What can we learn about Pulitzer Prizes?A. They have various kinds of awards.B. They are given more than once in a year.C. They not only pay attention to literary works.D. They are given for various types of literary works.23. What is the common point between Pulitzer Prizes and Spokane Prize?A. They both need entry fee.B. They both support the online submission.C. Their entries both have certain word limit.D. Their entries both have already been published.BAmerican and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don't say each words separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?”. However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English.Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you " phone them up". In America, you "give them a call". When you are saying goodbye in England you might say "Cheerio!" In America you might say " See you later. "There 're also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question. They say "Do you have a storybook?" But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say " Have you a storybook?"All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways.This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French, but their French is very different from the French of France.24. What does the author think of the differences between American and British English?A. American and British English are the same language.B. American and British English are quite different.C. Although American English came from the British English, there are still some important differences.D. There are slight differences between American and British English.25. What does the underlined word " separate" in Paragraph 2mean?A. Together. B. One by one.C. In common. D. In different ways.26. What does the underlined sentence "The same thing is true of some British words in America." mean?A. The words of American and British English are the same.B. The spelling of American and British English is the same.C. Although they don't sound the same, the words are the same.D. Some British English words are not used in American English.27. How many ways are talked about the differences between American and British English in the passage?A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.CWe love the sea. We swim into it, live near it, build beside it, and even imagine about living under the sea.But we're terrified of it, too. For much of our history, we have turned to " hard engineering" to control the marine environment and manage its influence on us.We build dams, sea walls and channels. But all these efforts seem to fail. The sea has a habit of taking back its own. And we suffer.Johnston, a marine ecologist, is advocating for “blue engineering” --- the marine version of the green “engineering” movement on land that has seen nations like Singapore building the walls and roofs of the concrete jungle with plant life.We are expanding further into the marine environment.This practice does harm to marine ecosystems. We’re loving the sea to death, but we've not been thinking about design of structures (建筑物) with respect to ecology. Some coastal structures create shade , which reduces the growth of seaweed. Bright lights at night confuse species such as turtles. That's why “blue engineering” comes in.Throughout the world people are starting to turn things around.Researchers with the World Harbour Project are creating tiles (瓦片) similar to the natural structures found on rocky shores with 3-D printing technology. These make more attractive homes for marine creatures. Researchers are also actively seeding these tiles with local seaweed and creatures such as the Sydney rock oyster, which is particularly good at improving water quality. Twelve harbors around the world are taking part in this marine tile experiment, each working with their own unique marine life.It's a far cry from the days when huge numbers of old tyres were thrown into the sea to build the “artificial reef” (礁)". Those clumsy early attempts are now costing millions to remove, showing just how far we have yet to go in understanding how best to co-habit with the underwater world28. What do we know about “hard engineering” ?A. It has improved the sea environment.B. It can control the influence of sea.C. It has failed to achieve its purpose.It makes living under the sea impossible.29. Paragraph 3 is mainly about the__________________ to introduce the project of "blue engineering" .A. drawbacks B. reasons C. procedures D. measures30. Which of the following is a form of "blue engineering" ?A. Constructing buildings with plant life.B. Expanding into marine environments.C. Creating an artificial reef with old tyres.D. Building structures benefiting sea creatures.31. What is the writer's feeling towards the present situation of the marine environment?A. Relieved. B. Doubtful. C. Satisfied. D. DisappointedDAs graduation draws near, those who haven't landed a job yet may be desperate(不顾一切的) to find one. Perhaps some of the job offers they have received are below their skill and experience levels. Is it better to take these offers or turn them down and remain unemployed? Recently, David Pedulla, a University of Texas sociologist, conducted a study about how taking a job below your skill level could affect your future employment.In the study, Pedulla developed resumes (简历)for imaginary job applicants. The job seekers he created had a few things in common. They had a college degree, worked nearly two years at their first job, and about 4.5years at their second job. What differed was their third job in the most recent years. They either had a full-time job that matched their skills, a part-time job below their skill levels, or were unemployed.Then Pedulla submitted 2,420 resumes based on his imaginary job seekers, along with cover letters, to online ads for 1,210 real jobs. Each applicant had a real phone number that employers could contact if they were interested in talking with the applicant further.The callback rates varied widely based on how the imaginary job seekers had spent their last year. The applicants who had full-time jobs the previous year were called back 10.4 percent of the time. Those whose most recent year of employment was in a job below their skill levels were only called back about 5 percent. Male applicants unemployed for a year were called back 4.2 percent of the time, while the figure is 7.5 percent to unemployed females.However, Pedulla warned that the experiment only measured the initial interest of employers in his fictional(虚构的) job candidates, not whether the employers would hire them or what they would be paid based on their most recent job experiences.32. The purpose of the first paragraph is_____________________.A. to introduce the topic B. to present an argumentC. to shock the reader D. to describe the present situation in job seeking33. Which statement is NOT true about Pedulla's experiment?A. The applicants had some things in common at their first two jobs.B. The applicants' resumes and phone numbers are created by Pedulla.C. The applicants' most recent job experiences affected the callback rates.D. Unemployed female applicants got a higher callback rate than males.34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The applicants with a high callback rate would surely be hired.The applicants' most recent job experiences would decide their salaries.C. There are some limits about what lessons can be taken from the study.D. It is better to take a job offer below one's skill level than to reject it.35. In which section may the text appear in a newspaper？A. Career. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Education.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。How Not to Be AwkwardNot all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. 36. This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process. So, what can a person do to overcome this tendency to be awkward? Let's try to find answers to the question.Stay in shape and dress up well. Sometimes, awkwardness could be due to being overweight. When you are large in size ,you tend to get very self-conscious. So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every day. 37. If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980's film when actually it is 2017, there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself.Be optimistic. Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. 38. On the other hand, a smiling, happy and positive person is appreciated by everybody. So, smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers, say a cheerful “Hi!” and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely! Participate in team activities. This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others. So in order to change this situation, join groups. 39. _ Joining people for book reading as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity that you like such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!Develop your personality. Being a bookworm or an Internet addict will not get you anywhere. For self-improvement, take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life.Learn singing or try adventure sports. 40. .A. Learn how to end a conversation.B. Secondly, have appropriate clothes on.C. For instance, if you are a reading-lover, join a book club.D. If you look sad, nobody will actually like being with you.E. Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too.F. Many of us are shy and may even feel isolated from others.G. Awkwardness could arise because you don’t have anything in common to talk about.第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节　(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I quit my office job in 2012.
