When students started classes on Monday, they were zipping to an app on their laptops and had instant access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum (课程).‎ Dennis Lauro, director of an information center which provides technical support to public schools in New York, said neither he nor his colleagues were aware of a similar digital effort in a public school setting. “This is the wave of the future.” Lauro said. “I’m not surprised that a private school would beat the public schools to it. They have the ability to just do it. There is so much politics involved in public schools, when it comes to a move like that, needing approval from boards and committees.”‎ For Tom Collins, Stepinac’s president, the commitment to digital source material was not so difficult a decision. In the past, students’ families had to spend up to $ 700 a year on textbooks. This year — after the one-time purchase of a laptop — families only need to pay $ 150. Using the digital library is almost as easy as opening a new book. A student can instantly lap into a digital book and open a map of Egypt or a speech by President John F. Kennedy. A teacher can show a page from a digital book on a whiteboard at the front of the class or send students a link to a particular math problem with notes added in.‎ The first few weeks may bring some challenges. Stepinac officials expect some parental ‎ discomfort over dropping concrete books. They recognize there may be technical faults at first. And they will have to encourage students to leave space-eating photos and music off their laptops — and to keep their laptops charged. ‎ ‎21. What is going on in Stepinac? ‎ A. It’s building a new library. B. It’s changing its management pattern C. It’s updating its digital resources. D. It’s reforming its textbooks.‎ ‎22. By saying the underlined sentence, Lauro believes _______ .‎ A. it’s a trend for schools to go digital B. private schools have their advantages C. the effort is to cause instant changes D. public schools face great challenges ‎23. Who may worry about the move in Stepinac?‎ A. Parents. B. Technicians. C. Officials. D. Teachers.‎ B Do you like to show off your expensive items? You could find yourself without friends! Scientists prove that expensive status symbols make you look less socially attractive.‎ Items such as a fancy car and a Rolex watch are often thought to increase our social standing(地位) and often come with a high price tag(标签).According to the latest research, however, it has the opposite effect and people would prefer to be friends with someone who places less value on material objects.‎ ‎“Often we think that status symbols will make us look more socially attractive to others,” says Stephen Garcia, the study's leading author from the University of Michigan. He adds, “However, our research suggests that these status signals actually make us look less socially attractive.‎ The researchers conducted six studies which assessed how people presented themselves and how people viewed strangers. People who chose to wear higher status items tended to get a negative response, but people wanted to be friends with people who preferred lower status symbols.‎ The study took the role of the luxury(奢侈) item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in people's reactions. The definition of a status symbol changed based on a person's socioeconomic status, but the same effect of keeping off potential friends was seen regardless of social position.‎ ‎"At a social level, we may be wasting billions of dollars on expensive status symbols that finally keep others from wanting to associate with us, "says Kimberlee Weaver Livnat at the University of Haifa. She says, "And to the extent that close friendships are important to well-being, and we may be unintentionally hurting ourselves.”‎ However, Patricia Chen of the National University of Singapore said this does not necessarily mean status symbols are a bad thing. She says, "Our findings right now only apply to the formation ‎ of new friendships. Status symbols may be beneficial at other times and in other settings, such as when trying to establish new business contacts.”‎ ‎24.Which is the negative influence of expensive status symbols?‎ A. Preventing people from making friends. B. Lowering people's social status. ‎ C. Doing harm to people's health absolutely. D. Changing people s consumption concept.‎ ‎25.Who may be more popular among friends according to the text?‎ A. People who are very rich. B. People with high social status.‎ C. People with charming appearance. D. People who keep a low status. ‎ ‎26.What attitude does Patricia Chen have towards status symbols?‎ A. Unconcerned. B. Positive. C. Critical. D. Casual.‎ C Doing business nowadays without a cellphone? Living a very private life? I can’t imagine it anymore.‎ Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker explained it very well: For the average working person, there’s no greater feeling than powering down your computer and kissing goodbye to your work emails for the day. If we’re lucky enough to disconnect from the job on evenings and weekends, we’re overjoyed to leave work emails and the stress that comes with it in the office.‎ But experts say we’re increasingly failing to do so, instead bringing the burden home with us and dealing with emails during our free time. Unsurprisingly, this routine has some serious consequences.‎ Working abnormal or long hours has long been linked with depression(抑郁症), anxiety and even heart disease. In addition, the importance of weekend recovery has also been linked with weekly job performance and personal initiative(主动性). And further research showed psychological detachment(脱离) during off-work time reduced emotional exhaustion caused by high job demands and helped people stay engaged.‎ So, if we know all this, it begs the question: Why are we still letting work bother our precious weekend? According to Cary Cooper, professor of Organizational School, the recent trend even spills into the way we access our work communications and projects.‎ Today, says Cooper, work emails are just a tap of a smartphone away. “You don’t carry your laptop around when you’re out to dinner, but you do carry your mobile phone,” he says. “The smartphone does not make up for what is lost.” So delete your work email account from your inbox(收件箱), and leave the worries until Monday. ‎ ‎27. What did Chris Stokel-Walker try to stress?‎ A. The development of office work. B. The importance of working hard. ‎ C. The pleasure of completing work. D. The power of modern technology.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined part “this routine” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. Using a cellphone. B. Working in personal time. ‎ C. Failing to work long hours. D. Leaving work emails behind.‎ ‎29. What does Cary Cooper think of working extra hours?‎ A. It isn’t boring. B. It isn’t interesting. C. It isn’t common. D. It isn’t worth.‎ ‎30. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Can we live without a cellphone? B. What should we do on weekends? ‎ C. Should we ban weekend work emails? D. Who should be blamed for work overload?‎ 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 In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. 31 ‎ If you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is a list of ideas to help you.‎ ‎ 32 In this day and age where everything is sent via the Internet, it’s a shock to receive a letter through the post. Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive impact.‎ Requiring some time and research to find the perfect project, volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving your time to help someone else is incredible. There are so many opportunities. 33 ‎ Tell someone “I love you”. It can be anyone. 34 Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that it’s her birthday. Sometimes, in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.‎ ‎ 35 Whether you’re creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you’re not creative, the recipient will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!‎ A．However, you can make a difference.‎ B．It’s a surprise to send a handwritten letter.‎ C．And you don’t even have to say “I love you”.‎ D．So you are sure to find one that is right for you.‎ E．And it doesn’t necessarily have to take up all your life.‎ F．Making something for a special person is always unique.‎ G．Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone’s day.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ In 2009 a group of parents in an English town started sharing worries about their children’s money management skills.

We may use complaining as a coping mechanism (办法) when we are truly unhappy. However, there are many times when we don’t try our best and just want things to work our way. We may try to cover our faults by complaining about the unfairness of it all. These are expressive complaints where the complainer just wants to let out his/her anger or frustration, with no real intention of solving the problem. The complainer expects pity and recognition from the listeners although the results often disappoint him/her.‎ Sometimes, we use complaints as a conversation starter. Conversations that start with a complaint often have a domino effect(多米诺效应). It may cause the listener to include his/her complaints in the conversation as well, which makes you think that you are not the only one facing problems. However, your good feeling won’t last long as long as you are always focusing on the negative.‎ When complaining becomes a habit, you complain to anyone that comes around. Negativity that comes from complaining kills creativity and innovation (创新). Habitual complainers are less likely to come up with new ideas, as they are busy finding faults and discourage others from trying ‎ new things by making them feel that they won’t work. When you spend time with people who constantly complain, you are likely to view things in a negative light. This will make things worse. This can affect the way you perceive your own situation, and even the people around you.‎ Though expressing your feelings may momentarily(片刻地) improve your state of mind, it could sometimes have a bad effect on the listener’s state of mind. A recent study has shown that at social gatherings while people who are unhappy may join you when you play the victim at the beginning, the majority would start avoiding you because of your negativity.‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎___________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 答案 ‎1-5 CCBBA 6-10 CBBAB 11-15 ACABC 16-20 AABCC ‎21-DAA ADB CBDC ‎ ‎36-ABDCF ‎36- ACDCB ACBAA BDCBC ADBCB ‎56. that/which 57. expressions 58. the 59. differently 60. to find 61. with ‎ ‎62. intelligent 63. left 64. have discovered 65. making 66. 应用文写作：‎ Dear Mark,‎ ‎ How are you these days?
