Her father was a successful lawyer, her mother — now a teacher — was formerly an actress, and her older sister, Felicity, succeeded academically.‎ But Emily stuttered (口吃) terribly, and at the age of 12, the speaking problem caused her so much embarrassment that she stopped speaking altogether. One day a concerned teacher saw Emily imitating some of her classmates. He encouraged her to participate in a school play, using a different accent. She agreed, and according to Emily, “I didn’t stutter once.”‎ At 16 she was dealt a very disappointing blow. Hoping to follow in her sister’s academic footsteps, Emily applied to the famous Westminster School but she failed. Little did she know that failure would lead her to the place where her life would ‎ be changed forever!‎ Emily instead attended a college that specialized in the performing arts. While starring in a school play, she was spotted by talent agent Roger Charteris, who arranged (安排) for the 18-year-old to audition (试演) for a London play. The director found her to be determined and offered her a part. In 2001, with only six months of formal acting experience, Emily found herself performing together with the famous Judi Dench!‎ Then she began getting roles on British TV and made her film debut (初次演出) in 2004. Two short years later, Emily won the part of a lifetime, playing Meryl Streep’s assistant in The Devil Wears Prada.‎ A lot of movie offers followed, including The Young Victoria, which earned Emily several nominations (提名) and awards.‎ Emily realizes now that those early hardships led her to a place where she successfully followed her own dreams.‎ ‎“When I think back to those times, I think to myself, without the disappointments I’d never be here!”‎ ‎24. Before Emily went to college to study the performing arts, she ______.‎ ‎ A. had no acting experience B. spoke with a strong accent ‎ C. was very lively and talkative D. followed her sister’s example ‎25. Who opened up Emily’s acting career?‎ ‎ A. Her mother. B. Roger Charteris.‎ ‎ C. Judi Dench. D. Meryl Streep.‎ ‎26. How does Emily feel when looking back on her early experiences?‎ ‎ A. Regretful. B. Ashamed. C. Grateful. D. Disappointed.‎ ‎27. What can we learn from Emily’s story?‎ ‎ A. Two heads are better than one. B. While there is life, there is hope.‎ ‎ C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Storms make trees take ‎ deeper roots.‎ C When 12 girls from San Fernando High School in California received a grant (助学金) to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter. Now for over a year, the girls have been working after school and over their winter and spring breaks to complete their project.‎ ‎“They have this amazing drive that I’ve never seen before,” said Violet Mardirosian, a math teacher at San Fernando High. “I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up, saying ‘I didn’t expect this much work,’ but they don’t. They’re just working hard and they’re not giving up.”‎ Living in a low-income community (社区), the girls have seen the problem of homelessness, which is why they chose that population to create a product for. Many of them are also from immigrant families and hope the solar-powered shelter might help refugees (难民).‎ Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no engineering experience, the girls figured out as a team how to create the prototype (雏形), using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important lesson she’s learned over the course of the project isn’t technical. “I’ve learned a lot about helping others, helping the community and showing a better world to other people,” she said.‎ The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention. Mardirosian says all the participating students have expressed interest in going into STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in being involved next year. She says, “Many of them didn’t think about engineering before. They thought maybe they’re not made out to be an engineer. But working together now they realize they’re all needed in this field. Everyone has found their importance in this picture.”‎ ‎28. Why did Mardirosian think some girls would give up the subject?‎ ‎ A. It was not practical in real life.‎ ‎ B. It demanded a lot of time and energy.‎ ‎ C. It was not supported by their math teacher.‎ ‎ D. It required a lot of money and expert knowledge.‎ ‎29. Why did the girls decide to create a solar-powered shelter?‎ ‎ A. To save energy. B. To win a scholarship.‎ ‎ C. To help the homeless. D. To be admitted to MIT.‎ ‎30. According to Maggie, what is the most valuable lesson she has learned from the project?‎ ‎ A. How to code. B. The power of teamwork.‎ ‎ C. The way to teach herself. D. How to make the world a better place.‎ ‎31. What does Mardirosian think of the project?‎ ‎ A. It taught girls to be independent.‎ ‎ B. It should be continued next year.‎ ‎ C. It inspired girls’ interest in STEM.‎ ‎ D. It showed the importance of engineering.‎ D Most advertising in ancient times was word-of-mouth, that is, people like something and told others about it. But even then, people advertised by putting inscriptions (题字) on walls, for example to display political slogans (标语) and to offer household goods for sale. Also, in Rome and Greece, in ancient times, it was common for people to use papyrus, a kind of paper, to advertise things they had lost or found. The tradition of wall or rock painting as a way of advertising goods is even more ancient.‎ Painting developed in the 15th and 16th centuries, and this increased the forms of advertising. Handbills — small printed notices and advertisements — became common. Then, by the 17th century, advertisements started appearing in weekly newspapers in England. In the 19th century mail order catalogues appeared, helping to sell all kinds of goods.‎ Finally, advertisements in the 1960s became more creative and more interesting. Also, they began to draw attention to the ‘unique selling points’, the USPs of products. These are the qualities that make a product different from competitors’‎ ‎ products.‎ These days, advertisers have come up with new ways of promoting their products. For example, product placement is now common. This is advertising in TV programs or films by having a character, preferably played by a famous actor, use a particular product. For example, Tom Cruise’s character in the movie, Minority Report, had a computer with the Nokia logo on it, and his watch was clearly made by Bulgari.‎ TV commercials are a very good medium (媒介) for advertisers, though these are very expensive. If an organization wants to have a 30-second TV advertisement during the yearly Superbowl game in the United States, they have to pay about $2.5 million.‎ Perhaps the most interesting development is the use of famous people to endorse (代言) a product. The basketball player, Michael Jordan, endorsed Mike products and wore them while playing.‎ Getting well-known people to endorse a product can be expensive, but endorsements certainly increase a product’s sales, especially if the famous person has a positive image in the eyes of the public.‎ ‎32. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Ways of advertising in ancient times. B. The development of advertising.‎ ‎ C. The influence of advertising. D. Types of the product advertising in ancient times.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is TRUE about advertisement in the 1960s?‎ ‎ A. They were complex and entertaining.‎ ‎ B. They contained quite a lot of information.‎ ‎ C. They were mainly shown in TV programs.‎ ‎ D. They concentrated on the special features of products.‎ ‎34. In product placement, advertisers tend to use ______.‎ ‎ A. cartoon characters B. popular actors or actresses ‎ ‎ C. fictional characters D. intelligent people ‎35. What is the benefit of endorsements?‎ ‎ A. They are not expensive. B. They are fairly ‎ interesting.‎ ‎ C. They promote product sales. D. They pass on positive messages.‎ 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。选项有两项为多余选项。‎ Job Interview Success When you apply for a job, the impression you create during the interview is just as important as the skills and background you bring to the table. The following suggestions will help you prepare for a successful interview.‎ Before You Leave Home ‎ 36 This means the clothes you choose should be the same as what you would wear for work once you are employed. Conservative (保守的) colors and styles always convey (传送) a more trustworthy image.‎ Rehearse (预演) the interview at home. Think of questions that you will probably be asked, and prepare answers for them. 37 ‎ Don’t be late for your interview. The best way to avoid this problem is to decide ahead of time how you want to get there. If by bus or subway, check the schedules the day before. If by car, plan your route carefully and figure out how long it will take. 38 ‎ During the Interview Speak clearly. Look the interviewer in the eye when speaking and use clear, confident tones (语调). Do not speak too quickly or nervously. 39 Speaking with a firm, clear voice is one of the best ways to give an impression of self-confidence.‎ Ask questions. 40 It will not make you appear unprepared or stupid. On the contrary, asking the right questions shows that you are knowledgeable about the company and conveys the impression that you are interested and enthusiastic.‎ A. Dress suitably.‎ B. Be well-mannered.‎ C. Do not be afraid to do this.‎ D. This will help you be calm when you are at the actual interview.‎ E. Rather, pronounce your words carefully and pause when searching for ideas.‎ F. Don’t waste the interviewer’s time but don’t give the impression you want to rush away.‎ G. Careful planning will ensure that you will make a good impression by arriving on time.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分55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、D）中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I have no idea she would be there.
