I've been a patron（老主顾）all my life, and for the past nine years I’ve worked at multiple libraries and archives in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country 36 through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work 37 a career and business center, a community gathering place and a base for hope. ‎ In the spring of 2007 I got a library internship at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually 38 , but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax 39 . Yet patrons weren't looking for Mosby's Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business. ‎ I 40 people's interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were 41 reality, and they were looking for Plan B. ‎ Things 42 in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to trouble Michigan. Last year, we 43 a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked（补充）every hour. Each night the library closed, the display was ‎ bare. We kept the job resources display up for months, 44 the fact that we normally keep displays up for a week.‎ Then there’s the 45 credit market. People feel concerned about their future and want to get 46 . They can’t afford a(n) 47 adviser, but 48 books is free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan.‎ The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work 49 hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately. But I’m 50 to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle. In Michigan, we haven’t lost hope. As long as there are libraries here, there will always be hope. ‎ ‎36. A. survives B. passes C. struggles D. experiences ‎37.

The overall 2017 winner will receive a $200 holiday ticket and go on a 16-night wildlife holiday.‎ Doug Scott ‎ Guess what the young monk is doing! He is playing with his smart phone in secret.‎ ‎ PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Smart phones have taken over the world. Even without the photographer’s caption there is composition, humor and fun here. To the outsider, he could be having a short sleep, or lost in meditation. My eyes stop on this for a while and the admission of smart phones cannot be changed in any corner of the world.‎ Eloise Campbell ‎ I was able to follow this young eagle hunter and his eagle in the mountains of Mongolia and watched how it was trained. Though the bond between them was new, to me it seemed unbreakable—they were coexisting peacefully with each other.‎ Adam Cunningham White ‎ This shot grasps the moment when we had to change direction with this group of around 300 migrating reindeer in northern Sweden. They can become confused very quickly, making this moment risky. They could run in different directions immediately, making it difficult to get them back into a group.‎ Nick Dale ‎ This is a close-up of the left eye of a zebra.‎ ‎ PAUL GOLDSTEIN JUDGE: Perfect, I have seen these before but rarely done with this competence. The depth of field is exactly right. The bold cropping and blue to the left make people interested. Zebras are easy to photograph but not often this well.‎ 51. What does Doug Scott probably want to tell us with his photo?‎ A. The monk’s life is full of pleasure.‎ B. What we see is not necessarily true.‎ C. The monk’s mental world should be noticed.‎ D. Smart phones are involved in people’s life worldwide.‎ 52. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. The winner of the photography competition will receive $200 as an award.‎ B. A harmonious atmosphere is reflected in Eloise Campbell’s photo.‎ C. The picture of migrating reindeer is taken in southern Sweden.‎ D. Nick Dale’s courage to approach wild animals impresses the judge most.‎ B ‎ Tom Savage has quit his job as a research analyst and found a perfect new start setting up his own social enterprise in Madagascar. He tells readers of the UK newspaper the Guardian that they can do likewise and follow their dream. Every day dozens of Toms are reported in newspapers and magazines and on career websites and blogs. Their real-life tales aren’t there to surprise or shock, as a result, many readers are taking on board.‎ ‎ Sophie Collins, 23, is a biology graduate from London. But before starting her course at university in Edinburgh, Scotland, she took a year out and enrolled in an Art Foundation course. “Art makes me happy, even if it won’t pay my bills for a couple of years.” said Collins. ‎ ‎ The idea that you should be free to follow your dream, whether as a young person or as a middle-aged adult with a well-established career, is on the upgrade.‎ ‎ In schools, students are taught that they can do whatever they want and can be whoever they choose so long as they work hard enough at that dream. People in the public eye, such as Italian classical singer Andrea Bocelli, have given up positions in admirable professions to take their chance on fame. Bocelli was a lawyer before he made it as a singer, selling 70 million albums worldwide. The media and reality TV talent shows have also played their part in encouraging young people to follow their heart. In 2006, 18-year-old Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor. He later secured a record deal with Sony. Each year since then, hundreds of thousands of people have applied to the show, hoping, and expecting, that the chance to realize their ambitions will soon come. Even if they don’t have a particular dream in mind, many young people are encouraged to take a year or two to find where their interests lie, instead of jumping into a job which they may later tire of. George Evans, 24, is determined to find a job which interests him. “I think most of us recognize that it is happiness and not money that is the ultimate goal,” said the Cambridge University graduate. “Unless you are passionate about your career, you won’t truly succeed.”‎ 51. Which of the following statements is NOT true?‎ ‎ A. Sophie Collins took an art course before entering university to pursue her interest.‎ ‎ B. Andrea Bocelli, who used to be a lawyer, enjoys great success as a classical singer.‎ ‎ C. Ray Quinn achieved his career success though he had performed poorly at school.‎ ‎ D. George Evans thinks happiness counts more than money when choosing a career.‎ ‎54. What does the underlined phrase mean?‎ ‎ A. sharing the same boat B. accepting the idea ‎ ‎ C. rejecting the concept D. ignoring the fact ‎55. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ ‎ A. Choose a career that truly appeals to you.‎ ‎ B. Make efforts to be interested in your job.‎ ‎ C. Make attempts to seek a meaningful career.‎ ‎ D. Build up confidence when seeking a job.‎ C In 1970 archaeologists digging at Ein Gedi, an ancient settlement on the shores of what is now called the Dead Sea, dug up a scroll(卷册) which was written around 200-300 AD. But sadly, it was indeed so damaged in a fire that any attempt to handle it simply made things worse. That left archaeologists with a cruel dilemma: attempt to read their discovery, which would destroy it, or preserve it as found, but remain ignorant of what they said.‎ Technology, however, marches on. In a paper just published in Science Advances, a team led by William Seales, a computer scientist at the University of Kentucky, describe how they have managed to read the charred(烧焦的) scroll without having to open it—or, indeed, to touch it at all.‎ The first part of Dr Seales’s remote-reading method was to take an X-ray of the scroll, or rather, multiple X-rays from different directions that could be combined by a computer into a 3D representation of the scroll’s inside. This is a well-established procedure. It is, for example, the basis of medical scanning. The real magic came when the 3D image was fed into a series of computer algorithms that attempted to “unroll” the scroll, leaving it to be read at an archaeologist’s leisure.‎ To do this, the algorithms in question had to perform several tricky tasks, the first of which was to work out how to distinguish particular layers(层) of the rolled-up scroll from those above and below. The next step was to look for small density(浓度) variations that might reflect the presence or absence of ink— and thus reveal individual letters. The final task was to take the hundreds of small images picked out by the algorithms and put them into a single, larger one. This was a matter both of science and of art. The algorithms got the jigsaw(拼图游戏) right ‎ only half of the time, meaning people had to do much of the work by hand.‎ The result, though, is worth the effort. The outcome of Dr Seales’s labour is a computer image showing the scroll as it would look if it were unrolled. The resolution is so good that the text is easily recognized. The scroll turns out to be part of Leviticus. It is thus the oldest known example of one of the first five books of the Bible.‎ 56. What was archaeologists’ headache about the scroll?‎ A. The words on the scroll were beyond recognition.‎ B. The condition of the scroll was beyond preservation.‎ C. The scroll was unlikely to be read without destruction.‎ D. The repairing of the scroll was difficult to complete.‎ 57. What is the key to Dr Seales’s remote-reading method?‎ A. Multiple X-rays. B. Computer algorithms. ‎ C. Particular layers. D. Density variations. ‎ ‎58. What does the writer mean by “tricky” in paragraph 4? ‎ ‎ A. The tasks involve much accurate work.‎ ‎ B. The tasks involve great patience and efforts.‎ ‎ C. The tasks involve skills of science and art.‎ ‎ D. The tasks involve humans’ work by hand.‎ ‎59. What is the result of Dr Seales’s effort on the scroll? ‎ ‎ A. The scroll is unrolled to be easily recognized.‎ ‎ B. The scroll is repaired to be easily recognized.‎ ‎ C. The scroll is easily recognized as it was.‎ ‎ D. The scroll is found to be the oldest known Bible. ‎ D In 2009 a new flu virus was discovered. Combining elements of the viruses that cause bird flu and swine flu, this new virus, named H1N1, spread quickly. Within weeks, public health agencies around the world feared a terrible pandemic (流行病) was under way. Some commentators warned of an outbreak on the scale of the 1918 Spanish flu. Worse, no vaccine(疫苗) was readily available. The only hope public ‎ health authorities had was to slow its spread. But to do that, they needed to know where it already was.‎ In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) required that doctors inform them of new flu cases. Yet the picture of the pandemic that showed up was always a week or two out of date. People might feel sick for days but wait before consulting a doctor. Relaying the information back to the central organizations took time, and the CDC only figured out the numbers once a week. With a rapidly spreading disease, a two-week lag is an eternity. This delay completely blinded public health agencies at the most urgent moments.‎ ‎ Few weeks before the H1N1 virus made headlines, engineers at the Internet giant Google published a paper in Nature. It got experts’ attention but was overlooked. The authors explained how Google could “predict” the spread of the winter flu, not just nationally, but down to specific regions and even states. Since Google receives more than three billion search queries every day and saves them all, it had plenty of data to work with.‎ Google took the 50 million most common search terms that Americans type and compared the list with CDC data on the spread of seasonal flu between 2003 and 2008. The idea was to identify areas affected by the flu virus by what people searched for on the Internet. Others had tried to do this with Internet search terms, but no one else had as much data-processing power, as Google.‎ While the Googlers guessed that the searches might be aimed at getting flu information—typing phrases like “medicine for cough and fever”—that wasn’t the point: they didn’t know, and they designed a system that didn’t care. All their system did was look for correlations(相关性) between the frequency of certain search queries and the spread of the flu over time and space. In total, they processed 450 million different mathematical models in order to test the search terms, comparing their predictions against actual flu cases from the CDC in 2007 and 2008. And their software found a combination of 45 search terms that had a strong correlation between their prediction and the official figures nationwide. Like the CDC, they could tell where the flu had spread, but unlike the CDC they could tell it in near real time,‎ ‎ not a week or two after the fact.‎ Thus when the H1N1 crisis struck in 2009, Google’s system proved to be a more useful and timely indicator than government statistics with their natural reporting lags. Public health officials were armed with valuable information.‎ Strikingly, Google’s method is built on “big data”—the ability of society to handle information in new ways to produce useful insights or goods and services of significant value. However, ▲ . For example, in 2012 it identified a sudden rise in flu cases, but overstated the amount, perhaps because of too much media attention about the flu. Yet what is clear is that the next time a pandemic comes around, the world will have a better tool to predict and thus prevent its spread.‎ 60. The beginning paragraph aims to _____.‎ A. announce the discovery of a new virus ‎ B. describe how severe the disaster was ‎ C. criticize the inability of the authorities ‎ D. introduce the background information 61. The “an eternity” in Paragraph 2 refers to a period of time that is _____.‎ A. too long to bear B. too hard to kill C. too easy to spend ‎ D. too short to use 62. Google’s processing of data to predict the H1N1 crisis does NOT include _____. ‎ A. selecting the data from its database B. checking the data with the CDC database C. ensuring the accuracy of its data ‎ D. relating the data to actual flu cases 63. Google was better than CDC at predicting the H1N1 crisis in that _____.‎ A. Google had more data that were accurate B. Google had more data that were updated C. Google had more reports of H1N1 symptoms D. Google had more medical resources on H1N1 ‎ 60. Which of the following is best suited to the blank “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph?‎ A. it has drawn too much media attention B. it does not have as much value as expected C. it has lost its own advantages nowadays D. it still needs to be improved as a newcomer ‎ 65. The best title of the passage is probably _____. ‎ A. Big Data Finding New Virus B. Big Data Finding New Cures ‎ C. Big Data Killing New Virus D. Big Data Seeing New Trends 第Ⅱ卷 (两部分 共35分)‎ 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)‎ 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。‎ Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. For most teachers, there are many advantages to homework as follows: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals outside the classroom; homework correction allows teachers to know more about how well their students learn and provide some relevant advice. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.‎ There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friend’s house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. It’s obvious that certain places are not suitable for doing homework. What’s more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the involvement of other adults. Parents play an significant role in a child’s education, but they can’t always be available, and a tutor’s ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter’s study may be limited in many ways. The implication is upsetting: ‎ if homework is important to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.‎ If the idea of home can be problematic, so can the concept of work. Again, this will depend largely on the context but, very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间) mean homework is usually something to be completed as fast as possible and ticked off as done. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or downloaded from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even when work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.‎ The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.‎ Is there a way out for homework?‎ Most teachers’ (66) ▲   towards homework It is necessary that a student (67) ▲   what he or she learned in class through doing homework.‎ In the course of doing homework, a student can become an (68) ▲   learner.‎ Teachers can know about a student’s academic (69) ▲   and give their feedback by correcting homework.‎ Some (70) ▲  with homework The places where homework is done isn’t (71) ▲   to a home setting, which also include somewhere unsuitable.‎ Homework isn’t always effective in that some students ‎ ‎(72) ▲   the involvement of other adults.‎ The (73) ▲   of homework may cause teachers and students to be simply (74) ▲  with its completion.‎ Conclusion ‎(75) ▲   many advantages of homework, it doesn’t always work well as expected in reality. ‎ 第五部分 词汇检测（共10小题；每题1分，满分10分）‎ A. 新概念III词汇检测：根据所给句义，进行同义缺词填空(首字母已给)（每空一词，每词1分）‎ ‎76.

Simply watching a favorite television show or laughing at a funny joke can lift a depressed mood. While the happiness produced by such experiences tends to be short lived, a wide social network does promote a more long-lasting state of happiness as a lifestyle.‎ ‎ Surprisingly, income is not a primary factor in determining a person’s level of happiness once the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter have been met. More important is one’s social network. Being socially active may be more effective in increasing one’s immunity（免疫力）to illness than a vaccine.

Take my participation in an English speech competition for example. Initially, I was lacking in confidence in my oral English. However, I held the belief that practice makes perfect. So, I kept practicing speaking English as long as two hours every day and consulted my English teacher about my pronunciation. Finally, my efforts paid off. When I was awarded the first prize, I felt a strong sense of happiness.‎ ‎ Faced with huge pressure from our study, we should do something to promote our sense of happiness. First, we should set a clear goal and keep it in mind. In addition, we can build friendships with optimistic people and move forward with their support.‎ 书面表达评分说明 ‎ 本题总分为20分，评分时，首先根据文章的内容和语言（内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构的数量和准确性、上下文的连贯性及语言的得体性）初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量，确定最后给分。如果没有一定数量的较复杂结构或较高级词汇，通篇文章句型单调、无关联词、文章欠流畅、时态错误太多，降档处理。‎ ‎（一）语言方面：‎ ‎1、词数少于130或多于170的，从总分中减去2分。‎ ‎ 2、语言形式错误分为大错和小错。句子结构、时态、语态、主谓一致、句子缺谓语动词等为大错。小错：介词、冠词、单词拼写、大小写、标点符号等为小错。1个大错扣1分，1个小错0.5分。‎ ‎ 3、如层次不清楚，写作没分段，从总分中减去2分。‎ ‎ 4.、如果没有使用较复杂的句子结构，评分时将分数降低1个档次。‎ ‎ 5.、如书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。投机：开头一段和最后一段切题，中间部分从阅读理解中抄一段判零分。‎ ‎（二）内容要点：‎ ‎★文章应分为四大部分，具体赋分如下：‎ ‎1）概括文本内容： 5分；内容应包括：①幸福感来源的多样性，2分 ②social network是导致幸福感的重要来源，3分。‎ ‎2）幸福的涵义： 3分。‎ ‎3) 带来幸福感的经历：7分 ‎4）提升幸福感的措施：5分（主题句1分，每个方法各2分）。‎ ‎（三）卷面：‎ ‎ 1、三处乱涂扣1分，五处乱涂扣2分，五处以上扣3分（乱涂的鉴定：如在写错的单词上划上1-2道线的不算乱涂，三道线以上以及不规则的乱划算乱涂）。‎ ‎ 2、不按要求将内容写在规定范围以外的，扣1分。‎ ‎ 3、书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低1个档次。‎ 附录：各档次的给分范围和要求 第五档 (很好)：(20—16分) ‎ ‎1．完全完成了试题规定的任务。2．覆盖所有内容要点。3．应用了较多的语法结构和词汇。4．语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误，但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致；具备较强的语言运用能力。5．有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。6．完全达到了预期的写作目的。‎ 第四档 (好)：(15—13分) ‎ ‎1．完全完成了试题规定的任务。2．虽漏掉1、2个次重点，但覆盖所有主要内容。3．应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。4．语法结构或词汇方面应用基本准确，些许错误主要是因尝试较复杂语法结构或词汇所致。5．应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。6．达到了预期的写作目的。‎ 第三档 (适当)：(12—9分) ‎ ‎1．基本完成了试题规定的任务。2．虽漏掉一些内容，但覆盖所有主要内容。3．应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。4．有一些语法结构或词汇方面的错误，但不影响理解。5．应用简单的语句间的连接成分，使全文内容连贯。6．整体而言，基本达到了预期的写作目的。 ‎ 第二档 (较差)：(5—8分) ‎ ‎1．未恰当完成试题规定的任务。2．漏掉或未描述清楚一些主要内容，写了一些无关内容。3．语法结构单调、词汇项目有限。4．有一些语法结构或词汇方面的错误，影响了对写作内容的理解。5．较少使用语句间的连接成分，内容缺少连贯性。6．信息未能清楚地传达给读者。‎ 第一档 (差)：(1—4分) ‎ ‎1．未完成试题规定的任务。2．明显遗漏主要内容，写了一些无关内容，原因可能是未理解试题要求。3．语法结构单调、词汇项目有限。4．较多语法结构或词汇方面的错误，影响对写作内容的理解。5．缺乏语句间的连接成分，内容不连贯。6．信息未能传达给读者。 ‎ 不得分：（0分） ‎ 未能传达给读者任何信息：内容太少，无法评判；写的内容均与所要求内容无关或所写内容无法看清。‎ 答 案 解 析 完形填空 ‎36.

C 根据倒数第四段Ray Quinn, barely out of school, finished second in the British TV talent show The X Factor，并未提及Ray Quinn performed poorly at school可知答案为C。‎ 54. B 根据划线短语前后Tom Savage和Sophie Collins的例子可知，读者接受了dozens of Toms的寻梦的观点。‎ 55. A 通读全文，尤其是最后三段中的to find where their interests lie和to find a job which interests him可知，本文的主旨是寻找你真正喜欢的工作。‎ C篇 56. ‎ C 根据第一段“That left archaeologists with a cruel dilemma: attempt to read their discovery, which would destroy it, or preserve it as found, but remain ignorant of what they said.”可知答案。‎ 57. ‎ B 根据第三段“The real magic came when the 3D image was fed into a series of computer algorithms that attempted to “unroll” the scroll,...”可知答案。‎ 58. ‎ A 目标词汇出现在第四段的主题句中，因此tricky对下文三个步骤的特征起到统摄作用。细读下文可知，the algorithms需要完成的任务十分精细。B项未提及，C项和D项只涉及最后一步，不全面。‎ 59. ‎ C 根据最后一段“The outcome of Dr Seales’s labour is a computer image showing the scroll as it would look if it were unrolled.”可知答案。‎ Ｄ篇 51.

We asked 100 people what they did to deal with their headaches. 18As you can see on the chart here, the most common answer was “Taking headache pills”. The next most common answer was “Rubbing my head”. “Sleeping”, “Taking a shower”, and “Eating a snack” were some of the other responses. But the best cure for a headache that we know of was all the way down at No.10, so it’s something that most people don’t think about doing: “Drinking water”. It’s true: headaches are often the body’s way of telling you that it’s thirsty, and a glass of water might be all you need to feel like yourself again. Experts say that room-temperature water is better for you than cold water if you’re thirsty. Of course, some people get very serious headaches because they are sensitive to light, sound, or certain smells. These headaches are different, and many people have to take strong medicine in order to make them go away. 19If you hurt your head and have a headache afterward, it is important that you see a doctor right away, as this could be due to a more serious injury. But if it’s a normal headache, try drinking some water before you reach those pills. It might be just what you need. 17OK, we’ll be right back after these commercials...‎
