it quickly is a terrific conversation starter．‎ 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ I usually ask people to （1）　 　 it first． They turn the cube over in their hands， half﹣heartedly they make a few （2）　 　 and then awkwardly

Roman and medieval times， you may feel you've landed back in time， but the splendid row houses and people hustling about on smart﹣phones brings you out of that fantasy．‎ ‎ Bath somehow weaves together threads of small﹣town life with metropolitan style． It has galleries， museums and theaters． It's a college town anchored by the University of Bath． And it is a UNESCO World Heritage site． Even on a mere day trip from London，‎ 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ just 90 minutes away by train， Bath bubbles over with charm．‎ ‎ Bath Abbey ‎ An impressive landmark in the center of town， Bath Abbey is the third place of worship to occupy this site in 1，200 years． The first church， built in 757， was replaced by a cathedral soon after the Norman conquest of England in 1066． That one gave way in the 15th century to the Abbey that's there today．‎ ‎ Walk inside and eye the ceiling and stained glass windows showing 56 scenes from Christ's life． A floor plate marks Queen Elizabeth II's 1973 visit． Tours of the church tower are available．‎ ‎ Roman Baths ‎ The Roman Baths date back to the year 70，with a pool of natural， hot spring water called the Great Bath located below street level． You can see the steam swirling on the street above． People dressed in period clothing﹣such as a Roman soldier or stone mason﹣stand in the archways．‎ ‎ The complex includes several underground spaces and displays． The self﹣guided audio tour thoroughly explains how the citizens of Aquae Sulis （the Roman name given to Bath） socialized， worked and worshipped． At the end of the tour， visitors can sample some of that refreshing water．‎ ‎ Jane Austen Centre ‎ Novelist Jane Austen lived with family in Bath between 1801 and 1806． Avid readers of Austen's work know that Bath was a prominent setting in two of her books， Persuasion and Northanger Abbey． The Jane Austen Centre， a three﹣story building on Gay Street has a 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ permanent exhibit and tea room．‎ ‎ The exhibit offers two floors of clothes， anecdotes about what daily life would have been like for Austen in Bath． You can end your wandering with afternoon tea in the third﹣floor Regency Tea Room．‎ ‎ Royal Crescent ‎ This half﹣moon formation of Georgian townhouses is one of Bath's most famous architectural masterpieces， an arc﹣shaped cluster of buildings set behind a green field． The first home， No.1 Royal Crescent， where former Parliament member Henry Sanford lived in the late 1700s， is also a museum． Rooms are furnished in 18th century style， with a glimpse of the upstairs﹣downstairs lifestyle of the era（think Downton Abbey but 150 years earlier）．‎ ‎（1）According to the article， the following aspects of Bath are covered EXCEPT　 　．‎ A． history B． architecture C． transportation D． accommodation ‎（2）Which of the following statement is INCORRECT according to the passage？　 　‎ A． Bath Abbey occupied the site in the 15th century after several historical changes．‎ B． The Roman Baths are featured by a hot spring water， where you can tour around with the local guide．‎ C． Two of Jane Austin's books were set in Bath， where she lived for 5 years．‎ D． The rooms in No.1 Royal Crescent are furnished in 18th century style， resembling that of Downton Abbey．‎ ‎28．（6分）There are a couple of ways to forecast the destructive potential of a hurricane so that people in the way can take adequate precautions． Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds， but the estimates are often way off the mark． Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly， but the flights are costly．‎ 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way： listening to a storm underwater．‎ ‎ In a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters， Nicholas C． Makris and a former graduate student， Joshua D． Wilson， report a strong connection between the intensity of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the mid﹣Atlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it． They say that such microphones， known as hydrophones， could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane force．‎ ‎ Dr． Makris and Dr Wilson， who are now with Applied Physical Sciences Corporation， worked out the theory of underwater acoustic monitoring of storms in a 2005 paper． "To be very frank with you， it's a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater．" Dr． Makris said． The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating are bubbles（气泡振动）．‎ ‎ The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory， and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2，500 feet by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration． It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999， and a hurricane﹣hunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time． The hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storm's outside wind "wall" passed over， and again when the inside wall， the most destructive part of the storm near the eye， passed over． "We got a beautiful connection，" Dr． Makris said， "between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraft．"‎ ‎ Dr． Makris is conducting additional experiments， working with the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico． The eventual goal， he said， would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that could be easily laid by plane or ship in the path of a coming storm．‎ ‎（1）It can be inferred from the passage that　 　．‎ A． The scientists didn't gain any support from different fields．‎ B． Dr． Makris and Dr． Wilson have figured out what makes storms noisy underwater．‎ C． The scientists have found the relationship between the changes of sound intensity and the 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ force of the hurricane．‎ D． There are several creative ways for people to forecast the force of the coming hurricane．‎ ‎（2）Why is Dr． Makris now making other experiments with the help of the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico？　 　‎ A． To place permanent hydrophones in some zones．‎ B． To collect more images of cloud patterns．‎ C． To be secure in carrying out their experiments．‎ D． To get more information from the hurricane﹣hunter planes．‎ ‎（3）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？　 　‎ A． Ways to Stop the Destructive Force of a Hurricane B． Connection between the Intensity of Sound and the Wind Power of a Hurricane C． Hydrophones， Safe but Expensive Means of Estimating Hurricane Force D． Measuring a Hurricane by Sound Underwater ‎29．（8分）I have had a lifelong fascination﹣call it obsession if you like﹣with communication， with making links to other places， other cultures， other worlds． The roots of this obsession have often puzzled me． I am not﹣never have been﹣a gregarious person． Quite the opposite， I was a solitary child and my classmates at school and university always thought of me as a loner． I was never crazy about the noisy solidarity of social gatherings． So why was I possessed of a desire to make contact with distant places？‎ ‎ It can partly be explained by the start I had in life． I grew up on what seemed at the time like the edge of the world﹣in a remote part of rural Ireland， in a household with few books or magazines， and no television． Foreign travel was unheard of． Apart from those who emigrated to Great Britain or the United States， virtually nobody we knew had ever been abroad． Nobody ever went overseas on holiday， and no foreign languages were taught in the schools I attended﹣with the exception of Latin． We lived in a closed society that thought of itself as self﹣sufficient．‎ ‎ There was however one chink of light in the suffocating gloom﹣the radio， which we called "the wireless．" It was， by modern standards， a huge apparatus powered by valves﹣which is why it took some time to warm up﹣and a "magic eye" tuning indicator﹣a greenish 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ glass circle that winked at you as the signal waxed or waned． The best thing about our wireless， though， was that it had a shortwave band． This was the source of endless fascination to me， because it meant that even with this primitive device one could listen to the world． At first I couldn't understand how it worked． Why was reception so much better at night？ Why was it so infuriatingly variable？ I asked my father， who looked evasive and just said it had something to do with "the whachamacallit sphere" （he always called complicated things the whachamacallit）， but this gave me enough of a steer to go to the local library and start digging． In due course I discovered that he was referring to the ionosphere﹣a layer of charged particles high up at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere that acts as a kind of reflector for radio waves of certain frequencies． The reason shortwave radio could travel such huge distances was that it used the ionosphere to bounce signals round the world﹣which was why radio hams in Latin America or Australia could sometimes be heard by a young boy on the western seaboard of Ireland． Signals from such distant shores were more likely to get through at night because then the ionosphere was higher and transmission over longer distances was possible．‎ ‎ I was spellbound by this discovery of how technology could piggyback on a natural phenomenon to push forward low﹣power signals through immense distances． But most of all I was entranced by the idea of shortwave radio， for this was a technology which belonged not to great corporations or governments， but to people． It was possible， my father explained， to obtain a license to operate your own shortwave radio station． And all over the globe people held such licenses， which enabled them to sit in their back rooms and broadcast to the whole world． The world suddenly seemed wide open to me．‎ ‎（1）The second paragraph primarily serves to　 　．‎ A． reveal the author's attitude toward foreign cultures B． present information that sheds light on a certain preoccupation C． to display the author's nostalgia for his adolescence D． foreshadow the crucial difference between the author and his father ‎（2）The author considers his father's answer （in Paragraph 3）to be　 　．‎ A． incomplete but helpful 第50页（共50页）‎ B． humorous but meaningful C． lighthearted yet concerned D． silly and confusing ‎（3）Which of the following， if true， would most weaken the claim of operating a shortwave radio station？　 　‎ A． Many governments around the world do not regulate shortwave users B． Shortwave equipment is very inexpensive and is getting cheaper all the time C． Most individuals who apply for shortwave licenses are turned down．‎ D． Communications experts predict that the Internet will eventually replace shortwave radio．‎ ‎（4）The passage is primarily about the author's　 　．‎ A． decision to pursue a career in science B． acceptance of his family's sheltered outlook C． devotion to the study of emerging technology D． discovery of a medium's liberating potential ‎30．（12分）In this passage adapted from a novel， a Canadian woman recalls her childhood during the 1960s． Originally form China， the family traveled to Irvine， Ontario， Canada， where the parents opened a restaurant， the Dragon Café．‎ ‎ As a young child I never really thought about my parents' lives in Irvine， how small their world must have seemed， never extending beyond the dragon Café． Every day my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant． I watched the same customers come for meals， for morning coffee， for afternoon soft drinks and French fries． For my parents one day was like the next． They settled into an uneasy and distant relationship with each other． Their love， their tenderness， they gave to me．‎ ‎ But my life was changing． I became taller and bigger， my second teeth grew in white and straight． At school I began to learn about my adopted country． I spoke English like a native， without a trace of an accent． I played， though， and dreamed in the language of Irvine neighbors． A few years later and I would no longer remember a time when I didn't speak their words and read their books． But my father and Uncle Yat still spoke the same halting English． My mother spoke only a few of words． I began to translate conversations they had with the customers， switching between English and Chinese． Whenever I stepped 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ outside the restaurant it seemed I was entering a world unknown to my family： school， church， friends' house， the town beyond Main Street， I found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more， a home other than Irvine．‎ ‎ For my mother， though， home would always be China． In Irvine she lived among strangers， unable to speak their language． Whenever she talked about happy times， they were during her childhood in that distant land． A wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents' bedroom． She once showed me a piece of jade﹣green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge． In the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water， the embroidery so fine that when I held it at arm's length the petals looked real． I had been helping her store away my summer clothes in the brown leather suitcase from Hong Kong when I noticed a piece of shiny material in the corner and asked her what it was． She took it out and spread it on her lap． "My mother embroidered this herself． I was going to have it made into a cushion， but then my life changed and over here there seems to be no place for lovely things． It's all I have that reminds me of her，" she said． "Maybe， Su﹣Jen， one day you will do something with it．" I admired the cloth some more， then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase．‎ ‎ There was so little left from her old life． She said it was so long ago that sometimes it felt as if it had never happened． But she described her life with such clarity and vividness that I knew all those memories lived on inside her． There was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure． The good things she found were related in some way to China： an aria from a Chinese opera， a letter from a relative back home or from Aunt Hai﹣Lan in Toronto， written in Chinese， a familiar﹣looking script that I couldn't read and that had nothing to do with my life in Canada．‎ ‎ There were times when I felt guilty about my own happiness in Irvine． We had come to Canada because of me， but I was the only one who had found a home．‎ ‎（1）In the opening paragraph， the narrator emphasizes primarily which of the following about her parents？　 　‎ A． Their dependability 第50页（共50页）‎ B． the diligence C． their routine lives D． Their evolving relationship ‎（2）The primary purpose of the second paragraph is to　 　．‎ A． provide insight into the motivations of the narrator's parents and uncle B． emphasize the great transformation the narrator undergoes C． describe the complex interrelationships in the narrator's family D． reveal the narrator's preference for a cold climate over a warm one ‎（3）According to the narrator， her mother experienced feelings of　 　 in Canada．‎ A． isolation B． confusion C． stability D． security ‎（4）In paragraph 4 the mother's memories of China are portrayed as　 　．‎ A． distant yet enduring B． occasional and vague C． lively but confused D． joyous and hopeful ‎（5）The items mentioned in paragraph 4 had meaning for the mother because they　 　．‎ A． introduce her to a world rich in culture B． helped connect the narrator and her mother C． supplied her with familiar associations D． provided relief from her boring work routine ‎（6）Which of the following best characterizes the narrator's development over the course of the passage？　 　‎ A． She grows apart from the cultural tradition of her parents．‎ B． She overcomes the guilt she felt about her newfound happiness．‎ C． She begins to view the inhabitants of Irvine from her mother's perspective．‎ D． She communicates less and less with her parents．‎ 第四部分：任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10‎ 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ 分）请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填八一个最恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填一个单词．‎ ‎31．（10分）Sometimes， we all get the feeling that we aren't making the progress we want to in life． Perhaps we don't have the career we want， the relationship we want or the body we want． |This is a somewhat universal experience but some of us feel it more strongly than others． And when it has been going on long enough， we start to look for help from outside sources． This is where the life coach comes in， as someone who promises to help us sort our lives out and make positive progress toward our goals．‎ ‎ The easiest way to think of a life coach is as a personal trainer for your entire life． While a personal trainer might write you a program to help you get in shape and then encourage you to carry out that program， a life coach will give you a program that can help you in multiple areas of your life and then give you the same motivation and encouragement． Ideally， this should mean developing in you the kind of traits and knowledge that will eventually allow you to outgrow your need for them．‎ ‎ In theory， there's nothing wrong with the concept of life coaching． The issue instead comes from the fact that there is no regulation in this multi﹣million dollar industry． If you are interested in becoming a life coach， then you can quite easily apply online and complete a course for around ＄3，000． One course promises that you can become a qualified coach in just six days! This should be ringing alarm bells for anyone thinking of hiring a life coach． This is someone who claims to have the knowledge to help you in every aspect of your life． However， is it really true？ I think it's still questionable． Of course， this doesn't mean that there is no good life coach． All it means is that there are may bad ones out there and that it's very difficult to tell them apart from the ones that offer genuine value．‎ ‎ Therefore， it's important to remember that the best life coach in the world can only do so much． Be honest with yourself and ask yourself whether you really need to shift the responsibility onto someone else． And you should certainly think twice before spending large amounts of money hiring a life coach， especially if you're currently unhappy with your financial situation! Additionally， you're supposed to consider the fact that there are many professionals with far more qualifications relating to various different aspects of your life． You can hire a personal trainer to help you with finances， and a personal shopper to 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ help you pick out your clothes． This will bring about far more great changes than the vast majority of life coaches can!‎ Should you consider a life coach？‎ Introduction Constant （1）　 　to get what is needed or wanted makes people want to hire a life coach．‎ A life coach's responsibilities Different from a personal trainer， a life coach can figure out a program， which can help you in many aspects of your life．‎ ‎（2）　 　to a personal trainer， a life coach also offers you motivation and encouragement．‎ You can learn so much from a life coach that 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ eventually you develop so well that you don't （3）　 　their help any more．‎ ‎（4）　 　with a life coach Regulation is （5）　 　from the life coach industry， which means anybody can be a life coach if they want．‎ The issue is that you are not （6）　 　to find someone who knows every aspect of your life．‎ It's difficult for you to （7）　 　between good life coaches and bad ones．‎ Suggestions Give it a second （8）　 　before deciding to employ a life 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ coach， especially when you are in （9）　 　trouble．‎ Hiring professionals （10）　 　on you individual requirements and purposes can bring far better changes．‎ 第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎32．（25分）请认真阅读下面有关高铁的相关文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150字左右的文章．‎ ‎ In recent years， a number of China's technological innovations have been making their way in the world． Among them， four stand out and acquire a reputation as China's "four new great inventions" of modern times， namely High Speed Railway， Alipay， shared bicycles ， and e﹣commerce．‎ ‎ High Speed Railway is a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic， "High speed rail travel" has been called the most revolutionary means of transport of the late 20th century and early 21st century． Today， China's high﹣speed railway or CRH， is the best example of such "revolutionary means of transport"． In fact， CRH only began to develop in early 2004， when China issued its "Mid and Long﹣term Railway Network Plan"， the first such development in China's history． It was in little more than six years that China's railway realized its leap﹣forward，

根据句子结构可知，该句为完全倒装句．用法为，表示方式或方位的副词或介词短语放句首（该句中为（among the crises that face humans），句子要使用完全倒装，即把谓语动词提前到主语之前．由此可知，该句的主语为the lack of natural resources单数，句子本来应为The lack of natural resources is among the crises that face humans．因此选择B项．‎ ‎【点评】倒装英语句子的主语通常位于谓语动词之前，这种语序被称为正常语序．但有时出于修辞或某种特殊的语法结构的需要，需要将谓语动词放在主语之前，这种语序则叫倒装语序．主语和谓语完全倒置叫完全倒装．所以在选择谓语动词的单复数时要找准主语．‎ ‎17．（1分）﹣These winter days are getting to be

almost everywhere in Bath feels like a living postcard． With landmarks from Roman and medieval times， you may feel you've landed back in time， but the splendid row houses and people hustling about on smart﹣phones brings you out of that fantasy．‎ ‎ Bath somehow weaves together threads of small﹣town life with metropolitan style． It has galleries， museums and theaters． It's a college town anchored by the University of Bath． And it is a UNESCO World Heritage site． Even on a mere day trip from London， just 90 minutes away by train， Bath bubbles over with charm．‎ ‎ Bath Abbey ‎ An impressive landmark in the center of town， Bath Abbey is the third place of worship 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ to occupy this site in 1，200 years． The first church， built in 757， was replaced by a cathedral soon after the Norman conquest of England in 1066． That one gave way in the 15th century to the Abbey that's there today．‎ ‎ Walk inside and eye the ceiling and stained glass windows showing 56 scenes from Christ's life． A floor plate marks Queen Elizabeth II's 1973 visit． Tours of the church tower are available．‎ ‎ Roman Baths ‎ The Roman Baths date back to the year 70，with a pool of natural， hot spring water called the Great Bath located below street level． You can see the steam swirling on the street above． People dressed in period clothing﹣such as a Roman soldier or stone mason﹣stand in the archways．‎ ‎ The complex includes several underground spaces and displays． The self﹣guided audio tour thoroughly explains how the citizens of Aquae Sulis （the Roman name given to Bath） socialized， worked and worshipped． At the end of the tour， visitors can sample some of that refreshing water．‎ ‎ Jane Austen Centre ‎ Novelist Jane Austen lived with family in Bath between 1801 and 1806． Avid readers of Austen's work know that Bath was a prominent setting in two of her books， Persuasion and Northanger Abbey． The Jane Austen Centre， a three﹣story building on Gay Street has a permanent exhibit and tea room．‎ ‎ The exhibit offers two floors of clothes， anecdotes about what daily life would have been like for Austen in Bath． You can end your wandering with afternoon tea in the third﹣‎ 第50页（共50页）‎

green field． The first home， No.1 Royal Crescent， where former Parliament member Henry Sanford lived in the late 1700s， is also a museum． Rooms are furnished in 18th century style， with a glimpse of the upstairs﹣downstairs lifestyle of the era（think Downton Abbey but 150 years earlier）．‎ ‎（1）According to the article， the following aspects of Bath are covered EXCEPT　D　．‎ A． history B． architecture

forecast the destructive potential of a hurricane so that people in the way can take adequate precautions． Satellite images of cloud patterns can be analyzed to estimate peak wind speeds， but the estimates are often way off the mark． Specialized aircraft can fly into a storm to measure the winds directly， but the flights are costly．‎ ‎ Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology come up with a third way： listening to a storm underwater．‎ ‎ In a paper to be published in Geophysical Research Letters， Nicholas C． Makris and a former graduate student， Joshua D． Wilson， report a strong connection between the intensity of sound recorded by an undersea microphone in the mid﹣Atlantic and the wind power of a hurricane that passed over it． They say that such microphones， known as hydrophones， could be a safe and relatively inexpensive means of estimating hurricane force．‎ ‎ Dr． Makris and Dr Wilson， who are now with Applied Physical Sciences Corporation， worked out the theory of underwater acoustic monitoring of storms in a 2005 paper． "To be very frank with you， it's a mystery what makes storms noisy underwater．" Dr． Makris said． The most popular idea currently is that it has something to do with oscillating are bubbles（气泡振动）．‎ ‎ The researchers then went looking for experimental data to back their theory， and found it from a hydrophone placed at a depth of 2，500 feet by the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration． It happened that Hurricane Gert passed over the area in September 1999， and a hurricane﹣hunter plane directly measured the wind speed at the same time． The 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ hydrophone data showed sound intensity rising when the storm's outside wind "wall" passed over， and again when the inside wall， the most destructive part of the storm near the eye， passed over． "We got a beautiful connection，" Dr． Makris said， "between the hydrophone data and the actual wind speeds as measured by the aircraft．"‎ ‎ Dr． Makris is conducting additional experiments， working with the Mexican Navy off the west coast of Mexico． The eventual goal， he said， would be permanent hydrophones in known hurricane zones or temporary ones that could be easily laid

with making links to other places， other cultures， other worlds． The roots of this obsession have often puzzled me． I am not﹣never have been﹣a gregarious person． Quite the opposite， I was a solitary child and my classmates at school and university always thought of me as a loner． I was never crazy about the noisy solidarity of social gatherings． So why was I possessed of a desire to make contact with distant places？‎ ‎ It can partly be explained by the start I had in life． I grew up on what seemed at the time like the edge of the world﹣in a remote part of rural Ireland， in a household with few books or magazines， and no television． Foreign travel was unheard of． Apart from those who emigrated to Great Britain or the United States， virtually nobody we knew had ever been abroad． Nobody ever went overseas on holiday， and no foreign languages were taught in the schools I attended﹣with the exception of Latin． We lived in a closed society that thought 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ of itself as self﹣sufficient．‎ ‎ There was however one chink of light in the suffocating gloom﹣the radio， which we called "the wireless．" It was， by modern standards， a huge apparatus powered by valves﹣which is why it took some time to warm up﹣and a "magic eye" tuning indicator﹣a greenish glass circle that winked at you as the signal waxed or waned． The best thing about our wireless， though， was that it had a shortwave band． This was the source of endless fascination to me， because it meant that even with this primitive device one could listen to the world． At first I couldn't understand how it worked． Why was reception so much better at night？ Why was it so infuriatingly variable？ I asked my father， who looked evasive and just said it had something to do with "the whachamacallit sphere" （he always called complicated things the whachamacallit）， but this gave me enough of a steer to go to the local library and start digging． In due course I discovered that he was referring to the ionosphere﹣a layer of charged particles high up at the edge of the Earth's atmosphere that acts as a kind of reflector for radio waves of certain frequencies． The reason shortwave radio could travel such huge distances was that it used the ionosphere to bounce signals round the world﹣which was why radio hams in Latin America or Australia could sometimes be heard by a young boy on the western seaboard of Ireland． Signals from such distant shores were more likely to get through at night because then the ionosphere was higher and transmission over longer distances was possible．‎ ‎ I was spellbound by this discovery of how technology could piggyback on a natural phenomenon to push forward low﹣power signals through immense distances． But most of all I was entranced by the idea of shortwave radio， for this was a technology which belonged not to great corporations or governments， but to people． It was possible， my father explained， to obtain a license to operate your own shortwave radio station． And all over the globe people held such licenses， which enabled them to sit in their back rooms and broadcast to the whole world． The world suddenly seemed wide open to me．‎ ‎（1）The second paragraph primarily serves to　B　．‎ A． reveal the author's attitude toward foreign cultures B． present information that sheds light on a certain preoccupation 第50页（共50页）‎ C． to display the author's nostalgia for his adolescence D． foreshadow the crucial difference between the author and his father ‎（2）The author considers his father's answer （in Paragraph 3）to be　A　．‎ A． incomplete but helpful B． humorous but meaningful C． lighthearted yet concerned D． silly and confusing ‎（3）Which of the following， if true， would most weaken the claim of operating a shortwave radio station？　C　‎ A． Many governments around the world do not regulate shortwave users B． Shortwave equipment is very inexpensive and is getting cheaper all the time C． Most individuals who apply for shortwave licenses are turned down．‎ D． Communications experts predict that the Internet will eventually replace shortwave radio．‎ ‎（4）The passage is primarily about the author's　D　．‎ A． decision to pursue a career in science B． acceptance

1960s． Originally form China， the family traveled to Irvine， Ontario， Canada， where the parents opened a restaurant， the Dragon Café．‎ ‎ As a young child I never really thought about my parents' lives in Irvine， how small their world must have seemed， never extending beyond the dragon Café． Every day my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant． I watched the same customers come for meals， for morning coffee， for afternoon soft drinks and French fries． For my parents one day was like the next． They settled into an uneasy and distant relationship with each other． Their love， their tenderness， they gave to me．‎ ‎ But my life was changing． I became taller and bigger， my second teeth grew in white and straight． At school I began to learn about my adopted country． I spoke English like a native， without a trace of an accent． I played， though， and dreamed in the language of Irvine neighbors． A few years later and I would no longer remember a time when I didn't speak their words and read their books． But my father and Uncle Yat still spoke the same halting English． My mother spoke only a few of words． I began to translate conversations they had with the customers， switching between English and Chinese． Whenever I stepped 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ outside the restaurant it seemed I was entering a world unknown to my family： school， church， friends' house， the town beyond Main Street， I found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more， a home other than Irvine．‎ ‎ For my mother， though， home would always be China． In Irvine she lived among strangers， unable to speak their language． Whenever she talked about happy times， they were during her childhood in that distant land． A wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents' bedroom． She once showed me a piece of jade﹣green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge． In the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water， the embroidery so fine that when I held it at arm's length the petals looked real． I had been helping her store away my summer clothes in the brown leather suitcase from Hong Kong when I noticed a piece of shiny material in the corner and asked her what it was． She took it out and spread it on her lap． "My mother embroidered this herself． I was going to have it made into a cushion， but then my life changed and over here there seems to be no place for lovely things． It's all I have that reminds me of her，" she said． "Maybe， Su﹣Jen， one day you will do something with it．" I admired the cloth some more， then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase．‎ ‎ There was so little left from her old life． She said it was so long ago that sometimes it felt as if it had never happened． But she described her life with such clarity and vividness that I knew all those memories lived on inside her． There was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure． The good things she found were related in some way to China： an aria from a Chinese opera， a letter from a relative back home or from Aunt Hai﹣Lan in Toronto， written in Chinese， a familiar﹣looking script that I couldn't read and that had nothing to do with my life in Canada．‎ ‎ There were times when I felt guilty about my own happiness in Irvine． We had come to Canada because of me， but I was the only one who had found a home．‎ ‎（1）In the opening paragraph， the narrator emphasizes primarily which of the following about her parents？　C　‎ A． Their dependability 第50页（共50页）‎ B． the diligence C． their routine lives D． Their evolving relationship ‎（2）The primary purpose of the second paragraph is to　B　．‎ A． provide insight into the motivations of the narrator's parents and uncle B． emphasize the

yet enduring B． occasional and vague C． lively but confused D． joyous and hopeful ‎（5）The items mentioned in paragraph 4 had meaning for the mother because they　C　．‎ A． introduce her to a world rich in culture B． helped connect the narrator and her mother C． supplied her with familiar associations D． provided relief from her boring work routine ‎（6）Which of the following best characterizes the narrator's development over the course of the passage？　A　‎ A． She grows apart from the cultural tradition of her parents．‎ B． She overcomes the guilt she felt about her newfound happiness．‎ C． She

want， the relationship we want or the body we want． |This is a somewhat universal experience but some of us feel it more strongly than others． And when it has been going on long enough， we start to look for help from outside sources． This is where the life coach comes in， as someone who promises to help us sort our lives out and make positive progress toward our goals．‎ ‎ The easiest way to think of a life coach is as a personal trainer for your entire life． While a personal trainer might write you a program to help you get in shape and then encourage you to carry out that program， a life coach will give you a program that can help you in multiple areas of your life and then give you the same motivation and encouragement． Ideally， this should mean developing in you the kind of traits and knowledge that will eventually allow you to outgrow your need for them．‎ ‎ In theory， there's nothing wrong with the concept of life coaching． The issue instead comes from the fact that there is no regulation in this multi﹣million dollar industry． If you are interested in becoming a life coach， then you can quite easily apply online and complete a course for around ＄3，000． One course promises that you can become a qualified coach in just six days! This should be ringing alarm bells for anyone thinking of hiring a life coach． This is someone who claims to have the knowledge to help you in every aspect of your life． However， is it really true？ I think it's still questionable． Of course， this doesn't mean that there is no good life coach． All it means is that there are may bad ones out there and that it's very difficult to tell them apart from the ones that offer genuine value．‎ ‎ Therefore， it's important to remember that the best life coach in the world can only do so much． Be honest with yourself and ask yourself whether you really need to shift the responsibility onto someone else． And you should certainly think twice before spending large amounts of money hiring a life coach， especially if you're currently unhappy with your financial situation! Additionally， you're supposed to consider the fact that there are many professionals with far more qualifications relating to various different aspects of your life． You can hire a personal trainer to help you with finances， and a personal shopper to help you pick out your clothes． This will bring about far more great changes than the vast majority of life coaches can!‎ 第50页（共50页）‎ Should you consider a life coach？‎ Introduction Constant （1）　　to get what is needed or wanted makes people want to hire a life coach．‎ A life coach's responsibilities Different from a personal trainer， a life coach can figure out a program， which can help you in many aspects of your life．‎ ‎（2）　　to a personal trainer， a life coach also offers you motivation and encouragement．‎ You can learn so much from a life coach that eventually you develop so well that you don't 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ （3）　　their help any more．‎ ‎（4）　　with a life coach Regulation is （5）　　from the life coach industry， which means anybody can be a life coach if they want．‎ The issue is that you are not （6）　　to find someone who knows every aspect of your life．‎ It's difficult for you to （7）　　between good life coaches and bad ones．‎ Suggestions Give it a second （8）　　before deciding to employ a life coach， especially when you are in （9）　　trouble．‎ 第50页（共50页）‎ Hiring professionals （10）　　on you individual requirements and purposes can bring far better changes．‎ ‎【考点】PE：任务型阅读．菁优网版权所有 ‎【解答】任务型 71． failure 72． Similar 73． need 74． Problems 75． absent ‎＝76． likely 77． distinguish/ discriminate 78． thought 79． financial 80． based 第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎32．（25分）请认真阅读下面有关高铁的相关文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150字左右的文章．‎ ‎ In recent years， a number of China's technological innovations have been making their way in the world． Among them， four stand out and acquire a reputation as China's "four new great inventions" of modern times， namely High Speed Railway， Alipay， shared bicycles ， and e﹣commerce．‎ ‎ High Speed Railway is a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic， "High speed rail travel" has been called the most revolutionary means of transport of the late 20th century and early 21st century． Today， China's high﹣speed railway or CRH， is the best example of such "revolutionary means of transport"． In fact， CRH only began to develop in early 2004， when China issued its "Mid and Long﹣term Railway Network Plan"， the first such development in China's history． It was in little more than six years that China's railway realized its leap﹣forward， which made it possible for China to head into "an era of high﹣speed railway"．‎ ‎ As the American publication "Newsweek" put it： China is now engaged in a "railway 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ revolution"． These 350 kilometer per hour high﹣speed railway trains have made the country's vast territory "substantially smaller"， and changed the country economically．‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1．用约30个单词概括上述信息的主要内容；‎ ‎2．就高铁给我们生活带来的变化谈谈你的见解；‎ ‎3．你眼中的高铁前景如何．‎ ‎【写作要求】‎ ‎1．作文中可以利用了解到的知识， 也可以参照阅读材料的内容， 但不得直接引用原文中的句子；‎ ‎2．文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；内容完整， 语言规范， 语篇连贯， 词数适当．‎ ‎3．不必写标题．‎ ‎【考点】R5：读写任务作文．菁优网版权所有 ‎【分析】【高分句型一】 Recently the world has witnessed the "four new great inventions" of modern China， of which High Speed Railway plays the most important role in influencing and changing people's lives in different ways．近年来，世界见证了近代中国的"四大新发明"，其中高速铁路在以不同方式影响和改变人们生活中发挥着最重要的作用．which引导非限制性定语从句．‎ ‎【高分句型二】In conclusion， I am proud of the development of high﹣speed railway， which will no doubt put forward the development of China， but also strengthen the relationships with the neighboring countries．总之，我为高速铁路的发展感到自豪，这无疑将推动中国的发展，同时也将加强与周边国家的关系．which引导法非限制性定语从句．‎ ‎【解答】Recently the world has witnessed the "four new great inventions" of modern China， of which High Speed Railway plays the most important role in influencing and changing people's lives in different ways【高分句型一，which引导非限制性定语从句】．【要点一，概括上述信息的主要内容】‎ ‎ As we know， China has built the world's longest high﹣speed railway network． Featuring high speed， large passenger﹣carrying capacity and assured safety， it consumes modest energy and resources and has greatly improved the transportation efficiency 第50页（共50页）‎ ‎ of the country． What's more， it makes our world smaller． With the high﹣speed railway， we can go almost anywhere in China conveniently whether on a trip or on a visit to our relatives and friends．【要点二，作者见解】‎ ‎ In conclusion， I am proud of the development of high﹣speed railway， which will no doubt put forward the development of China， but also strengthen the relationships with the neighboring countries【高分句型二，which引导法非限制性定语从句】． With living standards rising ， it is only a matter of time before more and more people are able to pay to satisfy the need for speed．【要点三，展望高铁前景】‎ ‎【点评】开放性作文给出一定的写作主题，并此为基础进行思维和联想，自由发挥．不仅考查学生在内容、结构安排、语言运用和组织方面的能力，而且对学生的想像力、发散思维、归纳判断能力也有很高的要求．‎ 声明：试题解析著作权属菁优网所有，未经书面同意，不得复制发布 日期：2019/4/18 7:52:20；用户：qgjyuser10051；邮箱：qgjyuser10051.21957750；学号：21985057‎ 第50页（共50页）‎
