Here she picks her top reads.‎ Matilda ‎ Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.‎ After Dark Haruki Murakami ‎ It’s about two sisters—Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life ‎ and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.‎ Gone Girl ‎ Gillian Fynn There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realize what’s going on is horribly enjoyable The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever. ‎ ‎41.

We may have studied the language for several years, and are able to read it, perhaps even write in it. But listening and understanding the spoken language require special skills. Some people have a natural ability that helps them to learn a language quickly, while others must study for a long time. Everyone, however, can improve his or her listening skills with practice.‎ We are good listeners in our own language because we have had years of practice.‎ ‎ We understand the grammar and the language. We know what to expect a person to say to us in almost any situation. We have been in similar situations many times, and we have heard it all before. We can understand it, even if we do not listen carefully.‎ But this is not true with a foreign language. We must listen with our full attention. And we must try not to let the cultural style of our language affect our understanding of the foreign language. Listening to a foreign language broadcast is easier if we know something about it. There are clues that can help us. One clue is the time of a day. Morning programs usually contain many short items of news, information or entertainment. The items are short because most of us are getting ready to go to work in the morning. Often we do not have time to listen to long programs. Evening programs are different. There is time for more details about the subjects discussed.‎ We can get a clue about the program from the music at the beginning, but we must be familiar with the music of the foreign culture. The kind of music—serious and slow, or fast and light—can tell us what kind of program to expect. The name of the program can give us good information about what it will contain.‎ Another good clue is the broadcaster. The more we listen to the same person, the easier it will be to understand him. His speaking style will become familiar to us. Further, the broadcaster provides clues to the organization of the broadcast at the beginning of the program. The broadcaster usually gives us the highlights of the program to prepare us for the details that will follow.‎ ‎44. We are good listeners in our own language because .‎ A. we have a natural ability to learn language B. we have practiced it for years ‎ C. we listen to our own language more carefully D. our own language is much easier ‎45. If you don’t have enough time, you can listen to .‎ A. morning programs B. familiar programs C. evening programs D. programs with soft music ‎46. You can know the information of the program according to .‎ A. its music B. the broadcaster C. its name D. the time of ‎ the program C When Lauren Marler began having disturbing symptoms at the age of 15, she somehow knew it was cancer. After some research, she realized she was right. But that was just the beginning of her horrific cancer journey. Marler’s doctors discovered that what she had was truly unlucky—but she’s still here to tell her tale.‎ In 2005, Marler noticed blood in her stool; she was too embarrassed to tell anyone. For two years she kept silent. “I looked up my symptoms and knew I had all the signs for colon cancer,” she says. “However, my mom thought I was overreacting.” Eventually, the doctor she visited confirmed she had a colon cancer at the age of 17.‎ ‎“The doctor said that I needed to get to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre immediately,” Marler recalls. There she met with Miguel RodriguezBigas, who removed Marler’s entire colon and almost all of her rectum(直肠).‎ But just nine months later, the cancer returned. “When my mom told me, I just felt like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me. I just want to be a normal kid.’” After another surgery and three months of chemotherapy (化疗), Marler believed that her cancer battles had to be over.‎ Then, during a routine scan to ensure that she was still in remission (重病的缓解期) five years later, 23yearold Marler got a call. “The doctor called to tell me that the scan showed a spot in my uterus (子宫) and it was endometrial cancer, an aggressive one. We went back to MD Anderson to meet with Pedro T. Ramirez, who recommended a full hysterectomy (子宫切除).”‎ Puzzled by Marler’s history, Dr. RodriguezBigas recommended that she get genetic testing. The testing revealed the bad news: Marler had an incredibly rare disorder called CMMRD. Dr. Rodriguez Bigas explained that the disorder makes a person likely to suffer from different cancers. There is no treatment for the disorder, only preventive care—primarily regular scans to catch any developing cancers early. Armed with an answer for the grief and suffering she had endured for the past decade of her life, Marler actually felt a sense of relief. “It’s heartbreaking, but at least I have an ‎ answer.”‎ Three years later, Marler was unable to shake what she thought was sinus infection (鼻窦感染). Marler’s mother knew something wasn’t right when Marler refused to go back to the hospital because of the level of pain she felt.‎ On this trip to the hospital, Marler was admitted and scanned. “I couldn’t believe it was happening again. The medical test showed that it was lymphoma (淋巴瘤), one of the hardest types to treat. The doctors told me the treatment was going to be so painful that I would hate them by the time it was over. They were right.” Marler endured six different types of chemotherapy at the same time, one of which was delivered through her spinal cord. She was required to be admitted to the hospital every other week for six days. “I was so weak that I couldn’t get off my couch. I lost all of my hair, and I had severe body aches,” she recalls.‎ Today, at 28, Marler is once again in remission—something she definitely doesn’t take for granted. She credits her family for her ability to endure her repeated battles with a smile. She says, “I laugh a lot. That’s one thing my family does really well—we can find the humor in any situation. I’ve always found a way to laugh. I do worry about what’s next, but I can’t let it consume me. I’ve learned to live with it.”‎ ‎47. What does the underlined word “aggressive” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. Making oneself ready to attack. B. Requiring chemotherapy to cure it. ‎ C. Being likely to spread quickly. D. Acting with determination to succeed.‎ ‎48. What exactly has caused Marler to suffer from various cancers?‎ A. A rare gene problem. B. Irregular medical scans. ‎ C. No proper preventive care. D. Frequently changing doctors.‎ ‎49. After receiving the treatment of lymphoma, Marler ________.‎ A. became a regular visitor to the hospital B. came to hate the doctors in charge of her ‎ C. was heartbreaking but felt a sense of relief D. was sure that her cancer battles would be over ‎ ‎50. What mainly contributes to Marler’s success in fighting with cancer?‎ A. The fact that she never thinks much of cancer.‎ B. The fact that her whole family remains positive.‎ C. The fact that she has learned to live with cancer.‎ D. The fact that her life experience is full of humour.‎ 第三节 七选五（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。‎ Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?‎ We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 51 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.‎ ‎ 52 If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain.‎ Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing. 53 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood. Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 54 It gives us a great feeling of peace.‎ ‎ 55 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D — but still protect your skin — put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.‎ A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.‎ B. Being in nature refreshes us. ‎ C. So what are you waiting for?‎ D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.‎ E. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care. ‎ F. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?‎ G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.‎ 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，55分）‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分20分）‎ 第一节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，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(可多词）。‎ In 1863 the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London.

When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.‎ ‎ The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, l don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.” Then she gave the cashier food stamps (食品券).‎ ‎ Neither did I know how I could get through the days a year ago during my fresh year in the company. I didn’t know the rules, I was not familiar with the work, and I couldn’t feel the value of myself. I was even wondering whether I could get along, as my father was gone, my mother had no work and my brother was only 7. That feeling was exactly what the woman had said. Fortunately, things had changed since I received my colleague’s card, from which I felt the encouragement, and sensed happiness falling upon me again.‎ ‎ So I really wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, or ask for her husband’s resume (简历)? As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. Suddenly I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn’t a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.    ‎ ‎ Then I approached the woman. My heart pounded as this was the first time that I had come with the idea to help a stranger.‎ ‎ “Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit. “I couldn’t help accidentally hearing what you said to the cashier.
