You freeze in horror and burn with shame.‎ What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.‎ Clicking “send” too soon Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.‎ Writing the wrong time The sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).‎ Clicking “reply all” unintentionally You accidentally reveal to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.‎ Sending an offensive message to it’s subject The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.‎ ‎21．What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?‎ A．Avoid further involvement. B．Try offering other choices.‎ C．Meet other staff members. D．Make a light-hearted apology.‎ ‎22．How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?‎ A．By promising not to offend the receiver again. B．By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.‎ C．By asking the receiver to control his anger. D．By talking to the receiver face to face.‎ ‎23．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．Defining email errors. B．Handling email accidents.‎ C．Reducing email mistakes. D．Improving email writing.‎ B Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of ‎ desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.‎ Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.‎ Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.‎ Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you're hungry.‎ Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.‎ Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.‎ Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, played a bit.‎ Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.‎ ‎24．The author intends to tell us that____________.‎ A．true happiness comes from spiritual riches B．big houses are people's most valued possessions C．big houses can in a sense bring richness of life D．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means ‎25．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that______.‎ A．however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied B．however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor C．though their house is big, they prefer a simple life D．though their house is big, it seems to be a cage ‎26．It can be learned from the passage that __________.‎ A．more money brings more happiness B．art is needed to make your house beautiful C．literature can enrich your spiritual life D．sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness ‎27．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Interest and Enthusiasm B．Secret of Wealth C．Rest and Refreshment D．House of Life ‎ C Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.‎ My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday/a lavish sweet-16 party.” We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done)and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.‎ It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew—I knew— I had to have it.‎ ‎“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her, “What a neat basket.”‎ I tried to hold off at first, I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t stand it any longer: “Mom, please can I please, please get it? I’ll do extra chores for as long as you say. I’ll do anything, but I need that basket, I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”‎ I was desperate.‎ ‎“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “If you save up you could buy this yourself.”‎ ‎“By the time I make enough it’ll be gone!”‎ ‎“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.‎ ‎“He can’t hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it .Please, Mom, Please?”‎ ‎“There might be another way,” she said.‎ And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front).And then, weeks later, I counted, re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day ! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon….‎ Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I’d played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.‎ And then came the lesson I’ve taken with me through my life: “Honey, Your basket is extra-special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears.“Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”‎ ‎28．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?‎ A．The mother raised her children in an unusual way. ‎ B．The author came from a well-off family.‎ C．The children enjoyed doing housework.‎ D．The children were fond of the US president’s daughters.‎ ‎29．By using “naked” (Paragraph 12),the author seems to stress that the basket was _____.‎ A．something she could afford B．something important to her C．something impossible to get D．something she could do without ‎30．To the author, it seemed to be a horrible turn of events that _______ .‎ A．something spoiled her paying plan B．the basket cost more than she had saved C．a neighborhood girl had bought a new bike D．someone else had got a basket of the same kind ‎31．What is the life lesson the author learned from her mother?‎ A．Save money for a rainy day. B．Earn your bread with your sweat.‎ C．Good advice is beyond all price. D．God helps those who help themselves.‎ D Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine. But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation ‎ that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.‎ The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.‎ But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.‎ That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.‎ The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.‎ Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption, sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.‎ Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.‎ Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.‎ ‎32．The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.‎ A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend B．anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons C．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention D．information about measles spreads quickly ‎33．Herd immunity works well when ____________.‎ A．exemptions are allowed B．the whole neighborhood is involved in C．several vaccines are used together D．new regulations are added to the state laws ‎34．What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?‎ A．The overuse of vaccine. B．The lack of medical care.‎ C．The features of measles itself. D．The vaccine opt-outs of some people.‎ ‎35．What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A．To introduce the idea of exemption. B．To discuss methods to cure measles.‎ C．To stress the importance of vaccination. D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.‎ 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。‎ The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36． Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work?‎ The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37． As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.‎ So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38．‎ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 ．To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.‎ ‎40． For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.‎ As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.‎ A. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.‎ B. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.‎ C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.‎ D. It all depends on your character.‎ E. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.‎ F. Those are the risks you should jump to take.‎ G. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.‎ 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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ One night, when I was eight , my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. “Sweetie, my company wants to 41 me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling that you’ve done 42 and allowing you to skip a grade, but you’ll have to 43 your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?” She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 44 for the rest of the night I had said “yes” but for the first time, I realized the 45 decisions adults had to make.‎ For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I’d 46 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her 47 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.‎ During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 48 apartment, I became 49 how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then 50 I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on 51 family and work. 52 difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn’t know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a 53 attitude.‎ Back home , I 54 myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she 55 to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be 56 . I learnt how to take care of myself and set high but achievable 57 .‎ My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the 58 has really taught me. Sacrifices 59 in the end.
