S.‎ with links to past, present and future ‎ presidents, as well as their close families.‎ John F. Kennedys Weekend Retreat A modest farm near Middleburg‎, ‎Virginia, was built by John F Kennedy and his wife in the early 1960s. The former first lady designed it herself. The four-bedroom property is currently back on the market for $5.95 million, decreased by $2 million compared with 2015. It was $10.99 million when it first was put up for sale in 2013.‎ Jackie Kennedys Summer House Another Kennedy-linked property for sale is the "Lasata" estate in the Hamptons, designed by architect Arthur C. Jackson and built in 1917. Set on more than seven acres of land near the ocean, it includes a 10-bedroom house that was restored in 2007, including a three-car garage building. It's on the market for $38.9 million, a little bit higher than last year.‎ Chester‎ A. Arthur's Summer White House Chester A. Arthur, who became the 21st president in 1881, spent some of his down time here. The three-story, six-bedroom Victorian mansion, which was built in 1796 and has been recently restored, is for sale with a $14. 2 million price tag, down from $20 million in 2015. Features include a library with fireplace, a formal dining and living room and a family room overlooking the garden and the swimming pool.‎ President Obama's Summer Rental This Martha's Vineyard home served as the summer White House to President Obama. It is currently for sale for $19. 1 million, down from $22.5 million in July 2015. Set on nine acres of land and with its own private road, this property no doubt acted as a perfect summer hideaway for those who didn’t want their every movement seen. In addition to privacy, other features include a heated pool, half-basketball court, outdoor terraces and a two-bedroom guest cottage ‎21. Which house has the longest history?‎ A. President Obama’s Summer Rental B. Jackie Kennedy’s Summer House C. Chester A. Arthur’s Summer White House D. John F. Kennedy’s Weekend Retreat ‎22. What is the feature of President Obama’s Summer Rental?‎ A. Privacy B. Architecture C. Location D. Price.‎ ‎23. What do the four houses have in common?‎ A. Their prices are going down these years.‎ B. They have connections with US presidents.‎ C. They have a history of more than a century.‎ D. They have more than 5 bedrooms in the house.‎ B People are familiar with the phrase --- which almost completes itself --- midlife crisis. It’s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.‎ Sounds like a cliché（套话）, but there’s only one problem with it --- it isn’t true.‎ ‎“Virtually, there is almost no solid evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,” Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying.”‎ Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death.” They choose purpose over happiness—having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often withdraw.‎ Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.‎ Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowing is behind; now is the time to harvest. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”‎ The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured hurry” to get big new things done while there is still time.‎ Although it was decades ago, what Barth wrote makes even more sense in modern days. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first ‎ term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan is changing the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a decent is now a potential turning point, the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.‎ ‎24. From the author’s perspective, the phrase “midlife crisis” actually __________‎ A. has given rise to a lot of debate. B. misrepresents real life.‎ C. is no longer fashionable. D. is widely acknowledged.‎ ‎25. How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?‎ A. It can be a new phase of one’s life. B. It may be the beginning of a crisis.‎ C. It can be terrifying for the unprepared. D. It may see old-age disease approaching.‎ ‎26. In the book Life Reimagined, midlife is pictured as something that __________‎ A. can be quite promising. B. can be burdensome.‎ C. undergoes dramatic transformation. D. makes for the best part of one’s life.‎ ‎27. What does the author suggest as to contemporary midlife?‎ A. It is more meaningful than other stages of life. ‎ B. It is likely to change the narrative of one’s life.‎ C. It is likely to be a critical turning point in one’s life.‎ D. It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.‎ C Digital Etiquette, or netiquette, is a set of rules for how to behave online. It’s a lot like life etiquette, which is basically having good manners and treating others with respect. It’s just as important in our digital lives, including how we act in online games or how we communicate in emails, texts, instant messages and on social networking websites. All of these platforms let us talk and share instantly wherever we are.‎ Unfortunately, some people can lose control the second they jump online.When they disagree with someone, or have strong feeling about a topic, they end up saying stuff they’d never say in person! They may send ruder emails and IMs or try to start arguments on message boards. That’s called flaming, and it can lead to full-on flame wars, insulting arguments between two or more users. On the Internet, it’s pretty easy to stay anonymous, or unidentified. Having a secret identity to hide behind can make people pretty brave. And when ‎ all they see of you is screen name or a funny icon, they might forget that they’re dealing with a real human being!‎ The principle is simple: Just like in real life, you should treat other people the way you want to be treated. You wouldn’t want somebody to be rude to you, so don’t be rude to anyone else.‎ Of course, netiquette isn’t just about being nice; it’s also about communicating clearly. That means keeping emails and IMs clear, and to the point. It also means making your messages easy to read and understand, which can depend on your audience. For instance, some abbreviations and emoticons may be fine with friends. But they’re generally not appropriate in formal communication. And whatever you do, don’t write in all capital letters! Writing in all caps makes it seem like you’re yelling.‎ Lastly, make sure you ask permission before posting anything about your friends on a blog or a social networking site. People’s personal information is private, and you can really ruin relationships if you post something that a friend — or a friend’s parents — don’t want on the web. And keep in mind that the Internet is not a private place; if you wouldn’t want a parent, teacher or future employer to see something you post, don’t post it!‎ ‎28. According to the passage, the users of social media are advised .‎ A. to trigger arguments on message boards B. to behave online with common courtesy C. to be respectful of others online rather than offline D. to apply abbreviations and emoticons as many as possible ‎29. Why might an anonymous Internet user feel bold enough to say horrible things in response to a blog post?‎ A. Because he can make more friends if he says mean things.‎ B .Because he knows his friends will recognize him and think better of him.‎ C. Because he can insult others and not worry about revenge.‎ D. Because he can impress older, smarter people with his remarks.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is the best way to text your uncle to say you’ll be back in an hour?‎ A. be there in 60, cul8r B. BE THER IN AN HOUR. SEE YOU LATER!‎ C. I will be home in an hour. See you later.‎ D. I’m running late be there in an hour.‎ ‎31. Which of the following is a clear rule about posting photos online?‎ A. If you take a photograph, it is yours to do as you please online.‎ B. Information about your friends, including photographs, is private.‎ C. It’s illegal to post pictures online without permission from people in the pictures.‎ D. You should always avoid posting images on the internet.‎ D Given how valuable intelligence and automation are, we will continue to improve our technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin to improve themselves. And then we risk what the mathematician IJ Good called an “intelligence explosion”. The process could get out of control.‎ The concern is really that we will build machines that are much more competent than we are. And the slightest divergence between their goals and our own could destroy us. Just think about how we relate to ants. We don’t hate them. We don’t go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, we will kill them without hesitation. The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether they’re conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.‎ The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines.We have problems that we desperately need to solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of the station, and there’s no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely develop in ways that we can’t imagine, and exceed us in ways that we can’t imagine.‎ So imagine we hit upon a design of superintelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This machine would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build the machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw ‎ materials. So we’re talking about the end of human labor. We’re also talking about the end of most intellectual work. So what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?‎ What would some nations do if they heard that some company in Silicon Valley was about to deploy (配置) a superintelligent AI? This machine would be capable of starting war, whether terrestrial (陆地的) or cyber, with unbelievable power. Given that the companies and governments building superintelligent AI are likely to perceive (感知) themselves as being in a race against all others, and that to win this race is to win the world, it seems likely that whatever is easier to do will get done first unless it is destroyed in the next moment.‎ But the moment we admit that information processing is the source of intelligence, we have to admit that we are in the process of building some sort of god. Now would be a good time to make sure it’s a god we can live with.‎ ‎32. When an intelligent machine becomes smarter than humanity, .‎ A. it will make itself better and may go beyond human control B. it will help people to the fullest, especially in physical work C. it will threaten people by robbing them of jobs D. it will view itself as human race ‎33. The underlined word “divergence” in Paragraph 2 almost means the same as “ ”.‎ A. connection ‎ B. hatred ‎ C. competition ‎ D. disagreement ‎34. How is the passage mainly developed?‎ A. By making comparisons.‎ B. By showing valid evidence.‎ C. By giving assumptions.‎ D. By analyzing statistics.‎ ‎35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?‎ A. For the God’s sake, stop AI and be yourselves!‎ B. Can we build AI without losing control over it?‎ C. For or against AI, that is the question!‎ D. How does superintelligence serve the people?‎ 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。‎ What to Do When Someone Doesn’t Like You When someone tells me, “I don’t care if people like me,” they are showing me the emotional wall they use to block the hurt of rejection.‎ As humans are social animals, all of us care if people like us. Based on the need for social connection, your reactions to rejection and negative judgment can range from minor hurt to breakouts of depression. 36 ‎ The first step to handle a negative situation is to recognize your reaction. Ask yourself, “What am I feeling?” 37 Any betrayal or embarrassments in your heart? Identify what feeling has shown up in your body so you can choose what to do next.‎ ‎ 38 When you sense yourself shutting down or feeling defensive, ask yourself what the person actually meant to do to you. Did they truly mean to offend you, or make fun of you? Your brain works very hard to keep you safe, so it will judge a situation as threatening if there is any possibility of social harm.‎ When our brains sense a possible threat, we react as if we were personally attacked. Take a breath to relieve the stress. 39 ‎ Finally, if you believe the person doesn’t like you, ask yourself if this matters. 40 If not, what can you do to release your need to be liked by this person? And, what can you do to stay neutral and not return the dislike? The more you can come to accept others as who they are, the more you can move forward with your goals regardless if someone likes you or not.‎ A．If you can, look the person in their eyes. ‎ B．Do you feel any fear or anger in your head?‎ C．Ask yourself what is true about the situation.‎ D．Often people do not realize the impact of their words.‎ E．Will the person’s judgment of you impact your work or life?‎ F．The ability to let a show of dislike roll off your back is a learned skill.‎ G．This will ground you in the present and take you out of your trembling mind.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，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A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。‎ Hello, Mr. Wi-Fi.
