I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. ‎ ‎ My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee ‎ table.‎ ‎ I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.‎ ‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being. ‎ ‎21 . Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule? ‎ ‎ A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. ‎ ‎ B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working. ‎ ‎ C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better. ‎ ‎ D. Move an object out of the way before it traps someone. ‎ ‎22. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______. ‎ A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor ‎ B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company ‎ D. finish her work before the deadline approached ‎23. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. ‎ ‎ A. avoided B. lacked C. abandoned D. took ‎24. What is the best title for the passage? ‎ A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind ‎ B Security guard, truck driver, salesperson---year after year, these jobs appear on lists of the unhappiest careers. Although many factors can make a job unhappy, unusual hours, low pay, no chance for advancement--- these three gigs stand out for another reason: a lack of small talk. ‎ Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is central to well-being, but just how much conversation we require is under investigation. In one study, researchers eavesdropped(窃听) on undergraduates for four days, then cataloged each overheard conversation as either small talk (What do you have there? Popcorn?(Yummy!) or serious (So did they get divorced soon after?). They found that the second type related with happiness---the happiest students had roughly twice as many serious talks as the unhappiest ones. Small talk, meanwhile, made up only 10 percent of their conversation, versus almost 30 percent of conversation among the least content students. ‎ However, don't just consider chat worthless yet. Scientists believe that small talk could promote linking. Chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago travelers varying directions about whether to talk with fellow train passengers something they typically avoided. Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey than those told to enjoy your being alone or to do whatever they normally would. ‎ None of the chatters reported being rejected. And the results held for introverts（内向者） and extroverts（外向者）alike which makes sense, since acting extroverted has a positive effect on introverts. ‎ Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at, made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the business. Similarly, one not yet published paper found that when volunteers broke the silence of the Tate Modern to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.‎ So go ahead, pry. Chitchat needn’t be idle. And nosiness isn’t all bad.‎ ‎25. The author attributes the unhappiness felt by security guards, truck drivers and sales people to______.‎ A. unusual hours and low pay B. a lack of small talk C. no chance for advancement D. an absence of serious conversation 26 What was the conclusion of the study mentioned in the second paragraph? ‎ A． Connecting with others is central to our well-being ‎ B． We require 30 minutes of conversation every day to be happy C． serious conversation is linked to happiness D． small talk cannot help make us feel happy 27 The author used the Tate Modern example to demonstrate that____‎ A. connecting with others is key to our happiness B. unserious conversation could promote bonding C. small talk can help us feel connected to our surroundings ‎ D. smiling can help people gain a great sense of belonging ‎28. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ C City Varieties ‎ The Headrow. Leeds. Tel. 430808 ‎ Oct. 10-11 only A Night at the Varieties.

Groping For World ‎ D ‎ The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords (流行词). But often when we click through, we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time. We close the page, feeling we've been cheated. These types of headlines are called "click bait".‎ A headline on Businesslnsider.com reads: "This phrase will make you seem more polite". First, when you click through, you find another headline: "Four words to seem more polite." Then, on reading the article, you find it's actually an essay about sympathy. And what are the four words? They're "Wow, that sounds hard." On some video websites, you might encounter headlines such as "Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus". Turns out it's just some uninteresting dog footage (镜头).‎ Nowadays, with the popularity of social media, many news outlets tweet (推送) click bait links to their stories. These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline. These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people time by exposing news outlet click bait through social media. The Twitter account @SavedYouAClick, run by Jake Beckman, is one such example.‎ Beckman's method is to grab tweets linking to a story and retweet them with a click-saving comment. For example, CNET tweeted "So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but...", with a link to its coverage of Apple's product announcements. Beckman retweeted it with this comment attached: "... it hasn't been jailbroken yet."‎ Since founding the account, Beckman's Twitter experiment has brought him more than ‎ 131,000 followers. Beckman said that @SavedYouAClick is…"just my way of trying to help the Internet be less terrible." Asked about his goal, he said, "I'd love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first. I think there's an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more.‎ ‎32. The article on Businesslnsider.com turns out to be___.‎ A. useful suggestions on politeness B. an essay about another topic C. an article hard to understand D. a link to a video website ‎33. Why are readers often cheated by tricky headlines?‎ A. Social media has become more popular. B. Readers have questions to be solved.‎ C. Such headlines are fairly attractive. D. There're always stories behind them.‎ ‎34. Beckman attached his comment to CNET's tweet to ___‎ A. criticize CNET B. save readers' time C. advertise apple's new product D. tell readers something about iOS 8‎ ‎35. In the last paragraph, Beckman appeals that _____‎ A. publishers be more responsible for the link B. readers think about their needs before reading C. publishers provide more information for readers D. people work together to make the Internet less terrible ‎ 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分。共 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。‎ Customer service refers to the way that companies behave towards their customers. 36 However, many a time organizations don’t focus on customer relationship management, and that’s what makes customers angry, which is one of the reasons why companies lose their customers. 37 ‎ First of all, you need to realize the great value of the customers. It’s they who are the boss, and it’s because of them that you get your pay checks. So do take your customers seriously.‎ ‎ 38 You need to ask the customers the right kind of questions and think of the possible solutions which you can provide. Understand how they feel according to a particular situation, their body language, tone of voice and words they speak. Never make assumptions （臆断）and think that you know what the customers want.‎ ‎ 39 Treat customers as individuals and the best way to do that is using their first name and finding ways of praising them in a sincere way.‎ In addition, there are some other skills which will help you in serving your customers better. For example, once you finish solving the problem for the customers, before ending the call, always remember to ask if there is anything else you can do for them. End the call with a “thank you”. If the customers are angry, let them express their anger completely. 40 Once they’ve finished speaking, try to calm them down by apologizing.‎ In a word, always remember that if the customers remain happy, you’ll be in business.‎ A. Never interrupt or start speaking until they’ve finished.‎ B. You can bring in as many new customers as you want.‎ C. So customer service is important and you should know how to improve it.‎ D. Finding out the needs of the customers is another important customer service tip.‎ E. Making customers feel they are important is an excellent way to serve them ‎ ‎ better.‎ F. It’s the quality of service that determines whether the customer remains with the ‎ ‎ company.‎ G. More companies are finding that their customer service should not be limited to ‎ ‎ stores.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空 (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, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ For years, I had been searching for my mother.

Every summer, hundreds of turtles make 61 (they) way to and from the nearby ocean. While most manage to cover the short 62 (distant) , a handful 63 (be) stuck inside the railway tracks that lie between the ocean and popular park.‎ ‎ According to the local officials, as the turtles are trying to cross the tracks, a few fall in. Unable to climb out, they start to walk along the track. The problem arises when a 64 (trap) turtle is close to a railroad switch that is in process of shifting to accommodate an incoming train.‎ ‎ To save the precious animals, the officials teamed up 65 some engineers to create "turtle" tunnels. The tunnels provide a place for the turtles 66 (slip) into and protect them. They 67 help prevent costly train delays that occur every time a turtle gets caught in the switch.‎ Since the tunnels 68 ( create) in April, railway personnel have scooped up (舀取) ten turtles from the tunnels and 69 (safe) delivered them to the park. 70 Naoki Kamezaki, the head of the park puts it, saving the turtles is a "refreshing feeling".‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文，文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（/）,并在该句下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线（___），并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ 2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从11处起）不计分。‎ Dear Arthur, ‎ In your last letter, you told me about your sister’s spending too much time on Internet.
