Take a look at a few in his list: The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Banyan (1678) A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan’s prose makes this an English classic. Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719) By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world-famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist. Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726) A great work that’s been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English. Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748) Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart”. Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749) Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time. Emma by Jane Austen (1816) Jane Austen’s Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings. The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838) Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel—a classic adventure story with supernatural elements—has fascinated and influenced generations of writers. 21. Which English book has got the most translations before the 20th century? A. Robinson Crusoe. B. Gulliver’s Travels. C. Tom Jones. D. Emma. 解析：细节推理题。根据 Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)中 By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations.可知 20 世 纪前 Robinson Crusoe 的翻译量最大，故选 A。 答案：A 22. What does Samuel Johnson think we can learn about from the book Clarissa? A. A love story. B. Quarrels in a family. C. The human heart. D. The spirits of the lime. 解析：细节推理题。根据 Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)中 in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart”.可知 Samuel Johnson 认为这本书带给我们的是关于 human heart 的知识，故选 C。 答案：C 23. What makes the characters in Tom Jones famous? A. Their classic lifestyles. B. Their different nationalities. C. Their typical spirits of the age. D. Their representation of the society. 解析：细节推理题。根据 Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)中 Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.可知 Tom Jones 中表现当时社会的那些角色使这本书 出名，故选 D。 答案：D B In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted（不去重 视）.We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation. One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing. I didn't pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It wasn't long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn't anyone helping him? His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty. Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plain clothes policeman who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said "MY HOME!" and started crying. A man doesn't value things until they are gone. If he didn't have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won't help himself. 24. When entering the car, how did the author feel at first? A. Annoyed. B. Puzzled. C. Sad. D. Calm. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段开头中：“After entering, I noticed something unusual.” 可见，上车以后，作者注意到一些不寻常的东西，所以此时作者的心情应该是困惑的，故选 B。 答案：B 25. How did people react to the homeless man? A.

He is a fearless fighter. 解析：作者态度题。根据最后一段中作者的观点：“ No one wants to help someone who won’t help himself.”句意：没有人愿意帮助那些自己不帮助自己的人，结合选项，故选 A。 答案：A C 3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender. Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food ‘inks’ into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals. Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients (原料) such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products. Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them. However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those for growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food –based inks and gels (凝胶)? What’s more , cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button. 28. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing? A. Quick and popular. B. Easy and efficient. C. Nutritious and tasty. D. Soft and convenient. 解析：细节理解题。根据 This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.得知 3D 食物打印机很快很容易就能创造出好吃、有营养的食物。题干要求 选出描述 3D 食物打印机最精确的词语，故选 B。 答案：B 29. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster? A. Traditional food would disappear. B. Many people could lose their jobs. C. It would affect the people’s health. D. We could all eat the same food. 解析：细节理解题。根据 However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food.得知一些人认为 3D 食物打印机的未来是一个灾难，因为它会抢人们的饭碗--- 比如食物的种植、运输、打包，故选 B。 答案：B 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking. B. The future of 3D food printing is uncertain. C. It would hurt our tradition of food culture. D. 3D food printing would be a failure. 解析：推理判断题。根据 What’s more , cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.得知烹饪和聚餐是人类的传 统活动，很难想像 3D 食物打印机带来的按钮世界，可以得知 3D 食物打印机的应用会破坏 我们的传统饮食文化。故选 C。 答案：C 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. 3D food “printing”: coming to the kitchen B. Can 3D printing create everything? C. 3D—printing food will be in fashion! D. The disadvantage of 3D food printing 解析：主旨大意题。根据全文大意得知本文讲述了一项新发明---即将进入厨房的 3D 食 物打印机，故选 A。 答案：A D At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts. Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures. What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语)and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds---nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings. In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words. In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial(殖民地的)America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. In contract, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with. 32. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation? A. The Dutch B. Americans C. The English D. The Japanese 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most.”第三段最后两句“Research in Dutch（荷兰语）and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast,a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2seconds---nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.”可知，日本人可能在谈话中有 最长沉默。故选 D。 答案：D 33. What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation? A. Speaking more gives the upper hand B. Speak out what you have in your mind C. Great minds think alike without words D. The shorter talking silence, the better 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段首句“In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all.”可知，在日本，一般认为最好的交流是一句话不说的时候。因 此推断日本人认为“伟大的心灵，无言而思”。故选 C。 答案：C 34. What can we learn from the text? A. A four second silence in conversation is universal B. It’s hard for American to reach a common agreement C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears 解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.”可知，亲密的 人之间更容易出现沉默，因此我们和家人越亲密，沉默越容易出现。故选 D。 答案：D 35. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean? A. Similarity B. Contradiction C. Diversity D. Misunderstanding 解析：词句猜测题。根据下文的举例可知，越亲密的人，越容易出现沉默，因此推断 画线句句意是：相比而言，当有更多相似时，也许沉默更容易出现。故画线词意思与 similarlity 意义相近。故选 A。 答案：A 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。 When we choose to worry over what we don't possess, we actually stand at a risk of losing whatever we already have. 36 Therefore, there is no way we can succeed in life unless our mind is first happy and satisfied and then yearns for more. Here are some ways to help you to be more grateful. Choose to be grateful. Well, whether to complain about what you don't have or to be thankful for what you have is a conscious choice you make yourself. Treasure what you have and strive for what you need next. Some are always worrying over what they don't have or can't achieve in the present. 37 Look around you. When in fear or frustration, look around yourself for examples of patience and gratitude. 38 Observe how trees stand tall and brave the fury of storms, rains and the ever-changing seasons. 39 Once you have the mindset to be first thankful for the life you have, you will find hundreds of ways to do that. As you live your normal daily routine, you will find a number of hidden opportunities to be thankful for the bounties you have. Think positive to achieve positive. 40 Have you ever noticed that if you keep telling yourself that the present tough times shall pass and you are happy with what you have, you actually get the courage to deal with the crisis? The human mind is a powerful machine. To flunk positive and steer the course of actions that way is a power that lies absolutely within! A. Your thoughts can shape your life. B. Look for hidden ways to be thankful. C. Think about why you should be grateful. D. After all, it is our mind that rules our body. E. Helping others is just one of such examples! F.

Actually, it is merely a way to waste the precious present moments. 解析：36.考查语境理解及上下文推理能力。根据上句“我们在担心我们没有拥有的东西 是实际上面临失去已拥有的风险”，以及下句“因此除非我们的大脑首先感到快乐和满足”， 提到大脑对我们的支配，推知选项 D“毕竟，我们的思想支配我们的身体”承上启下。故选 D。 37.考查语境理解及上下文推理能力。根据第二段主要介绍我们要对当下拥有的东西心 存感激，所以总是为没有的而焦虑是浪费时间。选项 G 意思是“事实上，这只是一种浪费当 下宝贵时刻的一种方式”符合语境。故选 G。 38.考查语境理解及上下文推理能力。这段内容围绕从自己的周围世界去寻找感恩的例 子。选项 F“学会观察鸟类是如何感激大自然的食物的”作为其中一个例子，符合语境。故选 F。 39.考查语境理解及上下文推理能力。根据这一段最后一句提到生活当中有很多隐藏的 机会，让你去心存感恩，可推知选项 B“寻找隐藏的感恩之道”放在此处符合语境。故选 B。 40.考查语境理解及上下文推理能力。根据下文指出你对自己拥有的感到满意你就会得 到应对危机的勇气，及“The human mind is a powerful machine.”可推知，选项 A“你的思想可 以塑造你的生活”符合语境。故选 A。 答案：36.
