It’s a sketch of soldiers playing soccer with a tin can during an unofficial truce (停战) between German and Allied soldiers on the Western Front in 1914. The artwork was drawn by an unnamed German soldier during the war on the Western Front.‎ The artwork was given to Private Jack Shelley, a British soldier, when he was defending the town of Frelinghien, France. The sketch is an important historical document, as it provides evidence that the tales of enemy soldiers socializing together are true. But for Private Shelley’s descendants(后代) it has even greater value, since it was his prized possession. Jessie Shelley, Jack’s great-granddaughter, has fond memories of the old man sharing stories about his experiences in the war when he came to live permanently in Australia in 1930. the family lost track of the artwork after Jack’s possessions were moved during the sale of his house when he died in 1984.‎ ‎‘Great-grandpa had a tobacco tin with a dozen or so buttons from the uniforms of men from both sides. He told us all the details of every one of those buttons. To Great-grandpa they represented real people he had known, some of whom hadn’t come home from the war. He had at least two buttons from German uniforms that he told us were exchanged between the men involved in the Christmas Day Truce.’‎ On Christmas Day of 1914, the soldiers came out of their trenches(战壕) into no-man’s-land and shared food, drinks and cigarettes. Some even exchanged small gifts. The men even played football games together. Later, this spirit of cooperation continued in unofficial agreements between the sides to stop shooting at mealtimes and even at times when soldiers were working in the open.‎ This fascinating image of peace and humanity during the war has continued through the years. The sketch is a symbol of the potential for humanity, hope and kindness to exist in even the most violent circumstances.‎ 21. In what situation was the sketch done?‎ A. It was done in a garage B. It was done on the front line.‎ C. It was done during a formal soccer match.‎ D. It was done by a soldier fighting in Germany.‎ 22. Why is this sketch an important historical document?‎ A. It explains the specific reason for the war.‎ B. It shows the war on the Western Front came to an end.‎ C. It proves enemy soldiers could live in peace sometimes.‎ D. It is evidence that soldiers could adapt quickly to society.‎ 23. What did Private Shelly say about the buttons in the tobacco tin?‎ A. They were from German uniforms. B. Some of them represented his honor.‎ C. Some of their owners didn’t survive the war.‎ D. They were collected during Christmas Day in 1914.‎ 24. What impact did the Christmas Day Truce have?‎ A. It brought about more truces. B. It started wide information exchanges.‎ C. It led to no agreement between the sides.‎ D. It resulted in more celebrations between the sides.‎ C Our most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces, are designed mostly for extroverts (性格外向者).‎ In the typical classroom, students are often divided into groups---four or five or more kids all facing each other. And kids are working on countless group assignments. Even ‎ in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on unaccompanied flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members. As for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers (局外人) often or, worse, as problem cases. And the vast majority of teachers believe that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert (性格内向者), even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research.‎ The same thing is true in our workplaces. Now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and stare of our coworkers. And when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks ---which is something we might all favor nowadays. And interesting research by Adam Grant at the Wharton School has found that introverted leaders often deliver better outcomes than extroverts do, because when they are managing thoughtful employees, they’re much more likely to let those employees run with their ideas.‎ In fact, some of our great leaders in history have been introverts. I’ll give you some examples. Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa parks, Gandni -- all these people described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. However, they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. And this turns out to have a special power, because people could feel that these leaders were in control, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.‎ 21. What is the author’s attitude to frequent group study in class? ‎ A. Critical. B. Curious C. Careless D. Approving 22. What do we know about introverted leaders?‎ A. They like taking risks. B. They are open-minded.‎ C. They are often creative D. They are very enthusiastic.‎ 23. What does the underlined part “took the spotlight” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Got nervous easily B. Became very understanding C. Received a lot of public attention D. Enjoyed showing themselves in public.‎ 21. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. How to be extroverts B. Why introverts suffer C. The power of introverts D. The characteristic of extroverts.‎ D What’s fiercer than a lion? The honey badger (蜜獾), one of the toughest mammals in Africa and western Asia. Honey badgers stand less than a foot high. They are only a couple feet long. They weigh just over 20 pounds. Yet they have a reputation for toughness that is far greater than their size.‎ So what makes the honey badger so tough? They have speed, but so do many animals. They aren’t stronger than lions, so how do they stop them? The thing that sets the honey badge apart is their skin. Their skin is thick and tough. Arrows, spears, and bites from other animals can rarely go through it. Not only is their skin thick and tough, it is also loose. This allows them to twist and turn to fight back while another animal is attacking them.‎ Honey badgers have long, sharp claws. These claws are good for attacking and even better for digging. Honey badgers are some of nature’s most skilled diggers. They can dig a nine-foot tunnel into hard ground in about 10 minutes. They love to catch a meal by digging up the holes of frogs and snakes. They also use their digging skills to create their homes. They live in small holes in the ground and defend them fiercely.‎ You don’t get a reputation like the honey badger by running from danger. The honey badger is a fearless and tireless fighter. They will attack any creature that threatens them, man included. Because of the honey badger’s reputation, most predators (食肉动物) avoid them. Some animals use the honey badger’s reputation to their advantage. Adult cheetahs (猎豹) have spotted coats, but their kittens have silver manes (鬃毛) and look like honey badgers. Some scientists believe that their coloring tricks predators into avoiding them.‎ You might be wondering: “If honey badgers are so tough, how did they get a name that makes them sound like a piece of candy?” The answer makes sense. Since honey badgers have such thick skin, bees rarely harm them. So honey badgers love to attack ‎ beehives(蜂窝). Honey badgers run after honey so aggressively that beekeepers in Africa have to use electric fencing to hold them back. There’s nothing sweet about that.‎ 21. What contributes to honey badgers’ toughness?‎ A. Their skin B. Their speed C. Their weight D. Their strength 22. Which best express the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. Honey badgers use their claws to defend their homes.‎ B. Honey badgers love to dig up hotels to hide their food.‎ C. Honey badgers’ digging skills assist them in many ways.‎ D. Honey badgers’ claws are powerful weapons for fighting.‎ 23. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Silver manes B. Honey badgers C. Adult cheetahs D. Young cheetahs 24. According to the text, honey badgers got their name _____.‎ A. From their taste for honey. B. Because they are fond of candy.‎ C. From the sweet taste of their meat. D. Because they look sweet and charming.‎ 第二节：七选五 Volunteering abroad is a mind-opening experience that exposes one to other cultures, languages and ways of life. 36 , the volunteer learns to appreciate the gifts of his home culture, as well as the benefits of the new. These volunteer opportunities often offer additional professional benefits, as well.‎ The Satisfaction of Altruism (无私)‎ Any volunteer job instills a sense of "giving back." However, overseas volunteering can be truly meaningful in this area. People in foreign cultures understand that you might be giving up numerous creature comforts to help them out. 37 .‎ New Language Skills ‎ Overseas volunteers may not only learn a new language during their stay, they may also come to appreciate their native tongue all the more. Total being involved in the ‎ culture will require at least a conversational grasp of the language. Often, English speakers are called upon to teach English as a second language, which requires relearning oft-forgotten rules of grammar and usage. 38 .‎ Better Manners If the expression "ugly American" rings a bell, know that overseas volunteering is an excellent cure for that particular problem. 39 . The lessons may lead to the volunteer thinking twice about how their behavior appears to others in daily life.‎ ‎40 ‎ Going to a foreign country for a volunteer experience is a huge boost (帮助) on a resume. Employers love to see a person that can think outside the box and work past their comfort zone. The added benefits of teamwork, foreign language knowledge, and plain old hard work also add polish (品味) to the volunteer candidate. Since business now happens on a global scale, the volunteer is armed with useful, and potentially actionable, information.‎ A. Professional Benefits B. An expanded appreciation of different traditions.‎ C. By experiencing day-to-day existence in an area of need.‎ D. Because of this, the act of giving is even more touching and deep. ‎ E. This repeat education can lead to better English skills in the long run.‎ F. Volunteers many taste fruits, plants and meats they’ve never experienced before.‎ G. Volunteers receive a thorough education about movement, gestures, and conversation. ‎ 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ Last year, I received an e-mail from my dad, under a subject line: “Mystery creature?” There was no body text, but 41 was a ten-second video, shot in the dead of night.
