 I moved to the United States as a teenager. The adjustment to a new place was difficult. But there was major stress in my life at that time: I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, there was another universal language I loved to learn as a child: art.

Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career. Since my dad always said "Think about the future", I did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college. But, to my surprise, it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal arts schools.

I was admitted into industrial design. It's basically to design products and services. I could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving. It was no easy task to do the course including metalworking, woodworking and model making. In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month, which led me to a question："Wow! Do I really want to do this? "But I finally survived the course.

Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design, a famous architecture and interior design company. I have experience in exhibit design, product design and website design, apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.

Throughout my career，I've picked up different things along the way. The best way to learn in my opinion is through working, therefore, get as many projects as you can. Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.

 While many countries love their tea, UK citizens are particularly proud of being “tea people”. The average UK citizen consumes nearly 2 kilograms of tea each year.

Tea only made its way to England in large quantities in the first years of the 17th century. Tea from China and a few other Asian countries was being sold more widely in England at that time. Then tea was getting more and more popular among different social classes.

There are many varieties of tea. Black tea mixtures are still the most common type drunk in the UK. Black tea is dark in colour, because the leaves have been allowed to oxidize (氧化) before drying. This is why we usually serve it with milk, although it is not uncommon to drink it black or with lemon. You may still find tea made with loose tea leaves, served up in a pot, and poured into the best china cups with saucers (茶托) for visitors.

Tea is still a large part of daily life in the UK today, but it seems to be on the decrease. The amount of tea sold in the UK fell by more than 10% in the five years leading up to 2002, and has been dropping ever since. Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone, and most restaurants report selling more than twice as many cups of coffee as they do tea. More than ￡1 billion was spent on coffee in high street stores in 2013, more than twice what was spent on tea bags.

Still, what goes around comes around; it’s sure to become fashionable again.

28．Which of the following is true according to the first three paragraphs?

A．Tea made its way to England in the early years of the 16th century.

B．The UK usually serves black tea with lemon.

C．Tea from China was being sold more widely in England now.

D．UK citizens take pride in being “tea people”.

29．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A．Tea sales fell by 6% in 2014 alone.

B．Since 2002, the sales of tea has been on the decrease.

C．In 2013, the money spent on tea was ￡3 billion.

D．Most restaurant like selling tea than coffee.

30．What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?

A．It can never succeed again B．The tea can become popular again.

C．Coffee is more popular than tea D．The tea is becoming less popular.

31．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To introduce tea in the UK. B．To show the author’s preference for tea.

C．To introduce the functions of tea. D．To compare tea in China and UK.

  Thanks to technology, ride-hailing(打车) is as easy as opening an app on your phone. According to Didi, China’s top ride-hailing app, 81.3 percent of passengers preferred using an online service last year. But just like many other modern high-tech developments, convenience comes with concerns.

Didi Chuxing announced a trial re-launch of its carpool(拼车) service, Didi Hitch(滴滴顺风车), in seven cities including Harbin, Taiyuan and Beijing from Nov 20. More than a year ago, Didi suspended the service following the murders of two separate female passengers in May and August, respectively.

The re-launch comes with a range of new safety features. One of the new measures proved controversial. It carried out an 8 pm curfew(宵禁) on women, but allowed men to enjoy the service till 11 pm.

Many users complained on social media that the policy was sexist. According to CNN, the topic “#Women Can’tTakeDidiAfter8PM#” was trending on weibo, with one post calling it “negative marketing and gender- biased(性别歧视的)”. It had gained more than70,000 likes as of Nov 11.

After the strong public reaction, Didi Chuxing changed its decision. Both men and women will be able to use Didi Hitch between 5 am and 8 pm.

According to CNN, Didi Hitch had logged more than a billion total rides before its suspension, but it remains to be seen if the company can win back users’ trust.

Didi is not the only ride-sharing app to arouse public safety concerns, nor is it the only one to attempt special protections for women. The globally popular car-hailing services Uber and Lyft now require strict background checks and emergency SMS services that will automatically send a car’s description, license number, and current location to police, CBS news reported.

According to CNBC, one Boston-based ride-hailing service only hires women to drive and will only accept women or children under 13 as passengers. Despite all the safety features, riders should check their drivers’ number plates, ensure they are being taken on the correct route, and inform friends of travel plans.

32．What are the first six paragraphs mainly about?

A．Safety tips for using Didi Hitch. B．Public safety concerns over Didi Hitch.

C．The advantages of Didi Hitch’s new services. D．The recent developments of Didi Hitch.

33．The underlined word “suspended” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A．improved on something B．worried about something

C．stopped something for a time D．took the responsibility for something

34．Why did Didi Chuxing change its Hitch curfews?

A．Because of its recent online risk analysis.

B．Because of the public’s negative reaction.

C．For the convenience of different users.

D．For the sake of safety problems of women.

35．The passage is probably taken from________.

A．an advertisement B．a textbook

C．a newspaper D．a public speech

   The sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have for getting rid of any source of stress in your life 36． We can't over-estimate the importance of the sense of humor too much. In fact, making work fun helps employees perform best and provide quality work.

37． Telling jokes and stories and using team-building games in companies make people have more fun at work. Some companies even have talent shows or hold dance or sports competitions. It just gives employees a break in the day and a chance to laugh at themselves.

38． Humor should be about laughing with rather than laughing at others. We all have probably heard jokes that seemed to bother or hurt others. For example, jokes making fun of employees for their weight, race, religion, etc. are not only harmful to the person, but also can create an unfriendly working environment.

Even if the jokes were intended to be humorous, they may not be received that way. I have even heard speakers make slight dirty jokes on the audience, thinking they would be seen as cool. In fact the audience thought the speakers had no taste.39． In another case, I heard about a manager who was out partying with co-workers and kidding about how the boss liked certain people more than others. Such jokes actually had damaging effects on people in the company.

Humor, if proper, can brighten up the workplace and reduce some of the stress we are all experiencing. 40．

A．And they lost people's respect as a result.

B．Of course, it is important to use proper humor at work.

C．Everyone agreed that their work needed to be more fun.

D．There are plenty of ways to bring humor into the workplace.

E. So take a moment to laugh and help us all to feel happier at work.

F. In addition, laughter can brighten up the feelings of everyone around.

G The most obvious way to make your job fun is to learn to find some humor.

续写的词数应为150左右。

A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a little boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.

Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." "The boy was astounded.  "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated.

Of course, Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.

"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that” Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?"

"Oh yes, I'd love that."

After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.

Paragraph1:

He ran up the steps. _____________________________________________________________________
