We weren't. The only true family vacation we took when I was a kid, was when my parents packed up my brother and I and drove from Maine to Florida. I was 4-year-old and when I try to think back on this time, only vague (模糊的) photos surface.‎ Though our spring breaks were not filled with trips to Disney, I do credit（归功于） the women in my family with inspiring my love for travel.‎ Sometime after the Florida trip, my mother and her mother (Nana), took my brother and me to Arizona. Again, this trip has little influence on my memory.‎ Way before cellphones existed, somehow, Nana and I got separated from my mom and brother. We searched a bit but couldn't find them.‎ So we did what anyone would do when pressed for time and, actually lost: We got ice cream. I'm not sure if it was because of the ice cream, but at that point, any fear I had died down. My mom remembers finding "someone in a fancy jacket" and having us called, but Nana and I didn't hear it over the passing chatter and shoes clicking (发出咔哒声) against the floor. Or again, maybe it was because of the ice cream. By chance, as Nana and I stood there eating our ice cream, the responsible members of our party found us.‎ Nana hardly ever traveled; she didn't have the traveler's instinct (本能) that comes with navigating crowds. My mom wasn't happy when she happened upon us; actually, she was really frightened. Now, we laugh at the memory as if there was never any backlash (激烈反应) of "what-if."‎ ‎21.What does the author think of her trip to Florida?‎ A. It cost her a lot.‎ B. It made her exhausted.‎ C. It brings her sweet memories.‎ D. It leaves little impression on her.‎ ‎22. What can we learn about the author?‎ A. She loves traveling because of her mum and Nana.‎ B. She enjoys ice cream better than anything else.‎ C. She has traveled to many places.‎ D. She has a terrible memory.‎ ‎23.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The mother was excited to find her mother and daughter.‎ B. The author could have found her way back easily.‎ C. The grandmother had a good sense of direction.‎ D. The family argued about the separation.‎ B What's the hottest topic in your country? Whaling (捕鲸) is one topic that's been dividing nations for many years now.‎ By the 1940s, more than 30,000 whales were being caught worldwide every year. Oil from whales lit the lights of major cities in the US and Europe, and whale oil was used to make soaps, paint and even the glaze on photographs.‎ In order to manage the development of the global whaling industry, the International Whaling Commission (TWC) was formed in 1946. However, in 1986, the IWC decided to ban whaling. The biggest concern was the huge decrease in whale populations across the planet. Indeed many people say that it came too late and that commercial (商业的) whaling has already resulted in many animals dying out. According to Greenpeace, sei whales and fin whales are listed as "endangered animals".‎ But there are many other good reasons to fight against whaling. Whales are very intelligent animals. They have social networks very similar to those of humans. On top of that, whaling is also a cruel industry.‎ Still, some countries continue to hunt whales. Japan hunts more than 1,000 whales a year — all of them are caught as part of a supposed "scientific research" programme run by the Japanese Institute of Cetacean Research. Many people argue that this "research" is nothing more than a front for commercial whaling. The situation was not helped in 2001, when Masayuki Komatsu from the Japanese Fisheries Agency described minke whales as the "cockroaches (蟑螂) of the sea" in an interview.‎ Many groups have tried to stop the hunts. The Ady Gil (a ship belonging to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society) was hit by a whaling ship. The Ady Gil later sank. At present, the world is fairly divided on the topic with Iceland, Japan and Norway on the pro-whaling side, and the US, Australia, New Zealand and the EU on the anti-whaling side. Asked recently to give a number between one and ten to show how difficult his job was, Dr Simon Brockington, the chairman of the IWC, said "about a twelve"!‎ ‎24.What fact is presented in the second paragraph?‎ A. Whale oil was of no use.‎ B. Whaling was once a big industry.‎ C. Few whales were killed by humans.‎ D. The US was the biggest whaling country.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. A concern.‎ B. A suggestion.‎ C. The global ban on whaling.‎ D. The endangered animals list.‎ ‎26.What did Brockington think of anti-whaling?‎ A. It was effective.‎ B. It was not realistic.‎ C. It was a dangerous attempt.‎ D. It was difficult to carry out.‎ C I remember my teen years when all I wanted was to put on weight. Growing up, I was always on the thinner side and try as I could, I never seemed to put on the kilos. I would admire the chubbier (丰满的) girls and wished to be like them.‎ Now I realize I had weighed my self-worth on how I looked. I had also sent out a message saying that I wasn't good enough because of my body size, not realizing that we train others how to treat us.‎ Today, I'm comfortable in my skin, and I have learnt the art of self-love. And yes, I did put on the kilos years later after childbirth, but I lost them at the gym, and I' m happy with myself.‎ This got me thinking about the number of people today who want to look like someone else. They look in the mirror and don't like what they see. They are always in search of a different self.‎ Learn to fall in love with yourself. Learn to value yourself. If you do not like something about yourself, why not work out to get to your ideal (理想的) body type? This not only increases your confidence, but you no longer have to wear those ugly tops to hide your stomach. Invest (投资) in self-improvement courses if you have to.‎ Learn to say NO. You do not have to present yourself for every party or appointment. Give yourself space to breathe. As women, we are taught to take care of everyone else but ourselves. We get worn out raising our families and balancing our private lives with our careers, and rarely have time for ourselves. At the end of the day, we are so exhausted; everyone else is happy but us. When you are tired, take enough time to rest. Remember, you cannot pour out of an empty cup. Every so often, take time to refill your cup.‎ 27. What worried the author when she was a teenager?‎ A. She put on weight easily.‎ B. She was laughed at by others.‎ C. She found it hard to make friends.‎ D. She was unsatisfied with her body.‎ ‎28. What does the author think of her thoughts as a teenager?‎ A. Deep.‎ B. Puzzling.‎ C. Creative.‎ D. Ridiculous.‎ ‎29. What should people do if they are really unsatisfied with themselves in the author's opinion?‎ A. Model themselves on others.‎ B. Improve themselves if necessary.‎ C. Accept what they are and be themselves.‎ D. Compare themselves with other people.‎ ‎30. What's the author's advice to women?‎ A. Saying no to parties.‎ B. Balancing life and work.‎ C. Learning to love themselves.‎ D. Taking good care of their family.‎ 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。‎ Business etiquette in Singapore Be polite, professional and patient at all times. This leads to good relationships which you will need in order to do business in Singapore.‎ ‎ 31 And there are rules of etiquette (礼节) that you must follow. Status (地位) is very important, and the eldest person in the group is always respected.‎ You will need to plan ahead. 32 Nowadays appointments can be made by phone or email, although writing to the person concerned is the most formal way to organize a meeting. Many businesses close during Chinese New Year. 33 ‎ Make sure you arrive on time for business meetings. This is a matter of respect. If you are going as a group, make sure you are lined up according to your status. Likewise, wait to be seated.‎ ‎ 34 Only use personal names or nicknames (呢称) when you are invited to do so, or when you have known someone for a long time.‎ Business cards are exchanged at the beginning of meetings and are always handed out so that the writing faces the receiver. Etiquette demands that you hold the card with both hands and examine it carefully; before putting the card into your card case, smile in order to show that you have noted who the other person is. 35 Make sure your own business cards are in perfect condition before you hand them out.‎ A. This is a form of respect to that person.‎ B. Bear in mind that business is done very formally in Singapore.‎ C. Therefore, there is no point in even trying to fix a meeting at this time.‎ D. Before business discussions begin, there is often a period of small talk.‎ E. As a sign of respect, Singaporeans don't always look people in the eye.‎ F. Whenever possible, appointments should be made at least two weeks in advance.‎ G. When meeting someone in formal meetings, always use the person's title and family name.‎ 第三部分 语言运用(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A, B, C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Last year I decided to tell my family that I didn't want or need anything for my 36 ,but I wanted them to think of a way to share a 37 in their world -for me.
