第二部分閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳答案，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
When travelling abroad, your safest bet is to limit gestures as much as possible. However, you may find that your gestures happen out of habit. Understanding appropriate gestures of the country you’re visiting may prevent you from communicating the wrong message. In North America, eye contact communicates to the speaker that you’re interested and listening. In Asia, people look away to concentrate on what the speaker is saying. Taking the time to get yourself familiar with the gestures of the country you’re visiting will help you connect with the people of the foreign environment.
Gestures in Brazil
Much like the Italian culture, a Brazilian snaps his fingers(打響指)and uses exaggerated(夸張的)hand movements when stressing a statement. The sense of warmth and friendliness with each other is shown through the gesture of eye contact when communicating and standing close together in lineups or when talking to each other. Communicating a greeting is more than the gesture of a handshake, but also involves the touch of the forearm.
Gestures in China
China is affected by Confucius’ way of thinking, which is reflected through its reserved culture. You communicate a greeting in China with the gesture of a slight nod and bow. To communicate respect, you keep your head lowered. In China, the gesture of standing close during a conversation prevents having to communicate with a raised voice. A person will communicate his surprise during a conversation with the gesture of breathing in air loudly, rather than a loud outburst.
Gestures in Russia
Gestures considered common to Americans may be considered rude in Russia. The American gesture to communicate “okay”, with the forefinger and thumb touching and three fingers up, is considered rude in Russia. Looking at your watch is a rude gesture communicating impatience. Russians also feel upset about the gesture of communicating directions by pointing.
Gestures in India
Gestures used in India represent its traditional culture. In India, the gesture of holding out the hand to communicate giving or receiving must be done with the right hand as a person in India uses his left hand for washing. The gesture of communicating respect at a religious ceremony is done by removing your shoes. The proper way of communicating direction is to use either the whole hand or by using your chin. The proper form of communicating a greeting is to press the palms(手掌)together with fingers upward and say, “Namaste”.
21. In China people stand close while talking to ________.
A. avoid a loud voice B. show their surprise
C. exchange greetings D. express their respect
22. Which of the following is considered bad manners in India?
A. Receiving gifts with the left hand.
B. Using the whole hand to show the way.
C. Removing shoes at religious ceremonies.
D. Pressing the palms together upward while greeting.
23. In which country is looking at the watch considered impolite during communication ?
A. Brazil. B. Russia. C. India. D. China.
24. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. some traveling tips for visitors B. the advantages of using body language
C. some gestures in communication D. the comparison between different cultures
B
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’ t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves .If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor.If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice.If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities.Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image.When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.Good luck!
25.You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.
A.dare to challenge yourself B.feel it hard to change yourself
C.are unconfident about yourself D.have a high opinion of yourself
26.According to the passage, our serf-images _________.
A.have positive effects B.are probably untrue
C.are often changeable D.have different functions
27.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?
A.To keep a different image of others. B.To make your life successful.
C.To understand your own world. D.To change the way you think.
28.What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to prepare for your success. B.How to face challenges in your life.
C.How to build a positive self-image. D.How to develop your good qualities.

Evidence of violent storms that destroyed a lost town known as Britain’s Atlantis has been uncovered. The finds were uncovered off the coast of Dunwich, Suffolk - a small village which in the 11th Century was one of the largest towns in England.
The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea. Researchers said sediment(沉積物) gathered from the cliffs independently proved the historical record.
“They were like the south coast storms of 2013, at least once a year for decades,” Professor David Sear, of the University of Southampton said.
The three-year research off Dunwich has been funded by Touching the Tide, a £900,000 Heritage Lottery Fund plan to explore the changing Suffolk coast.
A diver used ultrasound(超聲波) to “illuminate” findings on the seabed, and the marshes(沼澤) and eroding cliffs were surveyed. “It offers a marvelous history of climate change and coastal erosion,” said Prof Sear with regards to the findings.
In the 11th Century, Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England, but now has about 120 residents. Two great storms in 1286 and 1326 resulted in the loss of its harbour and started its decline. Prof Sear said analysis showed how “people gave up on Dunwich” after 1338, when another great storm choked up the port for good, and food production declined. Sediment gathered from the cliffs, he said, “independently confirmed the sequences of storms recorded in the historical record”.
The underwater research has been carried out using acoustic(聲學(xué)的) imaging technology, and has unearthed a series of buildings. We found the ruins of about four churches and we’ve also found ruins of what we think was a toll house. We’ve also found shipwrecks(沉船), which no-one’s known before.
A dig in 2015 discovered evidence of Dunwich’s prehistoric origins, as well as evidence it was “a substantial Saxon port, prior to its rapid growth following the Norman invasion”.
Bill Jenman, from Touching the Tide, said: “We found loads of pottery, a lot more than we’ve found before, so sort of High Medieval - the peak of the wealth of Dunwich. We know it was a fairly major town in the Anglo-Saxon period.”
29. Evidence shows that Dunwich declined in history due to ______.
A. the rise of sea level B. sediment from the cliffs
C. the Norman invasion D. a series of storms
30. What can be learned from the text about Dunwich’s present condition?
A. It is completely below the sea B. It still exists with about 120 residents.
C. It is still hit by storms every year. D. It is still an important port in England
31. With the help of modern equipment, the researchers have found all the following things underwater EXCEPT_____.
A. shipwrecks unknown before
B. ruins of churches and other buildings
C. the seabed that was like a busy harbour
D. lots of pottery dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period
32. From the discoveries, we can conclude that______.
A. Dunwich was thoroughly ruined by the Norman invaders
B. no one believed those ships could have sink at Dunwich
C. Dunwich was a prosperous town before its decline
D. no historical records about Dunwich were kept after 1338
D
The term “ lifelong learning” is often used to define the attitude of staying in a learning mode.It is a term that is used loosely and lacks structure,importance,value and support in India.
Many developed countries,for example Canada,have government programmes based on UNESCO guidelines and even offer financial support under Lifelong Learning Plans (LLPs).In the Indian context,learning is often done to earn a degree.We are a degree-oriented country.A hard fact that these degrees are sometimes mere pieces of paper,which do not establish any fact of real learning happening,or that some degrees do not help get a job in today’s times,is still not an accepted reality.The concept of voluntary and continuous learning,whether to enhance professional or personal skills, is still a long shot in India.
The whole idea of lifelong learning recognizes the fact that not all learning needs to be formal,or restricted to student life until the age of 28.It can be a process that is continuous throughout life,based on situations and varied needs.Take the case of a retired professional.She may be interested in fine arts,but wasn’t able to do so in her career.Can’t she then enroll in (登記) a degree programme of fine arts after retirement?Our current system doesn’t quite support such needs of learning, for it doesn’t admit anybody beyond the age of 45.
Another aspect of lifelong learning is “life-deep learning”.It is another word for value education or value-based teaching.In earlier times,there used to be periods in classroom learning called moral science that taught the importance of right versus wrong.
Further,“ life-wide learning” is a term that refers to lateral(橫向的)learning—from experiences and situations different from formal,structured education.
These three concepts—lifelong learning,life-deep learning and life-wide learning—constitute the framework of UNESCO’s recommendation to take education to the next level.
33.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A.Degrees are designed to get a job.B.Canada is also a degree-oriented country.
C.India has a long way to go in “lifelong learning”.D.Lifelong learning doesn’t need money support.
34.Which of the following cannot be used to describe “lifelong learning”?
A. Formal. B. Voluntary. C.Important. D.Continuous.
35.What can we infer from the example of the woman in Paragraph 3?
A.She didn’t do well in her career before retirement.
B.She didn’t become an artist until the age of 45.
C. The elderly lose the right of study in the current system.
D.She gained a chance to study fine arts after retirement.

In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. 36.But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers(制造商).
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. 37. That will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads.The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, 38Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr.David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(裝置) to regulate(調(diào)節(jié)) the distance between one car and another.39.Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010, Dr.David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image(影像)of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. 40. Cars will be connected by an electronic bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”.“The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount of fuel.” says Davis.“ But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”
A.The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.
B.They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.
C.And it will not be owned by one individual.
D.And by 2030, cars will travel in line, linked to each other electronically.
E.So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.
F.Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.
G.The car will automatically speed upor slow downto match the speed of the front car.

Dear Bob,
How’s everything going? In your last letter you were asking about the current situation of the Bike-sharing Program in Chengdu. I’m writing to tell you something about it and share some of my ideas with you.
Undoubtedly, the Bike-sharing Program can bring lots of benefits. To begin with, riding a bike is not only economic but also time-saving, especially when your destination is not far away. What’s more, the program makes contributions to reducing air pollution.
However, there is also some disturbing news connected with it. Some shared-bikes are parked everywhere, making the city roads messy and dangerous. Worse still, some shared-bikes have been damaged, stolen or even burnt.
As far as I’m concerned, as long as people park the bikes in the right places and obey the traffic rules, I’m definitely in favor of such a program. What do you think?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

A
Maximize your holiday budget
When it comes to planning a summer getaway, don’t leave money matters to the last minute. It’s wise to get the money matters in the bag first.
Travel insurance
Leaving your travel insurance to the last moment is potentially the costliest holiday mistake you can make. Travel insurance doesn’t just protect you from illness and theft when you’re away—it starts as soon as you buy it. This comes into use if you find you need to cancel your trip due to things such as illness or the death of a travelling companion. So it makes sense to get this sorted as soon as you make your first booking.
Travel money
The worst place to switch your cash into foreign currency is at the airport or ferry port. You’ll find the poorest exchange rates here as they know you’ve no other options. Buy your money at least a week before you go. The best rates can usually be found from specialist brokers, which are often also better than high-street banks. There are exchange-rate comparison websites such as Travel Money Max, which will let you know what you’ll get at the different locations.
A budget
It might not be the most fun thing to think about, but it’s arguably the most important of them all. Work out how much you can afford to spend when you’re away to avoid any nasty surprises when you get home. It’s helpful to have a daily budget that you adjust up and down if you spend more or less.
56. If you buy travel insurance, you will be compensated ______.
A. when you cancel your trip casually
B. when a tourist guide dies on the way
C. when you are ill before starting a trip
D. when your money is stolen during the trip
57. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. It makes sense to work out a daily budget in advance.
B. You’ll know different locations at Travel Money Max.
C. It costs the least to buy your money in high-street banks.
D. You will experience unpleasant surprises after your trip.
B
New study suggests angler education can benefit sharks
A new study finds fisher education can help protect vulnerable (易受攻擊的) shark populations. The research, led by University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science scientists, showed that recreational anglers (釣魚者) were more supportive of shark management and conservation if they had prior knowledge of shark conservation. “The recreational fishing community has a long history of supporting marine conservation efforts, so there is great value in trying to understand which factors affect their behavior and decision making, especially for threatened species such as sharks,” said Austin Gallagher, UM adjunct assistant professor and lead author of the study.
The researchers interviewed 158 recreational anglers in South Florida about their attitudes towards shark conservation. They found that many catch-and-release anglers recognized that sharks can suffer from post-release mortality (死亡) but it is still an under-appreciated consequence, particularly for species that are born sensitive, such as hammerheads (雙髻鯊). The data also revealed that many recreational anglers are supportive of marine protected areas for threatened shark species, although climate change is a larger perceived threat to sharks than recreational fishing.
“Anglers generally care about shark conservation, but are unaware of some potential threats from recreational fishing and how they can best modify their angling techniques to improve survivorship of released sharks,” said co-author Neil Hammerschlag, research assistant professor at the UM Rosenstiel School and UM Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy.
According to the authors, the findings suggest a need for increased education and outreach on the impacts of catch-and-release angling on sharks to improve survival rates and conservation of threatened sharks.
“Our study identifies important disconnects between existing scientific evidence on the impacts of recreational fishing on certain shark species and existing conservation beliefs among anglers,” said Gallagher. “This is a good starting point for new conversations on sustainability within the fishing community.”
58. According to the passage, we can make anglers play a role in protecting sharks by ______.
A. managing them quite differently
B. providing other recreational activities
C. equipping them with necessary information
D. helping them to make much better decisions
59. More released sharks could have survived ______.
A. if they were sensitive species
B. if they had been angled scientifically
C. if the climate hadn’t changed so much
D. if they stayed out of protected areas
60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Recreational fishing has little effect on protecting sharks.
B. Many recreational anglers are actually for marine conservation.
C. The fishing community will surely gain sustainable development.
D. The fishing community are willing to give up angling sharks.
C
Given that motivation is so central to our lives, what do we truly understand about how it operates and about its role in our lives? The assumption is that it’s driven by a positive, external reward. Do this, get that. But the story is much more complex.
One of the most striking aspects of motivation is that it often drives us to achievements that are difficult, challenging and even painful. You may think that you would be happy to spend all your time sitting on a white-sand beach drinking and that as long as you get to fill your days this way, you would be happy forever. But while a few days of enjoyment might be fun from time to time, I can’t imagine that you would be satisfied by spending your days, weeks, months, years and even your life this way.
Research that examines the differences between meaning and happiness finds that the things that give us a sense of meaning don’t necessarily make us happy. Moreover, people who report having meaningful lives are often more interested in doing things for others, while those who focus mostly on doing things for themselves report being only superficially (表面的) happy. The essential quality of “meaning” has to do with having a sense of being involved in something bigger than the self.
We all know people obtain a great sense of meaning even in the most unpleasant of circumstances. Many volunteers spend portions of their lives working indangerous, war-torn areas trying to keep disease and death from innocent civilians or teaching orphans to read. Their pain is real; their sense of doing something truly meaningful is substantial (豐富的). They show how our deep-rooted desire to believe that our lives have purpose beyond our lifespan drives us to work extra hard, even to the point of our own personal suffering, in order to gain more meaning.
The point is that these seemingly odd and irrational (不合理的) motivations get us to do things that are complex, difficult and unpleasant. But they go beyond helping people in need. They motivate us in every aspect of our lives — whether in our personal relationships, in our individual pursuits or in the workplace.
61. According to the author, which of the following about motivation is true?
A. Motivation is simply driven by external rewards.
B. Motivation is largely determined by social responsibilities.
C. Motivation enables us to gain more financial returns.
D. Motivation drives us to struggle for achievements.
62. According to the research, which of the practices gives us a sense of meaning?
A. Reading a classic novel in the leisure time.
B. Enjoying sunshine and comfort on the beach.
C. Accompanying terminal patients in hospital.
D. Listening to popular music in the sitting room.
63. The example of people’s voluntary work in Para. 4 mainly indicates that ______.
A. experiencing personal suffering is a necessary part of our growth
B. voluntary work serves the purpose of adding happiness to our lives
C. it’s our duty to help people in need to get out of their sufferings
D. life’s great rewards come from our experience of tough circumstances
64. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People should make sacrifices for social benefits due to their short lifespan.
B. The value and impact of motivation goes beyond our social circle and existence.
C. Helping people in need is the most important goal of a human being nowadays.
D. Superficially happy people usually put others first rather than focus on themselves.
D
Michael Herr, who has died aged 76, was the author of Dispatches (1977), the best book about the Vietnam war. Herr also made vital contributions to two of the best films on the war, Apocalypse Nowand Full Metal Jacket.
It took Herr eight years to write Dispatches, in part because he went home from Saigon with a bad case of stress disorder. He had gone to Vietnam as a correspondent for Esquire magazine. An American general asked him whether he was there to write about military fashion, and another whether he was there to write humour. No, he told them. He wrote little for Esquire, but took advantage of the US government’s decision to allow correspondents extraordinary access to go to war with the soldiers. He shared their discomforts and their fears, witnessed their death and recorded their language.
His own language, a stream of consciousness pulsing with energy, but masterfully controlled, captured the fear and the horror, but also the excitement, of the war in the jungle and paddy fields. “So much beauty”, he recalled, “and so much pleasure”. He recorded with a connoisseur’s expertise (行家專長) such details as the many ways in which soldiers would wish each other good luck, and the degrees of madness that were considered acceptable.
He identified with the young soldiers and learned in the first few days that you could not affect neutrality (中立). “If you are neutral, you don’t get it,” said he. He generally did not carry a weapon, though on occasion he did fire at Vietnamese in emergencies. The young soldiers, he said, “are my guns”.
The power of the book, perhaps, comes from Herr’s insistence on describing the war, or more precisely his own responses to it, rather than protesting (抗議) against it. It also comes from the ceaseless accompaniment of two elements, drugs and music — more particularly rock music, and especially the music of Jimi Hendrix. Herr himself spent drug-fuelled weekends in a flat in Saigon, staring at an ancient French map of Indochina, and he never caught a helicopter without a Hendrix record.
He met soldiers with a left pocket full of Dexedrine, the “upper” officially administered by the army to get them into battle, and a right pocket full of “downers” to get them through it. Dispatchesdid not come out until 1977, when the country was beginning to have its mind on other problems, but it did more, perhaps, than any other book to freeze an image of despair and a sense of waste about the war, rather as the trench poets of 1914 —1918 did in Britain.
Herr also made vital contributions to two of the most influential Vietnam films. He wrote Martin Sheen’s voiceover for Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now and later wrote the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. His work, in the book and the two films, has been seen as part of the process whereby the US came to see itself and its history no longer merely through traditional literature, but in sounds and images, in ways that prefigured (預(yù)示) the internet.
In 1980 Herr moved to London, where he stayed until he moved back to the US in 1991. It was there that he met Stanley Kubrick, who became a close friend, though Herr warned against doing business with him. Herr wrote Kubrick’s biography, but he wrote surprisingly little else after Dispatches.
65. Why did Michael Herr go to Vietnam during the war years?
A. To join the soldiers in military actions.
B. To report military actions and advances.
C. To give an authentic account of the war.
D. To write about military fashion and humour.
66. What can we infer from Michael Herr’s statement underlined in Paragraph 4?
A. It was impossible to remain neutral during the war.
B. It was unnecessary to show pity for the war victims.
C. Neutrality is a means to keep you safe during the war.
D. Neutrality can help the civilians free from sufferings.
67. Which of the following about Dispatches is true?
A. It fully describes Herr’s protest against the war.
B. Its language is casually selected and organized.
C. Music and drugs give the author inspiration.
D. It truly reflects Herr’s responses to the war.
68. US soldiers brought drugs with them during the war most probably because ______.
A. they were addicted to drugs
B. they suffered stress disorder
C. they used them to cure the wounds
D. they exchanged them for music records
69. Which of the following can best describe Herr’s attitude towards the war?
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral.
70. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Herr’s work offered Americans more ways to know themselves.
B. Herr stopped writing after the book Dispatches was published.
C. Herr rejected his friend’s request to write a biography for him.
D. Herr’s work played a positive role in the birth of the Internet.

What have we become? A society in which someone can have hundreds of online friends and yet go for days without human contact. We scan; we click; we text people in the next room instead of speaking to them; we even check our library books out by ourselves when once we might have chatted to a friendly person with an ink pad and a date stamp.
Loneliness can be dangerous. Recent research suggests that it may shorten people’s lives and make them more vulnerableto serious illness. It can distort (扭曲) senses of reality and even become an element that drives a few desperate young men to open fire on a cinema audience or a classroom full of children. Electronic voices on various devices can be the only ones some people hear. And what those voices say is not always true.
No man is an island, we are frequently reminded. There are those who choose to lead solitary (孤獨的) lives, and live them well, but on the whole we are sociable beings and we suffer if we are on our own too much. Human contact makes us happier, although virtual relationships can be very positive.
So what could lonely people do to make real friends? An answer, among many, is to read more books. Reading begins alone but becomes a shared activity when a reader, for example, joins a book group, attends a literary festival or signs up for a continuing education course on an aspect of literature that interests them. There’s no shame in turning up to any of these alone, and fellowship is guaranteed. Fellow readers may well turn out be like-minded; it’s a basis for new friendships and sustained relationships. Sharing an understanding of a book is a good way of sharing feelings safely. Literary characters can be useful as personas.
But there is another important reason why everyone should read more books, and in particular fiction. The responsibility to fight loneliness lies with those who do not suffer from it. Lonely people often feel that there is no one who understands them or can share their point of view. They need to know that actually there are. That requires everybody else to make the imaginative leap of feeling that connection, and reading fiction helps. It makes people more empathic (移情) — sympathy for fictitious (虛構(gòu)的) characters can translate into compassion (同情) in real life.
The stories of strangers reach us through many means: news bulletins, interviews, biography and memoir (回憶錄), but also drama and fiction. Walking a mile in their shoes might help turn some of those strangers into real friends.

It’s a question every social-media user faces after taking a great photo: Should I post this? Or is it going to come back to worry me? The questions get doubly complex when they involve children. A parent on average will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the child turns five, according to a recent survey. Are parents putting kids at risk by oversharing on social media?
Here are the selections of the views.
Lauren Apfel (US)
The big reason to share is to build a community. I live, for example, thousands of miles from my family. In this atmosphere of modern parenthood, we all struggle to make it through the day, and the internet has become a source of support. In the early years of mothering twins, one of the things that brought me the most happiness was posting pictures of them on Facebook. Sharing those photos and engaging with an online community was a lifeline.
Dracarys (China)
I don’t post pictures of my kids online because I don’t like when friends of mine post photos of me online. It feels way too public and exhibitionist to me. So I treat my kids the way I want to be treated. That is probably what the parents who are comfortable with online photos think, too, when they decide to put the photos out there.

One possible version 1:
While it is common for a parent to post children’s photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it’s beneficial while others are anxious about it.
In my opinion, posting children’s photos online is beneficial for people and makes a child better known. As a result, he is likely to have more chances to be successful in the future. It will also be easier for parents to communicate with other friends, for they have more to share with each other. Besides, it’s a way to strengthen an online social circle and connect with people we don’t know before.
Although there may be some disadvantages that come with posting children’s photos, it’s not necessary to be too cautious about it. We should have confidence in our society because we won’t throw away the apple because of the core.
One possible version2:
While it’s common for a parent to post children’s photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it’s beneficial while others are anxious about it.
In my opinion, it is not always the smartest or safest thing to do so. What parents view as delightful photos may be interpreted differently by others and give a false image of what the child is really like. Besides, there is a growing crime called “digital kidnapping” in which individuals or companies steal children’s images and use them in advertisements or other commercial activities. Apart from the obvious dangers of identity theft, it can result in them being re-shared and altered by other online users without permission, which may end up damaging their school status or future career prospects.
In short, although sharing children’s photos online does have advantages, parents should be cautious about it.

W: I think I’ll just buy it anyway. If it’s too small, I’ve still got two months to lose weight. I’m sure I can fit into it.

M: I’d like to send this package to Canada. Do you think it will arrive before the weekend?
W: Not by regular mail. If you’re willing to pay for express shipping, it will definitely get there before Saturday. Let’s see how much it weighs.
M: It’s mostly books, so it’s quite heavy.
W: Yes, it’s over five pounds. The express shipping rate will be about thirty dollars.
M: Thirty dollars?! I’m afraid that’s more than I planned for. But I have to get these books to my sister before her classes start next week.
W: Well, it’s only Tuesday, so you could send them First Class. That would only cost you ten dollars, and the package should arrive in three to five business days.
M: But in that case, they might not arrive until next week, right?
W: I’m afraid that’s a possibility. With First Class mail, we can only guarantee delivery by next Tuesday.
M: Well, I guess I’ll have to pay for the overnight shipping and hope my sister pays me back.
W: OK. You said this mostly contains books. Any batteries, liquids, or explosives in the package?
M: Of course not.
W: Good. Your total comes to twenty-nine dollars and fifty cents. Your tracking number is on the receipt.

Welcome to Freshman Orientation Week. We have some fun activities planned for you, and we also want to make sure we answer all your questions. More than anything, we want you to make friends, enjoy yourself, and become part of the Smith University family. You’ve all received a backpack with some free school supplies. Did you notice that the backpacks come in six different colors? That’s because you’ll be divided into six different teams. Look for the flag that matches your backpack color. If you have an orange backpack, you should go stand under the orange flag. For those with blue backpacks, you’ll want to join the blue team. We also have yellow, red, green, and black teams. We want you to mix with other new students and find new friends. Today, your team will take part in a race to find seven different university services on campus. You should find all the places on the list. Make sure you take a picture of yourself at each place, and come back here when you’re done. The first team to finish will win free gift cards to the university bookstore. Now that you’re in your groups, we have a few more instructions. Choose one person to be your leader and another to be your photographer. And remember that even if you don’t finish the whole list, be back here – the university cafeteria – by twelve o’clock. Now, let’s start our race. Ready? On your marks, get set … go!

第二部分閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳答案，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
When travelling abroad, your safest bet is to limit gestures as much as possible. However, you may find that your gestures happen out of habit. Understanding appropriate gestures of the country you’re visiting may prevent you from communicating the wrong message. In North America, eye contact communicates to the speaker that you’re interested and listening. In Asia, people look away to concentrate on what the speaker is saying. Taking the time to get yourself familiar with the gestures of the country you’re visiting will help you connect with the people of the foreign environment.
Gestures in Brazil
Much like the Italian culture, a Brazilian snaps his fingers(打響指)and uses exaggerated(夸張的)hand movements when stressing a statement. The sense of warmth and friendliness with each other is shown through the gesture of eye contact when communicating and standing close together in lineups or when talking to each other. Communicating a greeting is more than the gesture of a handshake, but also involves the touch of the forearm.
Gestures in China
China is affected by Confucius’ way of thinking, which is reflected through its reserved culture. You communicate a greeting in China with the gesture of a slight nod and bow. To communicate respect, you keep your head lowered. In China, the gesture of standing close during a conversation prevents having to communicate with a raised voice. A person will communicate his surprise during a conversation with the gesture of breathing in air loudly, rather than a loud outburst.
Gestures in Russia
Gestures considered common to Americans may be considered rude in Russia. The American gesture to communicate “okay”, with the forefinger and thumb touching and three fingers up, is considered rude in Russia. Looking at your watch is a rude gesture communicating impatience. Russians also feel upset about the gesture of communicating directions by pointing.
Gestures in India
Gestures used in India represent its traditional culture. In India, the gesture of holding out the hand to communicate giving or receiving must be done with the right hand as a person in India uses his left hand for washing. The gesture of communicating respect at a religious ceremony is done by removing your shoes. The proper way of communicating direction is to use either the whole hand or by using your chin. The proper form of communicating a greeting is to press the palms(手掌)together with fingers upward and say, “Namaste”.
21. In China people stand close while talking to ________.
A. avoid a loud voice B. show their surprise
C. exchange greetings D. express their respect
22. Which of the following is considered bad manners in India?
A. Receiving gifts with the left hand.
B. Using the whole hand to show the way.
C. Removing shoes at religious ceremonies.
D. Pressing the palms together upward while greeting.
23. In which country is looking at the watch considered impolite during communication ?
A. Brazil. B. Russia. C. India. D. China.
24. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. some traveling tips for visitors B. the advantages of using body language
C. some gestures in communication D. the comparison between different cultures
B
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’ t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves .If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor.If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice.If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities.Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image.When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.Good luck!
25.You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.
A.dare to challenge yourself B.feel it hard to change yourself
C.are unconfident about yourself D.have a high opinion of yourself
26.According to the passage, our serf-images _________.
A.have positive effects B.are probably untrue
C.are often changeable D.have different functions
27.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?
A.To keep a different image of others. B.To make your life successful.
C.To understand your own world. D.To change the way you think.
28.What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to prepare for your success. B.How to face challenges in your life.
C.How to build a positive self-image. D.How to develop your good qualities.
C
Evidence of violent storms that destroyed a lost town known as Britain’s Atlantis has been uncovered. The finds were uncovered off the coast of Dunwich, Suffolk - a small village which in the 11th Century was one of the largest towns in England.
The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea. Researchers said sediment(沉積物) gathered from the cliffs independently proved the historical record.
“They were like the south coast storms of 2013, at least once a year for decades,” Professor David Sear, of the University of Southampton said.
The three-year research off Dunwich has been funded by Touching the Tide, a £900,000 Heritage Lottery Fund plan to explore the changing Suffolk coast.
A diver used ultrasound(超聲波) to “illuminate” findings on the seabed, and the marshes(沼澤) and eroding cliffs were surveyed. “It offers a marvelous history of climate change and coastal erosion,” said Prof Sear with regards to the findings.
In the 11th Century, Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England, but now has about 120 residents. Two great storms in 1286 and 1326 resulted in the loss of its harbour and started its decline. Prof Sear said analysis showed how “people gave up on Dunwich” after 1338, when another great storm choked up the port for good, and food production declined. Sediment gathered from the cliffs, he said, “independently confirmed the sequences of storms recorded in the historical record”.
The underwater research has been carried out using acoustic(聲學(xué)的) imaging technology, and has unearthed a series of buildings. We found the ruins of about four churches and we’ve also found ruins of what we think was a toll house. We’ve also found shipwrecks(沉船), which no-one’s known before.
A dig in 2015 discovered evidence of Dunwich’s prehistoric origins, as well as evidence it was “a substantial Saxon port, prior to its rapid growth following the Norman invasion”.
Bill Jenman, from Touching the Tide, said: “We found loads of pottery, a lot more than we’ve found before, so sort of High Medieval - the peak of the wealth of Dunwich. We know it was a fairly major town in the Anglo-Saxon period.”
29. Evidence shows that Dunwich declined in history due to ______.
A. the rise of sea level B. sediment from the cliffs
C. the Norman invasion D. a series of storms
30. What can be learned from the text about Dunwich’s present condition?
A. It is completely below the sea B. It still exists with about 120 residents.
C. It is still hit by storms every year. D. It is still an important port in England
31. With the help of modern equipment, the researchers have found all the following things underwater EXCEPT_____.
A. shipwrecks unknown before
B. ruins of churches and other buildings
C. the seabed that was like a busy harbour
D. lots of pottery dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period
32. From the discoveries, we can conclude that______.
A. Dunwich was thoroughly ruined by the Norman invaders
B. no one believed those ships could have sink at Dunwich
C. Dunwich was a prosperous town before its decline
D. no historical records about Dunwich were kept after 1338
D
The term “ lifelong learning” is often used to define the attitude of staying in a learning mode.It is a term that is used loosely and lacks structure,importance,value and support in India.
Many developed countries,for example Canada,have government programmes based on UNESCO guidelines and even offer financial support under Lifelong Learning Plans (LLPs).In the Indian context,learning is often done to earn a degree.We are a degree-oriented country.A hard fact that these degrees are sometimes mere pieces of paper,which do not establish any fact of real learning happening,or that some degrees do not help get a job in today’s times,is still not an accepted reality.The concept of voluntary and continuous learning,whether to enhance professional or personal skills, is still a long shot in India.
The whole idea of lifelong learning recognizes the fact that not all learning needs to be formal,or restricted to student life until the age of 28.It can be a process that is continuous throughout life,based on situations and varied needs.Take the case of a retired professional.She may be interested in fine arts,but wasn’t able to do so in her career.Can’t she then enroll in (登記) a degree programme of fine arts after retirement?Our current system doesn’t quite support such needs of learning, for it doesn’t admit anybody beyond the age of 45.
Another aspect of lifelong learning is “life-deep learning”.It is another word for value education or value-based teaching.In earlier times,there used to be periods in classroom learning called moral science that taught the importance of right versus wrong.
Further,“ life-wide learning” is a term that refers to lateral(橫向的)learning—from experiences and situations different from formal,structured education.
These three concepts—lifelong learning,life-deep learning and life-wide learning—constitute the framework of UNESCO’s recommendation to take education to the next level.
33.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
A.Degrees are designed to get a job.B.Canada is also a degree-oriented country.
C.India has a long way to go in “lifelong learning”.D.Lifelong learning doesn’t need money support.
34.Which of the following cannot be used to describe “lifelong learning”?
A. Formal. B. Voluntary. C.Important. D.Continuous.
35.What can we infer from the example of the woman in Paragraph 3?
A.She didn’t do well in her career before retirement.
B.She didn’t become an artist until the age of 45.
C. The elderly lose the right of study in the current system.
D.She gained a chance to study fine arts after retirement.

In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them. 36.But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers(制造商).
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. 37. That will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads.The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself, 38Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr.David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(裝置) to regulate(調(diào)節(jié)) the distance between one car and another.39.Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010, Dr.David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image(影像)of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen. 40. Cars will be connected by an electronic bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”.“The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount of fuel.” says Davis.“ But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”
A.The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.
B.They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.
C.And it will not be owned by one individual.
D.And by 2030, cars will travel in line, linked to each other electronically.
E.So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.
F.Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.
G.The car will automatically speed upor slow downto match the speed of the front car.

Dear Bob,
How’s everything going? In your last letter you were asking about the current situation of the Bike-sharing Program in Chengdu. I’m writing to tell you something about it and share some of my ideas with you.
Undoubtedly, the Bike-sharing Program can bring lots of benefits. To begin with, riding a bike is not only economic but also time-saving, especially when your destination is not far away. What’s more, the program makes contributions to reducing air pollution.
However, there is also some disturbing news connected with it. Some shared-bikes are parked everywhere, making the city roads messy and dangerous. Worse still, some shared-bikes have been damaged, stolen or even burnt.
As far as I’m concerned, as long as people park the bikes in the right places and obey the traffic rules, I’m definitely in favor of such a program. What do you think?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

第三部分閱讀理解 (共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30分)
請認真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Maximize your holiday budget
When it comes to planning a summer getaway, don’t leave money matters to the last minute. It’s wise to get the money matters in the bag first.
Travel insurance
Leaving your travel insurance to the last moment is potentially the costliest holiday mistake you can make. Travel insurance doesn’t just protect you from illness and theft when you’re away—it starts as soon as you buy it. This comes into use if you find you need to cancel your trip due to things such as illness or the death of a travelling companion. So it makes sense to get this sorted as soon as you make your first booking.
Travel money
The worst place to switch your cash into foreign currency is at the airport or ferry port. You’ll find the poorest exchange rates here as they know you’ve no other options. Buy your money at least a week before you go. The best rates can usually be found from specialist brokers, which are often also better than high-street banks. There are exchange-rate comparison websites such as Travel Money Max, which will let you know what you’ll get at the different locations.
A budget
It might not be the most fun thing to think about, but it’s arguably the most important of them all. Work out how much you can afford to spend when you’re away to avoid any nasty surprises when you get home. It’s helpful to have a daily budget that you adjust up and down if you spend more or less.
56. If you buy travel insurance, you will be compensated ______.
A. when you cancel your trip casually
B. when a tourist guide dies on the way
C. when you are ill before starting a trip
D. when your money is stolen during the trip
57. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. It makes sense to work out a daily budget in advance.
B. You’ll know different locations at Travel Money Max.
C. It costs the least to buy your money in high-street banks.
D. You will experience unpleasant surprises after your trip.
B
New study suggests angler education can benefit sharks
A new study finds fisher education can help protect vulnerable (易受攻擊的) shark populations. The research, led by University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science scientists, showed that recreational anglers (釣魚者) were more supportive of shark management and conservation if they had prior knowledge of shark conservation. “The recreational fishing community has a long history of supporting marine conservation efforts, so there is great value in trying to understand which factors affect their behavior and decision making, especially for threatened species such as sharks,” said Austin Gallagher, UM adjunct assistant professor and lead author of the study.
The researchers interviewed 158 recreational anglers in South Florida about their attitudes towards shark conservation. They found that many catch-and-release anglers recognized that sharks can suffer from post-release mortality (死亡) but it is still an under-appreciated consequence, particularly for species that are born sensitive, such as hammerheads (雙髻鯊). The data also revealed that many recreational anglers are supportive of marine protected areas for threatened shark species, although climate change is a larger perceived threat to sharks than recreational fishing.
“Anglers generally care about shark conservation, but are unaware of some potential threats from recreational fishing and how they can best modify their angling techniques to improve survivorship of released sharks,” said co-author Neil Hammerschlag, research assistant professor at the UM Rosenstiel School and UM Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy.
According to the authors, the findings suggest a need for increased education and outreach on the impacts of catch-and-release angling on sharks to improve survival rates and conservation of threatened sharks.
“Our study identifies important disconnects between existing scientific evidence on the impacts of recreational fishing on certain shark species and existing conservation beliefs among anglers,” said Gallagher. “This is a good starting point for new conversations on sustainability within the fishing community.”
58. According to the passage, we can make anglers play a role in protecting sharks by ______.
A. managing them quite differently
B. providing other recreational activities
C. equipping them with necessary information
D. helping them to make much better decisions
59. More released sharks could have survived ______.
A. if they were sensitive species
B. if they had been angled scientifically
C. if the climate hadn’t changed so much
D. if they stayed out of protected areas
60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Recreational fishing has little effect on protecting sharks.
B. Many recreational anglers are actually for marine conservation.
C. The fishing community will surely gain sustainable development.
D. The fishing community are willing to give up angling sharks.
C
Given that motivation is so central to our lives, what do we truly understand about how it operates and about its role in our lives? The assumption is that it’s driven by a positive, external reward. Do this, get that. But the story is much more complex.
One of the most striking aspects of motivation is that it often drives us to achievements that are difficult, challenging and even painful. You may think that you would be happy to spend all your time sitting on a white-sand beach drinking and that as long as you get to fill your days this way, you would be happy forever. But while a few days of enjoyment might be fun from time to time, I can’t imagine that you would be satisfied by spending your days, weeks, months, years and even your life this way.
Research that examines the differences between meaning and happiness finds that the things that give us a sense of meaning don’t necessarily make us happy. Moreover, people who report having meaningful lives are often more interested in doing things for others, while those who focus mostly on doing things for themselves report being only superficially (表面的) happy. The essential quality of “meaning” has to do with having a sense of being involved in something bigger than the self.
We all know people obtain a great sense of meaning even in the most unpleasant of circumstances. Many volunteers spend portions of their lives working indangerous, war-torn areas trying to keep disease and death from innocent civilians or teaching orphans to read. Their pain is real; their sense of doing something truly meaningful is substantial (豐富的). They show how our deep-rooted desire to believe that our lives have purpose beyond our lifespan drives us to work extra hard, even to the point of our own personal suffering, in order to gain more meaning.
The point is that these seemingly odd and irrational (不合理的) motivations get us to do things that are complex, difficult and unpleasant. But they go beyond helping people in need. They motivate us in every aspect of our lives — whether in our personal relationships, in our individual pursuits or in the workplace.
61. According to the author, which of the following about motivation is true?
A. Motivation is simply driven by external rewards.
B. Motivation is largely determined by social responsibilities.
C. Motivation enables us to gain more financial returns.
D. Motivation drives us to struggle for achievements.
62. According to the research, which of the practices gives us a sense of meaning?
A. Reading a classic novel in the leisure time.
B. Enjoying sunshine and comfort on the beach.
C. Accompanying terminal patients in hospital.
D. Listening to popular music in the sitting room.
63. The example of people’s voluntary work in Para. 4 mainly indicates that ______.
A. experiencing personal suffering is a necessary part of our growth
B. voluntary work serves the purpose of adding happiness to our lives
C. it’s our duty to help people in need to get out of their sufferings
D. life’s great rewards come from our experience of tough circumstances
64. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People should make sacrifices for social benefits due to their short lifespan.
B. The value and impact of motivation goes beyond our social circle and existence.
C. Helping people in need is the most important goal of a human being nowadays.
D. Superficially happy people usually put others first rather than focus on themselves.
D
Michael Herr, who has died aged 76, was the author of Dispatches (1977), the best book about the Vietnam war. Herr also made vital contributions to two of the best films on the war, Apocalypse Nowand Full Metal Jacket.
It took Herr eight years to write Dispatches, in part because he went home from Saigon with a bad case of stress disorder. He had gone to Vietnam as a correspondent for Esquire magazine. An American general asked him whether he was there to write about military fashion, and another whether he was there to write humour. No, he told them. He wrote little for Esquire, but took advantage of the US government’s decision to allow correspondents extraordinary access to go to war with the soldiers. He shared their discomforts and their fears, witnessed their death and recorded their language.
His own language, a stream of consciousness pulsing with energy, but masterfully controlled, captured the fear and the horror, but also the excitement, of the war in the jungle and paddy fields. “So much beauty”, he recalled, “and so much pleasure”. He recorded with a connoisseur’s expertise (行家專長) such details as the many ways in which soldiers would wish each other good luck, and the degrees of madness that were considered acceptable.
He identified with the young soldiers and learned in the first few days that you could not affect neutrality (中立). “If you are neutral, you don’t get it,” said he. He generally did not carry a weapon, though on occasion he did fire at Vietnamese in emergencies. The young soldiers, he said, “are my guns”.
The power of the book, perhaps, comes from Herr’s insistence on describing the war, or more precisely his own responses to it, rather than protesting (抗議) against it. It also comes from the ceaseless accompaniment of two elements, drugs and music — more particularly rock music, and especially the music of Jimi Hendrix. Herr himself spent drug-fuelled weekends in a flat in Saigon, staring at an ancient French map of Indochina, and he never caught a helicopter without a Hendrix record.
He met soldiers with a left pocket full of Dexedrine, the “upper” officially administered by the army to get them into battle, and a right pocket full of “downers” to get them through it. Dispatchesdid not come out until 1977, when the country was beginning to have its mind on other problems, but it did more, perhaps, than any other book to freeze an image of despair and a sense of waste about the war, rather as the trench poets of 1914 —1918 did in Britain.
Herr also made vital contributions to two of the most influential Vietnam films. He wrote Martin Sheen’s voiceover for Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now and later wrote the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. His work, in the book and the two films, has been seen as part of the process whereby the US came to see itself and its history no longer merely through traditional literature, but in sounds and images, in ways that prefigured (預(yù)示) the internet.
In 1980 Herr moved to London, where he stayed until he moved back to the US in 1991. It was there that he met Stanley Kubrick, who became a close friend, though Herr warned against doing business with him. Herr wrote Kubrick’s biography, but he wrote surprisingly little else after Dispatches.
65. Why did Michael Herr go to Vietnam during the war years?
A. To join the soldiers in military actions.
B. To report military actions and advances.
C. To give an authentic account of the war.
D. To write about military fashion and humour.
66. What can we infer from Michael Herr’s statement underlined in Paragraph 4?
A. It was impossible to remain neutral during the war.
B. It was unnecessary to show pity for the war victims.
C. Neutrality is a means to keep you safe during the war.
D. Neutrality can help the civilians free from sufferings.
67. Which of the following about Dispatches is true?
A. It fully describes Herr’s protest against the war.
B. Its language is casually selected and organized.
C. Music and drugs give the author inspiration.
D. It truly reflects Herr’s responses to the war.
68. US soldiers brought drugs with them during the war most probably because ______.
A. they were addicted to drugs
B. they suffered stress disorder
C. they used them to cure the wounds
D. they exchanged them for music records
69. Which of the following can best describe Herr’s attitude towards the war?
A. Supportive. B. Uninterested. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral.
70. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Herr’s work offered Americans more ways to know themselves.
B. Herr stopped writing after the book Dispatches was published.
C. Herr rejected his friend’s request to write a biography for him.
D. Herr’s work played a positive role in the birth of the Internet.

What have we become? A society in which someone can have hundreds of online friends and yet go for days without human contact. We scan; we click; we text people in the next room instead of speaking to them; we even check our library books out by ourselves when once we might have chatted to a friendly person with an ink pad and a date stamp.
Loneliness can be dangerous. Recent research suggests that it may shorten people’s lives and make them more vulnerableto serious illness. It can distort (扭曲) senses of reality and even become an element that drives a few desperate young men to open fire on a cinema audience or a classroom full of children. Electronic voices on various devices can be the only ones some people hear. And what those voices say is not always true.
No man is an island, we are frequently reminded. There are those who choose to lead solitary (孤獨的) lives, and live them well, but on the whole we are sociable beings and we suffer if we are on our own too much. Human contact makes us happier, although virtual relationships can be very positive.
So what could lonely people do to make real friends? An answer, among many, is to read more books. Reading begins alone but becomes a shared activity when a reader, for example, joins a book group, attends a literary festival or signs up for a continuing education course on an aspect of literature that interests them. There’s no shame in turning up to any of these alone, and fellowship is guaranteed. Fellow readers may well turn out be like-minded; it’s a basis for new friendships and sustained relationships. Sharing an understanding of a book is a good way of sharing feelings safely. Literary characters can be useful as personas.
But there is another important reason why everyone should read more books, and in particular fiction. The responsibility to fight loneliness lies with those who do not suffer from it. Lonely people often feel that there is no one who understands them or can share their point of view. They need to know that actually there are. That requires everybody else to make the imaginative leap of feeling that connection, and reading fiction helps. It makes people more empathic (移情) — sympathy for fictitious (虛構(gòu)的) characters can translate into compassion (同情) in real life.
The stories of strangers reach us through many means: news bulletins, interviews, biography and memoir (回憶錄), but also drama and fiction. Walking a mile in their shoes might help turn some of those strangers into real friends.

81. 請閱讀下面短文，并按照要求用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。
It’s a question every social-media user faces after taking a great photo: Should I post this? Or is it going to come back to worry me? The questions get doubly complex when they involve children. A parent on average will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the child turns five, according to a recent survey. Are parents putting kids at risk by oversharing on social media?
Here are the selections of the views.
Lauren Apfel (US)
The big reason to share is to build a community. I live, for example, thousands of miles from my family. In this atmosphere of modern parenthood, we all struggle to make it through the day, and the internet has become a source of support. In the early years of mothering twins, one of the things that brought me the most happiness was posting pictures of them on Facebook. Sharing those photos and engaging with an online community was a lifeline.
Dracarys (China)
I don’t post pictures of my kids online because I don’t like when friends of mine post photos of me online. It feels way too public and exhibitionist to me. So I treat my kids the way I want to be treated. That is probably what the parents who are comfortable with online photos think, too, when they decide to put the photos out there.
【寫作內(nèi)容】
1. 用約30個單詞寫出上文概要;
2. 用約120個單詞闡述你對家長在社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)上分享孩子照片的看法，并用2-3個理由或論據(jù)支撐你的理由。
【寫作要求】
1. 寫作過程中不能直接引用原文語句;
2. 作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實姓名和學(xué)校名稱;
3. 不必寫標題。
【評分標準】
內(nèi)容完整，語言規(guī)范，語篇連貫，詞數(shù)適當(dāng)。

One possible version 1:
While it is common for a parent to post children’s photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it’s beneficial while others are anxious about it.
In my opinion, posting children’s photos online is beneficial for people and makes a child better known. As a result, he is likely to have more chances to be successful in the future. It will also be easier for parents to communicate with other friends, for they have more to share with each other. Besides, it’s a way to strengthen an online social circle and connect with people we don’t know before.
Although there may be some disadvantages that come with posting children’s photos, it’s not necessary to be too cautious about it. We should have confidence in our society because we won’t throw away the apple because of the core.
One possible version2:
While it’s common for a parent to post children’s photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it’s beneficial while others are anxious about it.
In my opinion, it is not always the smartest or safest thing to do so. What parents view as delightful photos may be interpreted differently by others and give a false image of what the child is really like. Besides, there is a growing crime called “digital kidnapping” in which individuals or companies steal children’s images and use them in advertisements or other commercial activities. Apart from the obvious dangers of identity theft, it can result in them being re-shared and altered by other online users without permission, which may end up damaging their school status or future career prospects.
In short, although sharing children’s photos online does have advantages, parents should be cautious about it.

M: Have you seen my blue sports shirt?

Text 2
W: Hey kids! What are you doing in my yard?
M: I’m sorry. We were playing baseball, and our ball is in your yard.
W: I see. You are lucky. My dog wasn’t in the yard. Next time, just knock on the door, OK?
Text 3
W: I’d like to withdraw 100 dollars from my savings account. I need to pay my gas bill.
M: Could you tell me your account number and last name?
W: My last name is Hu, and my account number is written on the back of this envelope.
Text 4
W: What seems to be the problem?
M: My throat hurts, and I can’t stop coughing.
W: It sounds like you’ve caught a cold. Here’s a prescription for some medicine. You should stay home and rest. Make sure you drink plenty of water.

M: I meant to turn in my homework, but I left it on my desk at home. I’ll have to bring it to class tomorrow.
W: Are you serious? Not again!

M: I’m so excited about this trip. We haven’t had a vacation for several months.
W: I know. This is going to be a great week. I have always wanted to see Disneyland.
M: And I want to revisit the Oriental Pearl Tower and go to my Shanghai University class reunion. What time is our flight?
W: It’s in a few hours. We should really be on the way to the airport already. What time is our car supposed to arrive?
M: How would I know? I thought you ordered a taxi.
W: Oh, no! We’ll never get a taxi at this time of day. Let’s see if our neighbors can give us a ride.

M: May I help you find something?
W: I’m not sure about this red dress. I am going to my high school reunion this summer, and I want something to make me look young and successful.
M: I think this black dress will be perfect. It’s quite beautiful, and the color suits you well.
W: That is nice, but I’m afraid it’s out of my price range.
M: Perhaps you’d like to try something from this corner of the store. All the dresses on this shelf are on sale.
W: Wow! Sixty percent off the original price! That seems too good to be true.
M: We’re making room for the summer collection. That’s why you can get such a good deal. I think this blue dress would be perfect for your reunion.
W: I do like it. I don’t have time to try it on, though. Can I buy it now and then just return it later if I don’t like it?
M: I’m sorry, but I’m afraid our sale items cannot be returned.
W: I think I’ll just buy it anyway. If it’s too small, I’ve still got two months to lose weight. I’m sure I can fit into it.

M: I’d like to send this package to Canada. Do you think it will arrive before the weekend?
W: Not by regular mail. If you’re willing to pay for express shipping, it will definitely get there before Saturday. Let’s see how much it weighs.
M: It’s mostly books, so it’s quite heavy.
W: Yes, it’s over five pounds. The express shipping rate will be about thirty dollars.
M: Thirty dollars?! I’m afraid that’s more than I planned for. But I have to get these books to my sister before her classes start next week.
W: Well, it’s only Tuesday, so you could send them First Class. That would only cost you ten dollars, and the package should arrive in three to five business days.
M: But in that case, they might not arrive until next week, right?
W: I’m afraid that’s a possibility. With First Class mail, we can only guarantee delivery by next Tuesday.
M: Well, I guess I’ll have to pay for the overnight shipping and hope my sister pays me back.
W: OK. You said this mostly contains books. Any batteries, liquids, or explosives in the package?
M: Of course not.
W: Good. Your total comes to twenty-nine dollars and fifty cents. Your tracking number is on the receipt.

Welcome to Freshman Orientation Week. We have some fun activities planned for you, and we also want to make sure we answer all your questions. More than anything, we want you to make friends, enjoy yourself, and become part of the Smith University family. You’ve all received a backpack with some free school supplies. Did you notice that the backpacks come in six different colors? That’s because you’ll be divided into six different teams. Look for the flag that matches your backpack color. If you have an orange backpack, you should go stand under the orange flag. For those with blue backpacks, you’ll want to join the blue team. We also have yellow, red, green, and black teams. We want you to mix with other new students and find new friends. Today, your team will take part in a race to find seven different university services on campus. You should find all the places on the list. Make sure you take a picture of yourself at each place, and come back here when you’re done. The first team to finish will win free gift cards to the university bookstore. Now that you’re in your groups, we have a few more instructions. Choose one person to be your leader and another to be your photographer. And remember that even if you don’t finish the whole list, be back here – the university cafeteria – by twelve o’clock. Now, let’s start our race. Ready? On your marks, get set … go!
