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

During the fifth episode of the most recent season of House of Cards, President Underwood immersed himself in a beautiful mobile game. You may wonder what this colorf ul creation was. Well, it‘s the puzzle game Monument Valley.

Just five hours after its appearance on the hot TV series, the game‘s sales began to increase sharply, according to App Figures, an organization that tracks app sales.

The app, first released in last April, has won many awards, including taking the best overall game prize at the 11th International Mobile Gaming Awards held in San Francisco, US, and also three prizes at the Game Developers Choice Awards last month, including Best Visual Art, Innovation, and Best Mobile Game.

The rules of the game are simple. You play as a silent princess named Ida. All you need to do is explore the three-dimensional world through touching where you want to go. But the challenge is you can‘t trust your eyes. Many times you will feel stuck in one place, but suddenly after you move one object, the path will be revealed to you.

More than that, the joy of playing the game comes from its visual design. It builds on concepts from the art of Dutch graphic artist MC Escher, Japanese woodblock prints and temple architecture from around the world, according to https://www.wendangku.net/doc/ce4735546.html,, a technology news website. Filled with colorful objects, everything appears to pop out of the screen. But no two stages are alike, even within the same world.

―Every screenshot looks like a little work of art, and seeing how pieces of the levels move is a treat all on its own,‖ wrote Shaun Musgrave, an editor of gaming website https://www.wendangku.net/doc/ce4735546.html,.

Its eerie soundtrack also wins fans‘ hearts. As the gaming website https://www.wendangku.net/doc/ce4735546.html, commented: ―Every interaction you have with the screen is enhanced with a musical sound effect—rotating blocks sound like a wind-up music box, gears like the strings of an guitar—all adding to the relaxed atmosphere.‖

Its success revealed tha t ―there was still a place for beautifully-crafted mobile games on the app stores,‖ said to The Guardian.

Ken Wong, the lead designer of the game, believes developers should be true to their games. ―Don‘t listen to all these marketing. Just make the game how you want to make it,‖ he told https://www.wendangku.net/doc/ce4735546.html,.

56.Why did the writer mention House of Cards at the beginning of the passage?

A. To arouse TV viewers‘ interest.

B. To introduce a new TV series.

C. To show how the software became popular.

D. To criticize politicians who play mobile games.

57.This software appeals to most users mainly because of its ________.

A. popular theme

B. unique name

C. visual effect

D. sound effect

B

Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words. Words do provide us with some information, but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words.

We don't always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words don‘t mean anything except ―I'm letting off some steam. I don‘t really want you to pay close attention to what I'm saying. Just pay attention to what I'm feeling.‖ Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a ho use says to the current owner, ―This step has to be fixed before I'll buy.‖ t he owner says, ―It's been like that for years.‖ Actually, the step hasn't been like that for years, but the unspoken message is: ―I don't want to fix it. We put up with it. Why can't you?‖

The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed by examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situation, and how it was said.

When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior.

We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, ―It sure has been nice to have you over,‖ can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically(例行公事地). The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.

58.The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A.words provide listeners with the most important information

B.listeners can gain insight if they listen for words carefully

C.the comprehension of a message is influenced by a few factors

D.when messages are presented is of great importance

59.Why shouldn‘t people rely too much on words alone?

A.Words are used to describe a big part of the many ideas.

B.Words always successfully represent what we say.

C.Listeners may not develop healthy relationships.

D.Listeners will fail to understand the unspoken language.

60.With the example of the couples‘ behavior of kissing and arguing, the writer ________.

A.places stress on the way messages are presented

B.points out examining the situation can improve comprehension

C.emphasizes on the importance of the timing of a message

D.reminds the listeners to check their understanding more frequently

61.What is the most suitable title for the passage?

A.Words matter

B.The unspoken meaning

C.The art of speaking

D.Be a smart listener

C

A week after Halloween, a new speed limit of twenty-five miles per hour will go into effect on every surface road in the five boroughs of New York City, except where stated otherwise. The idea is to make the streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians, a particular aim of Mayor Bill de Blasio. Fourteen children were killed by drivers last year. You won‘t find a citizen who doesn‘t wis h that this number were zero.

Since 1964, the speed limit has been thirty m.p.h, but for a large number of the driving population it hasn‘t really ever been anything at all. Due to the ineffectiveness of law enforcement, drivers have often gone as fast a s they can. Usually, that isn‘t very fast at all, thanks to congestion or the degraded condition of the road. But now and then the traffic clears up. Smooth open road is so rare, at least in the denser parts of the city, that a lead foot can hardly resist the urge to hit the gas. In a city where everyone is busy, any chance to save time is sweet.

But now, supposedly, that‘s all coming to an end. The governor of New York State is the one who signed the speed limit into law. ―Governor‖ also happens to be th e word for a device that regulates the speed of a machine, so the Mayor, you might say, has installed a governor on the engine that is New York. More cameras, more tickets, more police cars lying in wait. Now we believe speed is evil. This feels funny: a city that has long identified itself as sleepless and fast, aspiring to everything quickly, is being asked to slow down. Slow food, slow money, now slow cars–the New York minute will, from now on, be sixty seconds long.

Manhattan is 13.4 miles in length. At twenty-five m.p.h., that‘s half an hour, end to end. This seems about right, considering that to the people from Manhattan the normal time span of a trip from any part of the borough to another, be it by car, bus, bike, skate board, or subway, is presumed (often correctly) to be thirty minutes. So maybe the new speed limit was devised with that in mind. Twenty-five m.p.h. is also about three times the running speed of a Norway rat. Cockroaches, darting for darkness, look awfully fast, at fifty body lengt hs per second, but if they are seen in the open and that‘s just around three miles per hour. As for the airways, a pigeon-keeper friend writes, ―Street pigeons are usually much healthier than the public thinks, but they‘re not exactly athletes.‖ Their cruising speed, he said, is ―probably thirty, thirty-five m.p.h. when they‘re really heading somewhere.

The speed-limit change is another milestone in the ongoing struggle for control of the streets. The Bloomgerg administration began redesigning the streets, to decrease the car‘s dominion, and now de Blasio is continuing the campaign. The most persistent objections come from the people for whom driving is part of the job. Delivery, plumbing, construction. You‘re not going to use bicycles to build the Hudson Yards. ―Nobody drives around the city more than me,‖ a master on a construction site said. ―It‘s got worse with the people. It‘s not the cars. The cars have been going the same speed. We have this diesel pickup, and it‘s good to have a car with a big engin e in the city, because when you come to a light the thing roars, and the people look up. And then they start to scatter.‖ He went on, ―This guy thinks speed‘s the problem?

I think the people who are clueless with their head in their electronic devices is the problem. People are getting hit by bikes. They are walking into job sites, they‘re falling in holes, they‘re tripping on curbs. I‘d say it‘s time to give the city back to the cars.‖

62.What is the purpose of the new speed limit?

A.To solve the problem of congestion on the road.

B.To ensure the security of the people who drive cars.

C.To protect cyclists and pedestrians from being hit by cars.

D.To cut down on the number of child victims in car accidents.

63.Why have the drivers often gone as fast as they can since 1964?

A.The traffic has cleared up every now and then.

B.The road condition has been increasingly improved.

C.There is no such rigid law to restrict drivers‘ behavior.

D.Many drivers choose not to take the speed limit seriously.

64.What does the underlined part ?a lead foot‘ most probably refer to?

A.Someone who gets cold feet when driving.

B.Someone who has a tendency of speeding.

C.The foot that is more skillful than the other one.

D.The foot that a driver stretches out first out of habit.

65.What can be inferred from ―give the city back to the cars‖ in the last paragraph?

A.It is not cars to blame for traffic problems.

B.Drivers should be under the supervision of the police.

C.Certain jobs should be taken into account when making traffic laws.

D.More and more people have raised persistent objection against speed limit.

D

Last year I ruined my summer vacation－a two-week vacation at my wife‘s family cabin on a lake in northern Ontario, located at the boundary of the US and Canada－by bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad.

Instead of admiring the beauty of nature, I checked e-mail. Instead of paddling an old canoe, I followed my Twitter feed. Instead of devouring great (or merely amusing) novels, I stuck to my workday diet of four newspapers each morning.

And that was the problem: I was behaving as if I were still in the office, sticking to the unending news cycle. My body was on vacation but my head wasn‘t.

So this year I made up my mind to try something different, a social media experiment in reverse: withdrawal from the Internet. Could I manage to unplug?

I knew it wouldn‘t be easy, since I‘m not good at self-denial. But I was determined. I started with a

physical restraint: handing the iPad to my wife, who helpfully announced that she was going to use it to read a 630-page novel for her book club and would not be inclined to relinquish the tablet for even a moment.

Then, a stroke of luck: The cell phone signal at the Canadian cabin was spottier than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration.

I was trapped, forced to comply with my own good intentions. Largely cut off from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had little way to connect to the world except for radio－and how much radio can one listen to, really?

I had no choice but to do what I had planned to do all along: read books. I experienced criminal plots on the streets of Los Angeles, cutthroat battles between cancer labs and the psyche of a London social butterfly in 1922. And there were old magazines to read.

I‘m not claiming that I cut myself off from the Internet completely. Every few days, we biked into the nearest town and, as a reward, sat on a park bench in front of the public library to use its Wi-Fi. And back at the cabin, we suffered through a slow dial-up connection once a day to check e-mail.

This tale of self-denial has a happy ending－for now, at least. With determination and deep breathing, plus the strong support of my wife, I succeeded in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was me, of course, not the iPad, that was the problem.

I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. ―Don‘t need it,‖ I said, trying not to sound too pleased.

However, as we return to post-vacatio n situation, a test begins: Can I stay on the wagon now that I‘m back at work? There are times when the compulsion to know what‘s being said right now is overwhelming (and for me, sometimes it‘s crucial to my livelihood). And I have no intention of giving up my membership in the cult of immediacy. But I hope to resist the temptation to reflexively check my e-mail every five minutes, which often leads, as long as I‘m looking, to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.

A vacation is supposed to help y ou reset your brain to become more productive. Here‘s hoping this one worked.

66.What ruined the writer‘s trip last year?

A.That he was worn out because of the schedule.

B.That he forgot to bring amusing novels with him.

C.That he read too much newspaper last year.

D.That he was distracted by too many things unrelated to the trip.

67.What does the underlined word ?restraint‘ mean?

A. A calm and controlled behavior.

B. A relaxing move.

C. A strong determination.

D.An unshakable faith.

68.What did the writer do to get in touch with the outside world during the trip?

A.Reading online newspapers.

B.Following his friends‘ Twitter.

C.Checking email every now and then.

D.Listening to the radio.

69.Why did the writer claim that his self-denial process have a happy ending?

A.He has completely turned down the Internet.

B.He gave up his habit of checking the latest news online.

C.He realized that his body was on vacation but his head wasn‘t.

D.It dawned on him that it was people that are in control of their behavior.

70.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Say no to electronic devices.

B.Relationships harmed by distractions.

C.Abandoned distractions ease break.

D.Things that can take your mind off.

第II卷非选择题(两部分，共35分)

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:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。

When we are born, we are unspoiled. As we grow, we develop many complexities due to many influences in our lives. During childhood, we are repeatedly discouraged, blamed, and in some cases, abused. As we grow older, we develop our own version of right and wrong. We create a world of our own.

Our brain collects and keeps all visual, auditory information from the moment we are born and to the smallest of the details. Apart from our brain having memory, cells in our body, in billions, have their own memory. In other words, our body store both physiological and psychological memories. We are complex emotional beings in nature compared to any other living animal.

Apparently, physical and psychological memories strongly influence our emotions! Interestingly, we can create, store, and release emotion like energy. Moreover, if we do not process our emotions properly and suppress them for a long time, they can find a way out violently and unexpectedly.

Unfortunately, we carry our guilt throughout our lives resulting in ever-increasing burden on our shoulders. We become heavy with guilt and anger for things we could or did not achieve, for things we cannot have, to cite few examples. Evidently, everyone carries his or her own sack of guilt and anger.

One must question our nature of accumulating and carrying our guilt and anger until the end. Both guilt and anger are useless for us. They give us no advantage. Therefore, one may ask: is there a way to put down the sack from our weary shoulders? It is possible, indeed. Importantly, since our guilt and anger inside us are neither addressed nor given attention to, they are stored. Actually, we should process and address our emotions in order to remove them from our system. We cannot just wish them away.

In fact, by acknowledging their presence and providing a channel for them to disappear, we can remove our emotions gradually. Taking drugs, consuming alcohol only worsens the situation. They only provide temporary comfort and relief. Is there a better way to unload our burden? Luckily, we have natural gift to process our feeling and emotions. Forgiveness stands first of all other natural remedies(疗法).

Indeed, there is no better way than forgiving ourselves. Not withstanding, we should learn to readily forgive others. When we learn to forgive ourselves, we also naturally forgive others.

In summary, there is no benefit carrying our years of emotional baggage. By forgiving, we can throw away the emotional baggage we carry for years, if not decades, and it can lead to positive ones. Forgive your past mistakes. The moment you start forgiving, you feel a lot lighter and years of heaviness lifted magically! To your surprise, you start feeling a lot more energetic and optimistic in your daily life.

We are not a big organization, but just a group of people who wanted to find a way to make the world a nicer place. We live in London and come from different countries, cultures and walks of life, but the one thing we have in common is the fact that we are kind and giving people who want to see more people like us out there.

Want to get involved?

All you need to do is just a small good deed as often as you can. If you want to inspire others, then post your deeds on our website.

Some tips for you to get started:

●Open the door for someone.

●Offer your seat on the train or bus for someone who needs it more than you.

●If a colleague asks for your help at work and you are really busy, find a way.

●If someone is in need, like a man in a wheelchair struggling to get across the street, help them.

●If you see someone crying, don‘t ignore them, ask if you can help.

书面表达参考答案

The website introduces who they are and how to start small good deeds. By doing so, they call on people to post their deeds on the website to encourage others to do the same.

I can’t agree more with what they are doing! I really think that small things make a big difference. If we keep doing so, we can make us responsible members of the society.

One day, on my way to school I saw a girl of about ten waiting for the green light at a crossing knocked down by a passing car, which drove off quickly. Many people rushed to the girl to give her first aid and I joined in without hesitation. Luckily she was not badly injured and we sent her to the nearest hospital. Compared with the escaped driver, I am proud of what we did.

As a member of the society, I am aware that being responsible is what it takes to make a better society. (171 words)

M: You promised to go to the Olympic Games with me this afternoon. Are you ready to go now?

W: Oh, yes, I did say that. But, as you can see, I have some unexpected visitors now, so I am afraid

I can’t go anymore.

Text 2

W: How was school today? Your teacher called me this afternoon.

M: The same as always, Mom. Oh, there was one thing. I got in a big fight.

Text 3

M: I’m afraid you can’t get into the cinema because you do not have a ticket.

W: Oh, I must have lost it, but I can find a person who can prove that I did have a ticket. Is that all right?

Text 4

W: What was your favorite subject in high school, Henry?

M: I used to love math, but now I can’t stand it. I’m much more into English now.

W: That’s so funny! I am just the opposite.

Text 5

M: Did you make a reservation on the 7:00 flight?

W: I thought you wanted to take the 6:00 flight. It’s too late to change it now.

W: Have you ever made dumplings before?

M: There was a party my first year in China where someone came and tried to teach us how to make dumplings. I didn’t do very well.

W: I’ll let you in on a secret. No one makes really good dumplings his or her first time!

M: Well, I’m not sure that I’ll do better the second time.

W: Of course you will. Pr actice makes perfect! Come on, I’ll teach you.

M: Hmm, I suppose it couldn’t hurt. Who knows? Maybe they’ll be edible this time!

W: Mine always taste good! But you can’t eat any of mine if you don’t at least try to make some yourself.

M: All right. So, what kind shall we make? How about pork with green onions?

W: Have you been to the National Museum since it reopened?

M: No, have you?

W: Yes, I went yesterday with some friends who were visiting from out of town. It was wonderful! We were only able to see a few of the exhibits because we spent so much time looking at the jade exhibit. It was amazing. The jade was simply amazing. The collection includes pieces from around the time of Peking Man through the Qing Dynasty. Although the artistry of the later pieces is superb, I think I enjoyed the early ones best. The stones were so beautiful, the carved patterns were simple yet elegant, and they were all done with such primitive tools — truly astonishing!

M: That sounds like it’s worth a visit. My wife would probably enjoy it, too. How much is the entrance fee?

W: That’s the best part. Like most museums in Beijing, admission is free!

M: Did you watch the NBA game last night?

W: No, I didn’t see it. In fact, I almost never watch NBA g ames.

M: What? You’ve got to be kidding! Basketball is the best thing on TV.

W: All it is a bunch of men in shorts running around with a ball. What’s so great about that?

M: What’s so great about it? Why, it’s the greatest sport ever, that’s what! To pl ay basketball professionally requires a lot of athletic ability, physical determination, and speed. It’s a very fast game, and it’s very exciting to watch.

W: Well, I think it’s silly. All the players do is bounce the ball, throw the ball, run around tr ying to take the ball from each other... I just don’t understand it. I’d much rather watch a movie, a talk show, or even a game show than a basketball game!

M: Well, I can see that we are never going to agree on this. Let’s change the subject. So, what do you want to do this weekend?

Text 9

M: Madam, do you know how fast you were going just now?

W: Uh, well, no, I didn’t think I was going that fast...

M: This is a 25 mph zone, Madam. You see that school over there? You were going 35 mph.

W: But today is Sunday, sir. There is no school today.

M: That doesn’t matter, Madam. There are signs that say what the speed limit is. Besides, children often come to school on the weekends to play sports. You see all those kids over there? What if you hit one of them by accident?

W: I’m sorry, officer, I won’t do it again. Could you please let me off with a warning?

M: I’m afraid I can’t do that, Madam. In school zones, I’m required to give tickets to all drivers who break the rules. It’s the law in this count y.

W: Oh, dear! What is this going to cost me?

M: I don’t know, Madam. Usually, these things can be taken care of for less than ＄100. Now please sign here at the bottom.

W: OK... is that all?

M: One more thing, if you go to traffic school, your insura nce won’t go up. Have you been to traffic school before, Madam?

W: No, I haven’t.

M: There are many cheap options online. It’s definitely better than paying more for insurance.

W: OK, thank you.

M: My pleasure.

And now for today’s health news. A new study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania suggests that eating chocolate every day might actually be good for you. Researchers gave people different amounts of chocolate, from none at all to several servings, every day for six weeks and measured their blood pressure, body fat, and emotional condition. What they found may surprise you. It turns out that eating a small amount of chocolate every day is better than eating none at all! People who ate a small amount of chocolate regular ly had lower blood pressure and reported feeling happier than people who didn’t eat any chocolate. Eating a lot of chocolate every day resulted in increased weight gain and higher blood pressure, but it actually had a positive impact on mood. The scientists were quick to point out that the chocolate under investigation was dark chocolate, which has less fat, less sugar, and fewer calories than milk chocolate. They also said that adding chocolate to one’s diet should be combined with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. Although the researchers said that there is still a lot of work to be done in this field, the initial findings are no doubt great news for all you chocolate lovers out there!
