Welcome to the world of homonyms. Take, for
30、example, the word fail - it can be a kind of festival, and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game. Dont take it literallySo how do you know which meaning someone is referring to? - You dont, except by the context. Obviously, if someone asks you to give them a hand
31、, they dont want you to remove what is at the end of your arm.Whats in a name?Sometimes even the context doesnt help much - the result can be amusing. These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:I used to be a banker, but I lost interest.Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who cou

When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: No change yet.More ambiguityAnd these examples play with the different meanings of a verb:I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.

35、boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital. When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: No change yet. (no difference in the situation / no money)I wondered why the ball was getting bigger. Then it hit me. (the ball hit me / I suddenly realized)No one knew she had a dental
36、 implant until it came out in a conversation. (became known / fell out)A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat. (cant be better / difficult to mix with a fork)Time flies like an arrow. (time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana. (insects enjoy eating fuit.)56. Which of the following statement
37、s about homonyms is NOT true?A. They share the same spellings regardless of meanings.B. We cant know their meanings without context.C. We may still feel confused even with context.D. Their ambiguity brings great trouble to our life. 57. The “beat” in the sentence “A boiled egg in the morning is hard
38、 to beat, making for a satisfying breakfast.” has a similar meaning to _.A. The rain was beating down on the tin roof.B. Taking the bus sure beats walking.C. The doctor could feel no pulse beating.D. Youve been working too hard, you look dead beat.B We might think we know which colours do what. The
39、idea that red wakes us up or blue calms us down is deeply rooted in Western culture. But do they really change our behaviour in the ways that we assume?When it comes to scientific research, the results are mixed and at times contested. Some studies have found that people do better on cognitive tasks
40、 when faced with red rather than blue or green; others show the opposite. The idea is that if you repeatedly have a particular experience surrounded by a certain colour, then you eventually begin to associate that colour with the way you were feeling or behaving. A school career spent reading your t
41、eachers red writing circling your mistakes forever makes you link red with danger. Blue meanwhile is more likely to be associated with calmer situations like marvelling at a big blue expanse of sky.Of course there will always be exceptions - the comment from the teacher saying “well done” is also wr
42、itten in red. It is true that people do make different associations with different colours, but whether this translates into behaving in a certain way or succeeding at a particular task is a different question.In 2009 researchers tried to clarify the situation. They sat their participants at compute
43、r screens coloured blue, red or “neutral” and tested them on various tasks. With a red screen people did better on tasks requiring attention to detail, but when the screen was blue they did better on creative tasks. In practice this might be tricky. In a classroom you might want to think creatively
44、some of the time and pay attention to detail at others.However, when another team tried to repeat the study with a larger group of people in 2014, the effect of colour disappeared. The initial study consisted of just 69 people. In this new, bigger study, of 263 volunteers, background colour made no
45、difference.So colours might well have an effect, but so far those effects have been difficult to demonstrate consistently and sometimes dont seem to exist at all. 58. Whats the major function of the first paragraph?A. To present a widely held view B. To raise a question of behavior changeC. To intro
46、duce the theme of the passageD. To summarize the whole passage59. The author mentions the exception in Paragraph 3 in order to show _.A. there are exceptions to every ruleB. people tend to associate colors with behaviors C. colors dont necessarily mean particular behaviors D. colors do matter to tho
47、se who desire success60. It can be concluded from the results of the studies in 2009 and 2014 that _.A. the research findings are practical in indoor decorationB. solid evidence is inadequate to prove how colors affect usC. a larger study may help confirm colors effects on our behaviors D. walls sho
48、uld be painted different colors depending on different tasks C My father was, by nature, a cheerful, kindly man. Until he was thirty-four years old he worked as a farm-hand for Thomas Butterworth near the town of Bidwell, Ohio. On Saturday evenings he drove his horse into town to spend a few hours i
49、n social intercourse with other farm-hands. He was quite happy in his position in life. It was in his thirty-fifth year that father married my mother, a school teacher. Something happened to the two people. The American passion for getting up in the world took possession of them. Mother induced fath
50、er to give up his place as a farm-hand, sell his horse and start an independent enterprise of his own. They rented ten acres of poor stony land and launched into chicken raising. One inexperienced in such matters can have no idea of the many and tragic things that can happen to a chicken. It is born
51、 out of an egg, lives for a few weeks as a tiny fluffy thing, then becomes naked, gets diseases, and dies. A few hens, and now and then a rooster, intended to serve Gods mysterious ends, struggle through to maturity. The hens lay eggs out of which come other chickens and the awful cycle is thus made
52、 complete. It is all unbelievably complex. Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms. One hopes for so much from a chicken and is so awfully disappointed. Small chickens, look so bright and in fact so awfully stupid. They are so much like people they mix one up in ones judgments of li
53、fe. If disease does not kill them they wait until your expectations are thoroughly aroused and then walk under the wheels of a carriage. In later life I have seen how a literature has been built up on the subject of fortunes to be made out of the raising of chickens. It is intended to be read by the
54、 gods who have just eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It is a hopeful literature and declares that much may be done by simple ambitious people who own a few hens. Do not be misguided by it. It was not written for you. Go hunt for gold on the frozen hills of Alaska, put your faith
55、in the honesty of a politician, believe if you will that good will defeat evil, but do not read and believe the literature that is written concerning the hen. For ten years my father and mother struggled to make our chicken farm pay and then they gave up that struggle and began another. They moved i
56、nto the town of Bidwell, Ohio and began the restaurant business, with the tiny hope of looking for a new place from which to start on our upward journey through life.61. Which of the following is the right order of what happened?a. Father got married to Mother, a school teacher.b. Father quitted wor
57、king at Butterworths.c. My parents launched a business in Bidwell. d. Father socialized in town on Saturday eveningse. My parents started their job of chicken farming.A. d-a-b-e-cB. d-a-c-b-eC. d-b-a-e-cD. d-b-a-c-e62. By saying “Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms”, the author
58、means that chicken farming _.A. is so complex that only philosophers can comprehend itB. gives you a philosophical insight into lifeC. exposes you to a complete circle of lifeD. allows you the time to judge the life 63. In the authors opinion, the literature about chicken raising _.A. is full of hop
59、e and positive energyB. proves the victory of good over evil C. persuades you to believe in politiciansD. tends to be blindly optimistic about its rewards64. Whats the authors attitude towards parents dream of rise to success?A. approvingB. optimistic C. skepticalD. indifferentD A four-year-old girl
60、 sees three biscuits divided between a stuffed crocodile and a teddy bear. The crocodile gets two; the bear one. “Is that fair?” asks the experimenter. The girl judges that it is not. “How about now?” asks the experimenter, breaking the bears single biscuit in half. The girl cheers up: “Oh yes, now
61、its fair. They both have two.” Strangely, children feel very strongly about fairness, even when they hardly understand it.Adults care about fairness too - but how much? One way to find out is by using the ultimatum (最后通牒) game, created by economist Werner Guth. Jack is given a pile of money and prop
62、oses how it should be divided with Jill. Jill can accept Jacks “ultimatum”, otherwise the deal is off, and neither gets anything.Suppose Jack and Jill dont care about fairness, just about accumulating cash. Then Jack can offer Jill as little as he likes and Jill will still accept. After all, a littl
63、e money is more than no money. But imagine, instead, that Jack and Jill both care only about fairness and that the fairest outcome is equality. Then Jack would offer Jill half the money; and Jill wouldnt accept otherwise.What happens when we ask people to play this game for real? It turns out that p
64、eople value fairness a lot. Anyone offered less than 20-30% of the money is likely to reject it. Receiving an unfair offers makes us feel sick. Happily, most offers are pretty equitable; indeed, by far the most common is a 50-50 split.But children, and adults, also care about a very different sort o
65、f (un)fairness, namely cheating. Think how many games of snakes and ladders have ended in arguments when one child “accidentally” miscounts her moves and another child objects. But this sense of fairness isnt about equality of outcome: games inevitably have winners and losers. Here, fairness is abou
66、t playing by the rules.Both fairness-as-equality and fairness-as-no-cheating matter. Which is more important: equality or no-cheating? I think the answer is neither. The national lottery(彩票), like other lotteries, certainly doesnt make the world more equal: a few people get rich and most people get
67、nothing. Nevertheless, we hope, it is fair - but what does this mean? The fairness-as-no-cheating viewpoint has a ready answer: a lottery is fair if it is conducted according to the “rules”. But which rules? None of us has the slightest idea, I suspect. Suppose that buried in the small print at lott
68、ery HQ is a rule that forbids people with a particular surname (lets say, Moriarty). So a Ms Moriarty could buy a ticket each week for years without any chance of success.How would she react if she found out? Surely with anger: how dare the organisers let her play, week after week, without mentionin
69、g that she couldnt possibly win! Shed reasonably feel unfairly treated because _.To protest(抗议) against unfairness, then, is to make an accusation of bad faith. From this viewpoint, an equal split between the crocodile and the bear seems fair because (normally, at least), it is the only split they w
70、ould both agree to. But were the girl to learn that the crocodile doesnt like biscuits or that the bear isnt hungry, I suspect shed think it perfectly fair for one toy to take the whole. Inequality of biscuits (or anything else) isnt necessarily unfair, if both parties are happy. And the unfairness
71、of cheating comes from the same source: wed never accept that someone else can unilaterally(单方面地) violate agreements that we have all signed up to.So perhaps the four-year-olds intuitions(直觉) about fairness is the beginnings of an understanding of negotiation. With a sense of fairness, people will h
72、ave to make us acceptable offers (or well reject their ultimatums) and stick by the (reasonable) rules, or well be on the warpath. So a sense of fairness is crucial to effective negotiation; and negotiation, over toys, treats etc, is part of life.65. It can be inferred that in the ultimatum game, _.
73、A. Jack keeps back all the money B. Jill can negotiate fair division with JackC. Jack has the final say in the division of moneyD. Jill has no choice but to accept any amount of money66.From Paragraph 2 to 4, we can conclude _.A. people will sacrifice money to avoid unfairnessB. fairness means as mu
74、ch to adults as to childrenC. something is better than nothing after allD. a 30-70 split is acceptable to the majority67. Which of the following does fairness-as-no-cheating apply to?A. divisions of houseworkB. favoritism between children C. banned drugs in sportD. schooling opportunities68. Which o
75、f the following best fits in the blank in Paragraph 7?A. the lottery didnt follow the rulesB. she was cheated out of the moneyC. the lottery wasnt equal at allD. she would never have agreed to those rules69. The chief factor in preventing unfairness is to _.A. observe agreements B. establish rulesC.
76、 strengthen moralityD. understand negotiation 70. The main purpose of the passage is to _A. declare the importance of fairnessB. suggest how to achieve fairnessC. present different attitudes to fairnessD. explain why we love fairness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

An artist named Johanna Basford pretty much owns two slots of the top seven books on Amazon, next to household names like Erik Larson and Dr. Phil. But Basford
78、s books arent novels - theyre collections of black-and-white drawings. The artist, who graduated from design school in 2005 and is based in Scotland, has turned her lovely ink drawings into coloring books “for grownups.” And theyre wildly popular, selling millions of copies.What is it about these bo
79、oks that has made them so popular with adults? Basford told me that when she first suggested to publishers the idea of a grownup coloring book four years ago, “colouring for adults wasnt the trend it is now. You can imagine how quiet they went after I suggested it.”But the book she ended up drawing
80、has become a phenomenon: 2013s Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book is currently #2 on Amazons Top 100 and has sold 1.4 million copies. The followup, Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest & Coloring Book, is #6 right now. Why is coloring suddenly a craze amongst grownups?Basford pointed
81、to some reasons - first, that coloring books are a way for adults who dont normally draw or paint to be creative. “A blank sheet of paper can be discouraging, but a colouring book acts as a bit of a buffer(缓冲) in this situation,” she says.Second, coloring books dont require anywhere near as much log
82、ical thought as, say, drawing a portrait. There are psychological benefits, too:“Ive heard from so many people ranging from lawyers, financial advisers, business owners and busy mums, all say the same thing: that colouring helps them relax. Then therere people who are recovering from illness or deal
83、ing with a difficult time in their lives, they too find the calming effects of colouring is beneficial to them.”Whats so striking about Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest is that theyve managed to stay at the top of Amazons best seller list as physical books, alongside those that can be instantly do
84、wnloaded and read. Basford hears that too: She points out that her books are an activity that can be done without the help of your wifi router. “Its a chance to unplug, look away from the screens and do something fun,” she says. Maybe Basford has plugged into a vast and unacknowledged desire to real

The government should strengthen supervision and impose severe punishment for such behaviors. Besides, its v
96、ital to educate individuals about the importance of preserving historic sites and to encourage them to behave themselves wherever they travel. In a word, it calls for joint efforts from the government and ordinary people to maintain and establish a good reputation of civilization. 听力原文：Text 1M: How

Text 10As a young mental doctor in a psychological clinic, I was asked to see Ross, a 20-year-old woman who was transferred to us from another clinic. It was an unusual case where no information about this new patient was received before our
108、first appointment. I have to figure out what her problems were from my own judgement.When we met, I saw her as an unhappy, misunderstood woman who hadnt been listened to in her earlier treatment. Her job and family life were in trouble. I tried to listen to her and to my joy, she responded so positi
109、vely to being heard. I thought we had a good start.Later, her medical reports arrived and to my great surprise, in the record, her mental problem was very serious and her previous doctors regarded her case as being hopeless.I decided to ignore those reports and never treated her as if she had a hope
110、less situation. Things improved greatly. Listening to my suggestions, Ross found a new job and lived away from her troubled family. One day she even told me that she met a lovely guy. The man later became her husband after two years. Finally when we finished the treatment, Ross sent me a note that said, “Thank you for trusting me well.”
