I think it was October, 1982. A friend had business dealings in the city of Reno, Nevada, and I was asked to accompany her on an overnight trip. While she conducted her business, I was aimlessly wandering down Virginia Street，heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but I couldn’t make eye contact with anyone. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She 1ooked at me as though I were from some other planet and said, “Well…’’ Surprisingly, she followed me out.
When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”
For a few seconds we just 1ooked. Then I said, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it and sharing the beauty.
Four years later my situation had changed considerably. I had come to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a Unity Magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: cosmetic sales in a department store. We had a lot in common.
Then something happened to her that changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”, and she had realized the truth in that statement and that she simply had not been seeing it. From that moment on, she turned her life around.
25. Why did the writer duck into a department store?
A. She found it was boring with nobody talking to her.
B. She wanted to buy something for her friend.
C. She wanted to find somebody sharing the beautiful sunset.
D. She thought it was his responsibility to share the natural beauty with others.
26. What does the sentence “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world” mean?
A. We should be optimistic in the face of uncertainty.
B. We should believe in God who can help us when we are in trouble.
C. We should never hold the belief that God can change our life.
D. We should be independent and enjoy ourselves in spite of difficulties.
27. What do you think finally changed the writer’s attitude towards life?
A. The old magazine she came across. B. The encouragement from the woman.
C. The sunset they enjoyed four years ago. D. The woman’s story.
28. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Depending on yourself B. Sharing beauty
C. Struggling every day D. Never giving up halfway
C
Imagine you’ve finally landed a job of your dreams in another city. It’s everything you’d hoped for, but there’s only one problem — housing costs in the area are so high that you’re forced to live in a parking lot.
While this sounds like an impossible situation, this predicament is a reality for one man.
Brandon, 25, is a software engineer for Google at its San Francisco, California campus.
“I realized I was paying too large an amount of money for the apartment I was staying in, and I was almost never home,” he told Business Insider. “It’s really hard to justify throwing that money away. You’re not putting money into anything and you are not building it up for a future.”
Since scoring his job in May 2015 following a successful internship, he’s been living in a truck on a parking lot a short distance from his workplace.
The tech worker makes up for the lack of facilities by eating, using the bathroom and showering at work, also charging his phone and computer there.
San Francisco is home to the most expensive rental market in the US, with the average rental for a one-bedroom apartment coming to ,590 (24,900 yuan) a month, according to property site Zumper.
And while some may not be able to handle giving up life’s luxuries just to put aside some cash, Brandon estimates that he’s saved almost ,000 since he moved in just over 18 months ago.
“Not only do I get to invest all of that redirected rent money, but I get to invest all the money I’m not spending on furniture, facilities and buying food,” Brandon wrote on his blog.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “predicament” in Paragraph2?
A. possibility B. disappointment C. dilemma D. mess
30. Why does Brandon prefer to live in a truck on a parking lot?
A. Because he has no time to go back to an apartment.
B. Because the rent is too high and he thinks it isn’t worthwhile.
C. Because his workplace provides him with what he needs
D. Because he wants to save money for an apartment of his own.
31. What does Brandon think of his choice?
A. Difficult B. Embarrassing C. Painful D. Wise
D
Pigeons may only have a brain the size of a thimble (頂針), but it appears that pigeons can categorize and name objects in the same way human children learn new words.
A new study from the University of Iowa has shown that the birds are capable of learning to categorize 128 different photographs into 16 basic categories.
Scientists taught three pigeons to sort out different kinds of dogs or types of shoes, for example by using a particular symbol in exchange for a reward. When they were shown black and white pictures of previously unseen dogs or shoes, the birds were able to correctly match these with the corresponding symbols.
The scientists behind the project say this is a similar approach taken by young children when they are first learning words for objects. However, the researchers said it took their birds around 40 days to perfect the task of learning just 16 categories.
Professor Edward Wasserman, who led the work, said: “Our birds’ rate of learning appears to have been quite slow. Would children learn faster than pigeons? Almost certainly. However, our pigeons came to the experiment with no background knowledge at all. Thus, the more relevant comparison group may be newborn babies, who indeed take 6–9 months to learn their first words.”
Writing in the journal Cognition, the researchers said their experiment was a very simple mirror of the way children are taught words — by their parents pointing to pictures and asking them to name the object.
Pigeons are known to be smarter than many birds. Professor Bob McMurray, who also took part in the study, said the results showed that human learning is not as unique as was previously believed.
He said: “Children are facing a huge task of learning thousands of words without a lot of background knowledge to go on. For a long time, people thought that such learning is special to humans. What this research shows is that the ways in which children solve this huge problem may be shared with many species.
32. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Pigeons and young children take a similar approach to learn words.
B. Pigeons are known to be smarter than newborn babies.
C. Pigeons recognize objects in the same way children learn words.
D. Pigeons are unique as they can learn like humans.
33. Why does the writer think newborn babies are the more relevant comparison group?
A. They don’t have any background knowledge.
B. They learn relatively slow.
C. Pigeons and newborn babies learn at a similar speed.
D. Young children are smarter.
34. From the passage, we can learn that .
A. learning without background knowledge is unique to humans
B. many species may be able to learn without background knowledge
C. pigeons are able to solve many huge problems
D. pigeons are known to be the smartest birds
35. The passage is intended to .
A. introduce pigeons B. prove a fact C. support an opinion D. report a study

When it comes to rumors and gossip, everyone can be fair game. 36 And then suddenly, it can possibly be your turn to be the target. So, how can you deal with it in a way that won’t make the situation worse?
Try to understand where it’s coming from, and why
If you can, figure out who started the rumor. Is the rumor meant to hurt you, or is it just a case of misinformation? Is someone trying to get back at you for something? 37 Therefore, you can have a better understanding of how to deal with it.
38
Identify someone who didn’t start the rumor and get him or her on your side. Ask this person to stick up for you, and tell others in the group that the rumor is not true, and most importantly, very hurtful.
Lower the chances that it will happen again
First, be careful with your secrets. Second, use the buddy system. It helps to have a best friend who you can trust to be on your side and watch your back when you need. 39 Lastly, do onto others as you would have them do onto you. 40 When you keep your gossip to yourself, it is not easy for you to be a prime target for somebody seeking to get even.
A. Don’t spread rumors about other people, but explodes with anger when they are about you.
B. Do the same for him or her to make sure your friend stays loyal.
C. Keep calm when you are gossiped about.
D. At one moment, the big rumor can seem to be about someone else.
E. Get someone in the middle to make a stand.
F. If you have been the victim of gossip and rumors, you might want to go “an eye for an eye”.
G. It is important to get this information before you react to the rumor.

I think it was October, 1982. A friend had business dealings in the city of Reno, Nevada, and I was asked to accompany her on an overnight trip.

“I realized I was paying too large an amount of money for the apartment I was staying in, and I was almost never home,” he told Business Insider. “It’s really hard to justify throwing that money away. You’re not putting money into anything and you are not building it up for a future.”
Since scoring his job in May 2015 following a successful internship, he’s been living in a truck on a parking lot a short distance from his workplace.
The tech worker makes up for the lack of facilities by eating, using the bathroom and showering at work, also charging his phone and computer there.
San Francisco is home to the most expensive rental market in the US, with the average rental for a one-bedroom apartment coming to $3,590 (24,900 yuan) a month, according to property site Zumper.
And while some may not be able to handle giving up life’s luxuries just to put aside some cash, Brandon estimates that he’s saved almost $28,000 since he moved in just over 18 months ago.
“Not only do I get to invest all of that redirected rent money, but I get to invest all the money I’m not spending on furniture, facilities and buying food,” Brandon wrote on his blog.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “predicament” in Paragraph2?
A. possibility B. disappointment C. dilemma D. mess
30. Why does Brandon prefer to live in a truck on a parking lot?
A. Because he has no time to go back to an apartment.
B. Because the rent is too high and he thinks it isn’t worthwhile.
C. Because his workplace provides him with what he needs
D. Because he wants to save money for an apartment of his own.
31. What does Brandon think of his choice?
A. Difficult B. Embarrassing C. Painful D. Wise
D
Pigeons may only have a brain the size of a thimble (頂針), but it appears that pigeons can categorize and name objects in the same way human children learn new words.
A new study from the University of Iowa has shown that the birds are capable of learning to categorize 128 different photographs into 16 basic categories.
Scientists taught three pigeons to sort out different kinds of dogs or types of shoes, for example by using a particular symbol in exchange for a reward. When they were shown black and white pictures of previously unseen dogs or shoes, the birds were able to correctly match these with the corresponding symbols.
The scientists behind the project say this is a similar approach taken by young children when they are first learning words for objects. However, the researchers said it took their birds around 40 days to perfect the task of learning just 16 categories.
Professor Edward Wasserman, who led the work, said: “Our birds’ rate of learning appears to have been quite slow. Would children learn faster than pigeons? Almost certainly. However, our pigeons came to the experiment with no background knowledge at all. Thus, the more relevant comparison group may be newborn babies, who indeed take 6–9 months to learn their first words.”
Writing in the journal Cognition, the researchers said their experiment was a very simple mirror of the way children are taught words — by their parents pointing to pictures and asking them to name the object.
Pigeons are known to be smarter than many birds. Professor Bob McMurray, who also took part in the study, said the results showed that human learning is not as unique as was previously believed.
He said: “Children are facing a huge task of learning thousands of words without a lot of background knowledge to go on. For a long time, people thought that such learning is special to humans. What this research shows is that the ways in which children solve this huge problem may be shared with many species.
32. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Pigeons and young children take a similar approach to learn words.
B. Pigeons are known to be smarter than newborn babies.
C. Pigeons recognize objects in the same way children learn words.
D. Pigeons are unique as they can learn like humans.
33. Why does the writer think newborn babies are the more relevant comparison group?
A. They don’t have any background knowledge.
B. They learn relatively slow.
C. Pigeons and newborn babies learn at a similar speed.
D. Young children are smarter.
34. From the passage, we can learn that .
A. learning without background knowledge is unique to humans

When it comes to rumors and gossip, everyone can be fair game. 36 And then suddenly, it can possibly be your turn to be the target. So, how can you deal with it in a way that won’t make the situation worse?
Try to understand where it’s coming from, and why
If you can, figure out who started the rumor. Is the rumor meant to hurt you, or is it just a case of misinformation? Is someone trying to get back at you for something? 37 Therefore, you can have a better understanding of how to deal with it.
38
Identify someone who didn’t start the rumor and get him or her on your side. Ask this person to stick up for you, and tell others in the group that the rumor is not true, and most importantly, very hurtful.
Lower the chances that it will happen again
First, be careful with your secrets. Second, use the buddy system. It helps to have a best friend who you can trust to be on your side and watch your back when you need. 39 Lastly, do onto others as you would have them do onto you. 40 When you keep your gossip to yourself, it is not easy for you to be a prime target for somebody seeking to get even.
A. Don’t spread rumors about other people, but explodes with anger when they are about you.
B. Do the same for him or her to make sure your friend stays loyal.
C. Keep calm when you are gossiped about.
D. At one moment, the big rumor can seem to be about someone else.
E. Get someone in the middle to make a stand.
F. If you have been the victim of gossip and rumors, you might want to go “an eye for an eye”.
G. It is important to get this information before you react to the rumor.

For you, the “Clear and Bright” day that falls in every April might be no more than just another holiday — the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students 61 (much) than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms (二十四節(jié)氣).
But this ancient system that Chinese people have used 62 (keep) track of the time of year was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人類非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn))on Nov. 30.
To be fair, the terms do sound old; they 63 (invent) thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural 64 (activity). But the truth is 65 they still have an influence on our lives today, even if we don’t realize it most of the time. For example, people from 66 (north) China are in the habit of eating dumplings 67 the day of Winter Solstice (冬至). And on Start of Autumn, some treat 68 (they) to a big feast, especially of meat, something they call “putting on autumn weight”, or tieqiubiao.
According to Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun, the system is a philosophy of time, 69 applies to everything. And this means they are 70 (likely) to die out.

Dear David,
I’m glad to receive your letter. Thank you for your concern about the heavy smog in North China. Now I’d like to tell you something about it.
Since the winter last year, the smog has occurred a lot of times, which has brought much inconvenience to our daily life and done great harm to people’s health. Many traffic accidents have happened just because of the heavy smog weather. In addition, quite a lot of flights have to be put off and a great number of people have to stay at home to avoid the poisonous air . What’s worse, many people have suffered from bad coughs, sore throats and other serious diseases caused by the smog. Personally, I think not only the government but also everyone should try to make a difference. I strongly approve of the idea that we can try to drive less and buy environmentally-friendly products. Only when everyone has the awareness can we have cleaner air.
Hoping to hear from you soon and share your good ideas.
Yours,
Li Hua

I think it was October, 1982. A friend had business dealings in the city of Reno, Nevada, and I was asked to accompany her on an overnight trip. While she conducted her business, I was aimlessly wandering down Virginia Street，heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but I couldn’t make eye contact with anyone. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She 1ooked at me as though I were from some other planet and said, “Well…’’ Surprisingly, she followed me out.
When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”
For a few seconds we just 1ooked. Then I said, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it and sharing the beauty.
Four years later my situation had changed considerably. I had come to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a Unity Magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: cosmetic sales in a department store. We had a lot in common.
Then something happened to her that changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”, and she had realized the truth in that statement and that she simply had not been seeing it. From that moment on, she turned her life around.
25. Why did the writer duck into a department store?
A. She found it was boring with nobody talking to her.
B. She wanted to buy something for her friend.
C. She wanted to find somebody sharing the beautiful sunset.
D. She thought it was his responsibility to share the natural beauty with others.
26. What does the sentence “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world” mean?
A. We should be optimistic in the face of uncertainty.
B. We should believe in God who can help us when we are in trouble.
C. We should never hold the belief that God can change our life.
D. We should be independent and enjoy ourselves in spite of difficulties.
27. What do you think finally changed the writer’s attitude towards life?
A. The old magazine she came across. B. The encouragement from the woman.
C. The sunset they enjoyed four years ago. D. The woman’s story.
28. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Depending on yourself B. Sharing beauty
C. Struggling every day D. Never giving up halfway
C
Imagine you’ve finally landed a job of your dreams in another city. It’s everything you’d hoped for, but there’s only one problem — housing costs in the area are so high that you’re forced to live in a parking lot.
While this sounds like an impossible situation, this predicament is a reality for one man.
Brandon, 25, is a software engineer for Google at its San Francisco, California campus.
“I realized I was paying too large an amount of money for the apartment I was staying in, and I was almost never home,” he told Business Insider. “It’s really hard to justify throwing that money away. You’re not putting money into anything and you are not building it up for a future.”
Since scoring his job in May 2015 following a successful internship, he’s been living in a truck on a parking lot a short distance from his workplace.
The tech worker makes up for the lack of facilities by eating, using the bathroom and showering at work, also charging his phone and computer there.

Pigeons may only have a brain the size of a thimble (頂針), but it appears that pigeons can categorize and name objects in the same way human children learn new words.
A new study from the University of Iowa has shown that the birds are capable of learning to categorize 128 different photographs into 16 basic categories.
Scientists taught three pigeons to sort out different kinds of dogs or types of shoes, for example by using a particular symbol in exchange for a reward. When they were shown black and white pictures of previously unseen dogs or shoes, the birds were able to correctly match these with the corresponding symbols.
The scientists behind the project say this is a similar approach taken by young children when they are first learning words for objects. However, the researchers said it took their birds around 40 days to perfect the task of learning just 16 categories.
Professor Edward Wasserman, who led the work, said: “Our birds’ rate of learning appears to have been quite slow. Would children learn faster than pigeons? Almost certainly. However, our pigeons came to the experiment with no background knowledge at all. Thus, the more relevant comparison group may be newborn babies, who indeed take 6–9 months to learn their first words.”
Writing in the journal Cognition, the researchers said their experiment was a very simple mirror of the way children are taught words — by their parents pointing to pictures and asking them to name the object.
Pigeons are known to be smarter than many birds. Professor Bob McMurray, who also took part in the study, said the results showed that human learning is not as unique as was previously believed.
He said: “Children are facing a huge task of learning thousands of words without a lot of background knowledge to go on. For a long time, people thought that such learning is special to humans. What this research shows is that the ways in which children solve this huge problem may be shared with many species.
32. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Pigeons and young children take a similar approach to learn words.
B. Pigeons are known to be smarter than newborn babies.
C. Pigeons recognize objects in the same way children learn words.
D. Pigeons are unique as they can learn like humans.
33. Why does the writer think newborn babies are the more relevant comparison group?
A. They don’t have any background knowledge.
B. They learn relatively slow.
C. Pigeons and newborn babies learn at a similar speed.
D. Young children are smarter.
34. From the passage, we can learn that .
A. learning without background knowledge is unique to humans
B. many species may be able to learn without background knowledge
C. pigeons are able to solve many huge problems
D. pigeons are known to be the smartest birds
35. The passage is intended to .

When it comes to rumors and gossip, everyone can be fair game. 36 And then suddenly, it can possibly be your turn to be the target. So, how can you deal with it in a way that won’t make the situation worse?
Try to understand where it’s coming from, and why
If you can, figure out who started the rumor. Is the rumor meant to hurt you, or is it just a case of misinformation? Is someone trying to get back at you for something? 37 Therefore, you can have a better understanding of how to deal with it.
38
Identify someone who didn’t start the rumor and get him or her on your side. Ask this person to stick up for you, and tell others in the group that the rumor is not true, and most importantly, very hurtful.
Lower the chances that it will happen again
First, be careful with your secrets. Second, use the buddy system. It helps to have a best friend who you can trust to be on your side and watch your back when you need. 39 Lastly, do onto others as you would have them do onto you. 40 When you keep your gossip to yourself, it is not easy for you to be a prime target for somebody seeking to get even.
A. Don’t spread rumors about other people, but explodes with anger when they are about you.
B. Do the same for him or her to make sure your friend stays loyal.
C. Keep calm when you are gossiped about.
D. At one moment, the big rumor can seem to be about someone else.
E. Get someone in the middle to make a stand.
F. If you have been the victim of gossip and rumors, you might want to go “an eye for an eye”.
G. It is important to get this information before you react to the rumor.

I 48 a stack (堆) of $2 bills and started giving them out. The kids started to 49 because it was free money. The 50 thing I asked them was to spend it on 51 people.

Dear David,
I’m glad to receive your letter. Thank you for your concern about the heavy smog in North China. Now I’d like to tell you something about it.
Since the winter last year, the smog has occurred a lot of times, which has brought much inconvenience to our daily life and done great harm to people’s health. Many traffic accidents have happened just because of the heavy smog weather. In addition, quite a lot of flights have to be put off and a great number of people have to stay at home to avoid the poisonous air . What’s worse, many people have suffered from bad coughs, sore throats and other serious diseases caused by the smog. Personally, I think not only the government but also everyone should try to make a difference. I strongly approve of the idea that we can try to drive less and buy environmentally-friendly products. Only when everyone has the awareness can we have cleaner air.
Hoping to hear from you soon and share your good ideas.
Yours,
Li Hua
