W:No.She was fired last week.She is looking for a new job on the Internet.
Text 3

M:Yes.But Lily did much better.You know she is always the best in math studies.
W:I am with you.But this time John got the highest score.
Text 4

M:What are you going to do there?
W:I’m going there to take part in a celebration of history at National History Day.
Text 5

W:I’d love to.
M:OK,let’s meet at the bus stop and take the No.1 bus to go there.

Text 7
W:Hello,Mr Black.
M:Hello,Anna.Could you please call the director and set up a meeting for Monday afternoon?

W:Sure.I’ll call his secretary and let you know the result right away.
M:That’s good.
Text 8
M:What’s the matter,honey?

M:Rob and Steve were so busy holding a party last night that they probably didn’t hear the fighting.Mrs Anderson has a heart of gold.Unfortunately,she’s a little deaf.Actually,she’s also a problem.Her niece phones every morning at 6:30.She always screams into the phone,and it wakes me up.
W:You need to look for a new place to live in.
M:Give up my book? I’m writing another book about a guy who lives in an apartment building with some crazy people.I hope it’ll be a big Hollywood movie someday.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)

A good book is indeed the best friend of a person.The same goes for highprofile CEOs of world recognized companies as well.Let’s have a look at the favorite books of some of the worldfamous CEOs.
Apple CEO—Tim Cook,Competing against Time by George Stalk Jr.and Thomas M.Hout
This book is based on 10 years of valuable research done by the authors.It talks about how new concepts of managing time in new product development, production and sales provide companies with the advantages to succeed in this highly competitive world.
Microsoft CEO(Former)—Bill Gates The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger
A few themes explored in the novel are rebellion(叛逆), anxiety and confusion.It tells that young people are a little confused, but can be smart about things and see things that adults don’t really see.Gates said, “I didn’t actually read The Catcher in the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I’ve said that’s my favorite book.”
Oracle CEO—Larry Ellison,Napoleon by Vincent Cronin
This book is considered by far the best biography ever written on Napoleon Bonaparte.Ellison said, “It’s interesting to read about him for a couple of reasons:to see what an ordinary man can do with his life and to see how history can distort(歪曲)the truth entirely.”
OWN CEO—Oprah Winfrey,To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
This book talks about how a little girl observes the people around her.Winfrey said, “I read it in eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to recommend the book to other kids.So it makes sense to me that now I have a book club, because I have been doing that probably since I read this book.”

Ireland has had a very difficult history.The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland.For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English.Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland.The result is that today there are two “Irelands”.Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom.The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger.This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada.As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers.Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warmhearted and friendly.Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”.Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing.Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.

In 1996, John Jones made an unusual discovery.He had just enlarged a piece of paper money for a friend—a Confederate bank note, money issued (发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War.When he was face to face with the picture, he couldn’t believe his eyes:slaves happily picking cotton in their master’s fields.
Jones grew up in South Carolina.He had heard painful stories of slavery from his greatgrandmother.The picture on the money did not match the history of African American slaves that he’d heard all his life.“I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.
Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy.He started doing research.
Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life.During two years’ search, Jones found more than 120 different bills.He discovered that the bills had several things in common.They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming.Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work.None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.
Jones wanted to share what he had learned.“I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said.He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money.After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes (场景).He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared.“The Color of Money”—an exhibit (展览) of his work—has toured the country.
Jones’ paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago.He likes to repeat the saying “The story is on the money.” In this case, the saying happens to be true.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了一名美国艺术家展出80余幅绘画作品让人们了解美国南部奴隶的真实生活状况。

A.Angry. B.Painful.
C.Excited. D.Surprised.

B.He wanted to learn about American history through it.
C.It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind.
D.His greatgrandmother told him some unusual stories about it.
30.What did Jones find?
A.About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War.
B.The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills.
C.Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.
D.Slaves worked long hours on farms.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Could pursuing meaning be the path to true happiness? There are some differences between a happy life and a meaningful life and the two are closely related.When we aim for a life of meaningful pursuit,we are likely to feel more lasting happiness and life satisfaction—even if there is some sadness,or stress along the way.People find meaning in life through “three pillars (支柱)” of meaning.
When we are understood and recognized by friends,family members,partners,colleagues,and even strangers,we feel we belong to a community.Results from some studies indicate that many people count their relationships as the most meaningful part of their lives,even when those relationships are difficult.
When we have longterm goals in life that reflect our values and serve the greater good,we tend to give our activities more meaning.Researcher Adam Grant has found that professions focused on helping others—teachers,surgeons,and therapists—all tend to be rated as more meaningful.Having purpose has also been tied to many positive outcomes,including more dedication to the jobs,increased learning and better health.
When it comes to finding meaning,storytelling helps to try to pull particularly relevant experiences in our lives into a story that defines our identity.People who describe their lives as meaningful tend to have stories where they overcame something negative,and to stress growth and help from others.Laura Kray and colleagues found that people’s considering paths not taken in life and the consequences of those choices filled experiences with more meaning.
Based on these factors,some practices could encourage meaning in your own life.For example,you may involve yourself in personal interactions and offer help to others when they need it to increase your sense of belonging.You may also want to redefine the tasks of your job to fit your motives,strengths,and enthusiasm.Or,if you feel stuck,you may want to spend time creating a storyline.By developing our relationships and serving others,we bring more meaning to our lives.
【文章大意】 Paragraph 1:快乐的生活和有意义的生活有一些不同,但又紧密联系。当我们追求有意义的生活时,我们可能会获得更持久的幸福和生活满足感。人们可以通过“三大支柱”来发现生活的意义。
Paragraph 2:当我们被朋友、家人、伴侣、同事甚至陌生人理解和认可时,我们就会觉得自己属于一个群体。研究发现,很多人将他们的关系看作他们生活中最有意义的部分。
Paragraph 3:当我们的生活中有反映我们的价值观和服务于更大的利益的长期目标时,我们往往会赋予我们的活动更多的意义。研究人员发现,专注于帮助他人的职业往往都被认为更有意义。此外,有意义也与许多积极的结果有关。
Paragraph 4:讲故事有助于把我们生活中特别相关的经历融入一个故事中,这个故事定义了我们的身份。那些将自己的生活描述为有意义的人往往会讲述这样的故事:他们克服了一些消极的事情,他们强调成长和从他人那里得到的帮助。
Paragraph 5:基于这三个要素,我们可以做一些事情为自己的生活增添更丰富的意义。
