But I have my father’s insistent voice in my head: the story is now, so you write it now. No one wants to read last week’s news.‎ My father Michael was a journalist. He started at age 16 on his local paper, the Luton News, and after nine years there, he went on to a six-decade career that saw him write more than 40 biographies of Hollywood stars and spend a quarter-century presenting a weekly radio show.‎ From him I learned about deadlines and accuracy, and absorbed his rule about professional clothing, one he had been taught by his first boss. Even when he was working at home, my father would follow that rule: shirt and tie, every day.‎ There were other less obvious lessons. The first is about being manly. Driven and competitive, he wasn’t present for the birth of any of his three children, but he was the very model of being loving and faithful. In a pub, he might manage some drinks, but his main focus would usually be the food menu. He was a model of a ‎ different kind of maleness.‎ But perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from him was about resilience (恢复). He got deep blows, losing both his wife and firstborn child, my sister Fiona, within two years of each other. And yet, somehow, he got back up again. He taught himself to cook and continued to dress neatly, picking out a bright jacket that ensured he stood out in a room. He would meet editors and write stories with the same hunger he had 65 years earlier. Younger colleagues keep using the same word about him: appealing.‎ I hope I learned his resilience, the way I learned about being a journalist. People keep telling me that my father was proud of me; and the truth is I was proud of him. Raised in a hard-up corner of wartime England, he went off to see the world—and he never stopped looking forward and upward, staring at the stars.‎ ‎24．What has made the author write down the text so soon?‎ A．His father’s words motivated him to do so.‎ B．He wanted to settle down after the writing.‎ C．He wanted to write it before he forgot it.‎ D．It was the story he insisted on writing.‎ ‎25．What was the author’s impression of his father?‎ A．He always managed to dress up following the fashion.‎ B．He sometimes had a hard time meeting the work deadline.‎ C．He trained the author to be manly and do the basic things.‎ D．He was competitive at work and remained a loving Dad.‎ ‎26．What was the best lesson the author learned from his father?‎ A．The necessity of keeping good shape.‎ B．Quick recovery from suffering or blow.‎ C．The ability to get a content career.‎ D．The pride one takes in his/her parents.‎ ‎27．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．Dad Left a Deep Impression on Me for His Work B．Dad Proved Faithful and Loving for the Family C．My Dad Showed How to Be a Journalist and a Man D．I Learned to Recover Quickly after a Suffering C After finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.‎ The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.‎ There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.‎ Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day —— an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American.”‎ So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.‎ ‎28．What do we know about fortune cookies?‎ A．They are as popular in China as in America.‎ B．They contain slips of paper with good wishes.‎ C．They first appeared in America during WWII.‎ D．They are often charged to the customers’ bill.‎ ‎29．Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?‎ A．To make profit.‎ B．To express gratitude.‎ C．To uplift people’s spirits.‎ D．To help people out of hardship.‎ ‎30．Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’ s cookies?‎ A．The fortune you seek is in another cookie.‎ B．Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.‎ C．I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.‎ D．Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others.‎ ‎31．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．A Symbol of Chinese Culture B．Chinese Restaurants in America C．Can fortune cookie tell your fortune?‎ D．Fortune cookie, Chinese or American?‎ D For high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practise how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.‎ Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.‎ In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.‎ But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills.‎ Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.‎ However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to-l9-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.‎ ‎“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,” said Michael, a researcher in the US.‎ ‎32．In the author’s opinion, American high school leavers _______.‎ A. have enough career-related courses B. need more career advice from their schools C. perform better in exams than German students D. can get higher earnings in later years ‎33．According to Robert Schwartz, ________.‎ A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US B. students should get contact with the working world at high school C. education reform should focus on students’ performance in exams D. teenagers in the US can’t miss out on the summer job experience ‎34．What can be inferred from the text?‎ A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.‎ B. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.‎ C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.‎ D. High school leavers with no practical skills can’t find a job absolutely.‎ ‎35. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probably means _______.‎ A. discouraging B. interesting C. creative D. unbearable 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。 ‎ ‎ Lemon water is pretty popular. It’s offered as a free upgrade to regular water at pretty many restaurants. 36 , others are devotees of the possible health benefits. Here’s what may happen if you take up the lemon water habit.‎ Easier weight loss Studies in mice indicate that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in lemons can reduce weight gain despite a high-fat diet. More studies are needed to determine if the results can be applied to humans, but anecdotal evidence is favorable. People who drink lemon water regularly report easier weight loss, though it is unclear if the combination of lemon and water is the fundamental driver. 37 .‎ Get enough vitamin C Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that has a ton of health benefits. It can only be gotten from food as our bodies don’t produce it alone. Getting your RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of vitamin C can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Vitamin C is good for your skin and bonds with free radicals (自由电子) that accelerate aging. 38 , but they’re a great source nevertheless.‎ Stabilized moods Studies have found that smelling lemon scent reduces stress hormones that regulate mood. Drinking lemon water offers this benefit as well as the vitamins and potassium(钾) in the fruit. 39 , and high blood pressure is related to stress, so not getting enough potassium can certainly affect your mood. All in all, lemon water can be a calming drink.‎ In the end, drinking water is never a bad call, and there is absolutely no reason not to add lemon to it. Drinking lemon water provides some helpful nutrients and antioxidants. Give it a try! 40 .‎ A．Lemon is a common smell in all manner of cleaning products B．Potassium plays a huge part in regulating blood pressure C．There is nothing to lose D．Lemons aren’t the highest in vitamin C E. While some people drink it simply because of its taste F. If adding lemon to water can encourage people to drink more G. It could be that drinking more water helps dieters to feel full and avoid overeating 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Learning to dive is something I’ve always found excuses to not learn how to do.
