W：My best friend works there. And I went to visit her. It was a good chance to practice my Spanish.
Text 2
M：Ruth, I’ve got this terrible cold and I have to see a doctor. I’m afraid I can’t go to the class. Could you help me hand in my lab report to Dr. Davidson?
W：Sure, no problem. Just take care of yourself. And don’t worry about the class.
Text 3
M：Marie, if no one takes care of your children when you’re away, Jennifer and I would be glad to have them stay with us.
W：That’s very kind of you. But they’ve already left for their grandma’s. You know, Suzy lives close by.
Text 4
M：Hurry up with your food, Sally. They say there’s a big storm coming. We’d better get home before that.

M：Oh, sure.
Text 5
M：We deep-fried fish three days ago in the kitchen, but the unpleasant smell stays.
W：There’s a method you can try. Every time you make coffee, dry the leftover coffee grounds. And keep them in small bowls. Then place the bowls in the kitchen.
Text 6
W：Are you a football fan, Gomez?
M：Yes. I go to the stadium whenever there’s a good game. And if I can’t get a ticket, I watch the game on TV. That way they’re less exciting, though.
W：Is the ticket expensive?
M：It depends. It usually costs about 20－50 dollars. Last time I paid 25.

W：What are your plans for the next holiday?

W：I’m not exactly sure. I think there’s a problem with the engine. Er, I wonder if you could give me a ride to the hotel tomorrow morning.
M：Sure, when shall I be at your place?
W：Well, what about 8 o’clock？From my place to Shelton we have to drive through the quarters, so we’d better leave early to avoid the traffic.
M：OK, no problem. It takes 20 minutes to reach your place, so I’ll set off at 740. By the way, do you also need me to drive you home tomorrow afternoon?
W：No. John would be back then and he’ll get me home. Thank you, Michael.
M：That’s OK. See you tomorrow.

Hello, everyone. Today I’ll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers followed by grammar in effective spoken English. However, most people don’t regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They are more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So it’s important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts. By experts, I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them, pay attention to words that sound strange—because you pronounce the same words differently. When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations. You can also search for difficult-to-pronounce words and names and make a list of them. The last suggestion is to read aloud. Now you’ve got the correct pronunciations of the words, it’s time to practice reading them every day.

第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 37. 5 分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel(旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around 25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location(位置) with security and comfort.
Yellow Hostel
If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.
Hostel Alessandro Palace
If you love social hostels, this is the best hostel for you in Rome. Hostel Alessandro Palace is fun. Staff members hold plenty of bar events for guests like free shots, bar crawls and karaoke. There’s also an area on the rooftop for hanging out with other travelers during the summer.
Youth Station Hostel
If you’re looking for cleanliness and a modern hostel, look no further than Youth Station. It offers beautiful furnishings and beds. There are plenty of other benefits, too；it doesn’t charge city tax；it has both air conditioning and a heater for the rooms；it also has free Wi-Fi in every room.
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes
Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing you with a map of the city when you arrive, and offering advice if you require some. However, you need to pay 2 euros a day for Wi-Fi.
语篇解读 出于价格考虑, 许多游客去罗马旅行时选择住在旅社。本文主要介绍了罗马的四个旅社。
21. What is probably the major concern of travelers who choose to stay in a hostel?

B. Hostel Alessandro Palace.

D. Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes.
【答案】B

B
By day, Robert Titterman is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterman is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot,” Mr Titterman explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterman said. “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s absorbed in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say：‘Turn, turn！’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
语篇解读 本文主要讲述了律师Robert Titterman利用自己的业余时间去帮钢琴师翻乐谱的故事。翻乐谱看似是一份简单的工作, 但是也需要进行很多练习, 尤其要与每位钢琴师默契配合。
24. What should Titterman be able to do to be a page turner?
A. Read music.
B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs.
D. Fix the instruments.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.” 可知, Robert Titterman认识乐谱, 这使得他可以做好翻乐谱的工作, 故A项正确。
25. Which of the following best describes Titterman’s job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段第一句“Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.” 可以推断, Titterman的工作要求很高, 故C项正确。
26. What does Titterman need to practise?
A. Counting the pages.
B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects.
D. Performing in his own style.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of ‘nodding’ to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.” 可知, Titterman需要在领会钢琴师的“点头示意” 上多加练习, 故B项正确。
27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner” ？
A. He has very poor eyesight.
B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music.
D. He forgets to do his job.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“He’s absorbed in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say：‘Turn, turn！’” 可知, Raspopova女士的丈夫沉浸在音乐中以至于忘了自己的本职工作, 所以Raspopova女士称其为“最糟糕的翻乐谱工作者” , 故D项正确。
C
When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl(水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地).
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory(迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J. N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
语篇解读 本文介绍了美国政府创造性地将邮票和狩猎凭证联系在一起以保护水禽及其栖息地。
28. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?
A. Loss of wetlands.
B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Pollution of rivers.
D. Arrival of other wild animals.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat(栖息地).” 可知, 湿地丧失是水禽数量减少的原因之一, 故A项正确。
29. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Acquire. B. Export.
C. Destroy. D. Distribute.
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据语境可知, 画线词所在句与上文形成转折, 上文讲到了探险者抵达北美洲时, 这片大陆上充满了各种各样的野生物种, 整个大陆生机勃勃。美洲土著居民明智地照顾着这些宝贵的自然资源, 因此画线词所在句应讲述这些资源受到的破坏——探险者及随之而来的殖民者只用了几十年就将大部分资源破坏, 故画线词与C项的意义最接近。
30. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?
A. The stamp price has gone down.
B. The migratory birds have flown away.
C. The hunters have stopped hunting.
D. The government has collected money.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund... Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund” 可知, 《候鸟狩猎印花税法案》带来的一个直接结果是政府筹到了钱, 故D项正确。
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story
B. The National Wildlife Refuge System
C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl
D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting
【答案】A
【解析】标题归纳题。阅读文章内容可知, 本文主要讲述了《候鸟狩猎印花税法案》出台的背景、联邦鸭邮票的设计、用途及其作用和影响, 故A项正确。
D
Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional(情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills”. Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.
We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.
Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis(重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
语篇解读 在某些情况下, 情商的普及改变了其原来的含义。情感技巧可以促成我们身上一些优秀品质的形成, 情商的普及总体上利大于弊, 同时作者也希望未来对情感的研究可以更科学、更学术一些, 希望科技的进步能为此类研究提供新的视角。
32. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?
A. It can be measured by an IQ test.
B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.
C. It includes a set of emotional skills.
D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable... ‘people skills’.” 可知, 许多人错误地把情商看作一个人身上几乎所有的优秀品质, 故D项正确。
33. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain a rule.
B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a fact.
D. To make a prediction.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知, 作者在这一段首先陈述了一个观点, 即我们更喜欢将情商描述为一组既可用于好的目的, 也可用于坏的目的的特定技能, 然后作者通过医生和骗子的例子来阐释这个观点, 故B项正确。
34. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】A
【解析】观点态度题。根据第三段中的“the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful... has helped both the public and researchers... in everyday life” 可知, 作者对情商普及化是支持的, 故A项正确。
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?
A. Its appeal to the public.
B. Expectations for future studies.
C. Its practical application.
D. Scientists with new perspectives.
【答案】B
【解析】段落大意题。根据最后一段的内容, 尤其是“we hope... study of emotion. It is our hope that... point us in the right direction” 可知, 本段主要讲述了作者对未来有关情商的研究的希望和期待, 故B项正确。
第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. __36__ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing(水管) worked. __37__ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. __38__ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
__39__ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost 18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. __40__ When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
36. 【答案】F
【解析】本空起到了承上启下的作用, 空前讲到了“我和丈夫刚刚在巴黎待了一周” , 空后一句讲到了“所以, 我们做的第一件事情就是花大价钱租了一个橱柜大小、位于六层的公寓” , F项“我们的目的是看看在某种程度上我们是否能像真正的巴黎人一样生活” 符合语境。
37. 【答案】C
【解析】空前一句讲到了“和通常的巴黎公寓不同, 这里的水管可以使用” , 空后一句讲到了“我们的公寓楼里甚至还有一部小电梯” , 因此空处应与公寓或公寓楼有关, 故C项符合语境。
38. 【答案】G
【解析】空前一句讲到了“他们吃得很好, 却不发胖” , 而空后一句讲到了“法国的草莓尝起来不像硬纸板, 相反, 它们会像小炸弹一样在你的嘴里爆炸” , 因此空处讲到的应该是法国的食物带给人的感受, 故G项符合语境。
39. 【答案】E
【解析】上一段讲到巴黎的食物非常美味, 人们不需要吃太多就可以感到开心。空后讲述作者和丈夫购买食品杂货时发现巴黎的食物很贵, 暗含法国人因此吃得少, 故E项“那不是法国人比我们吃得少的唯一原因” 符合语境。
40. 【答案】A
【解析】空前一句讲到了“法国的咖啡馆总是爆满” , 而空后一句讲到了“这些人什么时候去上班呢” , 据此可知, 空处应该会讲到咖啡馆里的一些人, 故A项符合语境。

It happened that the plant downtown needed eight kids for __43__ help during our spring break, for which I had no __44__ beyond listening to my favorite records. I’d __45__ minimum wage. I’d see how a factory __46__. My parents thought all of this was a grand idea and called Betsy’s dad with their __47__.
Our __48__ in the factory were simple：Place cakes on a moving belt. Attach icing(糖霜) ears. Apply icing eyes and nose. __49__ bunny from the belt. This was __50__ than it sounds. __51__ a bit and the cakes pile up. As I told my parents at dinner that first night, it was all a little more high-pressure than I’d __52__.
Dad __53__. The son of a grocer, he’d spent the summers of his childhood __54__ food in Bernardsville, New Jersey. This was the sort of work that made you __55__ the dollars you earned and respect those who did the work, he told me.

56. 【答案】What
【解析】考查名词性从句。分析句子结构并结合语境可知, 本空引导主语从句, 且在从句中作主语, 意为“……的事物” 。本空位于句首, 首字母应大写, 故填What。
57. 【答案】humans
【解析】考查名词复数。本空作we的同位语, 故应该用名词的复数形式。
58. 【答案】undoubtedly
【解析】考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知, 空处作状语修饰动词help, 故填undoubtedly。
59. 【答案】hotter
【解析】考查形容词比较级。根据语境可知气温越低, 温泉就越热。本空所在句使用了“the＋比较级, the＋比较级” 结构表示“越……越……” , 故本空填hot的比较级hotter。
60. 【答案】astonished

61. 【答案】was
【解析】考查时态和主谓一致。句中有时间状语then, 因此这里说的是当初人们把那些石头放在固定的位置上很难, 且it为第三人称单数, 故本空填was。
62. 【答案】and
【解析】考查连词。本空连接两个谓语动词(highlights和offers), 表示并列关系, 因此这里填并列连词and。
63. 【答案】aching
【解析】考查非谓语动词。本空在句中作定语, ache与中心词legs是逻辑上的主动关系, 故用现在分词aching。
64. 【答案】mine
【解析】考查代词。与前面的it will always stick in the visitor’s memory呼应, 这里表示It sure sticks in my memory, 因此本空填名词性物主代词mine。

Youth and Me
Believe it or not, the first time I happened to read the newspaper Youth a couple of months ago, I felt an urge to finish reading it in one breath. From then on, I became one of its keen readers, never missing a single issue of it. While many columns leave a deep impression on me, the column that stands out most is none other than the one where you regularly put articles about foreign cultures and the most efficient ways of learning English. I feel privileged to have been introduced to your newspaper, which definitely contributes a lot to my progress in English study. It’s my sincere hope that the newspaper will be more popular among us students.

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a. m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain. Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning. Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

【答案】参考范文
As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father appeared. Seeing the mess in the kitchen, he immediately understood what had happened, but he wasn’t upset. Instead, he applied some medicine to Jeff’s hand, and then set out to help them clean up the mess, throwing away the burnt toast. Next, they began to make breakfast, and by now the twins looked cheerful. Before long, the porridge was ready. Their father instructed them to fry the rest of the bread. Soon, the breakfast was ready, too.
The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. Opening her eyes, she couldn’t believe what she had seen. Before she could ask any question, their father turned up and told his wife about how the twins had made preparations to give her the surprise breakfast, and what trouble they had gone through when making the porridge and toast. Disbelief gave way to excitement and pride. Hugging them in her arms, she said, “Thank you, children. It’s such an unforgettable Mother’s Day for me.”
