Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn’s house and hugged and greeted my 17‎ ‎ grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!”‎ ‎    My daughter smiled calmly and said, “We drive in this weather all the time, Mum. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”‎ ‎    After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”.‎ ‎    We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. Before me lay the most beautiful sight! There were five acres of flowers! “But who has done this?” I asked Carolyn. “It’s just one woman,” Carolyn answered. “That’s her home,” Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio (露台), we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline.‎ ‎    The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs (球茎),” it read. The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman.” The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”‎ ‎    I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begun — one bulb at a time — to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.‎ 21. The author hesitated to see the daffodils when her daughter called her because _________.‎ ‎   A. she cared more about the children B. she had to pay for the visit 17‎ ‎   C. the weather was not good enough D. it was not easy for her to drive there ‎22. What do we know about the woman who grew daffodils?‎ ‎   A. She must be a modest woman.‎ ‎   B. She worked as a professional gardener.‎ ‎   C. It took her great determination to grow daffodils.‎ ‎   D. Being poor, she made a living by selling daffodils.‎ ‎23. What could the author probably learn from this experience?‎ A. Time lost can not be recalled.‎ B. We must put the interests of others above our own.‎ C. We can change the world by growing flowers.‎ D. Accumulation of small steps may lead to something magnificent.‎ ‎24. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. A Woman and Her Daffodils         B. The Daffodil Garden C. One Bulb at a Time                  D. I Love Daffodils B Trailers (预告片) shouldn’t really be a hard thing to do: show some footage (镜头), get people excited, but don’t give too much away. It’s a practice that some movies struggle to do, with many either getting too enthusiastic about showing 17‎ ‎ their big plot points, and others simply not catching the magic of the movie. Considering that humans struggle with this practice so much, the folks over the 20th Century Fox decided to see what a computer could do, tasking IBM’s Watson, the supercomputer, with cutting together footage from the upcoming sci-fi thriller, Morgan, to create the final trailer. ( IBM’s Watson has done many things; beat human competitors in quiz shows, created reserved recipes and described the contents of photos. Now it has become the first-ever AI to produce a film trailer for the new sci-fi film.) The result was actually surprisingly good.‎ Using Watson’s experimental learning techniques, IBM’s cutting-edge AI sorted out hundreds of classic thriller trailers to learn what exactly gets an audience to that special place of being both scared and entertained. With that knowledge firmly in place, Watson processed the entire Morgan movie, selecting the 10 most thrilling and frightening moments to cut together into a trailer.‎ ‎“Watson was able to model the scenes visually in order to determine: Was it a scary scene? Was it a tender moment? Was there sadness, or happiness?” said IBM’s John Smith.‎ Although a human editor was still needed to slice the scenes together to tell a clear and reasonable story, the AI shortened the process down to only 24 hours when it typically takes around 10 to 30 days to complete a trailer. Still, it’s a great impressive achievement, which the likes of Terminator Genisys could perhaps learn from in the future.‎ 25. What does the author think is amazing according to the passage?‎ A. Human editors taking 30 days to make a trailer.‎ B. The 20th Century Fox having produced a thriller.‎ C. IBM’s Watson having created a trailer for a thriller.‎ D. Human being able to learn from machines in the future.‎ 26. What happened before Watson cut together footage from the movie Morgan?‎ A. Watson learned to beat chess competitors. ‎ B. Watson was fed with hundreds of thriller trailers.‎ C. Watson chose several moments from 10 most frightening scenes.‎ 17‎ A. Watson learned to take photos.‎ 27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. A good trailer should give away as much of a movie as possible.‎ B. Watson has become the first-ever AI to produce a film trailer for the new romantic film.‎ C. Watson is able to model the scenes to decide the feelings.‎ D. Watson can work more efficiently and shoot a film.‎ C Roma Pass Kit (套装) enables both tourists and interested local residents the opportunity to benefit from various discounts and services that make it easier and cheaper to enjoy the sights of Rome.‎ l Free entry to the first 2 visited museums and/ or archaeological sites of your choice.‎ l Discounted tickets to all other museums and/ or archaeological sites visited thereafter.‎ l Free use of the city’s public transport network.

Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish, claim the education analysts. Consumer savvy children are leading their families into huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future. Behavioral consultant Chris Calland said, “Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids. There’s nothing wrong with that 17‎ ‎ as such. The problem arises when it means always giving in to all our children’s demands — even if they are beyond our price range or not age appropriate.” Ms. Calland, who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson, added, “Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills. Yet so often the parcels we’ve carefully wrapped, once opened，are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for, they have now lost interest in.” Ms. Calland and Ms. Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their child’s Christmas lists this year. They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”. Ms. Calland said, “All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we’re only building up problems for the future. We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.” “Children learn fast — if we sometimes change our mind, they quickly realize that lying on the floor and screaming for it might work. Make sure you and your partner are working together on this. Be consistent. And try not to get involved in competition with other families or friends.”‎ 32. How is the “I want it now” generation created?‎ A. Parents can’t afford the gifts for their children.‎ B. Parents become heavily in debt.‎ C. Parents are trying to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale.‎ D. Parents give children whatever they want at Christmas.‎ ‎33. According to the passage, we can infer that Ms. Calland intends to ________.‎ A. give her support to parents in heavy debt ‎ B. advise parents shouldn’t always say yes to children’s demands C. warn parents that saying no to children’s demands will worsen their relationship ‎ D. teach parents how to buy proper gifts for children 17‎ ‎34. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. Parents should have the same attitude. ‎ B. Parents needn’t worry about the new generation.‎ ‎ C. Parents mustn’t criticize their children. ‎ D. Parents may hold different opinions.‎ ‎35. Ms. Calland would agree that parents should ________.‎ A. buy nothing for children at Christmas B. choose gifts freely for children ‎ C. let children choose their own gifts D. avoid competing with others 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。 ‎ ‎ E Personally, I believe that the female brain is mainly built for empathy — the ability to understand other people — and that the male brain is simply built for building systems. _____36_____ For example, women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting, while men will choose magazines featuring computers and sport. ‎ You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up. However, this is not the case. A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face, and newborn boys look longer at a mobile. ____37____ It has also been observed that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people’s feelings. Boys, however, seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys having clear functions. ____38____ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male. Math and engineering, which require high levels of systems-thinking, are also male-chosen disciplines. ‎ 17‎ Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons that connect the right and left part of their brains. Because of it, women have a better ability to multitask than men. ____39____ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time. They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.‎ Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender is better than the other, but this is not the case. My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy, but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses . ____40____ It is not true. The study simply looks at males and females as two groups, and asks what differences exist and why they are there.‎ A. Generally speaking, there are clear differences.‎ B. You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.‎ C. Their preference for building systems may change over time.‎ D. They will consider many sources of information at the same time.‎ E. It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.‎ F. That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.‎ G. Others may think my theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A voyaging ship was badly damaged and sank during a storm and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. Not knowing what else to do, the two ____41____ agreed that they had no ____42____ but to pray (祈祷) to God.‎ ‎____43____, to find out whose prayers were more ____44____, they agreed to divide the land between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

However, the other man still had nothing.‎ ‎____52____, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island and in the morning he found a ship at his side of the island.‎ The first man ____53____ the ship with his wife and decided to leave the other man on the island, considering him unworthy to receive God’s blessings ____54____ none of his prayers had been answered. As the ship was about to ____55____, the first man heard a voice from Heaven booming “Why are you leaving your ____56____ on the island?”‎ ‎“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t ____57____ anything.”‎ ‎“You are mistaken!” the voice ____58____ him. “He had only one prayer, which I ____59____. He prayed that all your prayers would be answered. Had it not been for that, you would not have ____60____ any of my blessings.”‎ ‎ For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us.
