They expect work to be fun, and if it’ s not fun, they refuse to do it. It’s true that emerging adults have high hopes for work. Ian, a 22-year-old, chose to go into journalism, even though he knew that: “If I’m a journalist making $20,000 a year, my dad (a wealthy physician) makes vastly more than that. ”More important than the money was finding a job that he could enjoy. The great majority of rising adults spend most of their twenties in a series of dull and low-paying jobs as they search for something better. It’s unfair to consider the many hard-working emerging adults with a stereotype (刻板模式) that is true for only a small percentage of them. ‎ Another widespread slur against emerging adults is that they are selfish. It’s probably true that most emerging adults today grow up with a higher level of self-respect than in previous generations. Their Baby Boomer parents keep telling them: ‘You’re special!’ ‘You can be whatever you want to be. ’Popular culture has communicated similar messages in movies, television shows and songs. But that doesn’t mean they’re selfish. It simply means that they are highly confident in their abilities to make a good life for themselves. ‎ Oddly, these stereotypes continue even though there is persuasive evidence to the contrary. Rates of violent crime committed by young men have dropped. Not only have bad things gone down, but good things about this generation have gone up. Nearly 90 percent of American college freshmen reported doing volunteer work in the past year, the highest level ever. Furthermore, applications to ‎ post-college volunteer programs have reached record levels. Young Americans are also more tolerant and accepting of differences than older generations. ‎ The origins of the many prejudices against today’s emerging adults are complex(复杂的), but maybe one key reason is that many of their elders still use old yardsticks to measure their progress. The pace of social, economic and technological change over the past half-century has been quick, and what is ‘normal’ among young people has changed so fast that the rest of society has not yet caught up. ‎ ‎21.Ian chose to be a journalist because _____. ‎ A. he loved the job very much B. he followed his father’s advice ‎ C. journalists make big money D. it’s an interesting job ‎ ‎22. What does the underlined word “ slur ” in Paragraph 2 mean? ‎ A. A false conclusion. B. An unfair criticism. ‎ C. A wrong prediction. D. An unconfirmed statement. ‎ ‎23. We can infer from the last paragraph that elder people should _____. ‎ A. stop using old views to judge young people B. think in a more complicated way ‎ C. recognize they’re behind the times D. believe that young people are normal B It was the week before Christmas, and the line at the post office snaked twice around the hall. It seemed that no one was moving. The office looked like an exhibit in the Postal Wax Museum. I came to the self-service machine where the line was much shorter. ‎ I don’t like self-service. I tell people it’s because I don’t approve of taking jobs away from people, but the real problem is that I’m no good at it. The machine always asks me something I don’ t know the answer to. I hate this. I am a retired letter carrier, and we moved mail the old-fashioned way: hand to hand, human to human. We were fast, friendly, and frequently accurate(精确的). ‎ The woman in the front of the line was clicking away at the screen. And the clicks were surprisingly loud. Any signs of hesitation on her part were telegraphed to the whole lobby. I felt sorry for her: The machine could smell fear. The next person took a long time, too. I breathed deeply. By the time it was my turn, I had the heart rate of a yogi (瑜伽修行者). ‎ Under the weight of concern from the people in line behind me, I felt a growing duty to minimize the seconds between clicks. Finally it was time to slide in a credit card. The machine didn’ t take it. ‎ ‎“Try putting it in the other way,” the gentleman behind me suggested. No good. ‎ ‎“I’ve got a different card,” I said, and fished around for that one, beginning to sweat. The machine wanted a PIN, but not the one I suggested.‎ ‎“Start over,” I clicked, intending to try the first card again. ‎ Oh no. I had to start all over again. ‎ ‎“I’m sorry,” I said, looking back, sheepish. “I guess I don’t know what I’m doing. You all go ahead.” ‎ ‎“Don’t give up, ”said the nice man behind me. “Try it again. We’re all friends here, right?” ‎ Smiles were blooming (绽放) all down the line. I tried again, clicked with deliberation and sincerity, and introduced my credit card as though I were presenting it to the queen. Finally, I made it! ‎ I couldn’t have been happier. Everyone burst into applause. Comfort and joy! ‎ ‎24.What do we know about the post office? ‎ A. It was pretty large. B. Something went wrong there. ‎ C. It was very busy at Christmas. D. Efficient services were provided. ‎ ‎25.While waiting for his turn, the author was _____. ‎ A. a little excited B. totally relaxed C. bored and impatient D. nervous and anxious ‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “sheepish” in Paragraph 8 mean? ‎ A. Grateful. B. Surprised. C. Uneasy and uncomfortable. D. Determined. ‎ ‎27.What did the man behind the author do? ‎ A. He rushed the author. B. He laughed at the author. ‎ C. He mailed for the author. D. He encouraged the author. ‎ C ‎ A UK college has started teaching students the Danish concept of hygge — said to make homes nicer and people happier. But what exactly is it? ‎ Sitting by the fire on a cold night, while petting a dog — probably surrounded by candles. That’ s definitely “hygge”. Eating home-made cakes. Watching TV under a warm quilt. Tea served in a china set. Family get-togethers at Christmas. They’re all hygge too. ‎ The Danish word, pronounced “hoo-ga”, is usually translated into English as “cosiness”. But it’s much more than that — it is an entire attitude to life that makes Denmark one of the world’s happiest ‎ countries. ‎ Morley College, in central London, is teaching students how to achieve hygge as part of its Danish language course. “We have long, cold winters in Denmark,” says lecturer Susanne Nilsson. “That influences things. Hygge doesn’t have to be a winter-only thing, but it isn’t that fine for much of the year.” ‎ With up to 17 hours of darkness per day in winter, and average temperatures staying around 0℃, people spend more time indoors as a result, says Nilsson, meaning there’s greater focus on home entertaining. ‎ The idea is to feel as at-home as possible, forgetting life’s worries. “Hygge works best when there’s not too large an empty space around the person or people,” Nilsson adds. ‎ The recent growth in Scandinavian-themed restaurants, cafes and bars in the UK is helping to export hygge, Nilsson says. Most customers won’t have heard of the term, but they might get a sense of it. ‎ Similarly, in the US, the wallpaper and fabric firm Hygge & West aims to channel the concept through its cheery designs, as does a Los Angeles bakery, called Hygge, which sells traditional Danish cakes and treats. ‎ Hygge is a deep-rooted tradition in Danes’ life. Helen Russell, author of The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World ’ s Happiest Country, says, “Hygge is so important for those who live Danishly that the other day, I saw a camper car parked by the roadside with lit candles in the windows.” ‎ ‎28.Which can be used to explain the concept of hygge? ‎ A. It means success. B. It is a way to relax. ‎ C. It requires a large room. D. It is a candle-involved moment. ‎ ‎29.What makes the Danish have more home life according to the text? ‎ A. The country’s culture. B. The country’s climate. ‎ C. The country’s economy. D. The country’s education.‎ ‎30. What do we learn about hygge in the UK and the US? ‎ A. It is ignored by the two countries’ people. ‎ B. It is quite different from that in Denmark. ‎ C. It is a new trend in the two countries. ‎ D. It is related to several traditions. ‎ ‎31.What is the main purpose of the text? ‎ A. To explain the origins of hygge. B. To discuss a UK college course. ‎ C. To encourage people to live Danishly. D. To introduce a traditional Danish lifestyle. ‎ D It’s not surprising that movie theaters forbid outside food: Theaters must share their income from ticket sales with film distributors and studios, while snacks and sodas have a high profit. ‎ Snacks and sodas weren’t always part of the viewing experience. In the early days of cinema, theater owners discouraged snack intake, feeling it didn’t match the elegant(优雅的) atmosphere they were trying to create.“ They had beautiful carpeting and didn’t want anything like candy that could get stuck to it, ”explains Ross Melnick, cofounder of Cinema Treasures, a nonprofit devoted to saving the remaining movie palaces. ‎ Movie theaters began selling snacks to boost profits during the Depression, says Melnick. After the Second World War, when many moviegoers switched to TV instead, snacks became an even more important source of profit. As Richard McKenzie, an economics professor explains, different movie starting times ensure there’s always a line for popcorn. ‎ Most people suffer the high prices of food at the movies in silence, but after learning that outside food was forbidden and being denied entry to the sci-fi movie Cloverfield because of it, Adam Glennon, a postman in Stockport, England, last year staged a protest (抗议) in the street outside the theater, pressing free candy and pieces of price-comparison paper on passersby. ‎ Randy Cohen, a writer, argues that when a business’s rule is extremely unfair, it’s fine to disobey it, and that the high price of movie popcorn justifies bringing in your own picnic. ‎ I agree. If movie popcorn were healthful and delicious, then the sticker shock wouldn’t be so bad. But the truth is, it’s often not fresh. McKenzie explains: “Movie managers sometimes either pop the corn off-site or buy it ready-popped, but they have the popcorn poppers going for show when people are coming in through door. ”And it’s wrong not to offer healthy options for people who may have diabetes (糖尿病) or weight issues. ‎ So go ahead and bring your own snacks secretly. ‎ ‎32.In the early days of cinemas, moviegoers _____. ‎ A. were forced to buy snacks B. were encouraged to buy snacks ‎ C. were not allowed to eat in cinemas D. were allowed to bring their own food ‎ ‎33. For what purpose did movie theaters begin to sell snacks? ‎ A. To make more money. B. To meet movie goers’ needs. ‎ C. To create a relaxed atmosphere. D. To attract audiences of different ages. ‎ ‎34.What can be inferred from Paragraph 6? ‎ A. Movie popcorn suits everyone. ‎ B. Movie popcorn is usually delicious. []‎ C. It is not economic to buy food in cinemas. ‎ D. Food sold in cinemas is usually fresh but expensive. ‎ ‎35.What is the author’s attitude towards bringing one’s own food into movies? ‎ A. Doubtful. B. supporting. C. Slightly critical. D. Strongly critical. ‎ 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。 ‎ Ways to teach kids money management skills No matter your financial situation, you can help your kids make smart money choices. Here are 3 ways my husband and I have started teaching money smarts to our children: ‎ ‎1.Review the family budget together ‎ ‎36 They also know that our income goes to pay for things like groceries, clothes, and toys. Recently, we’ve introduced some of the more unseen budget categories like retirement, car repairs, and Christmas savings. Seeing what a budget is and how it works gives our kids ownership of the process and an understanding of why we do what we do each month. 37 ‎ ‎2.Let kids handle money ‎ ‎38 Our kids earn money on specific chores (家庭杂务) that are above and beyond the basic requirements of helping our family function. With the money they make for extra work, they practice counting, giving, saving, and, of course, spending! ‎ ‎3.Practice delayed satisfaction ‎ My husband and I practice delayed satisfaction often and talk through our plans with the kids so they see that as a family we are saving rather than borrowing for immediate satisfaction. 39 And together we are all working a little extra to fund a trip to Disneyland. No one likes to wait. 40 But, delaying satisfaction is a valuable skill that our children can learn. It helps them discover many ‎ things are worth the wait. ‎ A. That’s just not human nature! ‎ B. Our kids know that Mom and Dad work to earn money. ‎ C. Don’ t worry if your current financial situation isn’t perfect. ‎ D. Choose wise words when discussing money around your kids. ‎ E. Right now they know that Daddy is saving for a new-to-him truck. ‎ F. There is no better way to learn about money than to actually be responsible for it. ‎ G. When we say, “There isn’t any more eating-out money left,” they understand why.‎ 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 ‎ Developing good team members certainly can't happen overnight. Not having had the experience of being a member of a group in which their ideas and opinions are valued, team members usually aren't prepared to 41 speaking up, at least not at first. They need 42 , support and practice. They need to learn how to function in a participative group — one in which their ideas and information are valued and taken 43 . To make it 44 for team members to develop and reveal their full creative capacities, the successful organization needs to undertake a long-term effort to create a climate in which members feel 45 to think, express their opinions and cooperate. It's easier said than done. Probably the single most important part in that climate is the leader's 46 and ability to listen with 47 to the contributions of team members. The leader's goal is not to influence or direct the group's 48 to go a certain way; it is to listen 49 without evaluation and focus on truly 50 the points of view of team members, 51 they may differ markedly from the leader's own.‎ Not only does this kind of listening 52 group members that their contributions are of enough worth to be heard and understood by the 53 , it also promotes the participation of others. As they become less defensive, more open, more articulate (表达清楚的), something equally 54 happens. When they observe the leader listening patiently, they begin to listen to each other better. When 55 arise, such team members are much more open to others' 56 and less intent on defending their own. Even more effective than pure 57 is explicit training which teaches team members how to 58 their opinions, ideas and feelings whether positive or negative in a non-blameful, accepting way;‎ ‎ how to listen in a non-judgmental, 59 way; and how to solve conflicts with others so both sides get their needs met. The 60 for the organization in both goodwill and higher productivity can be surprising. ‎ ‎41.A. miss B. risk C. stop D. avoid ‎ ‎42.A. encouragement B. donation C. explanation D. comment ‎ ‎43.A. slowly B. briefly C. badly D. seriously ‎ ‎44.A. possible B. hard C. necessary D. funny ‎ ‎45.A. safe B. afraid C. free D. sad ‎46.A. business B. advice C. willingness D. dream ‎ ‎47.A. understanding B. suggestion C. imagining D. description ‎ ‎48.A. lecture B. discussion C. action D. introduction ‎ ‎49.A. anxiously B. openly C. casually D. secretly ‎ ‎50.A. supporting B. recording C. changing D. hearing ‎ ‎51.A. since B. but C. though D. and ‎ ‎52.A. remind B. teach C. warn D. tell []‎ ‎53.A. follower B. listener C. speaker D. leader ‎ ‎54.A. important B. fortunate C. interesting D. simple ‎ ‎55.A. consequences B. conflicts C. difficulties D. questions ‎ ‎56.A. rights B. views C. faults D. choices ‎ ‎57.A. criticizing B. praising C. modeling D. correcting ‎ ‎58.A. repeat B. forget C. hide D. express ‎ ‎59.A. respectful B. powerful C. special D. doubtful ‎ ‎60.A. benefits B. comforts C. challenges D. worries 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容 （1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ More than half of Britain's gardeners did not spot a hedgehog (刺猬), frog, fox, mouse or bat, in their gardens in 2016, as wildlife experts warn 61. ________ the once common animals are continuing to decline. ‎ The annual survey by BBC Gardeners ' World magazine found 62. ________ has been a further ‎ drop in hedgehog sightings as well as a decline in most garden birds, and butterflies. ‎ ‎51 percent of people said they did not see a single hedgehog in 63. ________ (they) garden throughout the year, 64. ________ (compare) to 48 percent in 2015, even though the warmer weather at the beginning of winter meant that the animals hibernated (冬眠) much 65. ________ (late) and so should have been seen for longer. 29 percent of people said they did not see any of the birds on the RSPB's Red List, 66. ________ records those which are in most need of 67. ________ (protect).
