I was looking around for another profession.‎ When my friend Daniel Star took a leave of absence from his teaching job, he started speaking to groups. Although Daniel’s first year as a speaker was a little lean(收益差的) financially, he was getting paid more as a speaker than as a teacher since the second year. When his leave of absence was over, his old employer called him in for a new position. Daniel agreed to an interview but then later called to cancel it.‎ I thought he was nuts. I said,“ Daniel, you know speaking is not a secure profession. It's good to have something to fall back on!” And he said something that changed my life. He said, “Cathleen, when you have something to fall back on, you fall back!” It rang so true! I saw immediately and with a shock that the teaching ‎ job that I thought provided a financial cushion in fact was holding me back from pursuing(追求) my dreams and interests. ‎ A few months later， I quitted my job, packed up my car, kissed my grown kids and friends goodbye and moved to a different part of the country to try my luck as a speaker. It was a little unnerving(令人紧张的) to give up my teaching job but I’d been wanting to do it for a long time and finally it was sink or swim time! ‎ Well, at first I knew nothing about business and had so much to learn about the speaking profession. I did everything the hard way and learned a lot gradually. Finally I succeeded in doing what I love. Because I was happier, my health immediately improved along with my outlook on life.‎ ‎24.Why did the author want to change her job?‎ A. She needed a steady job.‎ B.

All things are difficult before they are easy.‎ ‎ D. You can't make egg rolls without breaking eggs.‎ ‎27. What is the author’s attitude towards her new job?‎ ‎ A. Casual. B. Satisfied. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.‎ C Solly is our security guard. He moved in the day after we did. He was light brown, and was very thin and serious. Solly hadn't always been so thin. He'd been out of work for a year, supporting an extended family.‎ ‎“My wife says I must buy new clothes,” he said. “My church clothes are falling off me. But I told her, ‘Don't worry. I'll get fat again. Now I have a job. ’”This news kept our family buzzing(低声谈话) through quite a few mealtimes. My kids announced they were going to bake for him every day. And so every evening my husband and children began delivering food to Solly.‎ Just outside our gate, all down Jabu Ndlovu Street, as the day begins to fade, security guards take their places. They are cheerful. And they sleep right through their shifts. No one expects a security guard to stay awake. That's why the whole street knew Solly. He not only stayed awake, but also walk around to check the block，picked up litter, and knocked on doors and asked residents to turn their music down.‎ Then one night, a car ran into a cyclist. Solly saw the crash. He saw the driver drive away. For two hours, Solly helped the rider, the police, and the ambulance personnel. The next day, some residents complained: Solly wasn't at the gate last night. Solly wasn't doing tis job. After the whole story came out, Solly kept his job.‎ After a month, Solly wasn't getting any fatter. He lived far from the city. His taxi ride to work each day cost him one-third of his salary, so we got him a used bike. But he wouldn't take it until he saved the money. ‎ A few weeks later he fetched the bike. “My wife thinks I’m joking -- a bike for this price,” he said with a smile on his face. “I'll ride home and surprise her.” I wondered if his wife would smile too.‎ ‎28.

Which word can best describe the authors’ family？ ‎ ‎ A. Intelligent. B. Courageous. C. Kind-hearted. D. Strong-minded.‎ D ‎ With so much focus on children’s use of screens, it's easy for parents to forget about their own screen use. “Tech is designed to really suck you in,” says Jenny Radesky in her study of digital play, “and digital products are there to promote maximum involvement. It makes it hard to disconnect, and leads to a lot of bleed-over into the family routine.”‎ Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mother-child pairs a food-testing exercise. She found that mothers who used devices(设备) during the exercise started 20 percent fewer verbal and 39 percent fewer nonverbal communications with their children. During a separate observation, she saw that phones became a source of tension. Parents would be looking at their emails while the children would be making excited bids for their attention.‎ Babies are excited to look at parents’ faces. If those faces are blank and unresponsive -- as they often are when absorbed in a device -- it makes the children feel anxious or confused. Radesky cites(引用) the “still face experiment”, which was conducted by psychologist Ed Tronick. In it ,a mother is asked to communicate with her child in a normal way before putting on a blank expression and not giving her any visual social feedback(反馈). The child becomes increasingly upset as she tries to draw her mother's attention.‎ On the other hand, Tronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids’ use of screens are born out of a theory that parents should always be communicating with their children:“ If you're failing to expose your child to 30,000 words you are neglecting(忽视) them.” Tronick believes that just because a child isn't ‎ learning from the screen doesn't mean there is no value to it -- particularly if it gives parents time to have a shower, do housework or simply have a break from their child. This makes them feel happier, which lets them be more available to their child the rest of the time.‎ ‎32.What does Radesky think of digital products?‎ ‎ A. They make our lives easier.‎ B. They absorb users’ attention. ‎ ‎ C. They simplify routine matters.‎ ‎ D. They improve interpersonal relations.‎ ‎33.What does the food-testing exercises show about parents’ screen use?‎ ‎ A. It narrows children's focus.‎ B. It takes away babies’ appetites. ‎ ‎ C. It reduces mother-child communication.‎ D. It slows down babies’ verbal development.‎ ‎34.What might Radesky want to show by mentioning the “still face experiment”？‎ ‎ A. Verbal expressions are unnecessary for emotional exchange. ‎ ‎ B. Most misunderstandings are caused by nonverbal expressions. ‎ ‎ C. Children can easily understand their parents’ expressions. ‎ ‎ D. Parents need to respond to children's emotional needs.‎ ‎35.What might Tronick agree with about the kids’ use of screens？ ‎ ‎ A. It helps them with their homework.‎ B. It gives their parents some free time. ‎ ‎ C. It makes their parents more creative.‎ D. It helps them become more attentive.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多于选项。‎ The writer's block ‎ Whatever it is you have to write, the idea of a blank page – or screen - can be very discouraging. Here are a few easy tips to help you overcome your writer's block.‎ ‎1.Think before you write.‎ Before you actually start, think about what you want to say, why you want to say it and who you're going to say it to. The most important question to ask is： What response do I want to get？ __36__ It may be a memo(备忘录) at work. In that case, your main aim is that your reader will be able to get the most important information quickly. ‎ ‎2.Keep it short and to the point.‎ Use short, simple sentences, written for maximum of effect. Make sure that everything you say is relevant to your main aim or message. If you can't, it's probably because you're not really sure of exactly what you want to say. ___37___‎ ‎3.Avoid repetition.‎ You may feel that a point needs stressing, and that you therefore want to repeat ‎ it just to make sure it sinks in. Don't. It's much better to make sure you expressed yourself clearly and simply the first time around. _ 38 ‎ ‎4.Choose your style carefully.‎ This takes us back to the first point. _ _39 If you know them personally, then you will also know how best to write to them. Make sure your style reflects both your relationship with your reader and your attitude to what you're writing. If you are writing to an anonymous(不知姓名的) audience, keep your style neutral（中立的）. Remember that first impressions are vital. 40 And of course, the wrong choice can do quite the opposite！ ‎ A. Remember your reader！‎ B. Try reading your text aloud to yourself.‎ C. It will make your text much easier to process.‎ D. And if you don't know, your readers definitely won’t!‎ E. The answer to that obviously depends on what you're writing.‎ F. The right choice of words and tone can help you get off to a great start.‎ G. If something really needs to be said again, at least find a different way to do so.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Imagine that you're a whale, about 25 feet long and weighing thousands of pounds.
