What is most important for the beginners?‎ A. Practising as much as possible.‎ B. Gaining confidence and having fun.‎ C. Studying and writing at their own pace.‎ D. Learning skills from writers and teachers.‎ ‎【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了不同年龄阶段孩子为提高写作水平设置的写作培训班，说明了招收学员的年龄、申请的条件、开课时间、报名截止日期及费用等信息。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据The FREE部分 squad sessions will include introductions to a wide range of writing styles, from poetry to play writing and lyric (抒情诗) to flash fiction, to support the development of young - 24 -‎ ‎ writers.（班会将包括介绍广泛的写作风格，从诗歌到戏剧写作，从抒情诗到微型小说，以支持年轻作家的发展。）由此可知，Towner Writer Squad促进年轻作家的发展。故选D。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据Application & Selection部分If you would like to apply to be part of the Towner Writer Squad, please send a sample piece of your writing (如果你想申请成为Towner Writer Squad的一员，请寄一份你的写作样稿。) 由此可知，要加入Writer Squad，每个申请人必须先提供一篇他们的作品。故选A。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据Start time: 6 September, 2016部分Most importantly, build confidence and have fun while writing!（最重要的是，在写作的过程中建立自信和获得乐趣!）由此可知，对初学者来说获得信心和乐趣是最重要的。故选B。‎ B Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.‎ My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.‎ I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something,‎ - 24 -‎ ‎ but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.‎ ‎4. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?‎ A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.‎ B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.‎ C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.‎ D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.‎ ‎5. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.‎ A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached ‎6. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.‎ A. abandoned B. lacked C. avoided D. taken ‎7 What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. To Keep Emotional Well-being B. To Prevent “If Only” Moments C. To Follow the Most Useful Rule D. To Achieve the Peace of Mind ‎【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了作者认为英语中最悲伤的两个词语是"if only"，因为他们表达了遗憾。父亲在作者小的时候经常让她提前做一些能防止意外发生的事，因此她懂得珍惜现在所拥有的一切，而且知道自己正在做对的事。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一、二段的内容可知，作者所说的“extra - 24 -‎ ‎ minute”rule是指在遇事时多思考一分钟，从而可以避免以后遗憾、犯错或失望，故D选项“在绊倒别人之前，把障碍物挪走”符合 “extra minute” rule，故选D。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him.可知，父亲说在周五去看眼科医生时经过作者的办公室，虽然那天是假日，但作者想到父亲八十四了，自己不应该放弃每一次见父亲的机会，于是又改口说那天上班。由此可知作者决定在星期五去她的办公室，是为了见她已经年迈的父亲。故选B。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句and前后连接语意相似成分，由其前“失去一个心爱的人或物”可推知此处是指“后悔放弃一个机会”可知，foregone的意思是“放弃”，故选A。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读文章可知，本文主要叙述了作者通过“extra minute”rule来避免以后说“if only”的情况。“if only”作为线索贯穿了整篇文章，且第一段也提到了the saddest words，其他选项比较笼统，不能涵盖本文内容。所以这篇文章最好的题目是“防止出现if only的情况”，故选B。‎ C There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at www.ted.com, you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.‎ TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences - 24 -‎ ‎ address narrower issues.‎ The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.‎ The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.‎ TED, of course, isn’t immune to criticism. It’s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It’s been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference’s host afterward.‎ The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED’s website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.‎ ‎8. What is the main topic of the article?‎ A. The case against TED. B. What’s on TED today.‎ C. Pros and cons of www.ted.com. D. What is TED.‎ ‎9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?‎ A. The TED conference came after the success of www.ted.com.‎ B. Two TED conferences are now held every year.‎ C. TED talks are available in many languages.‎ D. The Sapling Foundation owns www.ted.com.‎ ‎10. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.‎ A. it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be published B. the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakers C. TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerful - 24 -‎ D. the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation ‎11. This author probably believes that________.‎ A. TED is elitist B. TED is beneficial C. TED isn’t important D. TED is the best website ‎【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了TED以及它的历史发展。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段And at www.ted.com, you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.（在www.ted.com，你可以访问艺术家、学者、设计师、技术人员和其他人的演讲。）以及以下几个段落的内容，可知这篇文章的主题是“TED是什么”，故选D。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it.（TED网站源于一种与世界分享会议的愿望，用网站的话说，就是“向世界上最有灵感的思想家们提供免费的知识”。）由此可知，“TED大会是在www.ted.com网站成功之后召开的”这种表述错误，故选A。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段TED, of course, isn’t immune to criticism. It’s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices.（当然，TED也免不了受到批评。它因其高昂的票价被称为精英主义）和倒数第一段的And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED’s website.(而当这么多东西在泰德的网站上免费赠送时，精英主义的指责就显得空洞了。)由此推断出，TED因给予富人或有权势的人特殊待遇而受到批评，故选C。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.（不管它的缺点是什么，TED都是那些寻找它的人鼓舞人心的信息来源。）由此推断出，这位作者可能认为TED是有益的，故选B。‎ D - 24 -‎ When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.‎ One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.‎ I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting (稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.‎ In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.‎ ‎12. Which of the following can best sum up the main idea?‎ A. It’s time to shorten the learning process.‎ B. Best learning takes place over time.‎ C. University education should be watered down.‎ - 24 -‎ D. College education calls for reform.‎ ‎13. We can learn from the passage that ________.‎ A. most American universities are against the “three-year degree” model B. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-year degree” model C. professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” model D. The “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient ‎14. In most US universities，________.‎ A. college students are offered the co-op program B. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required credits C. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation D. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time ‎15. We can infer that________.‎ A. the author is a college professor exploring ways to make learning more efficient B. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to afford C. the author considers the university education quality very important D. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students ‎【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。文章作者认为把大学四年学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意，保证足够的时间才能保证大学教育的质量。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第二段的Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.(很少有美国大学正式批准“三年学位”模式。)和最后一段的In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education.(在我看来，优质的四年教育总是优于优质的三年教育。) 可推断，文章作者认为把大学四年的学制缩短为三年不是一个好主意，学好大学功课是需要付出时间的，所以这篇文章的中心思想是“最好的学习是随着时间的推移而进行的。”，故选B。‎ - 24 -‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.（美国很少有大学正式批准“三年制学位”模式。）由此推断出，大多数美国大学反对“三年制学位”模式，故选A。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits.（一方面，大多数大学已经允许合格的学生通过某些课程的考试和获得一些大学学分提前毕业。）由此可知，特别优秀的大学生可以提前毕业。故选D。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。第四段作者给出了自己的观点，从A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major.（大学教育要求学生有足够的时间掌握专业技能，并在专业以外的领域学习课程。）和It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine.（削弱教育不是个好主意，就像削弱医学不是个好主意一样。）等处可以看出作者非常看重大学教育质量。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改写，意思不变。如换一个同义词，把否定改为肯定，把肯定改为否定等。如第3小题，根据第三段中For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits.（一方面，大多数大学已经允许合格的学生通过某些课程的考试和获得一些大学学分提前毕业。）由此可知，特别优秀的大学生可以提前毕业。故选D。‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ - 24 -‎ Five Ways to Work Smarter, Not Harder No matter how hard we work, it seems that there is never enough time to get all the important tasks done. Rather than working longer, consider working smarter, not harder. Here are some ways to work smarter:‎ Make a careful plan. Just like every organization needs a business plan, an efficient worker needs a work plan. ___16___ Schedule your tasks throughout the days, weeks, and months, but do it ahead of time.‎ Set your goals. As a part of your work plan, you should set clear and measurable goals. Goals should state which tasks are to be completed and when they get completed. Rather than setting firm deadlines, which can lead to pressure and stress, allow a period of time to reach goals.___17___.‎ ‎___18___Develop a consistent daily work schedule and stick to it! If a typical workday consists of some writing tasks（emails, reports）, one-on-one meetings, and processing data, set aside specific time each day to accomplish each kind of tasks.‎ Delegate（分派工作）effectively.____19____The person who tries to do everything himself or herself not only is overloaded and overstressed, but is bad for their colleagues, by not allowing them to be challenged and grow by taking on important duties.‎ Don’t make work harder than it actually is. Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves.   ___20___ We feel like we should do more. Remember that tasks should be completed step by step. Focus on each step rather than on the entire project, which can help us cut down on feelings that we are overwhelmed.‎ A. Stick to your plan.‎ B. We set unrealistic goals or standards for ourselves.‎ C. Also, take time to reward yourself for achieving a goal.‎ D. Organize your workday.‎ E. We cannot expect to complete the tasks quickly.‎ F. Learn which tasks can be delegated and which need personal attention.‎ G. It is a well-thought-out plan to help guide and direct work activities.‎ ‎【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. F 20. B - 24 -‎ ‎【解析】‎ 本文介绍了五个可以让你更加聪明地工作的方法：制定一个周密的工作计划；设定目标；安排你的工作日；有效分配工作；不要加大任务难度。。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 本段主要是强调计划的重要性，根据上文"Just like every organization needs a business plan，an efficient worker needs a work plan"可知，就像每个组织都需要一个商业计划一样，一个有效率的员工需要一个工作计划，前句提到工作需要计划，那么下句就是关于什么样的计划有用，故选G。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 本段主要是关于设定目标，空前说不要设定一个最后期限，这样会导致压力，要允许用一段时间来完成目标。根据上文可知C项 （实现一个目标就花些时间奖励自己）能够延续上文，而且句中的关键词achieving a goal和上文中的reach goals能对应起来。故选C。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 由下文daily work schedule和关键词workday可知，本段介绍如何安排日常工作。D项（组织你的工作日）能够概括本段，符合语境。故选D。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 小标题中的delegate与F项中的delegated相呼应。根据小标题可知，本段介绍把任务分派给他人。分派给他人任务的前提就是学会区分哪些任务是能分派给他人的，哪些是需要亲自关注的。选项F符合语境。故选F。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据前一句Much of the pressure is produced by ourselves.（大部分压力是我们自己产生的。）以及空后一句We feel like we should do more.(我们觉得我们应该做更多。)可知B项（我们为自己设定了不合实际的目标或标准）符合语境。故选B。‎ 二．英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45）‎ 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。‎ Communication with a Stranger Last weekend I sat on the bus talking with excitement and so ready to spend time ‎ - 24 -‎ in New York City with one of my best friends from college.

In fact, it directly ___25___ my personal life.‎ We talked a lot about my dreams, my fears and my life. I ___26___ more with this stranger on the bus than I have with any friend or family member in months. Maybe it had something to do with me just being ___27___ to let anyone I know close to me. I was ___28___ that the stranger was not only so deeply interested in getting to know me, but also just as willing to ___29___ me to my greatest abilities. He listened carefully to every word I said and made some useful ___30___ at times. Instead of politely ___31___ his head when I mentioned my major, he told me that my strong liking seemed to be psychology, but not the one I was studying. He said that he knew I would face difficulties if I studied psychology and that he fully understood my ___32___ for the failure.‎ This elderly man made me ___33___ the plans that I had laid out for my life with just that simple statement. He helped me realize that my neatly ___34___ plan for the next five years of my life wasn't all that neat, but actually complex and filled with ___35___. Most of all, he helped me ___36___ the complex, not stay away from it because of my fear for the unknown. I ___37___ a lot from talking with the elderly stranger.‎ A few days later, he emailed me, saying, "I think you're ___38___ for great things no matter what you decide to do."

Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice to say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw the elderly blind woman with her hand opening. In a natural reflex (反应), I reached into my pocket, pull out all of my loose change and placed them in her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by the beggar. And the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help to find the post office.” In an instant, I realized that I had done. That blind woman reminded me my blindness. So in this essay, I wanted to be grateful to the invaluable lesson she gave me.‎ - 24 -‎ ‎【答案】第一处： before→ago 第二处： 去掉to 第三处： the→an 第四处： opening→open 第五处： pull→pulled 第六处： them→it 第七处： And→But 第八处： that→what 第九处： me之后加of 第十处： to→for ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了一个盲人给作者上了生动的一课，让作者意识到自己的问题所在，要公平地对待每一个人。‎ ‎【详解】第一处：考查副词。ago表示“从现在起的若干时间以前”,意思是“距今……以前”,需和过去时或过去进行时连用。before泛指“从过去起的若干时间以前”，意思是 “距过去某时……以前”“与其……（毋宁）”，常和完成时连用表示“几年以前”，应该说a few years ago，所以before改成ago。‎ 第二处：考查非谓语动词。句意：我听到一个声音说:“你能帮我吗?”hear sb. do sth. 听见某人做某事，该用法是固定用法，感官动词后接不带to不定式作宾语补足语。所以去掉to。‎ 第三处：考查冠词。句意：当我转过身时，我看到一位年长的盲人妇女正把手张开着。泛指“一位年长的盲人妇女”，elderly的首字母发音是元音，所以the改成an。‎ 第四处：考查with复合结构。句意：当我转过身时，我看到一位年长的盲人妇女正把手张开着。with + n. + adj.是with复合结构，其中形容词作宾补，所以opening改成open。‎ 第五处：考查时态。句意：我下意识地把手伸进口袋，掏出所有的零钱放在她手里，连看都没看她一眼。描述发生在过去的一系列事情，用一般过去时，所以pull改成pulled。‎ 第六处：考查代词。句意：我下意识地把手伸进口袋，掏出所有的零钱放在她手里，连看都没看她一眼。change“零钱”不可数，用单数代词，所以them改成it。‎ - 24 -‎ 第七处：考查连词。句意：但是，那个盲人妇女笑着说:“我不要你的钱。我只是需要帮助去找邮局。”文中表示转折关系，所以And改成But。‎ 第八处：考查宾语从句。句意：一瞬间，我意识到我做了什么。这里含有一个宾语从句，引导词在从句中作宾语，所以that改成what。‎ 第九处：考查固定用法。句意：那个盲人妇女使我想起了我的失明。remind sb. of sth. 使某人想起某事，该用法是固定用法，所以me之后加of。‎ 第十处：考查介词。句意：所以在这篇文章中，我对她给了我宝贵的一课心存感激。be grateful for对……心存感激，该用法是固定用法，所以to改成for。‎ 第二节书面表达(满分25分)‎ ‎52.假定你是李华，你所喜爱的Global Mirror周报创刊五周年之际征集读者意见．请你依据以下内容给主编写封信，内容主要包括：‎ ‎1．说明你是该报的忠实读者 ‎2．赞赏该报优点：1)兼顾国内外新闻 2)介绍名人成功故事 ‎3．提出建议：刊登指导英语学习的文章 注意：1．词数100左右，开头语己为你写好；‎ ‎2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Dear Editor-in-Chief,‎ Congratulations on the 5th anniversary of Global Mirror!‎ I’m a regular reader of your newspaper.
