My flight had been delayed and I heard an announcement: “If anyone near Gate A – 4 understands Arabic(阿拉伯语)，please come to the gate immediately. ” Gate A – 4 was my own gate. I went there.‎ An older woman was crumpled (蜷缩成一团的) on the floor, she reminded me of my grandmother. ‎ ‎“Talk to her,” urged the flight agent. “We told her the flight was going to be late, and she did this.”‎ I bent over to put my arm around the woman and spoke uncertainly. “Shu-dow-a, shu-bid-uck, habibti? She stopped crying. She thought the flight had been canceled. She needed to be in El Paso for a medical treatment the next day. I said, “You’ll get there, just late. Who is picking you up? Let’s call him.”‎ We called her son. In English, I told him that I would stay with his mother until we got on the plane. She talked with him. Then we called her other sons just for fun. Then we called my dad, and they spoke for a while in Arabic and found out that they had several shared friends. After that, I called some Palestinian poets I know and let them chat with her. ‎ She was laughing a lot by then, patting my knee and answering questions. She pulled a bag of home-made cookies filled with nuts and topped with sugar from her bag and offered them to the women at the gate. To my amazement, no one refused. It was like a sacrament (圣餐). The traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo —we were all smiling, covered with the same sugar.‎ I looked around that gate and thought: This is the world I want to live in, one with no anxiety. This can still happen anywhere, I thought. Not everything is lost.‎ ‎24. What can we learn about the author?‎ A. She was highly skilled in speaking Arabic.‎ B. Her grandmother saw her off at the airport. ‎ C. She took the same flight with the older woman.‎ D. Her father was an acquaintance of the older woman. ‎ ‎25.

Her flight was canceled because of bad weather.‎ D. She thought she couldn’t make it for her treatment.‎ ‎26. Which words can best describe the author?‎ A. Brilliant. B. Considerate.‎ C. Generous. D. Extraordinary.‎ ‎27. What could be the best title for this passage?‎ A. A Delayed Flight in Albuquerque B. A Strange Palestinian Woman C. Cookies at Gate A – 4 D. A Wonderful World C Standing in line for the latest iPhone at the Apple store, queueing for tickets to Wimbledon or even just waiting at the post office might just have got a lot easier. Japanese car-maker Nissan （尼桑）claims to have just the thing to relieve the sore(酸痛的) legs of tired queuers. ‎ The new system of “self-driving” chairs is designed to detect when someone at the front of the queue is called, and automatically move everyone else one step forward in line. The new invention is shown off in a company video, which shows a busy restaurant with customers waiting outside.‎ In the video, diners are sitting in a row of chairs, but will not have to stand when the next hungry diner is called to a table. Instead, the chairs, equipped with autonomous technology that detects the seat ahead, move along a path toward the front of the line. When the person at the front of the queue is called, the empty chair at the front can sense it is empty and so moves out of pole position. Cameras on the remaining chairs then sense the movement and follow automatically.‎ The system, which is similar to the kind used in Nissan’s autonomous vehicle technology, will be tested at selected restaurants in Japan this year. Nissan said. “It appeals to anyone who has queued for hours outside a crowded restaurant: it eliminates the boredom and physical pain of standing in line,” Nissan added. ‎ Although Tokyo has some 160,000 restaurants, long queues are not uncommon. Chosen restaurants that meet the criteria will be able to show the chairs outside their restaurant next year. Nissan also released a short video showing the chairs being used in an art gallery, moving slowly in front of the various paintings to let viewers appreciate the art without the need to stand up.‎ ‎28. What can we know about the “self-driving” chairs from the text?‎ A. They are in hot demand like iPhone.‎ B. They are intended for queueing diners.‎ C. They are the invention of a car company.‎ D. They are completely different from vehicle technology.‎ ‎29. What enables the chairs to detect the seat ahead?‎ A. Pole position. B. Autonomous technology. ‎ C. Cameras equipped on them. D. Sensors equipped along the path.‎ ‎30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Steals. B. Reduces. C. Removes. D. Hides.‎ ‎31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?‎ A. Queueing is a rare scene outside Japanese restaurants.‎ B. “Self-driving” chairs are the most useful in art galleries.‎ C. Japanese people prefer eating in restaurants to at home.‎ D. “Self-driving” chairs haven’t been in official use in restaurants.‎ D ‎ Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable part of all children’s education, according to a new research.‎ Dr. Helen Lees, from Stirling‎ ‎University’s school of education, says that “enforced ‎ ‎(强制的) silence” is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress children’s natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence” — deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environment — can have a significant effect on pupils’ concentration and behaviour.‎ It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils’ academic ability.‎ A study almost a decade ago in London found that children’s exam results were cut by as much as a third if they taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of ‎26℃‎ to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions and some educationalists claim that too much clutter(杂乱的东西) on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.‎ Dr. Lees said: “When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outcomes, better self-confidence and well-being measures, enforced silence in a person’s life and an individual’s education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit.”‎ Dozens of schools across Britain already introduce periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.‎ Kevin Hogston, head of Sheringdale Primary, south London, has just introduced a minute’s silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.‎ ‎32. According to Dr. Helen Lees, “enforced silence” _____________.‎ A. is an effective way of punishment B. does not make much sense in class C. can improve pupils’ confidence D. can make pupils more creative ‎33. The underlined word, “suppress”, in the second paragraph probably means “_________”.‎ A. prevent something from developing B. make something better than before C. get something back D. unite with something.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred from the research on school settings?‎ A. Students are more creative if taught in noisy classrooms.‎ B. Silence makes a great difference to pupils.‎ C. Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate.‎ D. Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures.‎ ‎35. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. How to arrange classroom settings.‎ B. How to achieve silence in class.‎ C. Encouraging pupils in class is beneficial.‎ D. Keeping quiet in class can improve academic ability.‎ 第一节 ‎（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ A rejection letter is one of those letters that are not very easy to write. 36 . For example, organizations usually have to send rejection letters to applicants they cannot hire. So how to write a rejection letter?‎ Make the words professional and proper What matters most in a rejection letter is the professional tone and wording. 37 . Instead, your choice of words should make the reader feel that he or she would do the same thing if they were in your place.‎ Keep it clear and simple ‎ 38 . Nobody likes to read a long, winding rejection letter. Therefore, it is better to deliver the message of rejection in the beginning itself. Clearly state that you have decided to reject the request or application. Don’t beat about the bush and don’t try to give the impression that your decision could change. 39 . Explain why your decision is good for everyone.‎ ‎ 40 ‎ Conclude with a statement of goodwill(友好). You may have rejected this application, but if you intend to consider this person for another job in the future, you may express that as well. However, that isn’t always necessary. In some situations such endings might offend(冒犯) the reader.‎ A. End on a positive note B. Make your decision as soon as possible C. Never give away what you are going to do ‎ D. Briefly state how you came to your decision E. A rejection letter doesn’t have to be necessarily long F. Don’t write anything that may make the reader feel bad G. Although writing a rejection letter can be difficult, there are situations when it’s ‎ absolutely necessary. ‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20 小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took the subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. The following account of what happened to me has taught me much about culture 41 .‎ Since all the    42    were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag.    43    I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion(动作), I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash it was    44   . I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or any    45   . My heart sank and I began to    46   .‎ I glanced around the car only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my    47   . I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to    48    it up, she quickly grabbed(抓住) it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any    49    of the situation. Trying not to cause a(an)   50   , I tried to negotiate ‎ through gestures. I used my hands as best as I could, but she    51    my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how    52    it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to    53   me.‎ At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag,    54    it on her lap. They didn’t talk;    55    this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.‎ As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman    56    handed me back my bag. But    57   I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.‎ Sadly, this considerate custom was more    58   to me than if I had been robbed. Everyone back home had heard of being robbed—that was    59   city behavior—but having a stranger hold onto someone’s bag out of    60   , in a city of twelve million people—that was truly unusual.‎ ‎41.
