17、y summer. However, making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable, getting to a factory by 6 oclock each morning is suffering. My friends never seem to unders
18、tand why Im so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact,
19、all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night. Issues like being laid off and overs
20、eas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.After working 12-hour shifts (轮班) in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. “
21、This job pays well, but its hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading.” she added. When Im back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service ann

It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to
26、go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Instead, its a “giant evil” thats become a serious prob
27、lem in the country.So just how serious is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the countrys very first “Minister for Loneliness”. Her job is to tackle (处理) the loneliness that the countrys been feelinga problem which, according to UK government research,
28、 is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to ones physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And the problem hasnt just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph. A survey ca
29、rried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries.“There is something about British wanting to deal with problems themselves,” Christian Guy, director of the Centre f
30、or Social Justice think-tank (智囊团), told The Telegraph.But this doesnt mean that the problem only affects Britons. In fact, were all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now having access to the Internet, which has enabled us to be more connected than ever.What
31、 we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have “proper human connections”. “Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings
32、,” Leadbetter said at an event last year.But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or intimidated (吓倒) by it. After all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldnt even exist. And “evil” or not, being lonely i
33、s simply part of the experience of being human.28. What can we learn about the UKs loneliness problem?A. The UK became the loneliest country in the world in 2014.B. More than half of British people suffer from loneliness.C. The government is working to solve the problem.D. British people communicate
34、 less with their neighbors than ever.29. According to the text, social loneliness _.A. has become a problem worldwide B. didnt attract the publics attention until recentlyC. is mainly caused by the wide use of the Internet D. does more harm mentally than physically30. What does Leadbetter suggest do
35、ing to cope with loneliness?A. Making more phone calls to our friends. B. Stopping the use of electronic products.C. Interacting with the people around us face to face more often. D. Accepting its existence calmly.31. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. Loneliness is a gia
36、nt evil of society. B. Only artists can appreciate the beauty of loneliness.C. It is hard to find a solution to social loneliness. D. Loneliness is just a normal part of our life.DFor those who think that wealth can come without love, you should reconsider your position. To get wealth, if you believ
37、e what you see in movies, seems to mean that you have to give up love because: how can people get wealth if they are afraid to roll over others who stand in their way?I would disagree with this view because Ive seen a bad example. Several years ago, I knew a man who lost not only his wealth but also
38、 his respect, and at last was put into prison for deceiving (欺骗) his customers to make money. He was a man who pretended to care for the well-being of his customers who gave him their trust. He had been a man with good fame for many years, often admired and talked about as a true model of a caring b
39、usiness person. However, all he saw was the opportunity to deceive and make money. But I have also seen the opposite. Some people have got great wealth too, because they first feel love towards others and start businesses that help meet other peoples growth needs. For example, people like Dale Carne
40、gie, Anthony Robbins and other famous people who devoted their talents and lives to helping other people move forward. And there is also another kind of wealth. Some people love others and their point of view is to help others. These people will get wealth that is not measured in dollars and cents.
41、Instead, it is measured in caring, kindness, and the appreciation and admiration of others who they meet and deal with in their everyday life. They are quiet millionaires of life; millionaires with wealth that is not affected by the ups and downs of the stock market or the cost of daily necessities.
42、 32. The man mentioned in Para. 3 failed in the end because _. A. he was deceived by others B. he wasnt good at deceivingC. he didnt want to help others D. he made money in a wrong way33. The underlined part “the opposite” in Para. 4 refers to those who _. A. get wealth by helping others B. succeed
43、by deceiving othersC. help others but ask for nothing D. make efforts to meet other peoples needs34. According to the author, if you love and help others, _. A. you will lose a lot of money B. you wont care about moneyC. you will get another kind of wealth D. you will make good money more easily35.
44、What can be used as the best title of the passage?A. Three ways to become wealthy B. What do wealthy people have in common?C. What kind of wealth would you rather get? D. Loving and helping others brings you wealth第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。 Road Trip Plann

66、数应为150左右。 Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to
67、 Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a nearby garage, and put
68、 the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch: 6 pm. I was two hours late!I thought my father w

Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as
70、 possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.I would never forget the way he looked at me. “Im very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didnt show up on time, I called the gas station and asked
71、 if there was anything wrong They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know theres nothing wrong with the car at all.Paragraph 1:A wave of guilt swept over me and I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late. _ _ Paragraph 2:“But fa

Dad listened carefully as sadness passed through him, “Im angry, not with you but with myself. You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you

Im going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years.”Paragraph 2:“But father, its exactly eighteen miles home from here , and its dark. You cant walk back.” I be
78、gged. My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless. I had let my father down, and I was about to learn one of the most painful lessons of my life.
