为朋友应该是保守秘密的人解决问题的人，所以当有问题时，可以向朋友征求“意见 （advice）”。‎ ‎46.由上文的 my secret keeper 和 I can discuss private things with my friends可知，作者希望与朋友谈论私事时，他们不会“告诉(tell)”其他人。‎ ‎47.由I don't want them to lie to me可知，作者希望朋友可以给予他“诚实的（honest）”意见，而不是说谎或者掩盖事实的真相。‎ ‎48. 由I don't want them to lie to me可知，作者希望朋友可以给予他诚实的意见，而不是说谎或者“掩盖（hide）”事实的真相。‎ ‎49.由下文的make me upset可知，作者认为如果朋友欺骗了自己，这会“伤害（hurt）”他。‎ ‎50.由本段作者解释如果没有交到好的朋友会让别人不信赖自己可知，作者认为诚实的人可以被他人“信赖（trust）”。‎ ‎51.由下文的help you to better yourself可知，作者认为朋友之间应该起到“积极、正面的（positive）”影响。‎ ‎52.由上文的 someone who repeatedly lies 和下文的 I would become someone that others cannot trust可知，作者认为如果身边总有人说谎，他有可能也会染上这种坏“习惯（habit）”。‎ ‎53.外表不能经常反映一个人的内心是作者认为品质比外表重要的另一个“原因（reason）”。‎ ‎54.朋友的“长相（looks）”不能帮助解决问题或者让你难过的心情变得更好。‎ ‎55. 朋友的长相不能帮助解决问题或者让你难过的心情变得“更好（better）”。‎ ‎56.相比于外表不能帮人排忧解难，拥有好品质且诚实的人则会在“尊重（respect）”你情绪的同时告诉你真相。‎ ‎57.外表“不像（unlike）”品质能够长久保持。‎ ‎58. 综上所述，作者认为拥有一个诚实的朋友比拥有一个外表出众的朋友更能让社交生活变得“愉快（pleasant）”。‎ ‎59.综上所述，作者认为拥有一个诚实的朋友比拥有一个外表“出众的（attractive）”朋友更能让社交生活变得愉快。‎ ‎60.当涉及如何维系长久友谊时，“诚实才是上策”这条谚语尤其“正确（true）”。‎
