第2题：
Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
1.Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.
A、 America is a highly developed country
B、 American city people seem to be always in a rush
C、 the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble
D、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people
2.When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means ___________.
A、 you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happy
B、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you
C、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly
D、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor
3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.
A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city
B、 people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable
C、 most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities
D、 those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly
4.The life pace in cities is much ___________ than the one outside cities.
A、 faster
B、 slower
C、 happier
D、 sadder
5.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________.
A、 offer his help
B、 stop smiling at you
C、 help you find the way
D、 reply that he is pleased to meet you

第3题：
Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET I. (40 points)
Text 1
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "And Paul—why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it' s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog?" There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that the doesn't think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for," is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven' t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice?
His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.
21. This passage is mainly about______.
A) how to interpret what people say
B) what to do when you listen to others talking
C) how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D) why we go wrong with people sometimes

第4题：
A
You may not realize it，but you are doing much more than just studying，when you are at school． School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people． But this is not al-ways easy． What can you do if you just don-t like one of your classmates? If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容)． Tolerance is the ability(能/J ) to realize and respect(尊重) the differences in others． We can not change the way that other people do，so it is important to learn to live happily with them．
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other． Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently． Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad． Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind ．
You need to remember an old saying，"Treat others how you want to be treated"． You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates，so it is important to treat them kindly too．
If you tolerate(宽容) something，it does not mean that you have to like it． No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in． Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change．
It is important to practice tolerance，because it will make everyone's lives easier． Learn to accept(接受) people for their different abilities and interests． The world is very different，and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help you make a difference．

第二篇
Harmless Revenge
Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys.People don't like to talk about it,though.Just the
same,there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge.The purpose is not to harm your vic-
tims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you.Careful plotting can
provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers,gossiping friends,or nagging family members.
Co-workers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be
taken care of very simply.All you have to do is get up extra early one day.Before the sun comes up,drive
to each coworker's house.Reach under the hood of your coworker's car and disconnect the center wire that
leads to the distributor cap,the car will be unharmed,but it will not start,and your friends at work will all
be late for work on the same day.If you're lucky,your boss might notice that you are the only one there and
will give you a raise.
Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge.A way to trap either male
or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers.If the friend that you want to get is male,leave
a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day.With any luck,her boyfriend
will be there.The girl won't know what's going on,and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably
won't leave his home for a month.
When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you,harmless revenge may be
just the way to make them quiet down for a while.The dinner table is a likely place.Just before the meal
begins,throw a handful of raisins into the food.Wait about five minutes and,after everyone has begun to
eat,cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises.When they ask you what the matter is,
point to a raisin and yell,"Bugs!"They dump their food in the disposal,jump into the car,and head for
McDonald'a.That night,you'll have your first quiet,peaceful meal in a long time.
A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone.The object is simply to let other people know that
they are beginning to bother you.As a harmless revenge,you might come first and get a raise by________.
A:making your colleagues come late
B:getting up earlier than your colleagues
C:destroying your colleagues' cars
D:pleasing your boss答案：A解析：由文章第一段和最后一段可知，无恶意的报复行为是为了让你的报复对象知道他们打 扰到你了。B项：对打扰你的人采取行动是正确的。
由文章第二段可知，在某一天早上早起，开车到每一位同事的家门前，不用毁坏他们的 车子但要使车子都发动不了。这样当你的老板发现只有你一个人没有迟到时就会给你加薪。 故选A。
由文章第三段最后一句话可知，女孩对此一无所知。
由文章倒数第二段可知，要想摆脱唠叨的家人，可以在晚饭前丢一把葡萄干到食物里， 然后在开饭时指着葡萄干对他们说：“有虫子！”由此可知，家人们随后倒掉食物是因为A项： 他们误认为食物被糟蹋了。
本文的主旨是C项：进行无恶意的报复。 -
第6题：
Five Ways to Win Over Everyone in the Office Is it possible to like everyone in your office?Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people,much less 50,who all get along perfectly.But unlike in friendships,you need coworkers.You work with them every day and you depend on them just as they depend on you.Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side 41.____If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace,you may try stay tight-lipped around them.But you won't be helping either one of you.A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were frank about themselves more highly,while those who hid lost trustworthiness.The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book,but rather,when given the option to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal them,you should just be honest.42._____Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others.We often feel the need to tell others how we feel,whether it's a concern about a project,a stray thought,or a compliment.Those are all valid,but you need to take time to hear out your coworkers,too.In fact,rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don't value their opinions.Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine,back-and-forth conversation,rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.43._____It's common to have a“cubicle mate"or special confidant in a work setting.But in addition to those trusted coworkers,you should expand your horizons and find out about all the people around you.Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don't always see.Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job.It requires minimal effort and goes a long way.This will help to gTow your internal network,in addition to being a nice break in the work day.44._____Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear.And you don't have to be someone's boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project.This will help engender good will in others.But don't overdo it or be fake about it.One study found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive,possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over.45.______This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off,but it can go a long way to achieving results.Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction.Watch out for how they verbalize with others.Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters,while other are more straightforward.Jokes that work one person won't necessarily land with another,So,adapt your style accordingly to type.Consider the person that you re dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.44选？A.Give compliments,just not too many.
B.Put on a good face,always.
C.Tailor your interactions.
D.Spend time with everyone.
E.Reveal,don't hide,information.
F.Slow down and listen.
G.Put yourselves in others'shoes.答案：A解析：解析：根据段落转折句，“但是不要过度去做或者做假。应该做的内容就在下句，“一个研究发现，人们对于从负面到正面的评价反应最好，也许因为这个评价表明他们有比其他人做得好。因此这就是要称赞，但是不能太多。 -
第7题：
Five ways to make conversation with anyone Conversations are links,which means when you have a conversation with a new person a link gets formed and every conversation you have after that moment will strengthen the link.You meet new people every day:the grocery worker,the cab driver,new people at work or the security guard at the door.Simply starting a conversation with them will form a link.Here are five simple ways that you can make the first move and start a conversation with strangers.41.____________Suppose you are in a room with someone you don’t know and something within you says“I want to talk with this person”—this is something the mostly happens with all of us.You wanted to say something—the first word—but it just won’t come out.It feels like it is stuck somewhere,I know the feeling and here is my advice just get it out.Just think:that is the worst that could happen?They won’t talk with you?Well,they are not talking with you now!I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow.So keep it simple:“Hi”,“Hey”or“Hello”—do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can,put on a big smile and say“Hi”。42.____________It’s a problem all of us face:you have limited time with the person that you want to talk with and you want to make this talk memorable.Honestly,if we got stuck in the rut of“hi”,“hello”,“how are you?”and“what’s going on?”you will fail to give the initial jolt to the conversation that’s can make it so memorable.So don’t be afraid to ask more personal questions.Trust me,you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask.43.____________When you meet a person for the first time,make an effort to find the things which you and that person have in common so that you can build the conversation from that point.When you start conversation from there and then move outwards,you’ll find all of a sudden that the conversation becomes a lot easier.44.____________Imagine you are pouring your heart out to someone and they are just busy on their phone,and if you ask for their attention you get the response“I can multitask”.So when someone tries to communicate with you,just be in that communication wholeheartedly.Make eye contact,you can feel the conversation.45.____________You all came into a conversation where you first met the person,but after some time you may have met again and have forgotten their name.Isn’t that awkward!So remember the little details of the people you met or you talked with;perhaps the places they have been to the place they want to go,the things they like,the thing the hate—whatever you talk about.When you remember such thing you can automatically become investor in their wellbeing.So the feel a responsibility to you to keep that relationship going.That’s it.Five amazing ways that you can make conversation with almost anyone.Every person is a really good book to read,or to have a conversation with!45选？A.Just say it
B.Be present
C.Pay a unique compliment
D.Name,places,things
E.Find the“me too”s
F.Skip the small talk
G.Ask for an opinion答案：E解析：第一句话就提到了忘记只见过一面的人的名字“name”。“So”后面又提到回忆地点“places”和好恶的事情“things”等细节，所以选E：Name，places，things -

问答题Practice 8Directions: You are asked to write a composition in about 150 words and you should base your composition on the information given in English below: Some people criticize the students who invited their friends to dinners when they got their scholarship. They say that students should save scholarships for future studies, not just invite friend to dinners. 1. Do you agree with the people? 2. Give at least two reasons to support your idea.正确答案：
【参考范文】
Scholarships Can Be Used for Fun I don’t agree with those who holds that the scholarships should be saved for future studies, since spending scholarship having fun with friend is also a good choice.
Firstly by going to dinner together you can enjoy some happy time with your friends. The enlarged enrollment of university students results in fierce stresses and competition. Every day we students are driven to struggle for a happy and bright future like industrious donkeys and consequently have little time to enjoy the gentle perfume of friendship. But we are all human beings. We need not only successes in study, but also emotional contacts. How to satisfy this need? A little get-together of friends will do. Communication and mutual understanding can be derived from eating and drinking. So spending scholarships on dinner is not a bad idea.
Secondly, having fun with your friends can reduce the stress that most college students encounter. College life is competitive and stressful, so many student suffer from sleeping or eating disorders. When you have dinner with your friends, you laugh, chat and get nutrients at the same time. It is good for both your mental and physical health, so why not do it?
In a word, friendship and health are more important than money. So I will choose the former.解析： 暂无解析 -

One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are Unconscious in sleep,We do not know what is going on around us.But that do.esn′t mean the body stops all activity.The important organs continue to work during sleep,but most of the body functions are slowed down.
For example,our breathing becomes slower and deeper.The heart beats more slowly,and the blood pressure is lower.Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的)and muscles are at rest.It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake.So sleep does for us what the?most quiet rest can not do.
Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep,which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers.And even though you are unconscious,many of your reflexes(反射动作)still work.For instance,if someone tickles(使觉得痒)your foot,you will put it away in your sleep,or even brush a fly from your forehead.You do these things without knowing it.
The cells of your body develop supplies of energy__________A.when you are asleep
B.when you recover from your work of the day
C.in the next period of activity
D.when you are quiet答案：A解析：【考情点拨】事实细节题。【应试指导】文章第二段最后一句指出，睡眠时是身体的细胞从整天的忙碌中恢复并为下一个阶段的活动增加能量供应的时间。故选A。 -
第18题：
Five Ways to Show Emotional Intelligence In a Job Interview The World Economic Forum,in its Future of Job Report,has indicated that Emotional Intelligence will be number six of the top ten job skills required by 2020.Awareness of this in organizations has greatly increased interest in hiring people with high emotional intelligence as well as boosting emotional intelligence amongst existing staff.Here are five ways to demonstrate emotional intelligence in a job interview:41.Take a cue from professional athletes when they are interviewed after a win or achievement.They always credit their team mates,their team,rather than taking personal accolades.When asked about a project that you are proud of,or that was successful!be sure to share credit with the team,unit and others that were involved in the project.Make it clear that you are proud to be a member of the group that was involved in the success.This gives more credibility to you being a team player than if you simply claim that you are;which everyone does.42.The typical answer that we were told in the past was to talk about something that is actually a strength.For example,claiming to be a perfectionist,or becoming too involved in your job,which can be seen as strengths by an employer.These answers do not cut it anymore,as interviewers are looking for something more substantial.When disclosing a flaw,be sure to indicate what you are actively doing to work on this and give examples of making progress.Interviewers know that we all have weaknesses and suspect that we may try to hide those in the interview.As long as your shortcoming does not raise any red flags,being honest,open and genuine will help gain their trust and respect.43 For this question,raiher than only focusing on your qualifications or technical ability,talk about your ability ro work well wiih others in a teamwork setting.Your ability to adapt to change,setbacks and work well with co-workers and customers is important to bring up.Instead of simply mentioning these things,be prepared to come up with examples of when you had to use those skills.Perhaps there was conflict within your unit,or you had to deal with a furious customer.Talk about how you used your soft skills to effectively deal with these situations.44.The worst thing you can do in this case is to blame others for the situation.State what happened but avoid casting blame.What the interviewer wants to know is how you reacted and if you did anything to improve the situation.ir asked what your part in it was,be prepared to accept your share of the responsibility but speak in terms of what you would've done differently looking back on the situation.Interviewers expect people to make mistakes,but wam to know if you are someone who learns from their mistakes and takes away the lesson.45.At the end of an interview,we are typically asked if we have any questions.Ask questions about the culture,values of an organization and what it takes for people to be successful in it.Bring up any positive experiences with people in their organization or their customers you have had in the past and your observations.It will show that you are not only interested in a job but are looking to see how you will fit into the company,42选？A.Are You a Team Player?
B.What Did You Do When Things Went Off the Rails?
C.What Are You Most Proud Of?
D.What Are Your Strengths?
E.What Questions Do You Have For Me?
F.What Are Your Weaknesses?
G.How Would You Deal With a Furious Customer?答案：F解析：本段首先举例指出“似贬实褒，借短说长”的典型做法不再有效，随后建议求职者应诚实坦露缺点，并着重说明自己如何努力改正缺点以及取得了何种进步。综合可知，本段针对“求职者如何谈论自身缺点”提议，[F]“你的缺点是什么？”与之相符，weaknesses在本段复现，且与flaw、shortcoming同义。[解题技巧]D.中.strengths在本段复现．形成干扰，但本段以已经过Ht的典型套路“谈论实为优点的所谓’缺点”’引出谈论缺点的正确方式，段落重点实为“缺点”，D.偏离段意重点。 -

Three Ways to Become More Creative
Most people believe they don't have much imagination.They are wrong. Everyone has imagination,but
most of us,once we become adults,forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works
of art or ideas.People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems.Maybe
you have a goal to achieve,a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind!Here are three
techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.First,think about
the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image,word,idea or object,for exam-
pie,a candle.Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles:light,fire,matches,wax,night,silence,
etc.Think of as many as you can?The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do?So imagine
you want to buy a friend an original present,you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the
night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money,etc.as you want.
Think about your goal and the new possibilities.If,for example,your goal is to learn to ski,you can now prac-
tice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money).Now adapt this to reality.May-
be you can practice skiing every day in December,or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators（谈判者）use this technique in business;
and so do writers.Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books.They ask questions:
what does this character want?Why can't she get it?What changes must she make to get what she wants?
What does she dream about?If your goal involves other people,put yourself" in their shoes".The best fisher-
men think like fish!The second technique suggests that you just imagine _______________.
A:setting a goal is as simple as skiing
B:you have every resource to achieve your goal
C:new possibilities will soon appear
D:December and January are the best months for skiing答案：C解析：由第一段第二句“They are wrong”可知，成年人也有想象力，且由该段最后一句中的“.help you”可知，成年人可以学习发挥想象力。
由第二段第四句“Write down all the ideas/words associated with...”可知选C。
由第三段第三句“Think about your goal and the new possibilities”可知选C。
put yourself in sb's shoes是固定搭配，意为“设身处地”，故选D。
第三个技巧是：设身处地地站在别人的角度上看问题。故销售员应考虑顾客所需的。 -

问答题Directions: You are asked to write a composition in about 160 words and you should base your composition on the information given in English below: Some people criticize the students who invited their friends to dinners when they got their scholarship. They say that students should save scholarships for future studies, not just invite friend to dinners.1. Do you agree with the people? 2. Give at least two reasons to support you idea.正确答案：
Scholarships Can Be Used for Fun I don't agree with the people, because I think spending scholarship having fun with friend is also a good choice.
Firstly by going to dinner together you can enjoy some happy time with your friends. The enlarged enrollment of university students results in fierce stresses and competition. Every day we students are driven to struggle for a happy and bright future like industrious donkeys and consequently have little time to enjoy the gentle perfume of friendship. But we are all human beings. We need not only successes in study, but also emotional contacts. How to satisfy this need? A little get-together of friends will do. Communication and mutual understanding can originate from eating and drinking. So spending scholarships on dinner is not a bad idea.
Secondly, having fun with your friends can reduce the stress that most college students encounter. College life is competitive and stressful, so many student suffer from sleeping or eating disorders. When you have dinner with your friends, you laugh, chat and add nutrients at the same time. It is good for both of your mental and physical health, so why not do it.
In a word, friendship and health is more important than money. So I will choose the former.解析： 暂无解析 -
