第三部分阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的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。

A

Maximize your holiday budget

When it comes to planning a summer getaway, don’t leave money matters to the last minute. It’s wise to get the money matters in the bag first.

Travel insurance

Leaving your travel insurance to the last moment is potentially the costliest holiday mistake you can make. Travel insurance doesn’t just protect you from illness and theft when you’re away—it starts as soon as you buy it. This comes into use if you find you need to cancel your trip due to things such as illness or the death of a travelling companion. So it makes sense to get this sorted as soon as you make your first booking.

Travel money

The worst place to switch your cash into foreign currency is at the airport or ferry port. You’ll find the poorest exchange rates here as they know you’ve no other options. Buy your money at least a week before you go. The best rates can usually be found from specialist brokers, which are often also better than high-street banks. There are exchange-rate comparison websites such as Travel Money Max, which will let you know what you’ll get at the different locations.

A budget

It might not be the most fun thing to think about, but it’s arguably the most important of them all. Work out how much you can afford to spend when you’re away to avoid any nasty surprises when you get home. It’s helpful to have a daily budget that you adjust up and down if you spend more or less.

56. If you buy travel insurance, you will be compensated ______.
A. when you cancel your trip casually

B. when a tourist guide dies on the way

C. when you are ill before starting a trip

D. when your money is stolen during the trip

57. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. It makes sense to work out a daily budget in advance.

B. You’ll know different locations at Travel Money Max.

C. It costs the least to buy your money in high-street banks.

D. You will experience unpleasant surprises after your trip.

B

New study suggests angler education can benefit sharks

A new study finds fisher education can help protect vulnerable (易受攻击的) shark populations. The research, led by University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science scientists, showed that recreational anglers (钓鱼者) were more supportive of shark management and conservation if they had prior knowledge of shark conservation. “The recreational fishing community has a long history of supporting marine conservation efforts, so there is great value in trying to understand which factors affect their behavior and decision making, especially for threatened species such as sharks,” said Austin Gallagher, UM adjunct assistant professor and lead author of the study.

The researchers interviewed 158 recreational anglers in South Florida about their attitudes towards shark conservation. They found that many catch-and-release anglers recognized that sharks can suffer from post-release mortality (死亡) but it is still an under-appreciated consequence, particularly for species that are born sensitive, such as hammerheads (双髻鲨). The data also revealed that many recreational anglers are supportive of marine protected areas for threatened shark species, although climate change is a larger perceived threat to sharks than recreational fishing.

“Anglers generally care about shark conservation, but are unaware of some potential threats from recreational fishing and how they can best modify their angling techniques to improve survivorship of released sharks,” said co-author Neil Hammerschlag, research assistant professor at the UM Rosenstiel School and UM Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy.

According to the authors, the findings suggest a need for increased education and outreach on the impacts of catch-and-release angling on sharks to improve survival rates and conservation of threatened sharks.

“Our study identifies important disconnects between existing scientific evidence on the impacts of recreational fishing on certain shark species and existing conservation beliefs among anglers,” said Gallagher. “This is a good starting point for new conversations on sustainability within the fishing community.”

58. According to the passage, we can make anglers play a role in protecting sharks by ______.

A. managing them quite differently

B. providing other recreational activities

C. equipping them with necessary information

D. helping them to make much better decisions

59. More released sharks could have survived ______.

A. if they were sensitive species

B. if they had been angled scientifically

C. if the climate hadn’t changed so much

D. if they stayed out of protected areas

60. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Recreational fishing has little effect on protecting sharks.

B. Many recreational anglers are actually for marine conservation.

C. The fishing community will surely gain sustainable development.

D. The fishing community are willing to give up angling sharks.

C

Given that motivation is so central to our lives, what do we truly understand about how it operates and about its role in our lives? The assumption is that it’s driven by a positive, external reward. Do this, get that. But the story is much more complex.

One of the most striking aspects of motivation is that it often drives us to achievements that are difficult, challenging and even painful. You may think that you would be happy to spend all your time sitting on a white-sand beach drinking and that as long as you get to fill your days this way, you would be happy forever. But while a few days of enjoyment might be fun from time to time, I can’t imagine that you would be satisfied by spending your days, weeks, months, years and even your life this way.

Research that examines the differences between meaning and happiness finds that the things that give us a sense of meaning don’t necessarily make us happy. Moreover, people who report having meaningful lives are often more interested in doing things for others, while those who focus mostly on doing things for themselves report being only superficially (表面的) happy. The essential quality of “meaning” has to do with having a sense of being involved in something bigger than the self.

We all know people obtain a great sense of meaning even in the most unpleasant of circumstances. Many volunteers spend portions of their lives working indangerous, war-torn areas trying to keep disease and death from innocent civilians or teaching orphans to read. Their pain is real; their sense of doing something truly meaningful is substantial (丰富的). They show how our deep-rooted desire to believe that our lives have purpose beyond our lifespan drives us to work extra hard, even to the point of our own personal suffering, in order to gain more meaning.

The point is that these seemingly odd and irrational (不合理的) motivations get us to do things that are complex, difficult and unpleasant. But they go beyond helping people in need. They motivate us in every aspect of our lives — whether in our personal relationships, in our individual pursuits or in the workplace.

61. According to the author, which of the following about motivation is true?

A. Motivation is simply driven by external rewards.

B. Motivation is largely determined by social responsibilities.

C. Motivation enables us to gain more financial returns.

D. Motivation drives us to struggle for achievements.

62. According to the research, which of the practices gives us a sense of meaning?

A. Reading a classic novel in the leisure time.

B. Enjoying sunshine and comfort on the beach.

C. Accompanying terminal patients in hospital.

D. Listening to popular music in the sitting room.

63. The example of people’s voluntary work in Para. 4 mainly indicates that ______.

A. experiencing personal suffering is a necessary part of our growth

B. voluntary work serves the purpose of adding happiness to our lives

C. it’s our duty to help people in need to get out of their sufferings

D. life’s great rewards come from our experience of tough circumstances

64. What can we infer from the passage?

A. People should make sacrifices for social benefits due to their short lifespan.

B. The value and impact of motivation goes beyond our social circle and existence.

C. Helping people in need is the most important goal of a human being nowadays.

D. Superficially happy people usually put others first rather than focus on themselves.

D

Michael Herr, who has died aged 76, was the author of Dispatches (1977), the best book about the Vietnam war. Herr also made vital contributions to two of the best films on the war, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket.

It took Herr eight years to write Dispatches, in part because he went home from Saigon with a bad case of stress disorder. He had gone to Vietnam as a correspondent for Esquire magazine. An American general asked him whether he was there to write about military fashion, and another whether he was there to write humour. No, he told them. He wrote little for Esquire, but took advantage of the US government’s decision to allow correspondents extraordinary access to go to war with the soldiers. He shared their discomforts and their fears, witnessed their death and recorded their language.

His own language, a stream of consciousness pulsing with energy, but masterfully controlled, captured the fear and the horror, but also the excitement, of the war in the jungle and paddy fields. “So much beauty”, he recalled, “and so much pleasure”. He recorded with a connoisseur’s expertise (行家专长) such details as the many ways in which soldiers would wish each other good luck, and the degrees of madness that were considered acceptable.

He identified with the young soldiers and learned in the first few days that you could not affect neutrality (中立). “If you are neutral, you don’t get it,” said he. He generally did not carry a weapon, though on occasion he did fire at Vietnamese in emergencies. The young soldiers, he said, “are my guns”.

The power of the book, perhaps, comes from Herr’s insistence on describing the war, or more precisely his own responses to it, rather than protesting (抗议) against it. It also comes from the ceaseless accompaniment of two elements, drugs and music — more particularly rock music, and especially the music of Jimi Hendrix. Herr himself spent drug-fuelled weekends in a flat in Saigon, staring at an ancient French map of Indochina, and he never caught a helicopter without a Hendrix record.

He met soldiers with a left pocket full of Dexedrine, the “upper” officially administered by the army to get them into battle, and a right pocket full of “downers” to get them through it. Dispatchesdid not come out until 1977, when the country was beginning to have its mind on other problems, but it did more, perhaps, than any other book to freeze an image of despair and a sense of waste about the war, rather as the trench poets of 1914 —1918 did in Britain.

Herr also made vital contributions to two of the most influential Vietnam films. He wrote Martin Sheen’s voiceover for Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now and later wrote the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. His work, in the book and the two films, has been seen as part of the process whereby the US came to see itself and its history no longer merely through traditional literature, but in sounds and images, in ways that prefigured (预示) the internet.

In 1980 Herr moved to London, where he stayed until he moved back to the US in 1991. It was there that he met Stanley Kubrick, who became a close friend, though Herr warned against doing business with him. Herr wrote Kubrick’s biography, but he wrote surprisingly little else after Dispatches.

65. Why did Michael Herr go to Vietnam during the war years?

A. To join the soldiers in military actions.

B. To report military actions and advances.

C. To give an authentic account of the war.

D. To write about military fashion and humour.

66. What can we infer from Michael Herr’s statement underlined in Paragraph 4?

A. It was impossible to remain neutral during the war.

B. It was unnecessary to show pity for the war victims.

C. Neutrality is a means to keep you safe during the war.

D. Neutrality can help the civilians free from sufferings.

67. Which of the following about Dispatches is true?

A. It fully describes Herr’s protest against the war.

B. Its language is casually selected and organized.

C. Music and drugs give the author inspiration.

D. It truly reflects Herr’s responses to the war.

68. US soldiers brought drugs with them during the war most probably because ______.

A. they were addicted to drugs

B. they suffered stress disorder

C. they used them to cure the wounds

D. they exchanged them for music records

69. Which of the following can best describe Herr’s attitude towards the war?

A. Supportive.  B. Uninterested. C. Disapproving. D. Neutral.

70. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A. Herr’s work offered Americans more ways to know themselves.

B. Herr stopped writing after the book Dispatches was published.

C. Herr rejected his friend’s request to write a biography for him.

D. Herr’s work played a positive role in the birth of the Internet.

第四部分任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

What have we become? A society in which someone can have hundreds of online friends and yet go for days without human contact. We scan; we click; we text people in the next room instead of speaking to them; we even check our library books out by ourselves when once we might have chatted to a friendly person with an ink pad and a date stamp.

Loneliness can be dangerous. Recent research suggests that it may shorten people’s lives and make them more vulnerableto serious illness. It can distort (扭曲) senses of reality and even become an element that drives a few desperate young men to open fire on a cinema audience or a classroom full of children. Electronic voices on various devices can be the only ones some people hear. And what those voices say is not always true.

No man is an island, we are frequently reminded. There are those who choose to lead solitary (孤独的) lives, and live them well, but on the whole we are sociable beings and we suffer if we are on our own too much. Human contact makes us happier, although virtual relationships can be very positive.

So what could lonely people do to make real friends? An answer, among many, is to read more books. Reading begins alone but becomes a shared activity when a reader, for example, joins a book group, attends a literary festival or signs up for a continuing education course on an aspect of literature that interests them. There’s no shame in turning up to any of these alone, and fellowship is guaranteed. Fellow readers may well turn out be like-minded; it’s a basis for new friendships and sustained relationships. Sharing an understanding of a book is a good way of sharing feelings safely. Literary characters can be useful as personas.

But there is another important reason why everyone should read more books, and in particular fiction. The responsibility to fight loneliness lies with those who do not suffer from it. Lonely people often feel that there is no one who understands them or can share their point of view. They need to know that actually there are. That requires everybody else to make the imaginative leap of feeling that connection, and reading fiction helps. It makes people more empathic (移情) — sympathy for fictitious (虚构的) characters can translate into compassion (同情) in real life.

The stories of strangers reach us through many means: news bulletins, interviews, biography and memoir (回忆录), but also drama and fiction. Walking a mile in their shoes might help turn some of those strangers into real friends.

第五部分书面表达 (满分25分)

81. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

It’s a question every social-media user faces after taking a great photo: Should I post this? Or is it going to come back to worry me? The questions get doubly complex when they involve children. A parent on average will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the child turns five, according to a recent survey. Are parents putting kids at risk by oversharing on social media?

Here are the selections of the views.

Lauren Apfel (US)

The big reason to share is to build a community. I live, for example, thousands of miles from my family. In this atmosphere of modern parenthood, we all struggle to make it through the day, and the internet has become a source of support. In the early years of mothering twins, one of the things that brought me the most happiness was posting pictures of them on Facebook. Sharing those photos and engaging with an online community was a lifeline.

Dracarys (China)

I don’t post pictures of my kids online because I don’t like when friends of mine post photos of me online. It feels way too public and exhibitionist to me. So I treat my kids the way I want to be treated. That is probably what the parents who are comfortable with online photos think, too, when they decide to put the photos out there.

【写作内容】

1. 用约30个单词写出上文概要；

2. 用约120个单词阐述你对家长在社交网络上分享孩子照片的看法，并用2-3个理由或论据支撑你的理由。

【写作要求】

1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；

2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；

3. 不必写标题。

【评分标准】

内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。

One possible version 1:

While it is common for a parent to post children’s photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it’s beneficial while others are anxious about it.

In my opinion, posting children’s photos online is beneficial for people and makes a child better known. As a result, he is likely to have more chances to be successful in the future. It will also be easier for parents to communicate with other friends, for they have more to share with each other. Besides, it’s a way to strengthen an online social circle and connect with people we don’t know before.

Although there may be some disadvantages that come with posting children’s photos, it’s not necessary to be too cautious about it. We should have confidence in our society because we won’t throw away the apple because of the core.

One possible version2:

While it’s common for a parent to post children’s photos nowadays, people take different attitudes toward it. Some think it’s beneficial while others are anxious about it.

In my opinion, it is not always the smartest or safest thing to do so. What parents view as delightful photos may be interpreted differently by others and give a false image of what the child is really like. Besides, there is a growing crime called “digital kidnapping” in which individuals or companies steal children’s images and use them in advertisements or other commercial activities. Apart from the obvious dangers of identity theft, it can result in them being re-shared and altered by other online users without permission, which may end up damaging their school status or future career prospects.

In short, although sharing children’s photos online does have advantages, parents should be cautious about it.

W: Oh, no! We’ll never get a taxi at this time of day. Let’s see if our neighbors can give us a ride.

W: What are you doing? You look like you’re trying to make a wall out of these books!

M: I’m getting ready for a job interview. I want to know everything I can before my interview on Friday.

W: Why don’t you just look up “Bank of China” on the Internet?

M: I’ve already spent all day yesterday doing that. But I realized that I need to know more about banking, so I’m spending my Sunday reading up.

W: Surely you can find more information about bank loan officers on the web.

M: Everyone is going to use the Internet to prepare. I think if I read a lot, I’ll do better in the interview. I want to know more than the other applicants.

M: May I help you find something?

W: I’m not sure about this red dress. I am going to my high school reunion this summer, and I want something to make me look young and successful.

M: I think this black dress will be perfect. It’s quite beautiful, and the color suits you well.

W: That is nice, but I’m afraid it’s out of my price range.

M: Perhaps you’d like to try something from this corner of the store. All the dresses on this shelf are on sale.

W: Wow! Sixty percent off the original price! That seems too good to be true.

M: We’re making room for the summer collection. That’s why you can get such a good deal. I think this blue dress would be perfect for your reunion.

W: I do like it. I don’t have time to try it on, though. Can I buy it now and then just return it later if I don’t like it?

M: I’m sorry, but I’m afraid our sale items cannot be returned.

W: I think I’ll just buy it anyway. If it’s too small, I’ve still got two months to lose weight. I’m sure I can fit into it.

M: I’d like to send this package to Canada. Do you think it will arrive before the weekend?

W: Not by regular mail. If you’re willing to pay for express shipping, it will definitely get there before Saturday. Let’s see how much it weighs.

M: It’s mostly books, so it’s quite heavy.

W: Yes, it’s over five pounds. The express shipping rate will be about thirty dollars.

M: Thirty dollars?! I’m afraid that’s more than I planned for. But I have to get these books to my sister before her classes start next week.

W: Well, it’s only Tuesday, so you could send them First Class. That would only cost you ten dollars, and the package should arrive in three to five business days.

M: But in that case, they might not arrive until next week, right?

W: I’m afraid that’s a possibility. With First Class mail, we can only guarantee delivery by next Tuesday.

M: Well, I guess I’ll have to pay for the overnight shipping and hope my sister pays me back.

W: OK. You said this mostly contains books. Any batteries, liquids, or explosives in the package?

M: Of course not.

W: Good. Your total comes to twenty-nine dollars and fifty cents. Your tracking number is on the receipt.

Welcome to Freshman Orientation Week. We have some fun activities planned for you, and we also want to make sure we answer all your questions. More than anything, we want you to make friends, enjoy yourself, and become part of the Smith University family. You’ve all received a backpack with some free school supplies. Did you notice that the backpacks come in six different colors? That’s because you’ll be divided into six different teams. Look for the flag that matches your backpack color. If you have an orange backpack, you should go stand under the orange flag. For those with blue backpacks, you’ll want to join the blue team. We also have yellow, red, green, and black teams.  We want you to mix with other new students and find new friends. Today, your team will take part in a race to find seven different university services on campus. You should find all the places on the list. Make sure you take a picture of yourself at each place, and come back here when you’re done. The first team to finish will win free gift cards to the university bookstore. Now that you’re in your groups, we have a few more instructions. Choose one person to be your leader and another to be your photographer. And remember that even if you don’t finish the whole list, be back here – the university cafeteria – by twelve o’clock. Now, let’s start our race. Ready? On your marks, get set … go!
