She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge. “Could he help in the library?” She asked. I said. “Send him along.”‎ Soon a slight, sandy-haired boy in jeans and a T-shift appeared. “Do you have a job for me?” he asked.‎ I told him about the Dewey Decimal System for shelving books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him a stack of cards for long-overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards iii them. He said. “Is it kind of a detective job?” I answered yes, and he became working.‎ He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced. “Time for break!” He argued for finishing the finding job; She made the case for fresh air. She won.‎ The next morning, he arrived early. “I want to finish these books,” he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to be a librarian on a regular basis, it was easy to say yes. He worked untiringly.‎ After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy’s home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother announced that the family would be moving to neighbouring school district. Her son’s first concern, she said, was leaving the View Ridge library. “Who will find the lost books?” he asked.‎ When the time came, I said a reluctant good-bye. I missed him, but not for long. A few days later he came back and joyfully announced: “The librarian over there doesn’t let boys work in the library. My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge. My dad will drop me off on his way to work. And if he can’t, I’ll walk!”‎ I should have had an inkling (感觉) such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go. What I could not have guessed, however, was that he would become a wizard of the Information Age: Bill Gates, tycoon of Microsoft and America’s richest man.‎ ‎21. What was the author when the story happened?‎ A. A teacher. B. A librarian. C. A detective. D. A professor.‎ ‎22. What was the boy told to do oil his first day in the library?‎ A. To rearrange the books according to the new system.‎ B. To put those overdue books back to the shelves.‎ C. To find out the books with wrong cards m them.‎ D. To put the cards back in the long-overdue books.‎ ‎23. The boy got transferred back to View Ridge because .‎ A. he did not like his life in the new school B. the transportation there was not convenient C. he missed his old schoolmates and teachers D. he was not allowed to work in the school library ‎24. What impressed the author most was that the boy .‎ A. had a thirst for learning B. had a strong will C. was extremely quick at learning D. had a kind heart B It’s surprising how much simple movement of the body can affect the way we think. Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful, crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights (领悟).‎ So if moving the body can have these effects, what about the clothes we wear? We’ve all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive, sporty or professional, depending on the clothes we wear, but can the clothes actually change cognitive ‎ (认知) performance or is it just a feeling?‎ Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people’s powers of attention. The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists, who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail.‎ What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren’t. Indeed, they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test (one way of measuing attention). The reserchrs call the effect “enclothed cognition.” suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition hi many differnt ways.‎ This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments. Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the restaurant food taste better?‎ From now on I will only be editing artcles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low. Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown (学位服).‎ ‎25. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Body movements change the way people think.‎ B. How people dress has an influencee on their feelings.‎ C. What people wear can affect their cognitive performance.‎ D. People doing different jobs should wear different clothes.‎ ‎26. Adam and Galinsky’s experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearer’ .‎ A. insights B. movements C. attention D. appearance ‎27. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?‎ A. Academic. B. Humorous. C. Formal. D. Hopeful.‎ C Have you ever been to the tiny Welsh village‎ of ‎Hay-on-Wye, situated on the River Wye on the Welsh-English border. In the distance, it looks like any other small European town. But Hay-on-Wye has a delightful quirk that sets it apart from other small towns. It’s home to 1,400‎ ‎ people and hundreds of thousands of books, making it the largest center for secondhand books in the entire world.‎ You won’t find a Barnes and Noble in Hay-on-Wye, but what you will find is over 30 charming, cozy secondhand bookshops rich with the smell of old books. (By the way, there’s a scientific reason you love that smell.) There’s a bookstore specializing in out-of-print children、books. A shop called “Murder and Mayhem” sells mainly crime and detective literature. And one outdoor bookshop, the Hay Castle Bookshop, is built around the walls of — you guessed it — a castle. How could a book lover possibly ask for anything more? (Though this is a Welsh town, it would be very easy to develop this Japanese literary habit here.)‎ One of the town’s most unique features is its “honesty bookshops.” These are basically just bookshelves fitting out in the Open, without a cashier or employee to speak of. A. sign announces the prices of the books (which are often less than one U. S. dollar), and a collection box for money sits nearby. Customers are misted to pay, on their honor. There are no security cameras or anything: just good old-fashioned trust.‎ Apart from being a popular tourist destination for literary fanatics throughout the entire year, Hay-on-Wye also throws a literary festival each year at the end of May. Bookworms from all over the world flock to this tiny village to hear famous writers speak, attend book signings, and, of couurse, stock up on reading material. And there’s plenty for the kids to do (and read) too! Here, your child grows up loving to read.‎ ‎28. What can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A small town with more books than people.‎ B. Honest people in a British town.‎ C. The most unique bookshops in the world.‎ D. Bookshops — a good place for tired travelers.‎ ‎29. Which of the following can take the place of the underlined word ‘‘quirk” in the first paragraph?‎ A. atmosphere B. situation C. view D. feature ‎30. The small town has the following features except .‎ A. It’s the largest center for secondhand books.‎ B. The bookshops there are in the Japanese style, with no security cameras.‎ C. There is a literary festival each year for book-lovers throughout the world.‎ D. Customers to the honesty bookshops help themselves buying books.‎ ‎31. In which column of a magazine can you probably find the passage?‎ A. Finance B. Fashion C. Travel D. Health D According to a latest research, shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money. Penny pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidi rather than luxury alternatives.‎ This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market iii the UK. It has shrunk from £ 1.19 billion in 2011 to £ 1.12 billion in 2015, according to a new report from marker research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £ 1.11 billion in 2016.‎ In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £ 43 in 2014 to £ 41 in 2015.‎ Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper, including facial tissue and kitchen roll, to save money. ‘‘Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small pan of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume.” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “These extra feanu.es are considered unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.”‎ While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain particular about this product, in theory at least, when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).‎ One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufactures, 81% of paper product users said they would ‎ consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.‎ ‎32. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because .‎ A. Britons have cut their spending on it.‎ B. its prices have gone up over the years.‎ C. its quality has seen marked improvement.‎ D. Britons have developed the habit of saving.‎ ‎33. What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper marker in the UK?‎ A. It will expand in time.‎ B. It will continue the tendency of decrease.‎ C. It will experience ups and downs.‎ D. It will recover as population grows.‎ ‎34. What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?‎ A. Special offers would promote its sales.‎ B. Consumers are loyal to certain brands.‎ C. Luxurious features add much to the price.‎ D. Consumers have a variety to choose from.‎ ‎35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.‎ B. Toilet paper producers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.‎ C. Toilet paper producers compete with one another to improve product quality.‎ D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.‎ 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。‎ How to be a good conversationalist?‎ According to a Pew Research study of 10,000 American adults, we are more divided and less likely to compromise than ever before. 36 In today’s education, conversational competence might be one of the most overlooked skills school fails to teach. Generally speaking, a conversation requires a balance between talking and listening, and somewhere along, the way we lose that balance. Then how to find the balance and have a better conversation, here are ‎ some tips for you.‎ Don’t multitask. 37 Just be present. Be in that moment. Don’t think about the argument you had with your partner. Don’t think about what you are going to have for dinner. If you get out of the conversation, don’t be half in it and half out of it.‎ Use open-ended conversations. 38 If you put in a simple question, you are going to get a simple answer out. Instead of asking ‘‘Were you terrified?”, you ask “what was that like?” or ‘‘How did that feel?” Because people then might have to stop for a moment and think about it and you are going to get a much more interesting response.‎ Listen. Listening is perhaps the most, the number one most important skill that you could develop. 39 and sometimes that means setting aside your personal opinion. But most people don’t listen with the intent to understand but with the intent to reply.‎ ‎ 40 A good conversation is like a miniskirt, short enough to hold interest, but long enough to cover the subject.‎ In conclusion, to become a better conversationalist, you need to enter every conversation, listening attentively and assuming that you have something to learn.‎ A. Be brief.‎ B. Look the person in the eye.‎ C. You need to let them come and let them go.‎ D. The true listening requires a setting aside of yourself.‎ E. Start your questions with who, when, what, where, why, or how.‎ F. Much of this is because we are not listening to each other in our conversation.‎ G. That doesn’t mean you set down your cell phone or book or whatever in your hand.‎ 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I don’t know why I came to the decision to become a loser, but I know I made the choice at a young age.
