第一部分 选择题
一、阅读判断(第1—10题,共10分)
短文后列出10个句子,根据短文内容判断每个句子。A是正确,B是错误,C是文中未提及。
Farms Appear in Cities
When you hear the word “farm”, you may imagine the countryside with cows and crops.But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities.It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops in doors already exists.Farming in the city is already happening.Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses.Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.Experts say indoor farming solves many problems.First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land.Growing crops in tall buildings — called vertical farming(垂直农业)— can solve the problem.Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and weather.Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms.The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops.Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building.Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy.They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors.Besides, Plants differ in their weather and lighting needs.For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome — but it will take time.Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created.【参考译文】
农场出现在城市里(城中农场)
当听到“农场”一词,你可能联想到乡下的母牛和庄稼等等。但科学家说,未来的农场可能会建在一些大城市的高楼里。
此事可能难以置信,可是事实上,在室内种庄稼已经存在了。城市里的农场已经出现,某些蔬菜已经在温室里生长。甚至在南极科考站,科学家们能享用他们在温室里自己栽种的新鲜蔬菜。
据专家们说室内农场可以解决许多问题。首先,传统农场占据大片土地。在高楼里种庄稼(称之为垂直农业)可以解决此问题。再者说,水果和蔬菜室内种植不会受到害虫和气候的威胁。
尽管垂直农场尚未成为现实,但是专家们已经在一些农场创建了再循环计划:把室内养鱼池的水用于浇灌农作物,把来自于农作物的废气用于建筑物的供热,来自于鸡和猪的粪便重新利用作为能源。
但是专家认为垂直农业并不是一件容易的事。他们说,控制室内气候环境是困难的。除此之外,植物对气候和光照需求有差异。例如,一些植物喜好温暖、阳光普照的气候,但另一些植物更喜欢较凉爽的温度。
并不是说这些困难不能克服——但是这将需要花时间。大多数专家指出,建立起第一个垂直农场可能需要五年到十五年的时间。

3.Scientists at the South Pole research station live a hard life.A.True B.False C.Not Given 【答案】C 【解析】文中提到南极科考站的科学家在室内种植蔬菜,但是并未提及他们生活是否艰苦。
4.Vertical farming does not need as much land as traditional farming.A.True B.False C.Not Given 【答案】A 【解析】正确常识,“垂直农场”当然不需要像传统农场那样大片土地。
5.Fresh fruits and vegetables are very expensive in cities.A.True B.False C.Not Given 【答案】C 【解析】新鲜的水果和蔬菜在城市里是否非常昂贵,文中未提及。
6.Crops grown indoors would not be badly harmed by insects.A.True B.False C.Not Given 【答案】A 【解析】从第三段fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and weather.可知,生长在室内的庄稼不会有虫害。

【试题分析】
短文后面的这10个题目主要是考查了两个方面能力:阅读时对基本内容的掌握情况,能否理解短文中表达的概念或细节;另外一方面,迅速阅读短文,获取信息后做出正确判断的能力。
二、阅读选择(第11~15题,每题2分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项。
A Good Lesson
After living in Europe for seven years, my parents decided that my family would move to the United States.We all looked forward to this.What would people think of us? For me, I hoped to be the hero of the class.I was not disappointed.All my classmates admired my experience, and I quickly became well known as “the French guy.” I was very popular for a time.However, I was not interested in many things my classmates did, and it was hard for me to connect with them.I enjoyed listening to classical music, never watched TV, and almost never watched movies.I did not have a common background with my friends because I grew up in Europe.I had few friends, and fewer good friends.When I look back now, I realize I was a bit of an idiot to many people around me.I kept talking proudly about my experience.And I thought myself better than those around me because I lived in Europe but they didn’t.I had decided I wanted better friends when my parents said that we were going to move again!I saw this as a perfect chance to get better friends, where people did not know of my unkind past.When we moved to California, I did not show off as I had done for five years.I did not tell everyone that I lived in Europe.I still listened to classical music, but I just kept my music to myself.Sure enough, I found that people like someone who is not typical but does not boast about it.Nothing can replace good friends, and if I had to control my temper and pride, it was well worth it.【短文大意】
一个教训
在欧洲生活了七年以后,我父母决定搬到美国。我们都盼望着搬家,人们会怎样对待我们?我希望成为班里的英雄。
我没有失望。我的班里所有同学都羡慕我的经历,很快我以“法国男孩”著称。那一段时间我很受欢迎,然而我对班里同学做的许多事情都不感兴趣,很难融入他们之中。我喜欢听古典音乐,从不看电视,也几乎从不看电影。
因为我生长在欧洲,所以与我的朋友们背景不同。我没有几个朋友,好朋友更少。现在当我回顾往事,我意识到我对周围的人们有一点儿像个白痴一样,我总是高傲地谈到我的经历,并且我认为我比我周围的人都好,因为我曾生活在欧洲但他们没有。
当我的父母说我们要再次搬家时,我决定我要有更好的朋友。我看到交好朋友的机会,因为那个地方的人对我的过去并不了解。
我们搬到了加利福尼亚时,我没有像过去五年那样炫耀。我仍然听古典音乐,但是我只是自己欣赏。的确,我发现人们喜欢那种独特的但不夸耀的人。
什么也不能替代好朋友,如果为此不得不控制自己的脾气和傲慢,这也是值得的。

阅读选择题的应试技巧
短文阅读主要测试考生对阅读的书面材料理解的程度,既可以为外语学习者提供运用语言知识、文化背景知识,又可以巩固所学语言知识技能、提高英语水平。所以是外语学习者必须掌握的基本技能,也是各种英语考试的重点内容。因此,阅读部分考试成绩的优劣在整个考试中起着举足轻重的作用,所以考生在备考的过程中必须加以重视。
阅读理解是对字、词、句法的进一步学习和综合运用。要提高阅读能力,除了掌握的基本语法规则知识外,还要进行有意识的阅读训练。提高阅读能力的训练主要可以从下面三个方面入手:词汇、方法、侧重点。
1)词汇
在阅读过程中,不可避免地会碰到不认识的单词,考试中又不允许查字典,有些不认识的单词对文章的理解影响不大,可以忽略。但有些不认识的单词则会影响阅读者对文章理解的正确性。在这种情况下,就需要利用猜字的技巧猜出词的含义。
快速阅读的CPD公式 Context, Parts, Dictionary
每日学习词汇 study vocabulary daily
使用所学词汇 use the words you learn
创立你自己的词汇表 create your own word list
2)方法
方法一:先看文章后做题。主要针对简单易懂的文章、时间又较充裕的情况。
方法二:先看问题后再读文章再做题。这种方法在时间紧、文章长的情况下更为实用。这样可以带着问题去阅读,文章中的内容与考题有关系时仔细阅读,与题目无关时,可以置之不理,很快跳过去。还有一些题目涉及一般常识或科普知识,可以在未阅读文章之前自己先行判断,在阅读时只要对自己的判断进行验证就可以了。
3)三个侧重点
除了题目本身所要求查找的细节外,阅读时要注意不要逐字逐句地翻译,而要侧重地阅读。
侧重首段、尾段,首句、尾句。因为这些部分往往是作者所要谈及的论点、主题或中心思想,抓住了主干,那么细节问题就会迎刃而解。
侧重语篇标志词。语篇中句子和句子之间、段落和段落之间就是通过这种词语连接起来的,把握住这些词语就等于把握了句与句、段与段之间的关系,对于获取所需信息、准确答题至关重要。
侧重长句、难句。因为英语表达多以冗长著称,论理性很强的文章更是如此。通过较长的句子来表达复杂的思想内容,从而使文章更具有说服力。所以,我们在阅读时,必须重视长句、难句,认真分析句子,把握住关键点。事实上,不少问题就是针对这些长句、难句而设置的。
以上是归纳出的几点解英语阅读选择题目的技巧。考生在训练中应尽快掌握这些技巧,并在实践中摸索出一套适合自己的方法。
第二部分 非选择题
三、概括段落大意和补全句子(第16~25题,每题1分,共10分)

保护少数(保护稀少物种)
我们如何生活会影响环境。环境就是我们周围所有的事物。在地球上,人类正在以大大小小的方面改变环境。我们砍伐树木建造房屋,耕地种庄稼,把垃圾倾入河流、湖泊和海洋。我们张开大网和较大的渔船去捕捞大量的鱼类。类似这样的行为活动影响植物和动物,也影响像土壤和水等事物。
有的时候我们的行动使得某些植物和动物的数量增加。例如,如果你在你的院子里种植玫瑰花,那么在你的周围就会存在很多玫瑰。
我们的行为也能够导致植物和动物的数量减少。如果一个公园变成一个公寓楼,那么那些植物和动物会怎样呢?它们可能或者死去或者被移动到其他地方,这样就会使植物和动物减少。
污染和其他活动有时候引起某一个物种的数量变得如此之少,以至于该物种不能生存。一个处于消亡危险的物种被称之为濒危物种。
六、完形补文(第41~50题,每题1.5分,共15分)

【参考译文】
语言的力量
语言是某物将我们定义为人类。当语言使用得当,它能对其他人产生深深的情感,并且鼓励其他人采取行动。有时候,一首诗歌中的语句能使我们热泪盈眶、深深地感动我们。当我们用语言表达对某人的真实感受,它可以敞开心扉并且加深我们之间的关系。
语言是强有力的工具。我们如何使用语言塑造我们的世界;我们如何利用自我对话直接地形成我们和世界两者的经历;我们如何传递交流沟通造就世界对我们反响的方式。我们能够更加有效地利用语言,此举显然影响到我们的健康和个人的关系以及工作关系的能力。
七、短文写作(第51题,30分)
请根据所提供材料中的要求完成一篇100词左右的英文写作任务。将你的答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。
51.某英文报纸正在举办题为“My Favorite Job”的征文活动。请就此题目写一篇英文短文应征。内容包括以下两个方面:
你最喜欢的工作是什么?
你为什么喜欢它?
试题短文写作部分为一个小题,总计30分,要求考生写一篇100词左右的短文。试卷已经给出题目,考生应依据内容的要求进行写作。
短文写作的一般要求为:能够理解所给出的语言情境,能够运用相关的语言知识完成所规定的写作任务。能正确表达思想,内容基本清晰完整,语言基本通顺,意义连贯,无重大语言错误,用词基本恰当,符合文章的特定文体格式。
写作评分的标准简述:
评分标准分为五个档次。首先根据短文书写的总体质量,而不是按照语言错误的数量扣分。打分时,根据所写内容要点、篇章结构和语言运用初步确定其所属的档次,然后再具体给分。拼写、标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面,字数明显不足分数要降低一个档次,书写质量较差也要降低一个档次。英、美拼写皆可接受。
评分的标准五档(详见教学大纲)
写作应试策略:
写作内容涉及生活、一般常识和私人信件,体裁包括记叙文、说明文、描写文、议论文、应用文等。依据近年来成人考试的考题分析,英语短文写作趋势以应用文类型为主。试题皆为命题写作,限定内容,加以拓展。
写作相对来讲是比较难的题目,但是因为题目已经给出规定内容和要求,只要翻译准确即可。不要求文字的华丽。经过组织段落之后,短文字数也要尽量写够100词。
短文写作的最根本的基础是词汇量,掌握了一定量的词汇(words),还要有语法知识,才能把词汇写成句子(sentence),应注意英文写作表达方式和格式与汉语的不同之处,尽量避免写病句。句子是短文写作的重要组成部分,将句子安排顺序组织成段落(paragraph),这就是短文(composition)的构成。
短文写作,没什么捷径可走,必须多练,熟能生巧。建议大家每星期至少写一篇英语小短文,并在每一篇中尽量换一个新话题,使用已经学到的词汇、词组、句型和句式。这样既可以强化记忆单词,同时也可以实践语法的正确使用,尝试自己是否可以驾御写作英文短文。在实践中,将母语与英语渐渐的融为一体,发展自己的写作风格。
下面就以2013年的考试题目为例,写出一篇小短文,仅供参考。

Stadtlander is determined to prove his innocence and continue the business.“People who live in the area have been very supportive,” he says.”And when this is over,I want my wine back.”
21.Stadtlander was accused because________.A.be offered too much wine for a guest B.be asked guests to bring their own wine C.be charged too much for the wine offered D.be sold wise to his guests without a license 22.In the 1980s,Stadtlander________.A.threw his original restaurant menu into the fine B.made his restaurant well-known around the world C.sought for a quiet life in the central part of the city D.opened one resyaurant after another home and abroad.23.IT turned out that Mr.and Mrs.Smith were________.A.two farmers B.two witnesecs C.hasbend and wife D.police officers 24.Nobuy Studtlander claimed that in the wine case they made________.A.$1.20 B.no money C.$100,000 D.a lot of money 25.Which of the following could be used as evidence against Stadtlander? A.What Stadtlander’s wife said B.The second bottle of wine C.The records from the farmhouse.D.A receipt with the wine price.Passage Two Questions26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A recent study shows that sixteen out of every 100 American couoles have violent confrontations of one sort or another during the course of a year.In six of these cases there is severe kicking, biting, punching or hitting with objects.Almost four of every 100 wives are seriously beaten by their husbands.three of every 100 children are kicked or punched by their parents.More than a third of all brothers and sisters severely attack each other.As expected, the incidence of violence is highest among the urban poor(many of them minoroties).blue-collar workers, people under 20 or without religious beliefs, families with a husband who is jobless and those with four to six children.But the study also showed that violence occurs among wealthy families as well.Indeed, the wife of a university president once quietly called Straus, one of the sociologists who conducted the study, to ask what she could do about her husband, who often beat her.Straus suggested seeking assistance from marriage advisors.Steaus and his colleagues found out that there are various root causes that give rise to such behavior.“The reason are mixed –psychological, sociological, situational,” says Straus.“The husband, for example, may feel under particular stress because be has been out of work too long.Violence may also be an echo of the past,” Straus explains.“When Mummy gives her two-year-old a slap(巴掌)for putting something dirty in his mouth, he is learning from infancy that those who love you hit you.” Another reason may be the worsening economic situations.“If we have a real economos decline, It’s going to get worse,” economic situations.“If we have a real economic declines,it’s going to get worse,” says Gelles, one of Straus” colleagues.These sociologists have no easy answer to violence in the American family.While they welcome such move as the opening of shelters for beaten wives and the establishment of a National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect, they belive that there must be more basic attack on vilolence,including the reduction of “macho”(大男子主义)themes on the television,the outlawing of physical punishment in schools and perhaps even the wlimination of death senernces.As Straus explains,“Volence is an acceptable solution to problems in American society,And that is how it is used in families.26.Which of the following statements is true? A.More than a third of brothers attack sisters in American families.B.Almost four percent of husbands are seriously beaten by their wives.C.Six out of one hundred couples experience severe domestic violence.D.Six percent of American couples have some kind of domestic violence.27.The example concerning a university president’s wife shows that_________ A.domestic violence is found in well-to do families as well B.the incidence of violence is highest among urban families C.marriage advisons’ assistance is the best solution to violence D.domestic vilence exists regardless of age, race,and social status.28.What Gelles says shows that________.A.vilence is responsible for the decline of economy B.violence may be a reflection of one’s past experience C.violence is related to the economic situation of the time D.violence is the best form of emotional release for a husband 29.The word “outlawing” in line5 of the last paragraph means________.A.making something illegal B.freeing someone from prison C.learning something from law D.throwing someone out of court 30.According to the sociologists, it is impossible to curb domestic violence unless________.A.more shelters for beateb wives are opened B.children are protected by a National Center C.violence is not accepted as a solution to problems D.Americans get tougher with violent behaviors
Passage Three Qestions 31to35are based on the following passage.American scientists are developing an “intelligent” mabile phone capable of blocking incoming calls depending on the owner’s mood., Using “context aware”
Technology the “Sensay” phone will monitor calls and send back polite messages saying the user may be contacted later.A research team at the Institute for Complex Engineering Systems at Carragie Mellon University in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, are developing body temperature and electrical skin monitors to help the device understand the emotional state of its user.If the phone senses that the user is busy —for instance, involved in a conversation—it might block an incoming call and turn it onto voicemail.The phone would send back a text message saying the user is unavailable, but advising that id the matter is urgent the caller can try again in three minutes.If a call from the same person came in again, the phone would put it through.The researchers are interested in four basic different states—busy and not to be interrupted, physically active, idle,and “normal.” Most people are said to change between these states,an average of 6 to 12 times a day.Professor Asim Smailagic, a leading member of the Carnegic Mellon team, told The Engineer magazine.”Today’s computers are pretty dumb compared with the device.We got to work at the beginning of May and since then have been improving it.The next stage is to make it smarter, adding various intellingence systems so it can learn about the user.The phone also employs four primary sensons—two microphones to pick up conversations and monitor local noise.a light detector and an acceleromster(加速度计).The light sensor shows if the phone is being carried in a bag or pocket ,while the accelerometer determines whether the user is walking,running or standing still, In the sensor box, phone is being carried in a bag or pocket, while the accelerometer determites whether the user is walking,running or standing still,In the future,the sensor box,phone and personal organizer will be combined into one device.”
31.According to the passage, the “Sensay” phone is capable of ________.A.showing body temperature B.blocking unwanted calls C.detecting the owner’s mood D.sensing the caller’s mood 32.The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.A.where the intelligent phone is developed B.how the new phone is going to function C.whether the researchers failed in their experiment D.why the researchers failed in their experiment 33.Accorfing to Professor Smailagic, the detector will show________.A.where the mobile phone is B.where the mobile phone user is C.whether the mobile phone user is busy D.whether the mobile phone is within reach 34.the word “it” in line 5 of paragraph 4 refers to________.A.the phone B.the monitor C.the computer D.the light sensor 35.The best title for this passage is ________.A.How to Tell a Person’s Mood B.How to Block Incoming Calls C.Sensay Your Personal Organizer D.Sensay The Futuer Mobile Phone

Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.About forty years ago, only five percent of American children who were three or four years old attended early education programs.Today, about two-thirds of the children of that age go to preschools, nursery schools or daycare centers with educational programs.Many education experts say this is a good situation.They say young children who have some kind of preschool education do much better when they attend school.Young children in preschool programs learn colors and numbers.They identify common objects and letters of the alphabet to prepare them for reading.They sing and play games that use numbers and maps.They learn to cooperate with teachers and other children.Many preschool programs include activities to help young children learn about the world around them.For example, children visit places like zoos, museums and fire and police stations.After preschool, most American children attend kindergarten in public schools.Most children start kindergarten at about age five.Many American kindergartens now require skills taught in early education programs.So children who have not attended a preschool program may not be ready for kindergarten.Many families, however, lack enough money to send their children to private nursery schools or preschools.Such schools may cost several thousand dollars a year, as much as a public university.To help poor families, the government operates an education program for young children called Head Start.Studies have shown that many children from poor families do not do well in school.Studies also have shown that children in Head Start programs perform equally well or better than other children when they start school.But the government currently is providing Head Start with enough money to serve only about sixty percent of the children who need this program.Educators have expressed concern that some early childhood education programs are not good enough.The United States has about eighty-thousand preschools, nursery schools and daycare centers.The National Association for the Education of Young Children studies these schools.The association says it has approved only about ten percent of the preschools in the country.Experts say American children need more and better preschool education.21.In preschools.young children can learn about the world around them by.A.visiting various places
B.singing songs and playing games
C.identifying common objects and letters
D.cooperating with teachers and partners 22.The annual fee for preschool education is that of a public university.A.higher than
B.unequal to
C.lower than
D.equal to 23.Head Start aims to.A.study the benefits of preschool education in America
B.help children from poor families get ready for school
C.provide funds to help poor families through hard time
D.monitor how the movement spends money on education 24.Money provided by the government for Head Start programs is.A.more than enough
B.quite inadequate
C.just sufficient
D.almost enough 25.According to the association.most American preschools.A.have got official approval
B.enjoy good reputation
C.are not well qualified
D.have financial difficulties
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One of the chief causes of fatigue(疲倦)is boredom.To illustrate this point, let's take the case of Alice, a corporate employee who lives on your street.Alice came home one night completely exhausted.She acted fatigued.She was fatigued.She had a headache.She had a backache.She was so exhausted that she wanted to go to bed without waiting for dinner.Persuaded by her mother.she sat down at the table.The telephone rang.The boyfriend!An invitation to a dance!Her eyes sparkled.Her spirits soared.She rushed upstairs, put on her Alice-blue gown,dashed out and danced until three o'clock in the morning;and when she finally did get home, she was not the slightest bit exhausted.She was,in fact,so excited that she couldn't fall asleep.Was Alice really and honestly tired eight hours earlier.when she looked and acted exhausted? Sure,she was.She was exhausted because she was bored with her work, perhaps bored with life.There are millions of Alices.You may be one of them.It is a well-known fact that your emotional attitude usually has far more to do with producing fatigue than has physical exertion.A few years ago, Joseph E.Barmack, Ph.D., published in the Archives of Psychology a report of some of his experiments, showing how boredom produces fatigue.Dr.Barmack put a group of students through a series of tests in which, he knew, they could have little interest.The result? The students felt tired and sleepy,complained of headaches and eyestrain, felt irritable.In some cases,even their stomachs were upset.Was it all “imagination”? No.Metabolism(新陈代谢)tests were taken of these students.These tests showed that the blood pressure of the body and the consumption of oxygen actually decrease when people are bored,and that the whole metabolism picks up immediately as soon as they begin to feel interest and pleasure in their work!
26.When she came back from dancing, Alice felt.A.very hungry
B.a bit sleepy
C.much tired
D.sleepless 27.The word “them” in Line 4, Para.2 refers to.A.people exhausted from boredom

C.corporate employees enjoying dancing
D.people crazy about interesting night life 28.The major reason for Alice's exhaustion is that.A.she lost her appetite for dinner
B.she was tired of her work or her life
C.she danced too long time with friends
D.she had a bad headache and a backache 29.When person begins to enjoy his work __,A.his blood pressure goes down

Passage Three
Questions 3lto 35 are based on the following passage.There will be a major shift in the age distribution in the American workforce.As the baby boomers(born between 1946 and 1963)begin to hit retirement age, they will be replaced by the so-called“generation Y”or“Millennial Generation.”who number almost 80 million.And the qualified workers of this generation are soon going to be desperately needed, leaving businesses no choice but to figure out how to attract and keep them.People often say that members of the “Millennial Generation”can’t take care of themselves and are going to bring the world down with them.Some people might think Millennials are spoiled internet addicts(上瘾者)who feel a strong sense of entitlement and aren’t willing to work hard for the great rewards they expect.In reality Millennials are the first generation of “digital natives,”that is,they have never known a world without digital technology.As a result Millennials experience the world through technology,as older generations experience the world through their organic senses.This intimacy(亲密接触)with the digital world is one of the Millennials’greatest strengths.It also presents the greatest challenge to those companies that need highly qualified applicants.Managers need to determine ways to use their strengths and work with their weaknesses with business goals in mind.The key to attracting and managing Millennials is to create an experience of the company that matches their technological experience of the world.It’s about finding a balance between youthful enthusinasm,cooperative spirit, and the realities of the business world.The business world is experiencing a continued breakdown of the authoritarian management style that in some ways still remains as legacy(遗留做法)from the early 20th century.Managers are going to have to be patient and flexible to a large extent because one thing is for sure, nothing makes Millennials unhappier than doing tasks with traditional methods that can be done better and more efficiently with the right technology or more sophisticated methods.They need to be given the opportunity to use the technologies they are familiar with to cooperate with each other and do business.The best candidates are going to be attracted to companies that are willing to give employees what they need and want.31.American businesses will be in great need of qualified workers of the“Millennial Generation” because.A.the baby boomers in the workforce are close to retirement
B.this generation accounts for the biggest part of the workforce
C.businesses want to change the age distribution in the workforce
D.businesses prefer young workforce to speed up their development 32.People have formed a impression of the Millennial Generation.A.true
B.vague
C.favorable
D.negative 33.Compared with previous generations, Millennials.A.use more of their organic senses
B.show a poor sense of entitlement
C.rely more on information technology
D.challenge the goals of the businesses 34.To attract and manage Millennials, a business manager should.A.require them to do their tasks with traditional methods
B.force them to work with modem scientific technologies
C.balance their passion, teamwork spirit and business realities
D.combine sophisticated methods with flexible working approaches 35.The main idea of the passage could be best summarized as.A.business managers should take up the challenges from Millennials
B.business managers should be flexible about their management style
C.managers maintain a relatively objective attitude toward Millennials
D.Millennials can use their technological advantage to attract companies

都是抄本;只有八十回;底本书名为《脂砚斋重评石头记》;附有大
量脂砚斋等人评语。
32.《芙蓉女儿诔》
33.红学评点派:是指我国的一种传统的小说评论方法,即在阅读小
说时,偶有所感,便写在书中相应的地方。或写在书头,叫眉批;或

题咏。其中以评点派最具代表性,贡献也最为卓著。
35.探轶学:根据脂批或其他一些材料,对后

求。
四、简答题
36.《红楼梦》的程本一般具有哪些特点?
答:一般有如下特点:
1.都是刻本;
2.都是一百二十回;
3.书名是《红楼梦》;
4.没有脂砚斋等人的评语。
37.贾宝玉的新思想主要体现在哪些方面?
答:宝玉的新思想:
第一,尊重人的价值。
第二,主张物为我所用。
第三,提倡女尊男卑思想。
38.简述《红楼梦》的矛盾主线。
答:从作品的具体内容来分析,贾宝玉、林黛玉叛逆性格的发展和叛
逆爱情的悲剧是全书的矛盾主线和全书艺术结构的中心。同时,有展
现了荣国府主要存在着三种矛盾:
(1)以贾宝玉、林黛玉为代表的具有初步民主思想的封建叛逆者,同以贾政、薛宝钗为代表的具有初步民主思想的封建叛逆者;
(2)以晴雯、鸳鸯等人为代表的被压迫的奴隶,同以贾母、贾政、王夫人、王熙凤等人为代表的封建统治阶级之间的矛盾;
(3)封建阶级内部的尔虞我诈、勾心斗角、争权夺利的矛盾。
39.举例说明《红楼梦》叙事艺术中“凝聚”的艺术特征。
40.为什么薛宝钗看上去显得世故而虚伪?
所谓世故,是指通晓人世的各种表面的社会价值规范下的潜在的规则,有人说社会贵则有两种,一种是公开出来的要求大家遵守的规则,一种是潜隐的虽然未曾公开,但是同样不能触犯的规则,宝钗
在处理事情时,就善于趋利避害,利用人心中、人性中潜在的各种东
西达到自己的目的。例如“滴翠亭杨妃戏彩蝶”嫁祸黛玉。
正因为宝钗实际上遵循的是潜隐着的规则,所以她表面上的温
柔敦厚就不能不是一种虚伪,在宝钗待人接物的处世哲学“不关已事
不开口,一问摇头三不知”之中,除了一切以自己的利益为目的的自
私之外,更重要的是把“己知”当作“不知”的虚伪,所以她的谦恭
与她实际上的才能、才华不相称,她的对人厌恶而表面仍然春风满面,就都是虚伪的最充分的表现。
五、论述题
41.小说后四十回一般认为是高鹗所续,这部分内容有哪些地方违背
了曹氏原意?
①“家道复初,兰桂齐芳”,抄没的家产被发还,革去的世职被恢
复,逮捕的贾赦、贾政被放还,贾兰和贾桂均飞黄腾达;
②宝玉中举,宝玉平生最讨厌仕途经济,写他中举有违人物性格逻
辑;
③有些任务结局描写不符合曹雪芹原意。例如王熙凤,其判词是“一
丛二令三人木,哭向金陵事更哀”,绝大多数人认为王熙凤被休,哭
向金陵娘家一说,可见“王熙凤历幻返金陵”的结局不合原意。
42.脂砚斋评宝玉为“今古未有之一人”,此语该何如理解?
43.以宝玉被打为例,谈谈小说是如何处理由某一事件点辐射出的多
条线索及其进展的。
答:辐射是指从生活现象的某个点出发,根据这一现象所维系的人际
关系网络和事情的线索,对生活进行延展性的相互联系的描绘。宝玉
挨打牵动了荣国府内诸多的人际关系。以宝玉的病床为中心,各路人
马都进行了积极的活动,例如袭人的活动、黛玉的试探、宝钗的探望
和王夫人的心事等。
①过细的鉴别每条线上的独特内涵,绝不让人物泛泛而谈,做一些游
离于性格逻辑之外的事情;例如花袭人和薛宝钗对宝玉挨打的看法。
②恰当的处理每一条线之间的联系,在必要的时候相互交叉,形成一
个新的、共同的“兴奋点”;例如王夫人和花袭人的谈话便是如此。
③分清主次,突出众多线头最重要的一条,使辐射中心所包含的思想
光彩显得更加夺目;例如作者始终没有忘记的一条线:宝黛爱情叛逆
性格和叛逆爱情的新动向。
④节外生枝,写好从某条线上滋生出来、有表现价值的新枝蔓。例如,宝钗认为薛蟠是宝玉挨打的重要嫌疑犯。

三、Reading Comprehension(30 points,2 points for each item)从下列每篇短文 的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。
1.Parents can have a great impact on the development of their childrens creativity in art.But first, they have to know how.They may find the following advice interesting and instructive.Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books.Coloring books stop the possibility of selfexpression.A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself.As an art teacher says, “Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly.Such practice makes them learn language easily.” In fact, a child expresses himself in rough drawing.This is the beginning of literacy and creativity.Also, parents should not teach their kids“how” to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves.Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children, making them think they cant do it the “right”way.Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation.A childs natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing.Parents should be role models for their kids.They should not say things like,“I cant draw a straight line.”Instead, they should learn to say,“I love to
create.”This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product.If children see their parents drawing, cooking or building creatively, they will do the same.Buy a notebook for your child to use every day.This can be a journal for making up stories, writing ideas and drawing pictures.Even the youngest child can use it to
draw freely and roughly, expressing himself.Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity.Art museums, science centers, libraries and childrens museums all are great places to see other peoples creativity.That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions.Give children choices and free time.Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.In short, parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves.That means not always teaching and commanding.(1).To develop their artistic creativity, children should be encouraged to______.(A).(B).(C).(D).答案:A draw freely and roughly learn to draw realistic pictures know how to draw before they start learn to draw good pictures to get prizes(2).Parents are encouraged to be role models for their kids because.(A).parents love to create(B).parents can draw straight lines(C).children tend to follow their parents examples(D).children like the product of their parents creativity 答案:C(3).It can be inferred from the passage that in artistic creation.(A).product is more important than process(B).process is more important than product(C).process and product are equally important(D).both process and product are unimportant 答案:B(4).To be inspired by other peoples creativity,children should.(A).write ideas(B).make up stories(C).buy good notebooks(D).visit museums, libraries, and science centers 答案:D(5).The main idea of this passage is that.(A).children should be encouraged to draw freely(B).children should follow their parents examples(C).parents should know how to cultivate their kids creativity(D).most parents teach their kids confidently and instructively 答案:C 2.It is often said that politeness costs nothing.In fact, it seems that a little more politeness could save businesses £5 billion every year.Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you” or “well done” means the same to staff as a modest pay rise.Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs.In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees.A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well—and a further third said they were not thanked enough.In both cases, staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.The result of the survey shows that there would be around £52 billion loss in productivity if the employees felt less appreciated.According to the firm, praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise—and works out much cheaper for bosses.Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them, but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.The survey found that those in bluecollar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well.But it seems that they most need such praise.In regional terms, Scottish staff felt most undervalued.Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise.However, workers in the NorthEast are less impressed by being praised by the boss, as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly.Older employees and women need the most reassurance, according to psychologist Averil Leimon.She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work—they could even promote profits.(1).The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of money every year because.(A).(B).(C).(D).答案:D politeness makes employees expect pay rise politeness is less likely to make staff work harder politeness helps employers find proper employees politeness helps employers reduce the cost of staff employment(2).Workers doing well but not getting thanks from their bosses will probably.(A).leave for jobs elsewhere(B).work harder to get praise from their bosses(C).exert themselves in their work to get pay rise(D).work harder to get encouragement from their bosses 答案:A
(3).According to the survey, of the employees believed they were praised as much as expected.(A).25%
(B).(C).(D).答案:A 30% 40% 75%
(4).The survey shows that those who do not pay much attention to praise are.(A).staff from Scotland(B).workers in NorthEast(C).older and women employees(D).older and women employees 答案:B
(5).It can be concluded from the passage that.(A).bluecollar employees are expecting more pay rise(B).pleasant workplace could promote business profits(C).pay rise is an important motivation for manual workers(D).words of praise could possibly increase business profits 答案:D 3.A centuriesold tradition, illustrated in a modern childrens book, links the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.“The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see.He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.The little girl had just turned five.„Stand up, little one,‟ he asked the girl softly.„I did this for your mother, your uncles, your older brother, and now you!‟ Then, he handed the book to her.„Taste!‟
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.„Whats that taste?‟ the grandpa asked.The little girl answered,„Sweet!‟
Then all of the family said in a single voice,„Yes, and so is knowledge, but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to go after it through the pages of a book!‟
The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers.Soon she was going to learn to read.”
This is the beginning of a profoundly moving childrens book entitled Thank You, Mr.Falker.In this book, Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read, inspired by the honey on the book.It wasnt until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word.Reading this book,we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books.And with the printed words that are active with meaning, the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews, to a greater or lesser degree, in every reading.Much as the author of the book Thank You, Mr.Falker puts it,“Almost as if it were magic, or as if light poured into her brain, the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before…And she understood the whole thing…Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf, the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago.She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness…Then she held the book, honey and all, close to her chest.She could feel tears roll down her cheeks, but they werent tears of sadness—she was happy, so very happy.”
(1).The girl who tasted the honey on the book was.(A).nearly six years old(B).less than five years old(C).more than six years old(D).a little more than five years old 答案:D
(2).It can be inferred from the passage that.(A).the girls mother and uncles were good scholars(B).Mr.Falker helped Patricia Polacco write her book for children(C).the honeyonthebook tradition has been practised for many generations(D).the girl who tasted the honey on the book writes the book Thank You, Mr.Falker 答案:C
(3).The book entitled Thank You, Mr.Falker is about.(A).the early life of Mr.Falker(B).Polaccos early experience with reading(C).the magic power of written words on children(D).how the honey on the book makes children feel happy 答案:B
(4).The main purpose of this passage is to.(A).introduce a “profoundly moving”childrens book(B).tell that childrens verbal capacity is very important(C).show that words are magic and they make children happy(D).show how the girl who tasted the honey on the book grew into a writer 答案:A
(5)..The last paragraph implies that the happiness of the little girl came from
(A).(B).(C).(D).答案:B the honey she tasted the ability to read books the book her grandpa had shown her the collective memory that accepted her
