英语试卷

说明：本试卷分第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分，共8页。时间120分钟，满分120分。第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Picking a destination may be the hardest part of getting ready to study abroad. It’s hard to pick just one to be your home. We are here to help you narrow it down, with a complete guide to the top four studying abroad destinations.

Number 4: Australia

Australia is a country where strong programs seem a bit obvious based on the location itself. Anything dealing with the environment is a natural choice of study, because Australia has such a unique climate across the country. You’ll need a student visa to study in Australia. Most universities will send you an official form along with more information about the visa process once you’ve met these requirements.

Number 3: China

Some fields like business or economics stand out just because of the nature of the country itself as an economic superpower. Other areas like cultural studies might give you more options to pursue programs that would help you get a better feel of what life is like in less developed areas. You’ll need a visa for any program you decide to do in China. You’ll also need to make sure your passport is valid for at least six months after your planned departure date. Be sure to pay attention to different entry and exit requirements too if you plan to do any side traveling to places like Hong Kong.

Number 2: France

Aside from studying the French language, France is a great place for students, who are interested in art, literature, music, history, architecture, or a combination of any of the above. If you’re planning to be in France for more than 90 days, you’ll need a visa. This process can take a long time (think two months or more), so be sure to start early.

Number 1: The United Kingdom

The UK is home to some of the oldest, most respected universities on the planet. You’re almost guaranteed to find an incredible program for any subject you could possibly think of. You’ll need one of two types of visas depending on how long you plan to study there and what you’ll be doing.

1. According to Number 4, we can know that __________.

A. the weather in Australia is almost the same all year round

B. the location of Australia influences its programs greatly

C. most universities in Australia can provide visas for foreign students

D. the development of science in Australia is the rapidest in the world

2. If a foreigner is about to study in China, he should __________.

A. bring a student visa with him

B. volunteer to work in less developed areas

C. ensure that his passport can be valid at least for the following six months

D. apply for a different visa to travel in Hong Kong

3. Who may be mostly interested in the article?

A. Students who plan to study abroad.

B. Teachers who plan to teach in universities.

C. Travelers who plan to visit other countries.

D. Students who plan to work outside.

Superman Returns, X-Men, The Fantastic Four and Iron Man have been on the list of superhero movies since the dawn of the 21st century. The success of them has gone beyond all expectations, with six of the top 12 highest box office grosses (票房收入) being held by superhero movies. There are many theories as to why these films have become and remained so popular over the last decade.

Some experts consider most movies to be forms of escapism (逃避现实). They are traditionally meant to be a combination of education and entertainment, and superhero films tend heavily toward the latter element. Watching a superhero movie is a great chance to relax and not think about stress or difficult things in your life.

Historically, during times of war, films have become a hotbed of patriotism (爱国主义). Superheroes are charged with bringing peace, fighting violently if necessary, and trying to maintain a normal life. Some audience members may relate to that concept, either on a personal level or in relation to their ideas about war and any current world situations. Moreover, most superheroes serve as a hope-inspiring figure, an image of someone who can save us all from dark and difficult times. Superhero movies promote the ideas of peace, safety and freedom.

Aside from the global and psychological reasons, superhero movies are just a lot of fun. Since the success of Spiderman, the Hollywood film industry has begun throwing huge amounts of money at the films, to great effect. Most of the big-earning superhero films of the 21st century are written, acted, and technically produced by the best minds in the film business. In 2008, The Dark Knight was released, making back nearly its entire production budget of $185 million dollars in the first weekend.

Superhero movies are many things to many people. To comic book lovers, they are the realization of their favorite worlds. To those feeling the strain of economic, personal, or national problems, they are a welcome escape for a few hours. Grab your popcorn and your chocolate and look for a good seat in the middle of the row, because it looks like superhero films will continue to have a wild ride.

4. The author lists some superhero movies in Paragraph 1 in order to show that ________.

A. superhero movies are shot in the 21st century

B. superhero movies express the idea of escapism

C. superhero movies make more profit than other movies

D. superhero movies get popular over the last decade

5. People like superhero movies during times of war because __________.

A. people can be saved from dark and difficult times

B. people can gain positive energy from superhero movies

C. people can learn how to fight against other countries

D. people can know more about the current world situations

6. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Watching superhero films is a way of entertainment.

B. Comic book lovers don’t dare to face the reality.

C. Superhero films are a new form of education.

D. People who love their country watch superhero films most.

7. What’s the best title for the passage?

I spent my first four weeks in Granada at the Centre for Modern Languages. This institution is part of the UGR, but has many students enrolling for a month or two at a time to learn Spanish.

One of my most useful activities there was my weekly language exchange with Lucia, a Ph.D. student from Cordoba. She and I walked around the city for an hour or so, and I spoke in Spanish while she practiced her English. These language exchanges were not only fun, but also helped develop Spanish skills.

While in Spain, I took two kinds of trips, and I would recommend each for different reasons. At the end of February, I participated in a group activity called Morocco Exchange. The four days we spent travelling around Morocco was the best time in my life. We started from Tangier, spent a few hours in Asilah and a day in Rabat, with a final stop in Chefchaouen. We did a few touristy things, such as visiting some magnificent Roman ruins in Chellah. But we also had the opportunity to communicate with real Moroccan students, who answered our questions frankly and with good humor.

About a month later, I had the other kind of trip. Spain celebrated Semana Santa (the week before Easter) with a week-long vacation, and I planned a trip to Valencia, alone. It was challenging and a little lonely at times, but a really fantastic experience. I liked the freedom to do what I wanted, and I also had the opportunity to meet some incredible people at the hotel. It can be extremely satisfying to do things by yourself, like exploring an entire city by bicycle. But one must take care, especially as a female, and be a little more vigilant (警惕的) when travelling alone.

8. We infer the writer went to the Centre for Modern Languages to _________.

A. work part-time B. do sight-seeing

C. work as a teacher D. improve her Spanish

9. How did the writer probably find her time with Lucia?

A. Boring. B. Beneficial. C. Relaxing. D. Uncomfortable.

10. What do the two kinds of trips mentioned in the passage refer to?

A. Group travelling and travelling alone.

B. Group travelling and travelling in the country.

C. Travelling with classmates and travelling alone.

D. Travelling in a hurry and travelling in a relaxing way.

11. We infer when the writer was travelling in Valencia, ____________.

A. she felt completely safe

B. she didn’t quite enjoy herself

C. she found the trip was very easy

D. she could take charge of her plans

Enough may never be enough. As human beings, it seems that once we attain what we think will make us whole, we grow bored quickly and need something new in order to feel satisfied. We are addicted to what we don’t have.

You’d better sit down at this very moment and make a list of all the reasons why you’re fortunate and while you’re writing the list, you would want nothing more. You could get together with a group of people whom you care about and discuss ideas. You would feel comfortable with what you have and who you are at that moment or some hours later. The talking heads always tell you that you need to be rich and famous on your television, so your desire for more becomes unquenchable (难抑制的). You forget that you are enough. You find yourself making comparisons between your life and the life of people you assume who have figured it out, and all of your accomplishments are never enough to satisfy you.

The issue with this “never enough” mentality is that we all have it to some degree. We fail to realize that even the people who have figured it out are on some level still as lost and broken as everyone else. Everyone is constantly looking for validation (确认) in the form of likes and comments to give meaning to our sense of self. We honestly believe that as long as we buy into the illusion (错觉) when we are happy, everything is going to be great, we won’t have to face reality. Reality is that we want all the material, social media fame, and worthless validation in order to feel accepted by others. The reason why all of those things bring only temporary satisfaction is that they aren’t the answer. We all keep looking for other people to accept us in order to feel whole. But in fact, it is when we accept ourselves that we can feel really satisfied. We are in a universal competition for acceptance that no one wants a part of, but so few have the courage to stop competing. What will ever be enough?

12. After writing down the reasons why you’re fortunate, you may think ___________.

A. you are lucky enough B. you need something new

C. you will grow bored quickly D. you should discuss ideas with others

13. According to Paragraph 2, the people who have “figured it out” refer to those _______.

A. who don’t dare to face the reality

B. who intend to compare with others

C. who have achieved some kind of success

D. who are unlikely to be accepted by others

14. People can only get long term satisfaction if __________.

A. they can achieve great success

B. they believe in their own abilities

C. they can accept themselves joyfully

D. they stop commenting on others’ behavior

15. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To warn people not to set long-term goals.

B. To ask people to appreciate what they have.

C. To teach people how to hold a positive attitude.

D. To inform people of the importance of comparison.

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Once you’ve decided what’s really important to you, you still need some practical suggestions to help you organize your time more efficiently. The following five time management tips will be very helpful for you.

Never do everything at a time. For other activities that simply need to be done, you’d better see if you can spend less time on them. It may be possible to put some of these off for days, or even weeks, while you focus on the things that really matter.

The greater control you have over a goal, the greater your chance of reaching it is. For example, you need to have more control over increasing your skills at a certain job than over becoming president of your company.

Keep track of your time. How much time is being lost on unimportant activities? Where do most of your interruptions come from? Do you occur during certain time periods or on specific days of the week? Once you have this information, it will be easier for you to arrange your time next time.

Expect the unexpected. You need make plans in your life. And allow for the unexpected. If you need to be somewhere and you think you can make it in 15 minutes, allow 25. Leave some blocks of time throughout the day unscheduled so that you have a buffer (缓冲) against the unexpected.

Take periodic breaks. I use applied focus sessions in which I do 45 minutes of focused effort, followed by 15 minutes of something else. After 45 minutes, our ability to focus begins to become This is often when my best ideas come to mind and I end up feeling re-energized and ready to make things happen.

A. Set realistic goals.

B. However, don’t make yourself too busy.

C. You’ll never know until you give them a try.

D. Focus on activities that bring important results.

E. I like to do my most challenging tasks early in the day.

F. I use those 15 minutes for walking around, getting a drink, and so on.

G. Find out where your time is going and try to keep a time journal for a week.

Though giant pandas may appear perfectly happy chewing bamboos, scientists recently discovered that they would rather have something sweeter. Scientists chose because the animals are herbivores (食草动物), which would mean that they would love sweets. , the plant they choose, the bamboos, has a very sugar content and is therefore not considered sweet.

第二节书面表达（possible version）

On the afternoon of October 4, 2015, a most powerful typhoon, with extremely strong winds and heavy downpours in its core, crashed into our city.

The typhoon took the worst possible course in the city centre, leaving a trail of severe damage in its path. Thousands of residents fled to safety, for not only did it cause flooding, but it also collapsed trees, cutting off powers and water supplies. Even some people got injured by falling trees, broken rooftops and glass. As it is estimated, the disaster has caused huge economic losses, especially in city forestry as well as facilities, though it didn’t claimed lives.

Luckily, after the disaster, thousands of people and soldiers spared no effort at the relief and reconstruction work. Soon our city began to breathe again and everything returned to normal.
