My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year.‎ ‎ Through my stay in Montreal, I met lots of Chinese who are struggling to succeed and then lead a better life in Canada.‎ ‎ Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while switching between English and French.‎ ‎ Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They miss their families and friends. Though Montreal has lots of Chinese restaurants, they long for a home-cooked meal.‎ ‎ I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn’t regret taking the trip.‎ ‎ Not all the Chinese people I met were happy. I once met a young lady who met with a gentleman through the Internet. However, to her disappointment, he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal.‎ ‎ I was served by another Chinese person who could not handle the challenges of studying in an English environment and ended up working in a restaurant with minimum pay.‎ Exploring different parts of the world, without any doubt, is an enriching experience. However, one should be realistic when it comes to leaving his hometown to set up a new life in a foreign country. One should take the time to examine the advantages and the shortcomings of the venture before they decide to chase an uncertain dream of achieving success or leading a better life.‎ ‎24. The writer went to her hometown to ______.‎ ‎ A. prepare for her retirement life B. study a new language ‎ ‎ C. go on with her teaching D. meet her old friends ‎25. The main barrier for some Chinese to get knowledge in Canada is ______.‎ ‎ A. Food B. Homesickness C. income D. Language ‎26. The writer thinks that ______.‎ ‎ A. people should think carefully before chasing the dreams abroad ‎ B. the trip to Montreal is a good chance for people to study ‎ C. overseas Chinese feel disappointed at their life in Canada ‎ ‎ D. overseas Chinese are good at communication in Canada ‎ ‎27. What is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Improving Life Skills in Canada B. Exploring Different Parts of Canada ‎ ‎ C. Going to Canada—Your Ideal Destination D. Struggling for a Better Life in Canada ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ C When Taking an Uber—Should You Tip or Not?‎ Taking an Uber car may no longer be a direct driver-passenger and guilt-free experience. The ride-sharing experience is about to get awkward.‎ With the wide application of the Internet, Uber, a new approach to your destination instead of taking an ordinary taxi, has become more popular recently. However, benefits won’t come without its fair share of drawbacks.‎ Uber drivers are a part of the so-called sharing economy: They use their own vehicles, receive customer reviews via the app’s five-star rating system and make their own hours. Unlike other services, Uber claimed that drivers all over the country could clearly alert customers that tipping is not included. Those drivers that expect to be tipped can make their wishes known. But the company is holding to its official no-tip-required line, according to its website. “Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file—There’s no need to tip.” ‎ Although drivers value their independence—the freedom to push a button rather than punch a clock, lack of a clear policy, however, leaves Uber drivers in a vulnerable(脆弱的) position: If they ask a customer for a tip or put up a sign, that customer could give the driver a low star-rating, and the driver could finally be deactivated from the app.‎ But has the company done a good job working with customers? Some observers say that this new grey area for tipping will create awkwardness about whether they should tip or not—something most Uber customers have not had to deal with until now. Uber did not respond to customers’ comment, just leaving their rating in the air（ignoring it）.‎ Providing an option to tip on an app sends a clear message to customers to reach into their pockets. Nearly 30% people would be more likely to leave a tip if they were presented with a “no tip” button, according to Guinn’s 2015 survey of roughly 500 people. When people are presented with three tip choices—20%, 25% or 30%—they’re more likely to choose the middle option even if it’s more than the traditional 20%, according to a separate 2014 analysis of 13 million New York City taxi rides. ‎ If the service is twice as expensive during a rain storm or public transport delay, the customer has the right not to tip. However, if the driver is extra helpful or avoids traffic to reach your destination in a more timely manner, you could give an extra tip, says Uber, who will leave tipping options in the hands of the consumer rather than the app.‎ ‎28. Compared with taxi drivers, Uber drivers ______.‎ A. support the company’s practice B. enjoy more freedom and choices ‎ C. clock up the miles while driving D. receive customers reviews directly ‎ ‎29.The underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______. A. removed B. tracked C. degraded D. charged ‎30. From the survey we can conclude most customers ______.‎ ‎ A. usually do as the “no tip” sign suggests B. would probably tip if there is an option C. tip because of Uber drivers’ good service D. are disappointed to reach into their pockets ‎31. What causes the awkwardness between Uber drivers and their customers?‎ ‎ A. Customers take advantage of the new grey area for tipping.‎ ‎ B. It’s up to customers to decide the drivers’ earnings.‎ ‎ C. There is no specific policy from the Uber to follow.‎ ‎ D. Customers tend to pay least among the 3 choices.‎ D Finding the Real You Psychometric testing — personality testing — has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) and are widely used in the selection of managers.‎ The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking.‎ Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “social engineering”. Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the “popular” personality traits (特性) have their disadvantages. “People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies, going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them.” However, the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. “It’s possible to cheat,” admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived.”‎ So can we change our personality? “Your basic personality is fixed by the time you’re 21,” says Gill, “but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn’t have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it’s why we’re seeing this trend for downshifting — too many people trying to fit in to a type that they aren’t really suited for.”‎ Our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, you’ll probably be quizzed about your personality. But if personality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential, and remind us of what we are. As they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.‎ ‎32. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that __________.‎ A. certain personality traits are common ‎ B. personality is largely decided from birth C. some personality types are better than others ‎ D. personality traits are various from time to time ‎33. According to Dr. Gill, what is the problem with personality tests?‎ A. The results could be opposite to what employers want. ‎ B. Employers often find the results unclear.‎ C. People can easily lie about their true abilities. ‎ D. They may have a negative effect on takers.‎ ‎34. In Dr. Gill’s view, how easy is it to change your personality?‎ A. It’s possible in your adult life. ‎ B. It’s easy if you have great motivation.‎ C. It’s difficult before the age of 21. ‎ D. It’s unlikely because it requires much energy.‎ ‎35. What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests?‎ A. They may encourage greater realism. ‎ B. They are not really worth doing.‎ C. They can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities. ‎ D. They are of doubtful value to employers.‎ 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Love Your Parents ‎ Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life．You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are． 36． ‎ ‎ Tell them you love them every morning．A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart．Remember that they brought you into this world．Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world．‎ ‎ Respect them more and cherish these moments．You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own．It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents．Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend． 37． ‎ ‎ Obey their requests． It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them．It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean．However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot．Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes． 38． Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?‎ ‎ Keep company with them．Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them． 39． Listen to their old stories and learn from them． You will find they are your teachers in this way or another．‎ ‎ Some people simply may not be able to love their parents． 40． Seek help if you are being abused（虐待）in anyway．Parents do not have a right to harm you．‎ A.

At the same time, if you have difficulties, you can turn to teachers and classmates for help.‎ Yours LiMing 录音稿 ‎ (Text 1)‎ W: Shall we organize a party for Mum’s birthday? M: Oh, I haven’t got time.

Actually I’m facing a few problems at work and I’m not really sure how to deal with ‎ them.‎ M: What sort of problems?‎ W: Well, we’ve just got a new boss and he’s expecting us to start work at 8 o’clock in the morning. Of course that’s causing problems for me at home because it means my husband has to take the children to school every morning, which is making him late for work.‎ M: Oh dear. I know how you feel. I had to deal with the similar problem last year.‎ W: How did you deal with it?‎ M: Well, I didn’t at first and that created an even worse situation. The traffic is so bad nowadays that I was leaving the house at 6:30 every morning to get there in time. Then I realized I would have to address the problem sooner or later, so I raised the problem with my boss.‎ W: Did you manage to settle it?‎ M: Yes, he is great. He said he hadn’t realized that the early start would present a problem and he agreed to let me start half an hour later.‎ W: That’s great. I’m sure my boss has no idea how much trouble he’s caused. Perhaps I should deal with it in the same way.‎ 听下面一段独白，回答第17至第20四个小题。现在，你有20秒钟的时间阅读这四个小题。(Text 10) ‎ M: This is the Arts Festival Box Office.
