Whatever’s standing between you and happiness, chances are that someone’s written a self-help book about it. Here’s what they say.‎ Book 1: Self Help by Samuel Smiles Back in Victorian England, the aptly-named Samuel Smiles wrote the first self-help book. Smiles told his readers that there’s no quick fix, and the harder you worked, the happier you would be.‎ Book 2: How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie Fast forward to 1936. Struggling actor Dale Carnegie writes an optimistic masterpiece that leads him to fame. He wrote that power and happiness would increase if you tried to see the world as others see it, remember people’s names, and develop a firm handshake.‎ Book 3: The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale In the 1950s, minister Norman Vincent Peale brought God into the equation (平等、等式) with his message that faith is the key to achieving anything. His message? Pray, visualize (形象化) solutions, and remove self-doubt.‎ Book 4: Who Moved My Cheese by Dr. Spencer Johnson The message of this book is that change is unavoidable. The sooner you let go of the old and embrace (拥抱) the new, the happier you’ll be.‎ ‎21. Which of the following is the first self-help book?‎ A. The Power Of Positive Thinking B. How To Win Friends And In fluence People C. Self Help D. Who Moved My Cheese ‎22. What made Dale Carnegie famous?‎ A. He was brave enough to fight with actors.‎ B. He wrote his most popular book.‎ C. He lived an optimistic life in the 1930s.‎ D. He found the secret of happiness.‎ ‎23. What’s the similar theme of the above books?‎ A. Know exactly what you want and act positively.‎ B. The more you smile, the happier you will be.‎ C. The harder you worked, the happier you would be.‎ D. Faith is the key to achieving anything.‎ B As she walked around the huge department store, Edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume.‎ Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people trod (踩) on your toes, poked (捅) you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.‎ Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. “Worth double the price.” But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.‎ She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale—and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him.‎ When she got home, with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking.” She informed her daughter.‎ ‎24. Why was shopping very disagreeable at that time of the year?‎ A. Because customers were doing their shopping in a great hurry.‎ B. Because customers often poked each other with their elbows.‎ C. Because customers often knocked each other.‎ D. Because some customers trod on others’ toe.‎ ‎25. What do we know about Edith’s father?‎ A. He did not like presents.‎ B. He never got presents.‎ C. He preferred ties.‎ D. It was difficult to choose a present for him.‎ ‎26. How did Edith come to the next counter?‎ A. Purposely. B. Happily. C. Accidentally. D. Unwillingly.‎ ‎27. How do you think Edith would feel when she heard her mother’s words?‎ A. Glad. B. Disappointed. C. Annoyed. D. Joyful.‎ C Language learning apps are very popular now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.‎ Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. A previous research found positive results on the use of them. But it mainly concentrates on studies with learners who had signed up for language courses and these apps worked as an after-class support, so the results were not always reliable. A recent study of 4,095 Busuu users has been carried out to find out if users can actually learn a language with an app.‎ Busuu provides learning materials for 12 different languages. It offers special models where some contents are available for free while some contents are not, we find that its users are an even mix of men and women. More than half consider themselves to be at the beginner level as there is a decrease in users as their language levels go up. Most people use the app because of personal interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Females tend to use it less often but for longer periods of time than male users.‎ Getting any feedback on Busuu depends on whether your answer is correct or not. While it is helpful, this is not the sort of feedback language teachers prefer, as it does not explain why the answer is right or wrong. In spite of this, feedback in the app is very highly rated.‎ More than 92% of the people state that the app has met their expectations and 86% consider the app as very good or good. In fact, more than 80% of the users surveyed strongly agree that using the app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.‎ Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to the users, and this can address the performance anxiety that many learners suffer from when asked to speak a foreign language. So language teachers should encourage their students to use them to do the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.‎ ‎28. Why weren’t the results of the former research always dependable?‎ A. Because it used out-of-date methods.‎ B. Because it just focused on positive results.‎ C. Because it was only carried out before class.‎ D. Because it only considered users of a limited type.‎ ‎29. What can we learn about the app Busuu from the text?‎ A. All the contents are free to use. B. It’s used by more advanced learners.‎ C. Most users consider it satisfying. D. It’s more popular with female learners.‎ ‎30. Which of the following can probably replace the underlined word address?‎ A. Deal with. B. Write down. C. Turn to. D. Speak of.‎ ‎31. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Students won’t suffer anxiety in learning languages by using Busuu.‎ B. Language learning apps are effective and satisfactory to language learners.‎ C. Language learning apps are very popular with most language teachers.‎ D. Students should be required to use apps for homework after class.‎ D Doing well in high school prepares students for life in college and beyond, so achieving student success is important. High school students learn valuable information from class lectures and homework, and by asking for help when it is needed. Being prepared for tests and engaging in school activities can help a student to achieve success in high school.‎ Complete any homework you are assigned on time. Then, if you need help to understand a concept you will have plenty of time to get help.‎ Create a study area in your home. This can be a quiet bench outside or a seating area in your room. If you like to listen to music while studying, listen to classical or light music. Be sure to have plenty of lighting in the area to read your textbook or notes.‎ Keep a schedule. If you have extra-curricular activities like sports or school meetings, make sure to schedule your homework and study time around them. Keeping a schedule will allow you to get better grades while having fun in high school.‎ Eat breakfast. Having breakfast each morning before school will give you energy and brain function to pay better attention in class. Eat snacks during study sessions to keep alert（警惕的） and focused on your work.‎ Create a study group to help fellow high school students and get help if you need it. Studying with others will help reinforce concepts and information, and if you need help there will always be someone to help you before you get behind in your studies.‎ Set up after-school hours with your teacher if you need extra tutoring. Visiting a teacher for one-on-one time before a test will help you nail down those last few concepts you need help with.‎ ‎32. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Doing well in high school prepares students for life in college only.‎ ‎ B. Completing most of the homework on time will help a student to succeed.‎ ‎ C. The students shouldn’t listen to any music to create a quiet study area.‎ ‎ D. The study area should be bright enough for the students to read the textbook.‎ ‎33. What will make it possible for the high school students to get better grades while having fun?‎ ‎ A. Creating a study area in their home.‎ ‎ B. Keeping a schedule and following it.‎ ‎ C. Eating breakfast every morning before school.‎ ‎ D. Finding a tutor to get one-on-one instruction.‎ ‎33. How can the students help themselves before they fall behind in their studies?‎ ‎ A. Eat snacks during the study time to keep alert.‎ ‎ B. Create a study group to get help if you need it.‎ ‎ C. Make sure to have plenty of lighting in the study area.‎ ‎ D. Be prepared for the exam and engage in the school activity.‎ ‎35. What is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. How to Achieve Student Success in High School.‎ ‎ B. How to Make Full Preparations for the Exam.‎ ‎ C. Ways to Get Better Grades than Other Students.‎ ‎ D. Ways to Improve the Learning Efficiency.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ When I received my admission decision for Middlebury, my mouth dropped open in genuine (真的) shock. 36 Feeling unprepared, I was considering taking a gap year.‎ However, in processing this, I could only think about the negative points of taking a break between high school and college. I would fall behind my peers. I would forget everything I learned in high school with seven months of no learning. 37 ‎ Upon arriving at Middlebury for the admitted student days, I was amazed at the beauty of the town and the campus. While speaking with Midd kids (as students are called), they all appeared happy and generally stress-free.‎ ‎ 38 In August, a few Midd kids I had met and befriended during the admitted student days suggested going to Newburyport, MA for a week. For the first time, I went on a road trip with someone I had only known for a few months. Yet, this trip showed me the freedom of being an independent adult in a way I had not felt at home.‎ ‎ 39 My gap semester was the best beginning to adulthood because it helped me become mature in an unexpected and enriching manner, 40 ‎ To students reflecting on a gap year, be brave and do things that are outside your comfort zone. Talk to people: the world has so much to teach.‎ A. I didn’t think I was a worthy enough candidate to get accepted.‎ B. It was my way of letting go and starting a new chapter of my life.‎ C. But eventually I decided to apply to Middlebury for a few reasons.‎ D. I also opened my mind to the benefits of talking some time off from my studies.‎ E. I felt like a gap year would narrow down what I wanted to study and do in my life.‎ F. My trips provided me with a sense of freedom and independence I did not experience during my teens.‎ G. Once I restarted my academic studies, I would actually perform better than those who went straight ‎ from high school to college.‎ 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）‎ I opened my eyes to find doctors standing by my hospital bed.

The 45 were sending me to the Hope Room, a halfway house sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

But 49 I could enjoy this moment, my mother helped me 50 a face mask. I shot her an 51 look, but I know she was right. For the immediate future, anywhere I wanted to go in public I would need to wear gloves and a 52 . No subways, no crowds. However, I can 53 my freedom, even if cancer continues to 54 my choices. My new freedom means not being waken up every couple of hours by a nurse with 55 in her hand. It’s not seeing doctors with their masks and their caring, and not being 56 an IV (静脉注射) machine 24 hours a day.‎ Freedom now is being able to eat a home-cooked 57 and then fighting to keep it down. Freedom also means being 58 with my loving mother and boyfriend. Freedom is the 59 to take the medicines on time.

And I have to find a place to stay. ‎ M: I know three. There’s the Midtown, the Boston Bay, and the Fairfield. ‎ W: What are the locations like? I’ll be downtown most of the time. ‎ M: The Midtown has the best location, then. ‎ W: I’ve read about the Boston Bay. It’s also the newest hotel in Boston, isn’t it?‎ M: Yeah, I think so. It’s the biggest, and it has a very good restaurant. But, I think it’s the most expensive hotel in Boston. ‎ W: I have to keep my expenses down. What about the Midtown?‎ M: The Midtown is cheaper than the Boston Bay, but it doesn’t have a restaurant. I have a hotel guidebook here some place. Why not have a look at it carefully yourself?‎ W: Oh, thank you. ‎ Text 10‎ M: Have you traveled on any of the new giant airplanes? If you have not been a passenger on one of these planes, try to imagine a jet which is more than seventy meters long and more than five stories high at the tail. Such a plane costs at least twenty-five million dollars to build. It costs at least $6,000 to fill this giant with fuel. ‎ Inside, the giant jet looks more like a great theater than a plane. It has six kitchens, and they are all needed when the plane is full of passengers. The jet holds 400 passengers. Imagine that number in one jet plane! There are twice as many engines as the jet needs. If two engines fail on the same side, the plane can easily use its other engines to land. There are also two mechanical pilots to take charge if the human pilots cannot fly the planes.‎
