The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.‎ The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever.‎ Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim（认领）it soon.”‎ After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, “Yes, it’s you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.” The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr. George Sang?” The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?” “It’s a lottery ticket（彩票）,” said the man. The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked. George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist.‎ The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist, “At that time you needed money to pay the tuition （学费）and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money. Why didn’t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?” The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.” ‎ Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us. ‎ ‎21. What did the young artist do at the railway station on Friday?‎ ‎ A. He played the violin to make some money.‎ ‎ B. He waited for the train to Vienna. ‎ ‎ C. He came to buy a train ticket to Vienna.‎ ‎ D. He walked around the New York railway station.‎ ‎22. Which of the following statements is true according to the words on the paper? ‎ ‎ A. The hat belonged to George Sang.‎ ‎ B. George Sang had lost something important.‎ ‎ C. The young artist needed George Sang’s advice.‎ ‎ D. The young artist wanted some money from George Sang.‎ ‎23. From this article, we can learn that ______.‎ ‎ A. we should share something valuable with others ‎ B. playing the violin can make you honest C. it’s acceptable to keep the lottery if you find one ‎ D. being honest is very important to us B A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK. ‎ The documentary, titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough? focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire. ‎ The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic（学术的）） performance. ‎ The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy. ‎ This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote ‎ learning（死记硬背） instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment（思想感情） from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching. ‎ Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students’ interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply ‘transplanted’ into another place.” ‎ Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”‎ ‎24. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens? ‎ A. To test the intelligence of the UK teens.‎ B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency. ‎ C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.‎ D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods. ‎ ‎25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourth paragraph? ‎ A. Extremely strict B. Quite friendly C. Rather cold D. Very attractive ‎ ‎26. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods ______. ‎ A. fit all countries B. could be improved C. are the best in the world D. are not as good as British methods 27. According to the passage, you know______.‎ ‎ A. A successful education method can be simply transplanted.‎ ‎ B. A successful education method can not be followed.‎ ‎ C. Culture is very important to education methods.‎ ‎ D. Education methods can change culture.‎ C While CCTV’s educational show Animal World is well known, few big screen wildlife documentaries have been made by China’s film industry.‎ But Born in China, which came out on Aug 2, 2016 may be important for Chinese filmmakers who want to get into nature -themed films. The movie, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and shows the animals’ lives during different seasons.‎ Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wild—giant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but also shows Chinese traditional culture.‎ ‎ A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The panda’s gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.‎ Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in China’s most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting traits(特点). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility.‎ Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raising her babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(脚步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武术).‎ ‎“Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditional culture,” director Lu told the reporter. “Chinese people have learned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature -themed documentary.”‎ ‎28. How is Born in China special according to the article?‎ A. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals.‎ B. It’s considered the best nature-themed film to come out of China.‎ C. It’s the first big screen wildlife documentary ever made in China.‎ D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals.‎ ‎29. We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _______.‎ A. the story of the giant pandas shows the importance of exploring the world B. the story of the golden monkeys was inspired by the Monkey King C. the stories show how animals grow up to be independent D. the story about snow leopards shows what people can learn from animals ‎30. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. The stories of 3 animal families B. Symbols of China C. Wildlife born in China D. Nature shows culture 31. According to the article, which of the following is not true?.‎ A. Culture can be influenced by nature.‎ B. Monkey stands for impatience , cleverness and energy.‎ C. People can imitate（模仿） animals.‎ D. Nature can instead of culture D One advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.‎ ‎“Nothing fits,” said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior in electrical and computer engineering at Rice‎ ‎University. “Everyone says this. They order clothes and they don’t fit. People get very unhappy.”‎ Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtual (虚拟)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, ‘The color is wrong’ or ‘I got the right size but it still does not fit.’ We want to make it like you’re in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.‎ Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang ‎ scans Wong and turns her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong’s dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shopper’s 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.‎ Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men.”‎ ‎32. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadvantage?‎ A. ‎ Students may easily get addicted to it.‎ B. ‎ Clothes bought online may not fit.‎ C. ‎ It attracts more online clothing shoppers.‎ D. ‎ It causes shoppers to waste too much money.‎ ‎33.Wong and Zhang got the idea to design a virtual fitting room from ____.‎ A. their shopping experiences B. a program at their university C. some shop-owners’ complaints D. the Xbox 360 video game player ‎34.Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room?‎ A. scanning -- trying on clothes -- getting images B. trying on clothes -- getting models -- scanning C. scanning -- getting models --trying on clothes ‎ D. trying on clothes -- getting images -- scanning ‎35.What did Wong think of her virtual fitting room?‎ A. It is perfectly developed. B.It will have its market share.‎ C. It is limited to women shoppers. D. It is like a kind of video game player.‎ 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。‎ Humor plays an important role in relationships. In new relationships, humor can be an effective tool not just for attracting the other person but also for overcoming any awkwardness or embarrassment. 36 ‎ Sharing the pleasure of humor creates a sense of connection between two people. When you laugh with one another, you create a positive tie between you. This tie acts as a strong ‎ buffer(缓冲) against stress, disagreements, disappointments, and bad patches in a relationship. And laughter really is infectious. 37 But don’t worry if you’re not naturally a lighthearted, humorous person----you can learn to access your playful side and develop your sense of fun.‎ Like any tool, humor can be used in negative as well as positive ways. Humor can only help you overcome relationship problems when both partners can understand the joke. 38 If your partner or friend isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it. Humor in relationships should be equally fun and enjoyable for both people.‎ Don’t use humor to cover up other emotions. 39 That’s when it is used as a cover for avoiding, rather than coping with, painful emotions. You can be funny about the truth, but covering up the truth isn’t funny. When you use humor and playfulness as a cover for other emotions, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships.‎ ‎ 40 The important thing is to find enjoyable activities that help you embrace your playful nature with other people. As humor and play become an unseparated part of your life, you’ll begin to find daily opportunities for using your new-found skills to help build and maintain your relationships.‎ A. Humor can help you and your loved one.‎ B. There are times when humor is not healthy.‎ C. It’s important to be sensitive to the other person.‎ D. It’s never too late to develop your humorous side.‎ E. The more you joke, play, and laugh----the easier it becomes.‎ F. Just hearing someone laugh can make you smile and join in on the fun.‎ G. In longer-term relationships, humor can keep things exciting and fresh.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分) ‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ As I sat there one night in Namibia, staring out at one of the most perfect sunsets I’d seen in a while, I realized why I never wanted to visit Africa alone.
