Her mother had given birth to a boy before getting married to her father. This boy, who had been placed for adoption, later grew up to be Apple Inc. CEO and co-founder, Steve Jobs. She studied at Beverly Hills High School and then attended University of California and Columbia‎ ‎University. In 1993, she married TV writer and producer Richard Appel. The couple had two kids, Gabriel and Grace, before getting divorced.‎ Mona Simpson is a famous American novelist. She served as an editor for the “ Paris Review” when she was a student at Columbia university. Her first novel was “Anywhere but Here”, which was released in 1986. This Whiting Award winning novel was a huge success and was even adapted ‎ as a movie later on. The sequel(续集) of the novel, titled “The Lost Father”, came out in 1992. After this , Simpson published her third novel “A Regular Guy”. This novel described the strained（紧张的） relationship between a father and his daughter. Then in 2000, the author’s fourth novel titled “Off Keck Road” got published, which told the story of three ladies in the Midwest.‎ ‎ In 2001, she started teaching creative writing at the University of California, Los Angeles. She was also appointed as a professor at the Bard‎ ‎College around this time. A few years later, Simpson authored the novel “My Hollywood” that was published in 2010. This novel explored the thoughts of two women, Lola and Claire, and the complex relationship issues faced by them. After this she released her novel titled “Casebook” in 2014. The talented writer has also written short stores including “Victory Mills”, “Ramadan”, “The Driving Child” and “Holiday”, as well as an essay titled “A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs”.‎ 1.

What is the text mainly about?‎ A. A writer’s career B. A writer’s pursuit(追求) ‎ C. A writer’s way of life. D.

Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings？The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.‎ ‎ I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金) (our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).‎ For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them？ And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less？ Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It ‎ was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.‎ We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.‎ ‎24. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean？‎ A. The more, the better. B. Enough is enough.‎ C. More money, more worries. D. Earn more and spend more.‎ ‎25. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects？‎ A. Saving up for her holiday B. Adding the money to her fund ‎ C. Raising money for a poor girl D. Giving the money to a sick mother ‎26. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd？‎ A. To try out an idea B. To show a parent's love C. To train his attention D. To help him start a hobby ‎27. What can be a suitable title for the text？‎ A. Take It or Leave It B.A Lesson from Kids C. The Pleasure of Giving D. Live More with Less ‎ C Millions of Americans sit behind a computer screen, chained to their desk all day because the vast majority of stable, high-paying professions(职业) are “office jobs”. However, having a successful career does not require you to sit behind a desk and plug away at a computer all day.‎ In fact, there are a large number of non-desk jobs in a variety of industries that are growing and offering workers a direct path to the middle class, according to a new analysis of labor market information from CareerBuilder. While most of the highest-paying non-desk jobs are medical professions that require a doctoral or professional degree, there are 170 non-desk professions that pay $15 per hour or more, do not require a bachelor’s degree(学士学位) for a typical entry-level position, and have seen at least 6 percent job growth over the last four years.‎ ‎“The US workforce has gradually changed to office-based work because of the rise of the professional service economy and productivity gains associated with information technology,” Rosemary Haefner, Vice President of Human Resources Officer at CareerBuilder, said in a statement. “But some of the healthiest areas of job growth year after year are in middle-skill professions that don’t require workers to sit in front of computer monitors and phones for 40 hours a week.”‎ Here are the top-paying jobs that don’t require you to work at a desk in various kinds — none of which require a four-year college degree — and their hourly salary(工资) and growth rate since 2010: professional assistants : $26.57, 14 percent; elevator repairers: $37.81, 6 percent; mechanical engineering technicians: $25.19, 10 percent; and electromechanical(电动机械的) technicians: $24.68, 8 percent.‎ While they tend to pay less than traditional office jobs, non-desk professions provide a variety of benefits. Haefner points to a 2014 CareerBuilder survey that discovered workers who don’t work at a desk all day are less likely to complain about their work environment and less likely to report being overweight.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined phrase “plug away” in the first paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Turn off a switch.              B. Look for a job.‎ C. Keep on working.              D. Give up working.‎ ‎29. What conclusion can we draw from the second paragraph?‎ A. A non-desk job may provide you with a middle-class life.‎ B. The last four years has seen an increase in desk jobs.‎ C. The college degree is the ticket to a position.‎ D. A non-desk job cannot offer you a secure life.‎ ‎30. What is the key reason for the US workforce to change to office-based work?‎ A. High salary.               B. Medicine.‎ C. Information technology.              D. Service industries.‎ ‎31. Which job has grown the fastest since 2010?‎ A. Elevator repairers.               B. Professional assistants.‎ C. Electromechanical technicians.              D. Mechanical engineering technicians.‎ ‎ D One day my 13-year-old daughter told me that she was going to spend the afternoon at her friend Jesse’s house. I didn’t doubt it until I called Jesse’s number to remind Liz that it was her turn to walk the dog, and Jesse’s mom picked up the phone and said, “I thought she and Jesse were planning to be at your house.” It turned out that the two of them had decided to hang out at a coffee shop instead. When I questioned my daughter, she replied coldly, “What’s the big deal? You’re such a psycho(精神变态者).”‎ Can you say it is right or wrong for them to behave like that? Their changeable personalities leave you feeling angry and guilty at the same time. In fact, if your kids don’t annoy you from time to time, you’re not doing your job.‎ ‎“There’s nothing wrong about being angry with your child,” Says Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D., author of The 10 Basic Principles of Good Parenting. “Conflict(矛盾) is natural when your innocent, lovely child turns into an adolescent who can hardly tolerate you. It’s part of the process of separation.” Kids insisted on their personalities with behavior to purposely drive you crazy. It’s their way of saying, “I am my own person” -- but doing it in a context that’s safe and that has clear limits.‎ So when your little darling changes into a silent person who still expects meals, clothing, and transportation, don’t panic. Here’s how to handle some common problems without losing your temper or your self-respect.‎ ‎32. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.‎ A. Jesse’s mother told a lie B. the writer was too sensitive C. Liz told a lie to her mother D. the writer’s daughter stayed at Jesse’s house ‎33. By saying “In fact, if your kids don’t annoy you from time to time, you’re not doing your job”, the writer probably means that _________.‎ A. when you are doing a job, your kids shouldn’t annoy you B. parents should be responsible for children’s bad behavior C. parents shouldn’t tolerate their children’s bad behavior D. it’s understandable for kids to annoy their parents ‎34. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?‎ A. It’s right for parents to be angry with their children.‎ B. It’s normal for adolescents to go against the wishes of their parents sometimes.‎ C. It’s bad behavior for children to drive their parents angry.‎ D. It’s allowed for children to do anything as they like.‎ ‎35. What would the author write in the following paragraphs?‎ A. How to be good parents. B. How to be good children.‎ C. Rules for children to follow. D. How to deal with adolescents’ common problems properly.‎ 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。‎ ‎ Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance.

However, different people hold different opinions.‎ Some people support studying in WeChat groups. Their reasons are as follows. Firstly, people can learn new things they can’t get from the books. Secondly, learners can make full use of their spare time to study wherever they are. ‎ However, others don’t think so. They argue that the groups are poorly managed, which leads to much false information. Besides, studying by joining the WeChat groups is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully.‎ In my opinion, using WeChat groups to study is a good form, which can bring us great benefit. Not only can we be exposed to different knowledge but we can exchange ideas with others instantly. Taking everything into consideration, I approve of studying in WeChat groups.‎
