By 9:30 p.m. September 30, new movies had brought in 630 million yuan.‎ The major movies contributing to the box office record were My People, My Country, The Captain and The Climbers.‎ My People, My Country ranked first by bringing in around 270 million yuan. It was made up of seven short stories which were set in historic moments to look back at New China’s 70 years of existence. The movie was co-directed by Chen Kaige, Zhang Yibai, Guan Hu, Xue Xiaolu, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and Wen Muye.‎ Another well-received film, The Captain, earned 194 million yuan to occupy second place. Starring actor Zhang Hanyu, the film is based on heroic Sichuan Airlines pilot Liu Chuanjian, who completed one of the most miraculous （奇迹的） emergency landings in China’s civil aviation （民航） history.‎ Also adapted from real events, The Climbers earned 157 million yuan. With an excellent cast including Zhang Ziyi and Wu Jing, the film is about Chinese mountaineers’ climbing to the top of Mount Qomolangma.‎ Wu Jing said the film filled a gap in the market, with sports-themed titles quite rare in the world’s second-largest movie market.‎ Besides the three movies, eight other films will be on during the holiday ending on Oct 7.‎ ‎21．My people, My country was directed by the following directors except ________.‎ A．Zhang Yibai B．Zhang Yimou C．Chen Kaige D．Xu Zheng ‎22．The film The Captain has earned ________ yuan according to the passage.‎ A．194 million B．157 million C．270 million D．630 million ‎23．Why did Wu Jing say The Climbers filled a gap in the movie market?‎ A．Because it is about climbing Mount Qomolangma.‎ B．Because it is a very successful movie.‎ C．Because its theme is about sports.‎ D．Because it is adapted from a real event.‎ B Brrriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?‎ The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time to______________, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.‎ The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons (神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.‎ So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. We’d take some deep ‎ breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.‎ ‎24．According to the author, we are more creative when we are _______.‎ A．focused B．relaxed C．awake D．busy ‎25．What does the author imply about newspapers?‎ A．They are solution providers. B．They are a source of inspiration.‎ C．They are normally full of bad news. D．They are more educational than websites.‎ ‎26．By “tune into your wandering mind” (in Para. 2), the author means “_______”.‎ A．wander into the wild B．listen to a beautiful tune C．switch to the traffic channel D．stop concentrating on anything ‎27．The author writes the last paragraph in order to _______.‎ A．offer practical suggestions B．summarize past experiences C．advocate diverse ways of life D．establish a routine for the future C ‎ Since App Store was set up, it has been selling consumers one simple thing — choice. Whether you wanted to play games, read the news, or do a thousand other things, there was something for whatever you desired.‎ Then something funny happened. Logging into the App Store today is like going into a shopping mall with only a coupon (优惠券) for one thing: There's so much choice; it might be easier to give up than to choose.‎ It isn't consumers who are burdened, though. Too much content of all kinds also has economic effects. When countless choices are available, it causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us a bit crazy.‎ So what is the way forward? It may well be to tum less choice itself to the marketing strategy. There are already signs that this is happening. Firstly content companies are looking to prevent their offerings from getting lost in the tons of stuff. Most obvious is Disney, which is planning to open its own streaming service next year. The point is to narrow the focus so that those seeking Disney cartoons will have one place to go, rather than being around various services.‎ Yet if that represents a careful first step, there are more extreme options too. Consider the idea of a wine club: from tens of thousands of bottles each year, subscribers (用户) pay someone to select the most interesting ones. Perhaps what comes next for digital content is similar — carefully selected offerings from trusted sources that put choices in the hands of someone else in order to get rid of the anxiety of choosing.‎ Up to now, too much choice in digital media has only one solution: the algorithm (运算法则). But we've seen the trouble with algorithms on You Tube. They feed you only what you've already said you like, not things you may not know you're into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content. The way forward can't simply be more or better algorithms.‎ Instead, it's time for digital companies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can use a device, or what we are available to choose from.‎ As we move further into the digital revolution, what people ask for is clear: Less.‎ ‎28．What will too much choice of content on the market result in?‎ A．The shutdown of companies. B．Anxiety of consumers.‎ C．Poor quality of products. D．Negative influence on economy.‎ ‎29．Why is Disney planning to open its own streaming service?‎ A．To improve its marketing strategy. B．To help people focus on less choice.‎ C．To encourage more people to visit Disney. D．To provide consumers with various services ‎30．In what way may a wine club and digital content in the near future be similar?‎ A．Someone else will be employed to make a choice for consumers.‎ B．Both of them will offer only a few options.‎ C．Consumers will refuse to choose from too many options.‎ D．Both of them will make a change about their products.‎ ‎31．What do we know about the algorithm?‎ A．It manages to offer what consumers will possibly like.‎ B．It helps to remove disturbing content from digital media.‎ C．it offers consumers things based on what they've said they like.‎ D．It'll solve the problem of having too much choice.‎ D ‎ As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my ‎ grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.‎ Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.‎ ‎“I want to climb the stone walls,” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” the response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself. ”‎ ‎“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”‎ Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you.” the kids can count on hearing me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”‎ ‎32．The writer enjoyed his visits to the farm because ________.‎ A．there were old stone walls B．it was an exciting place for him C．he liked his grandfather D．he was allowed to climb the stone walls ‎33．Hearing the writer’s idea to climb the stone walls, ________.‎ A．all the adults were shocked B．his parents agreed C．none of the adults responded D．his grandfather backed him up ‎34．We can describe the writer as ________.‎ A．adventurous B．reliable C．smart D．considerate ‎35．What is probably the best title for the text?‎ A．An Unforgettable Experience B．Do Whatever You Like C．Just Be Yourself D．Remain Adventurous ‎ 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。‎ ‎ I’m an ocean lover. Living in Montreal, far away from the ocean, makes it even more a dreamland for me. 36． And I’ve been doing it for the last 20 years.‎ When I was younger, I would pick up seashells and little stones and bring them back home. 37． But as I visited the ocean more and more, I started picking up the garbage left by some polluting people. I picked up less and less “ocean treasure”. 38．‎ I realized that a stone or seashell we find in the ocean has a wonderful color that makes us pick it up. But when it dries up one day, or we don’t find what we have kept lovely anymore, what can we do then? 39． At the same time, I also realized that natural things are nice in their natural environment. If everybody picked up every shell from the ocean, and left garbage out there, the beach would become something not so nice very shortly.‎ ‎40． I would just “borrow” seashells or little stones from the ocean, and bring them back after a while, since the beauty of shells does so much good to me.‎ I control the quantity and keep it to the smallest number. So if you’ve seen a lady picking up garbage and throwing shells back into the ocean from a box or a bag on a beautiful sunny day, don’t feel strange. It was probably me.‎ A．So I made a decision that day.‎ B．I began to question my habits.‎ C．I try to visit it at the very least, once a year.‎ D．I will regret why I picked it up in the first place.‎ E. I had lots of them on my shelves, floors, desks, etc.‎ F. The ocean influences life in California in many ways.‎ G. Ocean lovers from all walks of life should come together to protect it.‎ 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。‎ ‎ On my 21st birthday, my mother gifted me a pair of beautiful bangles (手镯). They were the gift 41 by my granny, and my mom got it at my age. Besides the feelings they are concerned with, these bangles spread their 42 in another way: They are studded (点缀) with heart-shaped stones.‎ Till now, the memory of these bangles always makes me 43 . It is the best gift that I have ever got, although there is a pity. One day, I found one of the bangles had its studded stones missing. To 44 it, I went out on a cold afternoon to the jewelry shop. All the way, I was lost in my 45 , wondering whether the jeweler could make it as the same as it was. 46 , when reaching the shop, I couldn’t find the bangle anywhere. Tears filled my eyes then and it took me weeks to 47 this sadness.‎ Two years later I left the city but the accident 48 troubled me from time to time. However, twenty years later I was again in the city. One day I went out to 49 strawberries. The seller was a young lady. While talking with her, I 50 saw her hand. She was wearing the 51 bangle that I lost years ago. So I asked her how she 52 it. She started sobbing (呜咽)，“This is a special gift from my late (已故的）father. Many years ago, my father picked it up on the roadside 53 I said, “The bangle is mine,” and I told her the whole 54 . After hearing that, she 55 me and tried to pull out that bangle to give it back to me, but I 56 her. I said, I know the 57 of losing the things from our loved ones. I don’t want to do the same to you. If you 58 it，I will be happier.” We exchanged smiles in silence, and then I left the place. I wasn’t 59 at all. I believe that sometimes “you can’t gain much without 60 a bit.” This is what I have learned from the lost bangle.‎ ‎41．A．created B．shown C．given D．booked ‎42．A．light B．color C．usage D．beauty ‎43．A．excited B．crazy C．upset D．calm ‎44．A．sell B．wash C．exchange D．repair ‎45．A．plan B．thought C．dream D．joy ‎46．A．Therefore B．Meanwhile C．However D．Otherwise ‎47．A．understand B．overcome C．hide D．enjoy ‎48．A．never B．still C．ever D．even ‎49．A．buy B．collect C．plant D．water ‎50．A．suddenly B．gradually C．patiently D．unfortunately ‎51．A．new B．strange C．common D．same ‎52．A．noticed B．checked C．won D．got ‎53．A．by chance B．by mistake C．on purpose D．on time ‎54．A．story B．speech C．experiment D．report ‎55．A．refused B．trusted C．watched D．touched ‎56．A．followed B．warned C．praised D．stopped ‎57．A．honor B．pain C．importance D．embarrassment ‎58．A．change B．ignore C．keep D．return ‎59．A．nervous B．disappointed C．pleased D．grateful ‎60．A．losing B．remembering C．protecting D．destroying 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ Today I will share a true story about an overseas student61．studied in Germany.‎ After years of hard work, this student graduated with62．(amaze) achievements.
