Peter Whittle helps people get their time back. From behind the counter(柜台) of his repair shop, he brings to life1th-century pocket watches, old European clocks, and modern Rolexes.
Digital watches and cell phones may have replaced traditional timekeepers for many, but in the 20 years since he opened Whittle’s Watcn Works, the demand for his services has only grown. Open three days a week, Whittle’s shop takes in more than 1,000 watches a year, sometimes 10 in one day.
Sixty years ago, there were more than 50,000 independent watchmakers in America. These days, the number has dropped to fewer than 6,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“People say no one wears watches anymore,” Whittle said. “But at home, somewhere in a drawer, you might have your mother’s watch or your grandfather’s watch. And one day, you might find that you want to get it repaired.”
Whittle said he’s been busy since the day he opened. He doesn’t advertise, and seldom has an online presence, but people knock on the door even when the closed sign is up. During office hours he wears a long white coat that makes him look like a doctor, which he is, in a way. Whittle’s services can cost very little, or hundreds. Working on Rolexes, each with about 225 pieces inside, costs an average of $700.
Joseph Caprara, a watch collector, has been coming to Whittle’s for more than ten years. Of the dozens of timepieces he’s brought to Whittle, one of the most memorable was an inexpensive watch his mother wore. “What he’s really doing sometimes is restoring memories, Caprara said. “Sometimes a watch is worth a lot more to a person than what you’d think.”
Though the great increase of cell phones has led to fewer people wearing watches Jordan Ficklin, executive director of the American Watchmakers - Clockmakers Institute, sees hope for the industry in newer devices like Apples watches, which he says are bringing back that sense of a physical connection with a watch. And like traditional timepieces, the marketing around computerized watches often links the device to emotional experiences: a non-athlete training for a first marathon, a parent monitoring a child’s illness, people whose watches have become a basic part of their life.
7. What do we know about Whittle’s Watch Works?
A. It is going well. B. It opens five days a week.
C. It needs online advertising. D. It has fewer and fewer customers.
8. What does Whittle think of repairing watches?
A. It is demanding B. It is disappearing slowly.
C. It still has a market. D. It should charge higher than before.
9. What did Caprara say about watches?
A. They are a waste of money. B. They have gone out of fashion.
C. They are likely to rise in value. D. They keep old memories alive.
10. What can we learn about computerized watches?
A. They fail to sell well.
B. They will replace traditional watches.
C. They have a huge influence on cell phones.
D. They can also create emotional ties with customers.
【答案】7. A 8. C 9. D 10. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了虽然数字手表和手机可能已经取代了许多传统的计时器，但是Whittle开办的钟表工厂生意仍然很好，仍有很多人找他来修理手表，这是因为手表能让人们想起旧的记忆。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“but in the 20 years since he opened Whittle’s Watch Works, the demand for his services has only grown. (但在他开了Whittle’s Watch Works表店的20年里，对他服务的需求却在增长。)”可知，Whittle的钟表工厂生意很好，故选A。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But at home, somewhere in a drawer, you might have your mother’s watch or your grandfather’s watch. And one day, you might find that you want to get it repaired.(但是在家里，在抽屉里的某个地方，你可能有你母亲的手表或者你祖父的手表。有一天，你可能会发现你想修理它。)”可知，Whittle说，你可能有一天想修理你母亲或者你祖父的手表，由此可推知，Whittle认为修表还是有市场的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““What he’s really doing sometimes is restoring memories, Caprara said. “Sometimes a watch is worth a lot more to a person than what you’d think.”(“他有时真正做的是恢复记忆，”Caprara说。“有时候一块手表对一个人来说比你想象的要值钱得多”)”可知，Caprara说手表让人们能想起旧的记忆，即手表使旧的记忆保持鲜活。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“And like traditional timepieces, the marketing around computerized watches often links the device to emotional experiences: (与传统钟表一样，电脑手表的营销往往将设备与情感体验联系在一起)”可知，电脑手表也可以与顾客建立情感联系。故选D。

B. On the contrary, libraries are free, and so are many of their services like Wi-Fi, in addition to the endless supply of books.

【答案】DAECB
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲叙了在空余时间，美国人选择去图书馆打发时间，因为去图书馆是一项低消费的活动。
【详解】短文的开头是要先引出话题，目前的现象等，故D项“Nowadays, people are given a wide range of entertainment options. As a result, visits to the library may seem like an old-fashioned activity.（如今，人们有了广泛的娱乐选择。因此，去图书馆似乎是一种过时的活动。）”的话题抛出，说似乎去图书馆是一项过时的活动。
再到转折部分，根据A选项“The truth is a different story. According to a new poll, Americans visited the library more often than they did other activities in their free time.（事实是另一回事。根据一项新的民意调查，美国人在空闲时间访问图书馆的次数超过了其他活动。）”这里是说事实并非如此，接下来要引出详细的调查结果。
根据E选项“The poll surveyed 1025 adults throughout the United States who were asked how many times they participated in nine different pastimes, including visiting a library or attending a sporting event. Library visits came out on top as the favorite.（询问他们参与9种不同消遣活动的次数，其中包括去图书馆或参加体育活动。图书馆是最受欢迎的。）”讲述了人们去图书馆的调查结果，再次证明了文章开头。
接下来说明大家喜欢去图书馆的原因，故衔接到C选项“Although it is not the only reason, cost appears to play a part. Activities at the bottom of the list such as visiting theme parks and zoos are typically expensive.（虽然这不是唯一的原因，但成本似乎也起了一定作用。排在清单末尾的活动，比如参观主题公园和动物园，通常都很贵。）”
最后B选项“On the contrary, libraries are free, and so are many of their services like Wi-Fi, in addition to the endless supply of books.（相反，图书馆是免费的，除了无穷无尽的图书供应外，图书馆的许多服务如Wi-Fi也是免费的。）”进一步说明人们喜欢去图书馆的原因。故排序为DAECB。

【导语】本文是议论文。文章讲述的是人们忘记了节日的初衷，只关注自己在节日时得到了什么，而不是把节日当作一个付出的时机。
【32题详解】
考查时态。句意：当谈及到假日，人们总是忘记这是一个付出的时刻而不是一个收获的时刻。“when it comes to...”是常见的一种表达，意思是“当谈及到”，主语为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，故填comes。
【33题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，这里考查的是be interested in这个固定短语的用法，意为“对……感兴趣”。故填interested。
【34题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词tend，所以help应用非谓语形式，此处应用不定式做opportunity的后置定语。故填to help。
【35题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，我们该如何挑战节日文化来确保人们去重视这些付出的机会，就像人们重视期待圣诞袜里出现礼物一样呢?分析句子结构可知，这里有一个同级比较，as much as意为“和……一样多”，第一个as是副词，第二个as引导比较状语从句。故填as。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个值得思考的问题。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配be worth doing意为“值得做某事”。故填thinking。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。修饰动词give，所以需要用副词形式，selfless的副词形式是selflessly。故填selflessly。
【38题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。分析句子结构可知，本句是though 引导的让步状语从句，challenge做从句谓语，根据语义，判断使用被动语态，再根据主句用的是一般现在时，从句也用一般现在时。故填are challenged。
【39题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。根据句子结构可知，空处引导的是宾语从句，从句中for后面缺宾语，指代事物，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词day，所以空处应填形容词修饰名词，rain的形容词形式是rainy，此处的rainy day，意思为“有困难的日子”。故填rainy。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：当我们给予那些有需求的人帮助，我们就对他们以及我们的生活都产生积极的影响。根据句意，此处是固定短语make a difference to，意思为“对……产生影响”，故填to。

Life in the future will be different from the life today. Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast And most of them will live longer than people now.

And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive.

C
Peter Whittle helps people get their time back. From behind the counter(柜台) of his repair shop, he brings to life1th-century pocket watches, old European clocks, and modern Rolexes.
Digital watches and cell phones may have replaced traditional timekeepers for many, but in the 20 years since he opened Whittle’s Watcn Works, the demand for his services has only grown. Open three days a week, Whittle’s shop takes in more than 1,000 watches a year, sometimes 10 in one day.
Sixty years ago, there were more than 50,000 independent watchmakers in America. These days, the number has dropped to fewer than 6,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“People say no one wears watches anymore,” Whittle said. “But at home, somewhere in a drawer, you might have your mother’s watch or your grandfather’s watch. And one day, you might find that you want to get it repaired.”
Whittle said he’s been busy since the day he opened. He doesn’t advertise, and seldom has an online presence, but people knock on the door even when the closed sign is up. During office hours he wears a long white coat that makes him look like a doctor, which he is, in a way. Whittle’s services can cost very little, or hundreds. Working on Rolexes, each with about 225 pieces inside, costs an average of $700.
Joseph Caprara, a watch collector, has been coming to Whittle’s for more than ten years. Of the dozens of timepieces he’s brought to Whittle, one of the most memorable was an inexpensive watch his mother wore. “What he’s really doing sometimes is restoring memories, Caprara said. “Sometimes a watch is worth a lot more to a person than what you’d think.”
Though the great increase of cell phones has led to fewer people wearing watches Jordan Ficklin, executive director of the American Watchmakers - Clockmakers Institute, sees hope for the industry in newer devices like Apples watches, which he says are bringing back that sense of a physical connection with a watch. And like traditional timepieces, the marketing around computerized watches often links the device to emotional experiences: a non-athlete training for a first marathon, a parent monitoring a child’s illness, people whose watches have become a basic part of their life.
7. What do we know about Whittle’s Watch Works?
A. It is going well. B. It opens five days a week.
C. It needs online advertising. D. It has fewer and fewer customers.
8. What does Whittle think of repairing watches?
A. It is demanding B. It is disappearing slowly.
C. It still has a market. D. It should charge higher than before.
9. What did Caprara say about watches?
A. They are a waste of money. B. They have gone out of fashion.
C. They are likely to rise in value. D. They keep old memories alive.
10. What can we learn about computerized watches?
A. They fail to sell well.
B. They will replace traditional watches.
C. They have a huge influence on cell phones.
D. They can also create emotional ties with customers.
【答案】7. A 8. C 9. D 10. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了虽然数字手表和手机可能已经取代了许多传统的计时器，但是Whittle开办的钟表工厂生意仍然很好，仍有很多人找他来修理手表，这是因为手表能让人们想起旧的记忆。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“but in the 20 years since he opened Whittle’s Watch Works, the demand for his services has only grown. (但在他开了Whittle’s Watch Works表店的20年里，对他服务的需求却在增长。)”可知，Whittle的钟表工厂生意很好，故选A。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But at home, somewhere in a drawer, you might have your mother’s watch or your grandfather’s watch. And one day, you might find that you want to get it repaired.(但是在家里，在抽屉里的某个地方，你可能有你母亲的手表或者你祖父的手表。有一天，你可能会发现你想修理它。)”可知，Whittle说，你可能有一天想修理你母亲或者你祖父的手表，由此可推知，Whittle认为修表还是有市场的。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““What he’s really doing sometimes is restoring memories, Caprara said. “Sometimes a watch is worth a lot more to a person than what you’d think.”(“他有时真正做的是恢复记忆，”Caprara说。“有时候一块手表对一个人来说比你想象的要值钱得多”)”可知，Caprara说手表让人们能想起旧的记忆，即手表使旧的记忆保持鲜活。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“And like traditional timepieces, the marketing around computerized watches often links the device to emotional experiences: (与传统钟表一样，电脑手表的营销往往将设备与情感体验联系在一起)”可知，电脑手表也可以与顾客建立情感联系。故选D。
第二节 语句排序(共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
11. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D 和 E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. The truth is a different story. According to a new poll, Americans visited the library more often than they did other activities in their free time.
B. On the contrary, libraries are free, and so are many of their services like Wi-Fi, in addition to the endless supply of books.
C. Although it is not the only reason, cost appears to play a part. Activities at the bottom of the list such as visiting theme parks and zoos are typically expensive.
D. Nowadays, people are given a wide range of entertainment options. As a result, visits to the library may seem like an old-fashioned activity.
E. The poll surveyed 1025 adults throughout the United States who were asked how many times they participated in nine different pastimes, including visiting a library or attending a sporting event. Library visits came out on top as the favorite.
【答案】DAECB
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲叙了在空余时间，美国人选择去图书馆打发时间，因为去图书馆是一项低消费的活动。
【详解】短文的开头是要先引出话题，目前的现象等，故D项“Nowadays, people are given a wide range of entertainment options. As a result, visits to the library may seem like an old-fashioned activity.（如今，人们有了广泛的娱乐选择。因此，去图书馆似乎是一种过时的活动。）”的话题抛出，说似乎去图书馆是一项过时的活动。
再到转折部分，根据A选项“The truth is a different story. According to a new poll, Americans visited the library more often than they did other activities in their free time.（事实是另一回事。根据一项新的民意调查，美国人在空闲时间访问图书馆的次数超过了其他活动。）”这里是说事实并非如此，接下来要引出详细的调查结果。
根据E选项“The poll surveyed 1025 adults throughout the United States who were asked how many times they participated in nine different pastimes, including visiting a library or attending a sporting event. Library visits came out on top as the favorite.（询问他们参与9种不同消遣活动的次数，其中包括去图书馆或参加体育活动。图书馆是最受欢迎的。）”讲述了人们去图书馆的调查结果，再次证明了文章开头。
接下来说明大家喜欢去图书馆的原因，故衔接到C选项“Although it is not the only reason, cost appears to play a part. Activities at the bottom of the list such as visiting theme parks and zoos are typically expensive.（虽然这不是唯一的原因，但成本似乎也起了一定作用。排在清单末尾的活动，比如参观主题公园和动物园，通常都很贵。）”
最后B选项“On the contrary, libraries are free, and so are many of their services like Wi-Fi, in addition to the endless supply of books.（相反，图书馆是免费的，除了无穷无尽的图书供应外，图书馆的许多服务如Wi-Fi也是免费的。）”进一步说明人们喜欢去图书馆的原因。故排序为DAECB。

33. interested
34. to help
35. as 36. thinking
37. selflessly
38. are challenged
39. what 40. rainy
41. to
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章讲述的是人们忘记了节日的初衷，只关注自己在节日时得到了什么，而不是把节日当作一个付出的时机。
【32题详解】
考查时态。句意：当谈及到假日，人们总是忘记这是一个付出的时刻而不是一个收获的时刻。“when it comes to...”是常见的一种表达，意思是“当谈及到”，主语为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，故填comes。
【33题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，这里考查的是be interested in这个固定短语的用法，意为“对……感兴趣”。故填interested。
【34题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词tend，所以help应用非谓语形式，此处应用不定式做opportunity的后置定语。故填to help。
【35题详解】
考查连词。句意：因此，我们该如何挑战节日文化来确保人们去重视这些付出的机会，就像人们重视期待圣诞袜里出现礼物一样呢?分析句子结构可知，这里有一个同级比较，as much as意为“和……一样多”，第一个as是副词，第二个as引导比较状语从句。故填as。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个值得思考的问题。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配be worth doing意为“值得做某事”。故填thinking。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。修饰动词give，所以需要用副词形式，selfless的副词形式是selflessly。故填selflessly。
【38题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。分析句子结构可知，本句是though 引导的让步状语从句，challenge做从句谓语，根据语义，判断使用被动语态，再根据主句用的是一般现在时，从句也用一般现在时。故填are challenged。
【39题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。根据句子结构可知，空处引导的是宾语从句，从句中for后面缺宾语，指代事物，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：不管我们是否有多余的钱，把我们辛辛苦苦挣来的东西送给别人并不总是那么容易，尤其是当我们设定了财务目标——为退休、度假或不时之需而储蓄。即使有这么多不愿意的理由，付出的好处还是超过了所有这些。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词day，所以空处应填形容词修饰名词，rain的形容词形式是rainy，此处的rainy day，意思为“有困难的日子”。故填rainy。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：当我们给予那些有需求的人帮助，我们就对他们以及我们的生活都产生积极的影响。根据句意，此处是固定短语make a difference to，意思为“对……产生影响”，故填to。

【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和定语从句。drop out of退学；high school高中；have trouble (in) doing sth.做某事很困难。句中先行词为teenagers，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词who或that引导。陈述客观事实。用一般现在时。根据句意，故翻译为Teenagers who drop out of high school have trouble finding jobs.

64. 他不想去的原因归结起来就是他没有足够的钱。(汉译英)
【答案】The reason why he didn’t want to go was that he didn’t have enough money.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句，表语从句和时态。“……的原因是……”用固定句型The reason why...is/was that...，why引导的是定语从句，that引导的是表语从句，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时；“不想去”是he didn’t want to go，“他没有足够的钱”翻译为he didn’t have enough money，因此整句话翻译为“The reason why he didn’t want to go was that he didn’t have enough money”。故答案为The reason why he didn’t want to go was that he didn’t have enough money.

How is everything going? I’m honored and happy, hearing you are a fan of traditional Chinese Art and Culture. Here comes a piece of good news appealing to you. The Middle School Art Festival hosted by our school is drawing near.
The festival is to carry forward traditional Chinese culture and promote cultural exchange. And it provides audience with a stage where they can sample different forms of traditional Chinese and foreign culture while putting on performance. Next Friday, on the 30th of June, the festival will be held in the teaching building. All of us students will take part in it. I sincerely hope that you can join us in our performance. By the way, it will be nicer of you to show us something from your country, since it will satisfy our curiosity about Britain.
All of us will feel graced with the presence of you.
