During most of the day, you’ll likely be wearing your swimsuit. When you’re finished at the beach or pool area, it is advisable to bring along a shirt or cover as well as shorts to wear.‎ It is not recommended to wear beach clothes when you go out for dinner – regardless of the time of day. Shorts and T-shirts are enough in many restaurants, although more formal clothes are advised for the fanciest eating establishments.‎ What else to bring?‎ The Caribbean sun is very strong and if you’re planning on spending lots of time in the sun, there are several precautions you must take. Include suncream, sunglasses, a wide hat, a couple of bathing suits, as well as a beach bag and a cooler in your luggage.‎ What NOT to bring?‎ While drinking water is questionable or not safe in many Caribbean nations, Aruba is an exception. Aruba is known for having the cleanest water in the world. There is no need to bring water, simply bring along an empty bottle.‎ Several items are prohibited in Aruba for carrying. These include firearms, e-cigarettes, as well as sharp objects and tools.‎ ‎21. Tourists choose Aruba for a destination mainly because__________.‎ ‎ A. they can wear casual clothes freely ‎ B. they can enjoy the beautiful scenery ‎ C. they can relax on the beach and in waters ‎ D. they can have a wonderful dinner party there ‎22. Which of the following is not advised to do in Aruba?‎ ‎ A. Wearing a T-shirt in a restaurant.‎ ‎ B. Preparing suncream in advance.‎ ‎ C. Wearing beach clothes for dinner.‎ ‎ D. Taking along sun glasses before going out.‎ ‎23. The purpose of the text is to__________.‎ ‎ A. provide information for tourists ‎ B. offer advice on travelling in Aruba ‎ C. attract more tourists to travel in Aruba ‎ D. warn tourists against doing wrong things B I never planned to be a teacher. I was headed for a law school, for a real career. Teaching was something to “get out of my system”. I would teach a couple of years and then go to get a real job. After the first couple of years, I promised myself I would leave if I didn’t love my job any more. Twenty-nine years later, that day still has not come.‎ So, why do I stay? I stay because I laugh and learn every day. The children are funny, insightful, and honest. If my shoes don’t match my outfit, they tell me. If my argument that Invisible Man is an important twentieth century classics doesn’t convince them, they tell me.‎ I stay because every single day is different. Some days, my lessons are great, and I have classes of students who are engaged in reading, writing and thinking. Some days, my lessons fall flat, and I realize that I need to start from scratch — even after 29 years.‎ I stay because I love to see the children realize that they have learned something — whether it’s how to craft an argumentative thesis sentence or how to understand the effect of repetition in The Declaration of Independence. I love to see the children write well; I love the feeling of reading a well-argued essay, and I love smiling as I write a final “Awesome job!” on a paper on which a student has worked hard.‎ I stay because what I’ve learned in 29 years is that I do have a “real” job — the most real job there is. It’s the one that leads to other jobs, that helps to create good thinkers who go on to be productive in our society, and that supports our community as it grows and times change. My job is among the ones that matter most.‎ ‎24.The author became a teacher because he ____________.‎ ‎ A. needed money to go to a law school B. loved dealing with children ‎ C. loved teaching very much D. failed to get a “real” job ‎25. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the author _________.‎ ‎ A. often pays no attention to his outfit B. is good at convincing his ‎ students ‎ C. enjoys his time with his students D. doesn’t read many classics ‎26. According to Paragraph 4, the author continues to teach most probably because ________.‎ ‎ A. teaching makes him feel he can make a difference to children ‎ B. teaching makes him realize every day is different ‎ C. he can learn a lot of things from teaching ‎ D. he likes to be praised by his students ‎27. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. What the author has learned as a teacher.‎ ‎ B. What the author thinks of being a teacher.‎ ‎ C. Why the author didn’t choose to become a lawyer.‎ ‎ D. Why the author chooses to stay as a teacher.‎ C A young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.‎ The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” — a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression — “botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.‎ One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse,‎ ‎ travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”‎ The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million “hikikomori” — a more extreme example of social recluses (隐士) who withdraw completely from society.‎ ‎28. What is special about the “silent cafes”?‎ ‎ A. It provides various tea and books.‎ ‎ B. People are not allowed to communicate.‎ ‎ C. It has attracted many popular young people.‎ ‎ D. It offers service by writing not by speaking.‎ ‎29. Which of the following accounts for the idea of being alone in Japan?‎ ‎ A. The increasing social isolation.‎ ‎ B. The stable economic situation.‎ ‎ C. The rising demand for privacy.‎ ‎ D. The rapid development of internet.‎ ‎30. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?‎ ‎ A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse.‎ ‎ B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.‎ ‎ C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.‎ ‎ D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.‎ ‎31. What is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Silent cafes B. Lonely Japanese ‎ C. One woman wedding D. Social recluses in Japan ‎ D ‎ A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading ‎ quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃．Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate．Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially（潜在的） causing certain natural disasters all over the world．‎ ‎ In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源)：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals．This action affects the environment as a whole．For example，a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests．People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.‎ ‎ There are two main reasons for this．Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two．Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply．‎ ‎ Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store．More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests．However，fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value．It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking（收缩的） rainforests．‎ ‎32．Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they ．‎ ‎ A．reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth B．bring about high rainfall throughout the world ‎ C．rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃‎ ‎ D．reflect more heat into the atmosphere ‎33．What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?‎ ‎ A．We will lose much more than we can gain．‎ ‎ B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests．‎ ‎ C．People have a strong desire for resources．‎ ‎ D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests．‎ ‎34．It can be inferred from the text that . ‎ ‎ A．we can get enough resources without rainforests ‎ B．the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns ‎ C．we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land D．there is great medicine potential in rainforests ‎35．What might be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A．How to Save Rainforests ‎ B．How to Protect Nature ‎ C．Rainforests and the Environment ‎ D．Rainforests and Medical Development 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项。 ‎ ‎ Happy people do things differently to increase their levels of happiness. There are things that we can start doing today to feel the effects of more happiness in our lives.‎ ‎ 36________‎ ‎ Selflessly helping someone is a super powerful way to feel good inside, What's even greater about this kindness act is that not only will you feel better, but so will people watching the act of kindness.‎ Express gratitude ‎ Basically, being grateful for the goodness in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that's without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. 37_____ ‎ Learn to forgive Harboring feelings of hatred is horrible for your well-being. When you hate someone, and you're continuously thinking about it, those negative emotions are eating away at your immune system(免疫系统). You put yourself in a bad state and it stays with you throughout your day. 38___‎ Cultivate optimism ‎ Winners have the ability to create their own optimism. No matter what the situation is, a successful person will always find an optimistic way to deal with it. 39 People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times.‎ Develop social relationships ‎ The happiest people on the planet are the ones who have deep, meaningful relationships. 40 ‎ We feel connected and a part of something more meaningful than our lonely existence A. Take care of your body.‎ B. Practice acts of kindness.‎ C. So, it's wise to forgive others and forgive yourself.‎ D. Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous.‎ E. We won’t feel happy if we aren’t thankful for what we already.‎ F. There’s a warm feeling that comes from having an active circle of good friends.‎ G. He knows failure only as an opportunity to grow and learn a new lesson from life.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节）‎ 第二部分 完形填空（共20题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下列短文，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。 ‎ ‎ I was about to get on a plane after a trip. Honestly speaking, the trip was very 41 and exhausting. To make things worse, I had a middle seat in Zone 5, where they limited the baggage 42 there wasn’t much room in the overhead bins(行李架).‎ I had to ask the flight attendant if I could 43 my seat. Trying to be 44 , she asked if I was willing to sit in an exit row. “Yes, sure!” I 45 responded, full of hope. But a moment later, she told me that row might not be 46 .

I was very 57 for that and I felt relived that I had 58 my anger. I do know even if I shouted at the attendant, she would 59 try hard to help me, because she seemed very responsible.
