When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid ‎ an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (垫)onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table.‎ ‎ I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.‎ ‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.‎ ‎24. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?‎ A, Start the car the moment everyone is seated.‎ B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.‎ C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.‎ D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.‎ ‎25. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .‎ A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached ‎26. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .‎ A. avoided B. lacked C. abandoned D. took ‎27. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words C.The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind C ‎ China is showing the world its great resolve in the global climate campaign with concrete and self-motivated efforts as well as serious commitment.‎ ‎ At the opening ceremony of the Paris climate summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping restated China's plan made in June to cut its carbon emissions(排放）per unit of GDP by 60-65 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, and increase non-fossil fuel sources in primary energy consumption to about 20 percent.‎ ‎ With a large population, China is facing increasing resource limits, severe environmental pollution and a worsening ecosystem, and its citizens are also becoming increasingly aware of environmental problems. Suffering environmental problems and seeing the efforts as important to transforming its economic growth pattern, the country has much at risk if climate change is left unattended.‎ ‎ Actually, climate change efforts are already included in China's medium- and long-term program of economic and social development, and ecological efforts are the clear characteristics in China's 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020).‎ ‎ Although it is and will be a developing country for a long time to come, China has been actively involved in the global campaign against climate change, now topping the world in terms of energy conservation and use of new and renewable energies.‎ ‎ However, China's development rights need to be respected. It is unfair to overstress China's status as one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters and regard it as the major part of responsibilities in the global fight against climate change.‎ ‎ It is worthy of notice that China's emissions of greenhouse gases per person are far lower than those of developed countries, especially the United States, although rapid economic expansion and its population base have made it one of the biggest producers of the gases.‎ ‎ To show its great resolve, Beijing in September also announced the establishment of an independent South-South cooperation fund of 20 billion RMB to help developing ‎ countries affected by global warming.‎ ‎ While China is eagerly accomplishing its policy commitments, developed countries should stop questioning China's commitment to fighting climate change and pointing fingers, and start shouldering their due responsibilities instead.‎ ‎28.China is self-motivated to fight against climate change in order to .‎ A.top the world ‎ B. transform its economic pattern C.solve its population problem ‎ D. respond to pressure from developed countries ‎29. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 7 refers to .‎ A.China B.the United States C.economic expansion D.the population base ‎30.It can be inferred from the text that A. China will completely use non-fossil fuels by 2030‎ B. China will carry out its plan by stopping its development C. Chinese emit more greenhouse gases than Americans on average D.some developed countries are not taking on their due responsibilities ‎31.Which of the following is a sign of China’s self-motivated fight against climate change?‎ A. Making it part of China’s 13th Five-Year Plan.‎ B. Donating money to developing countries.‎ C. Using non-renewable energies.‎ D. Expanding its economy D When Taking an Uber—Should You Tip or Not?‎ ‎ Taking an Uber car may no longer be a direct driver-passenger and guilt-free experience. The ride-sharing experience is about to get awkward.‎ ‎ With the wide application of the Internet,Uber,a new approach to your destination instead of taking an ordinary taxi, has become more popular recently. However, benefits won’t come without its fair share of drawbacks.‎ ‎ Uber drivers are a part of the so-called sharing economy: They use their own ‎ vehicles, receive customer reviews via the app’s five-star rating system and make their own hours. Unlike other services, Uber claimed that drivers all over the country could clearly alert customers that tipping is not included. Those drivers that expect to be tipped can make their wishes known.But the company is holding to its official no-tip-required line, according to its website.“Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file—There’s no need to tip.’’Although drivers value their independence-the freedom to push a button rather than punch a clock, lack of a clear policy,however,leaves Uber drivers in a vulnerable(脆弱的）position:If they ask a customer for a tip or put up a sign,that customer could give the driver a low star-rating, and the driver could finally be deactivated from the app.‎ ‎ But has the company done a good job working with customers? Some observers say that this new grey area for tipping will create awkwardness about whether they should tip or not— something most Uber customers have not had to deal with until now. Uber did not respond to customers’ comment Just leaving their rating in the air (ignoring it).‎ ‎ Providing an option to tip on an app sends a clear message to customers to reach into their pockets. Nearly 30% people would be more likely to leave a tip if they were presented with a “no tip” button, according to Guinn’s 2015 survey of roughly 500 people. When people are presented with three tip choices—20%, 25% or 30%—they’re more likely to choose the middle option even if it’s more than the traditional 20%, according to a separate 2014 analysis of 13 million New York City taxi rides.‎ ‎ If the service is twice as expensive during a rain storm or public transport delay, the customer has the right not to tip. However, if the driver is extra helpful or avoids traffic to reach your destination in a more timely manner, you could give an extra tip, says Uber, who will leave tipping options in the hands of the consumer rather than the app.‎ ‎32. Compared with taxi drivers, Uber drivers .‎ A. enjoy more freedom and choices B. support the company’s practice C.clock up the miles while driving D. receive customers reviews directly ‎33. The underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 3 probably means .‎ A. removed B. degraded C. tracked D. charged ‎34. From the survey we can conclude most customers .‎ A. would probably tip if there is an option B. usually do as the “no tip” sign suggests C. tip because of Uber drivers’ good service D. are disappointed to reach into their pockets ‎35. What causes the awkwardness between Uber drivers and their customers?‎ A. Customers take advantage of the new grey area for tipping.‎ B. There is no specific policy from the Uber to follow.‎ C. It’s up to customers to decide the drivers’ earnings.‎ D. Customers tend to pay least among the 3 choices.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Chinese Characters Helps Improve IQ ‎ A STUDY conducted in Singapore shows that Chinese characters may be the reason why local children aged between six and 12 display a higher IQ than their peers in Britain, Germany and Australia.‎ ‎ The pictographic (象形文字的)nature of the Chinese writing system helps to inspire the thinking ability of children. Their intelligence develops better while they leam the characters.36 I am a retired Chinese-language teacher from Malaysia. From my experiences, I have long noticed that Chinese-medium-educated students always excel in mathematics when compared with those taught in other languages.37 The words for numerals are all monosyllabic (单音节的)in Chinese.In contrast, their equivalents (对应词) in Malay have two or three syllables, like sa-tu, du-a, ti-ga, em-pat, li-ma, e-nant.‎ ‎38. Their English equivalents one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,‎ ‎ nine,ten, hundred, thousand, million include multi-syllabic words, too.39. Children easily find that it is in the Chinese language that they can do the job fastest.Children taught in Chinese find it easier to leam numerals and can do their calculations much faster.This has been repeatedly proved by reports on Chinese-medium-educated students winning prizes in International Mathematics Olympiads.‎ ‎ Mathematics has a lot to do with IQ tests, as it is well proven that children good at numbers tend to have a stronger reasoning ability . 40. Teach the children Chinese so that they can think in the language. Keep their cutting edge in mathematics with the aid of Chinese characters, and this will improve their IQ.‎ A. The secret lies in the Chinese characters.‎ B. They are much quicker at learning English .‎ C. This was disclosed by Dr Zeng Zeng, assistant professor of psychology at NUS.‎ D. The difference between them is most striking when it comes to memorising the multiplication table.(乘法表）‎ E. So, I would like to call on Chinese parents to treasure the language of our ancestors.‎ F. It takes a longer time to pronounce these words.‎ G.Therefore, I’m going to teach mathematics if possible.‎ 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。‎ ‎ One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 41 when you are not busy finding fault with it.‎ ‎ Several years ago I 42 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 43 ‎ ‎ by things . People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 44 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 45 person.‎ ‎ Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 46 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 47 to deal with was that the day before the ‎48 ，Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 49 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 50 .It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 51 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 52 everything so harshly (刻薄).She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her53 as well.‎ ‎ Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding , 54 when we're honest, we can be sharply 55 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 56 problems, or that you pretend things are 57 than they are, but simply that you leam to allow things to be as they are—‎ ‎58 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 59 .‎ ‎ Train yourself to "bite your tongue", and with a little 60 , you'll get really good at letting things go.
