President-elect of the United States on November 8，2016．Since 1971 he has chaired The Trump Organization，the principal holding company for his real estate ventures and other business interests．During his business career，Trump has built office towers，hotels，casinos，golf courses，and other branded facilities worldwide．‎ Trump was born and raised in New York City and received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the Wharton Schoo1 of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968．In 1971，he was given control of his father Fred Trump’s real estate and construction firm．Trump has appeared at the Miss USA pageants，which he owned from 1996 to 2015，and has made cameo appearances in films and television series．‎ Trump and his businesses，as well as his three marriages，have received prominent media exposure．He hosted a popular NBC reality show，The Apprentice，from 2004 to 2015．As of 2016，he was listed by Forbes as the 324th wealthiest person in the world，and 156th in the United States，with a net worth of $3．7 billion in October 2016．‎ Trump first campaigned for the U．S．presidency in 2000，winning two Reform Party primaries．On June 16，2015，Trump again announced his candidacy for president，this time as a Republican．Trump became known for his opposition to illegal immigration and free trade agreements，as well as his frequently non-interventionist views on foreign policy，and quickly emerged as

the United States C It is reported that in the near future robots and humans will probably work together to create jazz．A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with human being in a project．‎ Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot．To start with，the Telenoid will be trained to imitate(模仿)the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer，and then connect music with different human emotions．‎ ‎ Previous robots had the ability to find common connections between things．But Chella suggests that a conscious robot should be able to go a step further and find new connections．The Telenoid is of this kind．“This work raises interesting questions about the connection between consciousness and music creating，”says Philippe Pasquier．A musician needs a physical body．‎ ‎ Pasquier argues that the robot musician is faced with a big challenge．“Its software has already been developed and it can imitate The Beatles，a famous band．However，what made The Beatles famous were not only their songs but their wonderful performance of the songs，”he says．‎ ‎ It is not clear how a robot would perform music in a new way．But by imitating humans，the Telenoid robot could provide some useful information．What is important is that human musicians often listen to and compare music made by others for a long time before creating music of their own．So the Telenoid robot had better listen to more jazz music first．‎ ‎28．What will the Telenoid robot be taught to do first?‎ A．Communicate with human beings．‎ B．Connect music with human emotions．‎ C．Live and work comfortably with human beings．‎ D．Imitate the movements and simple sounds of a human singer．‎ ‎29．In Pasquier’s opinion，the Telenoid robot________. ‎ A．will replace human musicians soon B．may have trouble performing music C．will become more popular than The Beatles D．can find connections between things that humans cannot find ‎30．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?‎ A．The Telenoid，future robot musician．‎ B．How to teach robots to perform music．‎ C．The right music the robots should listen to．‎ D．Differences between a human singer and a robot musician．‎ ‎31．In which part of a newspaper would we most probably read this passage?‎ A．Arts． B．Entertainment． C．Science． D．Education．‎ D I am reading a novel at the moment，a story set in Britain and India in the 19th century．It was written by an Indian author who now lives in Denmark，but neither in the language of Hindi nor Danish．Although the paperback edition I’m holding was published in New Delhi，India，four years ago，I(an American)purchased it recently from a second-hand bookshop in Tokyo，Japan．‎ That’s quite a history already．But there’s more．‎ The novel is a tale of various mysteries，all expertly put into a well-structured story by a very，skillful author．Yet my particular copy presents even more mysteries than the tale．‎ One summer morning in the year of my paperback’s publication—on July 15，2012—someone else was reading it while eating breakfast in a restaurant in Mumbai，India．‎ I know this because I found a receipt(收据)of coffee and bread inside．I also know that this person was not the owner of the paperback immediately before me．‎ In fact，the owner before me was not Indian at all，but Japanese．‎ I know this because in the book there are handwritten notes in Japanese—translations of English words which the reader was unfamiliar．Japanese being a language of characters，not letter，it is not easy to determine if the note writer was a man or a woman．But the care taken to write the translations neatly in the limited spaces available on each page bespeaks a woman’s hand．‎ So let us agree that it is a woman．What can we say of her? Well educated，obviously，and probably a university student，who would keep a dictionary at hand while reading a novel．‎ But why did she suddenly stop reading? The last translation in my paperback appears on Page 83，less than a third of the way through the novel．Did she give up because the book was proving too difficult? Or was there some other reason?‎ Many a novel presents mysteries，all of which are solved by the end of the tale．The mysteries presented by my little paperback，however，remain mysteries，all expertly put into a ‎ well-structured story，not by a skillful writer，but this time by the numberless vagaries(变幻莫测)of life itself．‎ ‎32．What can we learn about the novel?‎ A．It is well written．‎ B．It is about a world trip．‎ C．It was written in an American restaurant．‎ D．It was first published in the 19th century．‎ ‎33．The author assumes the Japanese owner of the book was a woman based on_______. ‎ A．the pretty handwriting B．the food written on the receipt C．the good condition of the book D．the effort taken in writing the notes ‎34．Which of the following can best describe the author?‎ A．He is a great reader of historical fiction．‎ B．He is a hard-working university student．‎ C．He is a productive writer with sensibility．‎ D．He is a careful observer with imagination．‎ ‎35．What’s the best title of the text?‎ A．The Tale of a Paperback B．Different Life Experiences C．Unsolved Mysteries of Life D．A Book’s Exciting Adventure 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。‎ Choosing the Right Path to Be a“Better”Person Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement．In the rush to achieve，the idea of being“better”can become lost sometimes．You may always wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way． 36 ‎ Explore your talents．‎ ‎ Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests．So it’s often necessary to be patient and try many things before you find one that suits you．‎ ‎ 37 For example，people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club，but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be．Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you’11 enjoy．‎ ‎ 38 ‎ No matter how much money you make．you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate．It’s important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy．‎ If you’re particularly unhappy at your job，consider why． 39 If you feel your job isn’‎ t meaningful，or isn’t in line with your values，consider finding another job．‎ Experience something new．‎ Research has shown that when we’re in our comfort zone，we aren’t as productive as we are when we step just beyond it． 40 Because of that，we may react slowly to our own positive experiences and interactions with others，even when those are little scary．Doing so can help you achieve more．‎ ‎ A．Do what you love．‎ ‎ B．Here are some tips for you．‎ ‎ C．Register in a class you’re interested in．‎ ‎ D．Humans adapt very quickly to positive events．‎ ‎ E．It’s possible that some changes may change your feeling．‎ ‎ F．Similar types of people may be attracted to the same activities．‎ ‎ G．Try not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life．‎ 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ At primary school in New Zealand，I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks．When our money box was 41 ，we took it to the bank and watched with 42 as our coins flowed across the counter．As a 43 ，we could choose our next money 44 from a small variety，and start the whole savings 45 again．Every week I watched my parents 46 the housekeeping(家务开支)and“make ends meet”．Sometimes it was 47 to wait for things we really felt we needed．‎ Later，as a university student，I 48 on an extremely small student allowance．Students were 49 by banks then，because we were so 50 and there was no way I could have gotten credit，even if I had tried．We 51 our allowance three times each year，put it into a bank to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last 52 the next payout of the allowance．‎ When our daughter，Sophie，began to walk，we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money 53 ．We often comment when the TV tells us“You 54 it to yourself to borrow our money”—to whom do we really owe it? And what would happen if our income were 55 or dried up? Now，as a 12-year-old child，it’s almost 56 to see her tight “financial policy”．and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy 57 she wants．‎ I agree that 58 education in schools is very important．But the root of the problem 59 with us and the way we behave as role models to those who 60 ．‎ ‎41．A．full B．empty C．rare D．valuable ‎42．A．pain B．pride C．mercy D．relief ‎43．A．basis B．result C．respect D．reward ‎44．A．bag B．account C．box D．package ‎45．A．routine B．charge C．competition D．devotion ‎46．A．turn out B．take out C．sort out D．send out ‎47．A．amazing B．annoying C．amusing D．frightening ‎48．A．tried B．studied C．managed D．quitted ‎49．A．earned B．inspected C．employed D．ignored ‎50．A．attractive B．secure C．pitiful D．poor ‎51．A．collected B．donated C．deserved D．solved ‎52．A．after B．until C．unless D．as ‎53．A．personally B．casually C．wisely D．selflessly ‎54．A．own B．owe C．try D．settle ‎55．A．increased B．fixed C．checked D．reduced ‎56．A．embarrassing B．shocking C．amusing D．boring ‎57． A．that B．where C．which D．what ‎58．A．medical B．academic C．financial D．political ‎59．A．1ies B．1ives C．agrees D．ties ‎60．A．allow B．follow C．admit D．prefer 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共60分)‎ 第二节 (共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ ‎ Have you ever noticed how hard it can be to find the right words?
