In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use. He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could — he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept. The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved. Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out. When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive. 24. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon? A. He got lost. B. He broke his skis. C. He hurt his eyes. D. He caught a cold. 25. How did Nicholas keep himself warm? A. He found a shelter. B. He lighted some branches. C. He kept on skiing. D. He built a snow cave. 26. On Tuesday, Nicholas . A. returned to his shelter safely. B. was saved by a searcher. C. got stuck in the snow D. stayed where he was 27. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he . A. did the right things in the dangerous situation. B. watched Grylls’ TV program regularly C. created some tips for survival D. was very hard-working C British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness. Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of several UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even signs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.” The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours. British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common. Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits (利润)as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves.” she says. 28. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. British people are the least productive in the world B. Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day week C. PR company has witnessed a rise in employees’ happiness D. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries 29. Which is the proper description of British working practices? A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit. B. In productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States. C. Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease. D. Automation and AI are likely to cause an unsteady work market. 30. Which can be inferred from O’Grady’ s words in the last paragraph? A. It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation. B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours. C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers. D. Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology. 31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce some British firms’ switch to a four-day working week. B. To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety. C. To appeal for more reasonable working conditions. D. To show the present productivity problem in Britain. D It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest man would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter. Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is anything but enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship(公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take(互谅互让)from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 32. The passage mainly talks about _________. A. traffic jams B. good manners C. road politeness D. modern drivers 33. Troubles on the road are often caused by _________. A. traffic jams B. the behavior of the drivers C. the great speed of modern life D. terrible road conditions 34. What does the underlined word “anything but” in the second paragraph mean? A. in no way B. by coincidence C. in particular D. in effect 35. It is not always right for drivers to _________. A. master the roadmanship B. neglect politeness when they see it C. give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness D. encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分。共 10 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项 Whether you’re a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development. 36 No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect. ● Respect their belongings. One important way to show respect is to pay respect to the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent’s belongings is not acceptable for anyone. 37 And never borrow things without asking first. ● Be on time. 38 For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew(宵禁). Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you’re going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age. ● 39 Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don’t expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated. A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a sign of respect. ● Be kind. Kind words and devotion are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don’t rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Appreciate your parents’ achievements. 40 A. Be a good listener. B. Celebrate with them. C. Lateness stands for a lack of respect. D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated. E. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life. F. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others. G. Don’t take advantage of your parents’ kindness and generosity. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节 (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。 In 2009 a group of parents in an English town started sharing worries about their children’s money-management skills.

The no-fly movement is small but many 63 have joined it think it will eventually receive 64 same attention as the no-plastic or less-meat movements because of flying’s 2% 65 (contribute) to carbon emissions, which they say could rise to 16% by 2050. Some supporters suggest that people should fly no more than once per year and any further flights should be taxed. Critics of the movement, however, argue that most flying is done by small numbers of people when 66 (compare)to other forms of transport and so flying is an easy target. Much more environmental damage is done by cars they argue. But people won t target 67 (driver) because the majority of people drive. In addition, the no-fly movement 68 (lead) by people who don’t really need to travel very far and have plenty 69 free time to spare.

As you can see, it is on the North Bank of the River Thames. It is the center of an important industry in the everyday life of the British people. Tea is the British national drink. Every man, woman and child over ten years of age, has an average over four cups a day, or some one thousand five hundred cups annually. About 30 percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world. Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea. After that, they I. Listening( 30分) 1-5. ACABC 6-10. BABCB 11-15.

Writing( 25分) Dear Thomas, It is my pleasure to recommend some Chinese learning resources to you. I have recently bought a set of books called The Origin and Evolution of Chinese Characters, which explain the origins of many Chinese characters. I think the books are well worth reading. As for the website, I’d like to suggest www.echinese.com. On this website, you can find plenty of study materials of Chinese language and culture. For listening and speaking, I strongly recommend an app named Fluent Chinese. You can use it to listen to Chinese news and songs, watch Chinese films and read poems and stories aloud. I hope you will like these resources and make progress in Chinese. Yours faithfully Li Hua 查看更多
