Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East. Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards, the overland route diminished.‎ Now China is seeking to revive (复兴 ) the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new road, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities. It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.‎ But the plan is also to attract more tourists. Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; it’s the world’s fourth most visited country. Two cities —  Beijing and Shanghai  — ‎ possess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such as Xi’an and Chengdu. While Beijing is modern, cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.‎ Other places featured include Xi’an, the former capital of China, where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China’s first emperor in the afterlife. From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan, China’s western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.‎ There is also a four-day coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar. Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.‎ ‎24.What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Discovered.    B. Disappeared.    C. Disturbed.    D. Displayed.‎ ‎25.What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road?‎ A. To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress.‎ B. To construct new roads and other basic structures.‎ C. To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper.‎ D. To draw more inland tourists’ attention to the western gateway.‎ ‎26.What can we learn about the Silk Road?‎ A. It is nothing but a trade route. B. It may destroy some cities’ ancient style.‎ C. It attracts foreign investment of ₤ 4 trillion. D. It promotes the tourism industry of China.‎ ‎27.What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The Charming of the Silk Road    B. The function of the Silk Road C. The origin of the Silk Road    D. The future of the Silk Road C A new study has found the amount of antibiotics（抗生素）given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years.Researchers are linking the growing depend ‎-ence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat, milk and eggs.However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections（感染）.Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.‎ The World Health Organization(WHO) notes when people stop living in poverty（贫困）,the first thing they want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat.With the rapid development of ‎ Asia,people there are eating nearly four times as much meat,milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago.‎ To meet the need,farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together,the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster.But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.‎ Nowadays,doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work.‎ The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs.The heavy use of antibiotics in farm animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide.Each year in the United States,at least two million people get antibiotic-resistant infections and at least 23,000 die from these infections.‎ Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth.And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.‎ ‎28.What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?‎ A. The desire for new drugs.    B. The less effective antibiotics.‎ C. The outdated farm technology.    D. The need for more various foods.‎ ‎29.What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO?‎ A. Making a lot of money.    B. Focusing more on health.‎ C. Having more meat in their diet.    D. Living in a better environment.‎ ‎30.What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. Antibiotics do harm to animals. B. Antibiotics help animals stay healthy.‎ C. Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe. D. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people.‎ ‎31.What's the passage mainly about?‎ A. The negative effect of antibiotics on farm animals.‎ B. The advantages of using antibiotics.‎ C. The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.‎ D. A new way of raising farm animals.‎ D ‎ Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.‎ At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too many people in society are using smartphones while driving and as a result, they get into car crashes. 34 percent of teenagers admit to texting while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their ‎ smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.‎ Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people point ‎-lessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smart ‎-phones to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friend ‎-ships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.‎ As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is preventing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face to face, but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.‎ ‎32.The purpose of this text is to ________.‎ A.call for an end to use the smartphones while driving B.appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills C.express a concern about the overuse of the smartphones D.advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphones ‎33.The second paragraph is developed by ________.‎ A.giving examples            B.listing figures C.comparing facts            D.analyzing the effects ‎34.The author advocates us to make new friends ________.‎ A.by using smartphones B.in a face-to-face way C.in different ways D.under a free circumstance ‎35.Overdependence on the smartphones leads to the fact that ________.‎ A.parties and gatherings limit their social circle B.people are more and more narrow-minded C.people's communication skills are weakened D.face-to-face communication becomes less important ‎ ‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。‎ The worst time to look for a job is when you must have a new one immediately. 36 If you are not in need of an immediate career change,here are ways you can improve your long-term career prospects(前景) tod ay: 37 You do not have to be qualified for these positions today,nor do they have to exist in your company.However,these roles should be related to your current skill set.They are career options that look interesting.Once you have a couple of targets,think about why and what interests you.Pay close attention to what appeals to you,and write it down.‎ Subscribe to a career specific magazine.All businesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue(收益). 38 This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the peck.‎ Be professionally curious.Talk to people about their careers.Learn more about how success is measured in other roles,departments and companies. 39 You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search,so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go.‎ As in all things in life,getting ready in face of a difficult task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise. 40 No matter how secure you feel today,the time will come when either you or your employer decide it is time to change.‎ A.Challenge yourself to expand your business knowledge through interactions with people at regular time.‎ B.Follow examples in your own workplace.‎ C.Changing jobs is to be expected.‎ D.Identify at least two different roles.‎ E.Reading about industry trends,advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions.‎ F.Choose jobs according to your strong points.‎ G.Job Searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decision-making from relatively few options.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 第一节 完型填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分） ‎ If life were a book and you were the author, how would you like the story to go? That is ‎ the question that__41__ my life forever.‎ One day l went home from the training of snowboarding with what I thought was the flu, and less than24 hours later,I was in a __42__on life support with less than two percent__43_of living. It wasn't until days later that the doctors diagnosed me with a _44_blood infection.‎ Over the__45__of 2.5 months, I lost the hearing in my left ear and both my legs below the knee. When my parents _46_ me out of the hospital, I 47  that I had been put together like a patchwork(拼缝物)doll and I had to live with 48 legs.I was absolutely physically and emotionally broken, 49 streaming down.‎ But I knew in order to move forward,I had to let go of the Old Amy and_50_the New AmyIt was at this moment that I asked myself that significant__51__ .And that is when it__52__‎ me that I didn’t have to be five-foot-five any more,__53__I could be as tall as I wanted.
