Like many other great churches, the abbey is designed in the shape of a cross, recalling the death of Jesus Christ, the source of new life for all who acknowledge him. Since the crowning of William the Conqueror here in 1066, the Abbey has been the nation’s Coronation church. Coronation Chair, which was made in 1301, has been used at every Coronation since 1308. In the 16th century, the Church of England became independent of Roman Catholic Church, but the Abbey kept much of its tradition while developing its own distinctive forms of worship,. The Abbey is also the burial and memorial place for many famous historical figures from the last thousand years of British history. ‎ Welcome to Westminster Abbey Down through the centuries it has been visited by millions of people and today we feel very glad that your are becoming one of our visitors.‎ A place to pray ‎ Above all the Abbey is a working church-a place for Christian worship. Each hour, for a minute or so, we pause to pray. You are invited to join in—or you might prefer simply to take a quiet moment to reflect. Everyone is welcome at the regular services throughout the day and a priest is always on hand for private conversation.‎ A place of hospitality ‎ The Abbey was first founded as a Benedictine monastery. In addition to their devotion, the Benedictines are known for the welcome they offer all visitors. You are very welcome guest in the Abbey and we hope you enjoy the extraordinary sights and sounds of this magnificent building.‎ A place to give ‎ ‎ Westminster Abbey is entirely self-funding. It receives no financial support from the State, the Crown or the Church of England. We rely heavily on visitor’s entry fees and donations to pay for the Abbey’s daily running and for the preservation of this historic building. By supporting us today you have joined millions of others who have helped safeguard the Abbey’s heritage.‎ General information Tours ‎ ‎ There are regular special tours in English(including a visit to the Shrine of St. Edward) led by the Abbey staff. Please ask at the information point by the main North Door. ‎ Answers and advice ‎ Abbey staff, in their distinctive red, green and blue gowns are always delighted to help you—please feel free to approach them. ‎ Photography ‎ Photography and filming are not permitted in the Abbey. There is, however, a well stocked shop with a wide selection of gifts, books and postcards.‎ The Abbey shop ‎ The Westminster Abbey Shop sells a range of goods inspired by the life, history and architecture of the Abbey, and reflecting its status as a visitor attraction and iconic landmark in central London.‎ ‎21.The nation’s Coronations have been held in the Abbey ever since __________.‎ ‎ A. the 10th century B. the 11th century C. the 14th century D. the 16th century ‎22. The part “Welcome to Westminster Abbey” is mainly about the Abbey’s __________.‎ ‎ A. traditions B. entertainments C. regulations D. locations ‎23. Visitors are allowed to do the following things inside the Abbey Except__________.‎ ‎ A. ask Abbey staff in blue gowns for help B. have a word with the priest ‎ ‎ C. pray at the regular services D. take photographs of sights B ‎ Imagine that you’re looking at your company-issued smartphone and you notice an e-mail from LinkedIn:” These companies are looking for candidates like you!” You aren’t necessarily searching for a job, but you’re always open to opportunities, so out of curiosity, you click on the link. A few minutes later your boss appears at your desk. “We’ve noticed that you’re spending more time on LinkedIn lately, so I want to talk with you about your career and whether you’re happy here,” she says. Uh-oh.‎ It’s an awkward scene. Attrition has always been expensive for companies, but in many industries the cost of losing good workers is rising, owing to tight labor markets. Thus companies are intensifying their efforts to predict which workers are at high risk of leaving so that managers can try to stop them. Tactics range from electronic monitor to sophisticated analyses of employees’ social media lives.‎ ‎ Some of this work may be a reason to let employees quit. In general, people leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a higher pay; these reasons have held steady for years.‎ ‎ New research conducted by CEB, a Washington-based technology company, looks not just at why workers quit but also at when.”We’ve learned that what really affects people is their sense of how they’re doing compared with other people in their peer group, or with where they thought they would be at a certain point in life,” says Brian Kropp, who heads CEB’s HR practice. “We’ve learned to focus on moments that allow people to make these comparisons.”‎ ‎ Technology also provides clues about which star employees might be eyeing the exit. Companies can tell whether employees using work computers or phones are spending time on(or even just opening e-mails from) career websites, and research shows that more firms are paying attention to these things. Large companies have also begun tracking badge swipes—employees’ use of an ID to enter and exit the building or the parking garage—to identify patterns that suggest a worker may be interviewing for a job. ‎ ‎24. From the first paragraph , we can infer LinkedIn is __________.‎ ‎ A. An e-mail B. a job from the Internet ‎ C. a professional social net work D. a world-famous company ‎25. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?‎ ‎ A. The cost of losing good workers is rising. ‎ ‎ B. Companies are stricter with workers than before.‎ ‎ C. Measures have been taken to find the potential workers who want to quit.‎ ‎ D. finding new jobs has been a trend for most workers. ‎ ‎26. According the research by CEB, which of the following might be the most probable reason for workers to quit their jobs?‎ ‎ A. they don’t like their bosses. B. Workers are always doing comparisons. ‎ ‎ C. Not seeing opportunities for promotion. D. to find a higher-paid job.‎ ‎27. what is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ ‎ A. to make a review on phenomenon. B. To tell us the leaders’ concerns. ‎ ‎ C. To show a new trend in the job market. D. To stress the role of new technologies.‎ ‎ C Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?‎ A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the U.S. interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower that at work. ‎ So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it. ‎ Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine,” explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring ‘Aha!’ moments to us.”‎ Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way , according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your creative Brain , “ A showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation period’ for your ideas.” ‎ Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location , temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”‎ Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn’t just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind. ‎ ‎28. According to the article, what changes can showering cause?‎ ‎ A. Bringing the terrible moment to us. B. Setting the creative part of the brain free. ‎ ‎ C. Leading to boredom or tiredness. D. Increasing the level of dopamine. ‎ ‎29. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help_________. ‎ ‎ A. turn one’s attention inward B. draw one’s attention to the outside world ‎ C. make an important breakthrough D. many chemical changes to take place ‎30. According to Kaufman, why can taking showers make us creative?‎ ‎ A. Because taking showers happens more often. ‎ B. Because taking showers can make us acquire a fresh experience, inspiring us.‎ C. Because nothing but taking showers can get our inspiration. ‎ D. Because taking showers can help us try something unexpected.‎ ‎31. The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to ________. ‎ ‎ A. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration ‎ B. point out to readers that it’s hard to get inspiration ‎ C. explain how to link inspiration with readers’ daily lives ‎ D. show that creativity often comes from strange places ‎ D Education has long been the fuel that powered the mighty engine of our nation’s economy. As the number of Americans with college degrees rose rapidly right after World War Ⅱ,our middle class grew dramatically and the United States reached new heights of job creation, productivity and prosperity, becoming the envy of the world.‎ But today American students are falling far behind those in other nations. One discouraging sign came in early December, with the release of 2015 test scores for the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, an exam given every three years to compare the performance of 15-year-olds around the world in math, science and reading. American students dropped from 28th place in math in 2012 to 35th place in 2015, among the 60 nations where students took the PISA test in both years. In 2015, among 73 nations where the test was administered to 540,000 students, American students dropped to 40th place in math, and placed 25th in science and 24th in reading.‎ One major reason is that government at every level in the United States have reduced funding on education. Of 50 states, 35 provided less overall state funding per student in public schools from kindergarten through 12th grade in 2016 than they did in 2008. In 27 states, local funding per student fell at the same time. These cuts do great harm to students by forcing schools to increase class sizes, keep teacher pay low, reduce the number of electives offered, cut back on purchases of education technology and fail to maintain the school buildings.‎ Allowing this alarming trend to continue by starving public schools, colleges and universities of the money they need to offer the world –class education will have long—term consequences as well. These include a weakened economy, higher unemployment, and, most importantly, a lower American standard of living and reduced national security. This won’t come next month or next year, but it awaits us in the years ahead if our leaders fail act soon to reverse the education funding cuts of recent years.‎ ‎32. The writer implies in the first paragraph that .‎ ‎ A. the U.S.A became the center of the world after WW Ⅱ ‎ B. many Americans became wealthy because of the fuel ‎ C. the U.S.A has reached new heights in terms of education ‎ ‎ D. a person’s education level is closely related to his income ‎33. How does the writer support his view in the second paragraph?‎ ‎ A. By assuming results. B. By asking questions.‎ ‎ C. By quoting the saying. D. By listing the statistics.‎ ‎34. How many states provided more overall state funding per student in public schools in 2016 than they did in 2008?‎ ‎ A. About 15. B. About 20. C. About 25. D. About 35.‎ ‎35. Which of the following is NOT the long-term consequence of funding cuts on education?‎ ‎ A. Bigger class sizes. B. A weakened economy.‎ ‎ C. Higher unemployment. D. Reduced national security.‎ 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。‎ ‎ When we are grown-ups, it’s quite natural to look back on our different stages of life and remember who was there to see us through. 36 While some people’s high school friendships gradually end, mine have stuck with me through every bit of life since. And I suppose high school friends are the friends you’ll build the strongest relationships with. ‎ ‎ 37 Whether it is the bad haircut or the braces you wear, your high school friends help you through it al. They tell you that you look wonderful when you cannot go out in public with that hairdo. 38__ ‎ ‎ They understand the most about you. High school friends know you better than anyone else. They can just look at you and know how you’re feeling. You cannot hide much from them. 39 And they’d rather help deal with the problem at hand than let it go. So even when you don’t want to hear it, prepare yourself—because they’re not going to stop trying until you’re back to your normal self.‎ ‎ They make for the best reunion. Reunions are harder to organize when friends live across the country. However, with high school friends, it’s easy to enjoy the time together—you can often pick up just where you left off, no matter how long ago that was. Friendships can be hard to keep. 40 ‎ A. We could depend on our friends all the time. ‎ ‎ B. They are with you through your embarrassing stages. ‎ ‎ C. They can sense something is off when you’re the slightest bit strange.‎ D. For me, I often think about my fantastic group of high school friends.‎ E. They build up your self-confidence to get you through each tough situation. ‎ F. Let’s pray the flower of friendship would always bloom brightly in our hearts. ‎ G. But it never seems like hard work with the ones you’ve known and loved for long.‎ 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，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ Yesterday, I went to a grocery store to buy supper myself.
