Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.‎ ‎ The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived，which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting，one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.‎ ‎ Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings（出租房）and move into college for their final year.‎ ‎ Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town；it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops，pubs，and supermarkets，but most of it is university-colleges，departments，libraries，clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops，cafes，banks and churches，making these as well part of the university.‎ ‎ With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break，better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions，carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.‎ ‎21. The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________‎ ‎ A. bad weather B. unexpected stops of the bus ‎ C. one passenger D. an accident on the way ‎22.Why is Cambridge called a university town？‎ ‎ A. It has 10，000 undergraduates and postgraduates.‎ ‎ B. There are over thirty colleges in the town.‎ ‎ C. All the students and staff live in the town.‎ ‎ D. The university and town are fully combined.‎ ‎23. It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take _______as their first means of transport.‎ ‎ A. boats B. cars C. bicycles D. buses ‎     B When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.‎ My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.‎ Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.‎ Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.‎ I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.‎ Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (围栏), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.‎ My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more ‎ faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.‎ ‎24. Who tells this story?‎ ‎ A. A dog. B. A child. C. A dog's owner. D.A dog trainer ‎25. Why did the dog's owner take his dog to the pound?‎ ‎ A. He had a newborn baby. B. His wife did not like the dog.‎ ‎ C. He was moving into a new building. D. He thought the dog too troublesome.‎ ‎26. Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?‎ ‎ A. It hoped to be adopted by another family. B. It continued to love its former owner.‎ ‎ C. It did not trust humans any more. D. It was excited about the pound.‎ ‎27. What is the theme of the story?‎ ‎ A. Be ready for changes. B. Never expect too much.‎ ‎ C. Never complain about your life. D. Be faithful to those who love you.‎ C When I was young I wanted to be a model，so when a national contest was staged，I convinced my parents to take me for an audition(试演). I was selected and told I had potential．They said that for only$900 I could attend a weekend event which dozens of the most prestigious(有声望的)modeling agencies from around the world would attend．At l3，my hopes of fame and fortune clouded all judgment and I begged my parents to let me go．We have never been rich, but they saw my enthusiasm and agreed．‎ I imagined being signed by some famous model companies．For months，any boredom or disappointment I faced was pushed aside because I knew I would soon have the chance to be a real model．I thought I would grace the covers of famous magazines!‎ Of course，I wasn’t signed，but what hurt the most was being told that if I grew to 5'9”(about 1．75metres)I could be a success．I prayed for a growth spurt(冲刺)because I could not imagine giving up my dream．I made an appointment with a local modeling agency and the agent demanded$500 for classes．$500 for a photo shoot and $300 for other expenses．My parents only agreed after hours and hours of me begging．‎ The agency sent me out on a few auditions，but with every day I didn’t receive a call，I grew more depressed．‎ The final straw came in July after I had decided to focus on commercial modeling．There was an open call in New York City．We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only to be told that I was too short．I was devastated(感到难以承受的)．‎ Years later，I realized that the trip to New York was good as it made me notice I didn’t actually love modeling，just the idea of it．I wanted to be special and I was innocently determined to reach an impossible goal．The experience has made me stronger and that will help me in the future．‎ ‎28．What’s the main reason why the author wanted to be a model?‎ A．She won a national contest．‎ B．She wanted to get reputation and wealth．‎ C．She was urged by some modeling agencies．‎ D．She had full potential to be a successful model．‎ ‎29．What was it that made the author end her attempt to become a model?‎ A．Her parents were strongly against it．‎ B．She realized that it was impossible for her．‎ C．Even a local modeling agency turned her down．‎ D．She didn’t actually love the idea of modeling．‎ ‎30．The underlined phrase “The final straw” probably means __________ .‎ A．the refusal in spite of her long hours of waiting and working B．the final result that she was admired by the model company C．the final audition given by the famous agency D．the decision she made at last not to be a model ‎31．What did the author learn from her experience of struggling to be a model?‎ A．Where there’s a will，there’s a way．‎ B．Being a model is not that easy． ‎ C．We should have our own judgment and should not just follow others．‎ D．we might set unpractical goals but the experiences rearlly help us grow．‎ D Violent winds swept the ocean, and waves thundered to shore, shaking the lookout tower at Pea Island Rescue Station. Surfman Theodore Meekins was on watch that evening of 11 October 1896. A hurricane had struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the tide was so strong that beach patrols(巡逻)had been canceled. Still, Meekins paid close attention to the horizon. This was the type of weather that could blow ships hundreds of miles off course.‎ Offshore, the ship E.S. Newman was caught in the storm. The captain, whose wife and child were on the ship, feared the Newman would soon break up. He made the decision to beach his ship, then fired a signal, praying that someone onshore would see it.‎ Meekins, whose eyes were trained to cut through rain and surf mists, thought he saw the signal, but so much spray (水雾) covered the lookout windows that he could hardly make sure. Still, he took no chances. After summoning (召集) the station keeper, Captain Richard Etheridge, Meekins set off a coston signal, a signal made by using lamps of different colors. Together, the two men searched the darkness for a reply. A few moments later, they saw a flash of light to the south and knew a ship was in distress (遇险). Even before the return signal burned out, Etheridge had summoned his men and begun rescue operations. ‎ For the lifesavers, the rescue of the Newman was nothing unusual. Over the years, so many ships had foundered off the Outer Banks that sailors called the region the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Noting the dangerous surf and wind conditions, Captain Etheridge quickly decided the surf boats would be impossible to control. Instead, he decided to use another way to help the survivors.‎ The crew set off on the long journey down the beach to the scene of the wreck (海滩). Captain Etheridge hoped to fire a line from a gun to the ship’s mast (船桅). After the ship’s crew dragged the line onboard, the surfmen would fire a second line and carry survivors safely to shore.‎ The surfmen crossed three miles of sand to reach the ship Newman. The water was freezing, and the men often sank up to their knees in sand. Captain Etheridge noted in his diary that “the voice of gladdened hearts greeted the arrival of the station crew,” but that “it seemed impossible for them to do anything under such circumstances. The work was often stopped by the sweeping current.”‎ Even when the rescue equipment proved useless, Etheridge refused to give up. Choosing two of his strongest surfmen, he tied rope lines around their waists and sent them into the water. The ‎ two men, holding a line from shore, walked with huge effort as far as they could before diving through the waves. Nearly worn out while swimming against the tide, they finally made it to the shore.‎ The first to be rescued were the captain’s wife and child. With the two passengers tied to their backs, the surfmen fought their way back to shore. Taking turns, Etheridge and his crew made ten trips to the Newman, saving every person onboard. It was 1:00 a.m. when the crew and survivors finally made it back to the station.‎ That night, as the exhausted survivors lay sleeping and his lifesaving crew rested, Captain Etheridge picked up his pen, and in the light of an oil lantern, wrote with satisfaction that all the people onboard had been saved and were “sheltered in this station”—words he would remember for many years to come.‎ ‎32. The beach patrols were canceled because ________.‎ ‎ A. Meekins paid enough attention to the horizon B. there was too much spray on the windows C. the winds and tide were too strong D. there was no ship near the station ‎33. The underlined word “foundered” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “___________”.‎ ‎ A. stopped B. sank C. sailed D. arrived ‎34. What was the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?‎ ‎ A. To warn sailors of the dangers of hurricanes.‎ B. To create a story describing a rescue at sea.‎ C. To inform people about Richard Etheridge.‎ D. To record the details about the Newman.‎ ‎35. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Newman was very dangerous before Richard Etheridge and his team members saw the signal.‎ B. A terrible hurricane took place off the coast of North Carolina and threatened the lives of many sailors.‎ C. At no other time in American history have so many shipwrecked passengers survived such a violent storm.‎ D. All the passengers of a shipwreck were rescued because of heroic the efforts of a special leader and his crew.‎ ‎   第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ E It is generally believed that money can’t buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, a new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Broadly speaking, people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face. ___36___‎ 1. Buy experiences, not material goods.‎ In a recently published study, Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people don’t have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods.‎ ‎ ___37___ But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.‎ 1. ‎___38___‎ No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it. With the same money you spend on one big object, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.‎ 2. Be sure to buy time.‎ ‎___39___For example, that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea, but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way reported lower life satisfaction, all other things being equal.‎ 3. Try giving it away.‎ Elizabeth Dunn, professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada, found that in nations as diverse as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money consistently made people happier.___40___‎ A. Be sure to buy what you like.‎ B. Here are some ways to better spend your money.‎ C. Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.‎ D. There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something.‎ E. People think experiences only provide temporary happiness.‎ F. This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor.‎ G. Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time.‎ 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，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ If you’re going to do something，my dad used to say，do it right．‎ ‎ Mostly he said that after my half-hearted(不尽力的) 4l to weed the vegetable garden．For some reason，he knew that there were white roots still 42__ deep in the ground without looking around the garden．So I would be in the 43 again the next day with a spade dig deep and 44__ the roots of our garden．As I tried to focus my attention on 45 ，Dad’s words kept echoing in my mind：“Do it right．”‎ ‎ I saw a perfect example of what Dad was talking about last week when one of the teams in the company was__ 46 ．All of us were sad to see them go．They were good friends and 47 ，and we worried about them．And __48 ，at such times you always wonder：am I next? ‎ ‎ But as we watched them during the week they were given to 49 ， many of us noticed that they weren't handling this in quite the way we expected them to． 50 none of them found another job，there was also no bitterness or __51 in their departure．I didn’t hear a negative word．I didn’t see any 52 or unhappy faces-at least，not from them．Instead，I saw grace．‎ ‎ “It’s 53 ，”one of my colleagues whispered．“I went over there to offer comfort and support to them，and they 54 comforting me．”‎ ‎ Ancient Greeks believed that swans save their sweetest song for the moments to their 55 ．I don't know if my departing friends 56 their ending as a“swan song”or not，but the calm，quiet dignity with which they embraced their cruel reality touched and 57 us． ‎ ‎ Lee，a man who has seen and 58__ lots of lay-offs during almost 40 up-and-down，on-again-off-again years with the company， 59 nicely for all of us．‎ ‎ “Now, that’s doing it right，”he said．‎ Somewhere，I just know Dad was smiling his _60 ．‎ ‎ 41．A．attempts B．judgments C．expectations D．requests ‎ ‎ 42．A．planted B．buried C．grown D．stuck ‎ ‎ 43．A．house B．school C．garden D．company ‎ ‎ 44．A．look forward to B．come up with C．fit in with D．get down to ‎ 45．A．watching B．thinking C．digging D．working ‎ ‎ 46．A．turned down B．1aid off C．cut down D．given up ‎ 47．A．competitors B．colleagues C.directors D．consultants ‎ 48．A．frankly B．naturally C．equally D．generally ‎ 49．A．hurry up B．turn up C．pack up D. come up ‎ 50．A．Since B．When C．Unless D．While ‎ ‎ 5l.
