Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to 1 how much I wanted to see France. Evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I knew that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 2 friends.

The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 5 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting until I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(协调人): there had been a death in my host parents‘ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to 6 out of one family‘s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I‘d have a 7 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation(诱惑)to speak my native language, I asked not to be 8 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 9 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian, the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CDs! In just a few hours, we knew we‘d be good friends for the rest of the 10 .
I left France with many 11 , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always 12 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 13 France we enjoyed together. I love how people can seem so different, but end up being so 14 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn‘t just to respect the French people but to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

Once upon a time, there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together. One day a family went to spend the day in the countryside, and one little boy left his socks there. Soon after 16 family left, a raccoon (浣熊) came by, found the socks, and decided to try them on. They fit so 17 (perfect), and he liked them so much, that he wouldn't take them off. He spent his days walking through the forest in his new socks.
All the animals talked 18 the racoon‘s new look, and some of them were a bit envious that he was getting so much attention. Before long, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels in shirts, rabbits in boots, moles(鼹鼠) with hats on, and even a bird 19 (wear) underpants!
Doctor Bear, the forest physician, would shake his head, telling people:― 20 can‘t be good. Animals don‘t wear clothes; we don‘t need them.‖ But no one listened to him, they said he was just old-fashioned, and ignorant of the latest trends. 21 , it wasn‘t long before the first consequences of fashion-fever began to take effect. Several times the squirrel snagged his shirt on tree bark, stopping him in mid-leap, and sending him plummeting to the ground from a great 22 (high). The mole tried to fit into his hole without first taking his hat off. He 23 (stick) in that hole all day. Even the racoon, thanks to his brightly coloured socks, slipped from one of the river rocks and almost drowned.
24 the injured came to see Doctor Bear, he gave them all the same prescription: ―Get rid of those clothes, because one day they‘re going to kill you.‖ Those 25 listened to the Doctor‘s advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realised that they didn‘t need clothes at all. Starting to wear them had been very silly, and they had only done it to make others envious of them, and to get attention.

A
A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan, in her favourite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport. Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, ―Oh, it‘s beautiful！‖
At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said ―Sayonara‖ and left immediately. Poor Geri was left astonished. What did she do wrong?
Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you're coming off a bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients (客户) casually dressed. The second mistake was Geri's handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. You chat about each other's cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safe keeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.
Then, the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. What is worse, Geri hadn't even given them a gift!
26. In the four Japanese gentlemen‘s eyes, Geri took their cards ______.
A. politely B. excitedly C. disrespectfully D. embarrassingly 27. Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?
A. Because they had finished the task. B. Because Geri felt embarrassed.
C. Because Geri had something more important to do. D. Because they couldn't bear Geri's behaviour any longer.
28. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word ―gaffe‖ is closest in meaning to ______.
A. ignorance B. error C. sadness D. carelessness 29. The third mistake Geri made was that she ______.
A. met her clients in jeans B. used her own card as a conversation starter C. took her clients‘ cards with one hand D. kept her clients‘ cards in a wrong place 30. What lesson can we draw from this story?
A. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. B. Honesty is the best policy. C. Think twice before you take any action. D. Don‘t claim to know what you don‘t know.
B
When Danny Bowman was at school, he was so desperate to attract girls, he spent 10 hours a day taking more than 200 selfies(自拍) trying to find the perfect image.
But his addiction, which began at the age of 15, caused him to drop out of school and lose almost 7 kilogrames in weight. He would take 10 photos of himself before he washed and would
3
sneak out of class three times every hour. At 16, he dropped out of school so he could focus on his addiction, and his appetite became worse.
He did not leave his house in Newcastle upon Tyne for six months, and when he failed to take the flawless shot, he tried to kill himself by taking an overdose.
The 19-year-old believed to be Britain‘s first selfie addict, has now had therapy to treat his technology addiction, OCD (强迫性神经官能症) and Body dimorphic disorder — an excessive anxiety about personal appearance.
He has not taken a picture of himself in seven months, and has realized that achieving perfection is impossible. He told the Sunday Mirror:―I was constantly in search of taking the perfect selfie and when I realized I couldn‘t, I wanted to die. I lost my friends, my education, my health and almost my life. The only thing I cared about was having my phone with me so I could satisfy the urge to capture a picture of myself at any time of the day.‖He would look at photos of his―idol‖Leonardo Di Caprio and would then copy his poses. Danny‘s dream was to become a male model.
The selfie craze has grown in past five years, with stars, politicians and even Pope Francis posting getting involved in the sensation. But one psychologist at a clinic where Danny was treated said the addiction with taking selfies has now become a mental illness. Now determined to raise awareness of the anxiety disorder, Danny is working with Fixers---a national charity helping young people to―fix‖the issues that bother them. He said their help has kept him alive and called on others to seek help before they end up in hospital. 31. Why did Danny spend 10 hours a day taking more than 200 selfies at school? A. He wanted to lose some weight. B. He was eager to attract girls.
C. He planned to be a male model. D. He was satisfied with himself. 32. What is the most serious symptom about Danny? A. He sneaked out of class three times every hour. B. He dropped out of school so he could focus on selfies. C. He tried to kill himself by taking too much medicine. D. He looked at photos of his―idol‖and replicated his poses. 33. What can be inferred about the description of Danny‘s selfie? A. He was on the way to normal.
B. He cared about nothing except his own image.
C. He realized that achieving perfection was impossible.
D. He called on others to seek help before ending up in hospital. 34. What made Danny change both physically and mentally?
A. His teacher‘s care. B. The classmates‘ friendship. C. The treatment at a clinic. D. His work with Fixers. 35. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage? A. To introduce a strange person. B. To remind us of a kind of mental disease.
C. To warn the terrible effect of selfies addiction. D. To appeal to us to remove the habit of selfies.
C
Today we‘ll talk about reading. When we read a text, our eyes move across a page in short,
4
quick movements. We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate (凝视). Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span(视幅). The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person. It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. In addition, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
Unfortunately, in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For example, in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids, so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（连续的）fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated (孤立的) words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
36. What factors can not affect the time of the recognition span?
A. Lighting and tiredness. B. The length of a group of words. C. One‘s purpose in reading. D. One‘s familiarity with the text. 37. The author may believe that reading ______.
A. demands more eyes than mind
B. requires a reader to see words more quickly C. demands a deeply-participating mind
D. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
38. What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A. The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading． B. The reading exercises mentioned are useless for reading. C. The reading exercises mentioned can‘t help improve reading. D. The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far. 39. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time. B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training. C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.
D.The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text. 40. The tune of the author in writing this text is ______.
A. critical B. neutral C. supportive D. optimistic
D
Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children‘s bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.
Scientists measured this by studying the ends of children‘s chromosomes(染色体), called
5
telomeres, says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.
Telomeres are special DNA sequences which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.
Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.
In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children‘s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children‘s telomeres—in cells obtained by swabbing the insides of their cheeks — at ages 5 and 10.
Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.
Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says.
The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School. 41. The new study found that ______.
A. violence leaves scars on a child‘s mind B. hardship can change a child‘s aging C. violence can speed up a child‘s aging D. hardship has a long-term effect on a child‘s mind
42. According to the text, telomeres ______.
A. can make a cell die quickly B. can help prevent DNA from separating C. become shorter before they die D. are at the ends of people‘s chromosomes 43. All of the following things can shorten telomeres EXCEPT ______.
A. smoking B. cell division C. maltreatment D. doing exercise 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Violence can cause quick cell division in children‘s body.
B. Being treated badly will make a child‘s telomeres shorten faster.
C. Researchers measured the children‘s telomeres from their legs in the study. D. Children who have shorter telomeres may have a heart attack earlier. 45. What is the best title for the text?
A. Violence Aging Children‘s DNA B. Violence and Telomeres
C. The Function of Telomeres D. Children‘s Changing DNA Patterns

Seeking to reduce the amount of garbage in the city, Hangzhou, capital of East China‘s Zhejiang Province, is experimenting with a measure to ?name and shame‘ those who fail to put garbage in the right place.
At the Dongpinggang Community on Hubing Road, people should mark their household numbers on garbage bags before throwing them away, and there are now inspectors staying beside the dustbins, evaluating the classification of garbage.
The regulations on garbage classification require people to put garbage into four separate bins labeled recyclable waste, harmful waste, kitchen waste and other waste. A total of 843 residential(住宅区的) areas, about 55 percent of the city‘s total, have adopted this measure.
The results of the evaluation are posted in a diagram near the dustbins. The households which have correctly sorted more than 80 percent of their garbage will be marked in green，those with less than 40 percent garbage correctly sorted are marked in red and the rest in yellow.

第二节 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分） 参考范文
People in Hangzhou are required to classify the garbage and write their household numbers on garbage bags before disposing of them. Inspectors evaluate the classification of garbage and post the results.
Similar to Hangzhou, the city where I live also requires people to sort their garbage. Those who
9
fail to dispose of garbage correctly will be fined.
While it may bring some inconvenience to people, the advantages of garbage classification are obvious. As we know, there are large quantities of recyclable things in garbage, such as paper, cans and plastic bottles. By sorting out these things, we can not only reduce the amount of garbage, but also transform garbage into useful things. On the contrary, if the garbage is not classified, recyclable things may be buried or burned together with other garbage, wasting more land, consuming more energy and causing more environmental pollution.
So useful is garbage classification that I hope all citizens will start our small to adopt some measures. First of all, we need to learn how to classify garbage clearly. Then it will be very necessary for everyone to pack different trash reasonably. For example, use hard paper to wrap broken glass and toothpicks. Just dispose the garbage bags on time to avoid animals scratching. These are just some of the tips for green living, but of course there are still many of these tips if you just search for them. If we can try any time and just always prioritize how we can produce even lesser trash, we human will enjoy a healthier life.
