Growing up, I was often the first Jewish person my classmates had ever met. I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my grade—sometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart.
Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I fretted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”.
The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.
Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.
My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.
My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.
24．What does the underlined word “fretted” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Noticed. B．Disagreed. C．Worried. D．Expected.
25．What really annoyed the author during the local festival?
A．Being a trick target. B．Singing holiday songs.
C．Being culturally different. D．Celebrating others’ festival.
26．How did the author’s classmates react to Mom’s coming?
A．They welcomed it warmly. B．They gave away her treats.
C．They showed off themselves. D．They expressed sympathy for her.
27．Which of the following best states what Mom did at school?
A．She protected her child from being hurt.
B．She encouraged cross-cultural understanding.
C．She made Hanukkah a school-celebrated festival.
D．She saved the Jewish tradition from being changed.
C
A broken heart, a sad ending to a love affair—that’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life, needed, at least one time, to become more fully adult. But no question, the experience can be damaging.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy and the desire to connect with others—both avenues through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany shows the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy, compassion, and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from being absorbed in yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously raised their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—inspires healing and growth beyond it. In short, acknowledging your full experience arouses hope. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that embracing discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, generates motivation to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
28．What is the function of paragraph 1?
A．Telling a sad experience. B．Expressing the insight into life.
C．Leading in the topic. D．Arousing readers’ sympathy.
29．What does the underlined word “avenues” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Relations. B．Pathways. C．Stations. D．Struggles.
30．What effect does beautiful but sad music have on a heartbroken male listener?
A．Boosting his state of mind. B．Increasing his sadness.
C．Getting him lost in sadness. D．Letting him forget sadness.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Sad music fuels hope. B．Heartbreak can be damaging.
C．Heartbreak is part of human life. D．Sad music may heal a broken heart.
D
The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner. In other countries, this is not a problem: in America, where a queue-jumper has committed a kind of rudeness rather than a sin(罪过), the response is a loud warning: the offender is simply told “Hey, you, get back in line!” or words to that effect. On the European continent, the reaction tends to be loud and argumentative; in some other parts of the world, queue-jumpers are likely to get away with the offense. Only rarely do the English actually speak up and tell the jumper to go to the back of the queue.
Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits and lifts.
In 1946, a Hungarian humorist described queuing as English “national passion”. “On the continent,” he said, “if people are waiting at a bus stop they walk around in a seemingly relaxed fashion. When the bus arrives they run towards it quickly… An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.” In an update over thirty years later in 1977 he confirmed that this was still the case. After nearly another thirty years nothing much seems to have changed.
In many cases in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone. When someone is considering jumping a queue, the queuers will start looking at him sideways, through narrowed, suspicious eyes. Then they move a bit closer to the person in front of them, just in case the jumper might try to insert himself in the gap. Frowns, glares and raised eyebrows—accompanied by heavy sighs, pointed coughs—are usually the worst that the person will suffer if he jumps a queue. Faced with all this the jumper will think better of it and retreat to the back of the queue.
32．According to paragraph 1, in England, queue-jumping is ________.
A．a common practice in many public places
B．a serious social problem in modern times
C．warned and prevented by shouting and pushing.
D．tolerated though it is considered highly offensive.
33．By quoting the description of a Hungarian humorist, the author intends to show ________.
A．queuing is a kind of automatic behavior for Englishmen
B．Englishmen are stubborn and too strict with themselves
C．other Europeans are more open-minded than Englishman
D．queuing is essential in keeping the public in order
34．According to the author, queue-jumping can usually be stopped ________.
A．by shouting and loud warning
B．with a confident and aggressive attitude
C．by using body language that shows annoyance
D．with signs of public rules
35．What is the author’s tone in writing this passage?
A．Indifferent. B．Humorous. C．Subjective. D．Objective.

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture .This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another .
Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. ____36____ .We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. ____37____.
____38____ .After we have settled down into our new life , we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland, our family, friends, and even pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture .
The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. ____39____ .Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. ____40____ .You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.
A．You can cope with most problems that occur.
B．This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture.
C．It is extremely difficult to get through the first stage of culture.
D．You may feel sad, anxious , frustrated , and want to go home.
E．Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult.
F．This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure.
G．This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting.第二部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）

Deliberation is not always the best option
Humans have developed over millions of years of evolution to respond to certain situations without thinking too hard. If your ancestors ___41___ movement in the undergrowth, they would run first and ask questions later. At the same time, the ___42___ to analyse and to plan is part of what distinguishes people from other animals.
The question of when to trust your gut(直觉)and when to test your ___43___—whether to think fast or slow, in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist—___44___ in the office as much as it does in the savannah(大草原).
Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Strategic changes and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings, memos, formulas and presentations. Processes are increasingly designed to ___45___ instinctive responses. From blind screening of job applicants to using “red-teaming” techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans, precision ___46___ instinct.
Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and inherently(固有的)less ___47___ to analysis. Does a marketing campaign capture the ___48___ of your company, say, or would this person work well with other people in a team? In ___49___ customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script.
Gut instincts can also be ____50____. Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more unfailing with experience. In one well-known experiment, conducted in 2012, volunteers were asked to ____51____ whether a selection of designer handbags were fake or real. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate over their decision. Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it ____52____ analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be.
____53____, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. Instinctive decision-making is often the only way to get through the day. Researchers at Cornell University once estimated that people make over 200 decisions a day about food alone. The workplace is ____54____ but a succession of choices, a few big and many small: what to ____55____, when to intervene, whom to avoid in the lifts and, now, where to work each day.

Once upon a time there was a rich man who had a servant who served him diligently and honestly. Every morning the servant was the first one out of bed, and at night the last one to go to bed. Whenever there was a difficult job that nobody wanted to do, he was always the first to volunteer. He never complained about any of this, but was contented with everything and always happy.
When his year was over, his master gave him no wages, thinking, “That is the smartest thing to do, for it will save me something. He won’t leave me, but will gladly stay here working for me.”
The servant had a good heart, so he did his work the second year a she had done before. At the end of this year he received now ages again, but he still stayed on without complaining. When the third year had passed, the master thought it over, then put his hand into his pocket, but pulled out nothing.
However, this time the servant said, “Master, I have served you honestly for three years. Be so good as to give me what by rights (按理说) I have coming to me. I would like to be on my way and see something else of the world.”
“Yes, my good servant,” answered the master. “You have served me without complaint, and you shall be kindly rewarded.” Then he put his hand into his pocket, and counted out three dollars one at a time, saying, “There, you have a dollar for each year. That is a large and generous reward. Only a few masters would pay you so much.”
The good servant, who understood little about money, put his wealth into his pocket, and thought, “Ah, now that I have a full purse, why should I worry and continue to plague myself with hard work?”
So he set forth, uphill and downhill, singing and jumping for joy.

France says the new law is to protect its culture from American and British influences. It wants to stop the English language from getting deeper into French culture. The French music industry says the new law is necessary for the French language and French music. French musicians say the law is important to protect French musicians. One musician said, “It remains important for French artists to have the chance of making a career out of music.”

22．细节理解题。根据Rapa Nui National Park部分“These are a Monolithic human figures that are carvings by the Rapa Nui people from rock between the years 1250 and 1500.（这些是一个庞大而单一的人像，是Rapa Nui人从1250年至1500年间从岩石中雕刻出来的。）”可知在Rapa Nui National Park能看到巨大的人像。因此如果你想看到巨大的人像可以去Rapa Nui National Park。故选B项。
23．细节理解题。根据Taj Mahal 部分“It is white marble mausoleum which was built between 1632 and 1653 under the order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.（这是白色大理石陵墓，建于1632年至1653年之间，由Mughal皇帝Shah Jahan下令建造，以纪念他心爱的妻子Mumtaz Mahal。）”可知Taj Mahal的建造是为了纪念Mumtaz Mahal。故选D项。
24．C 25．C 26．A 27．B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者是班上唯一的犹太人，这让作者感到尴尬，但在妈妈的影响下，作者学会了分享自己的传统节日，明白了跨文化理解的重要性。
24．词义猜测题。根据画线单词上文“Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.”（每年9月，我都讨厌把父母熟练地写的便条交给我刚刚认识的老师。这张便条解释说，我将在犹太节日和赎罪日缺席。）可知，作者不喜欢父母写便条告诉老师自己将在犹太节日和赎罪日缺席，因为他担心老师知道他是犹太人，由此可知，画线单词所在句表示作者担心老师会给自己贴上“犹太孩子”的标签，“Worried”意为“担心”，能够代替画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段内容“The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.”（真正的麻烦总是在当地的新年临近时出现。我是犹太人，庆祝光明节，而不是这个节日。在学校，在寒假的前一天，每个班级都会整齐地坐在体育馆里，唱节日歌曲。然而，音乐老师有时会演奏一首犹太节日歌曲Dreidel，Dreidel，Dreidel，我会感觉到数百只眼睛盯着我的红脸。当我的朋友们数着节日到来前的日子时，我数着节日结束前的日子，我可以恢复正常的感觉。）可知，作者不喜欢当地的新年，因为他是犹太人，庆祝光明节，而不是这个节日，文化差异导致作者感到尴尬，由此可知，在当地节日期间，真正使作者感到恼火的是文化差异。故选C项。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.”（之前参加过介绍会的孩子们竞相回答问题。妈妈离开后，我会无意中听到他们向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品。）可知，当作者的妈妈来介绍犹太节日时，孩子们竞相回答问题，在妈妈离开后，向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品，由此可推断出，作者的同学热烈欢迎作者妈妈的到来。故选A项。
27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容“My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.”（我妈妈每年都来访我的学校，这也激发了其他家长的兴趣。这些年来，我们有家长来访，他们分享了德国和意大利庆祝节日的方式。）和最后一段内容“My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.”（我妈妈告诉我、我的同学和他们的家人，让我们与众不同的东西应该被庆祝和分享，这是我在另一个假期里为自己设定的目标。）可知，作者的妈妈分享犹太节日的行为也激发了其他家长分享自己国家的传统节日，妈妈的行为也让我知道我们应该分享自己的传统文化，由此可知，妈妈在学校做的事情说明她鼓励跨文化理解。故选B项。
28．C 29．B 30．A 31．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神，帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望，激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“A broken heart, a sad ending to a love affair—that’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life, needed, at least one time, to become more fully adult. But no question, the experience can be damaging.(一颗破碎的心，一段爱情的悲伤结局——这是我们大多数人都经历过或可能将要经历的事情。毕竟，这是人类生活的一部分，至少有一次是需要的，以便更完全地成为成年人。但毫无疑问，这种经历可能是破坏性的)”以及第二段“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy and the desire to connect with others—both avenues through the prison of heartache and despair.(但研究表明，心痛是有途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望。它可以激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望——这两种途径都可以穿过心痛和绝望的牢笼)”可推知，第一段的作用是引入主题——悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神。故选C。
29．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache.(但研究表明，心痛是有途径的)”以及画线词上文“It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy and the desire to connect with others (它可以帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望。它可以激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望)”可知，悲伤的音乐可以帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望，以及激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望，这两种途径都可以穿过心痛和绝望的牢笼。故画线词意思是“途径”。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心灵中治愈和振作起来)”以及第四段中“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现，当人们经历悲伤时，听“美丽但悲伤”的音乐能改善他们的情绪)”可知，美丽而悲伤的音乐可以振奋心碎的男性听众的精神状态。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第二段“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy and the desire to connect with others—both avenues through the prison of heartache and despair.(但研究表明，心痛是有途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望。它可以激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望——这两种途径都可以穿过心痛和绝望的牢笼)”结合文章主要说明了研究表明悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神，帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望，激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望。可知，这篇文章的主旨是悲伤的音乐可以治愈受伤的心。故选D。
32．D 33．A 34．C 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国人在各种场合均会自发排队， 且对插队的行为，他们缺少以直接的方式表达愤怒的信心或社交技巧，他们经常用肢体语言来阻止插队者。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第一自然段第一句话“The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner.(英国人期望彼此遵守排队规则，当这些规则被打破时，他们会感到非常生气，但缺乏自信或社交技巧，无法直接表达他们的不满。)”可知，在英国尽管人们会对插队这种行为感到生气，但不会直接表达不满，而是会容忍下去。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits and lifts.(对英国人来说，排队几乎是一种全国性的娱乐活动，他们会在公共汽车站、商店柜台、冰淇淋车、出入口和电梯前自动排成有序的队伍。)”和第三段“An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.(一个英国人，即使只有他一个人，也会井然有序地排成一队。)”可知，作者引用匈牙利作家的话是为了证明第二段中的观点，即排队对英国人来说是一种自发性的行为。故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一个自然段“In many cases in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone.(在英国，许多情况下，通过利用一些肢体语言可以有效阻止插队。)”可知，通过肢体语言表达愤怒，可有效阻止插队。故选C项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner.(英国人期望彼此遵守排队规则，当这些规则被打破时，他们会感到非常生气，但缺乏自信或社交技巧，无法直接表达他们的不满。)”和最后一段“In many cases in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone.(在英国，许多情况下，通过利用一些肢体语言可以有效阻止插队。)”及全文内容可知，作者在本文中客观描述了英国人对插队的反应这一事情。故选D项。
36．G 37．F 38．E 39．B 40．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文化冲击会经历四个基本阶段。
36．根据前句“Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”.(文化始于“蜜月期”。)”和后句“We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.(在新的环境中，看到新的风景，听到新的声音和语言，吃到新的食物，我们都很兴奋。)”可知，“蜜月期”期间，我们对新的文化感到兴奋。选择项G“This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting .(这段时间是我们刚到的时候，关于新文化的一切都是陌生而令人兴奋的。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
37．根据前句“We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.(在新的环境中，看到新的风景，听到新的声音和语言，吃到新的食物，我们都很兴奋。)”可知，这里陈述“蜜月期”所持续的时间及其原因。选择项F“This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting .(这个阶段可以持续相当长的时间，因为我们觉得自己参与了某种伟大的冒险。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
38．根据后文“After we have settled down into our new life , we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland, our family, friends, and even pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture. (当我们在新生活中安顿下来后，我们会变得很累，开始想念我们的家乡、家人、朋友，甚至宠物。当你在异国文化中面对生活中所有的小问题时，它们似乎更大，更令人不安。这段文化适应期可能非常困难，会导致新来的人拒绝或远离新文化。)”可知，本段介绍文化冲击的第二阶段，此阶段会出现文化的不适应。选择项E“Unfortunately , the second stage can be more difficult . (不幸的是，第二阶段可能更加困难。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
39．根据前句“The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. (第三个阶段被称为“调整阶段”。)”和后文“Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor! (你的幽默感通常会变得更强，你会意识到，在新的地方学会照顾自己会让你变得更强。事情还是很困难，但你现在是幸存者了!)”可知，在调整阶段会重新认识异国文化。选择项B“This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture . (这时你才开始意识到，在东道主文化中，事情并没有那么糟糕。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
40．根据前句“Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. (现在你在新环境中感到很舒服了。)”和后句“You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.(你可能在语言方面还有问题，但你知道你有足够的能力去处理它们。)”可知，这一阶段可以应付新环境所带来的大多数问题。选择项A“You can cope with most problems that occur. (你可以应付大多数出现的问题。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们说明了深思熟虑并不总是最好的选择，某些时候，直觉的优势更大。
41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果你的祖先发现灌木丛中有动静，他们会先跑，然后再问问题。A.uncovered揭露；B.spotted发现；C.blocked阻碍；D.encountered遭遇。由上文“Humans have developed over millions of years of evolution to respond to certain situations without thinking too hard.”可知讲述了人类经过数百万年的进化，已经能够不费吹灰之力地对某些情况作出反应，即发现某些情况，可以立即作出反应，故推知“If your ancestors __movement in the undergrowth, they would run first and ask questions later.”表述的是如果你的祖先发现灌木丛中有动静，他们会先跑，然后再问问题，即发现某些情况会立即作出反应，承接了前文所述内容；故选B项。
42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：同时，分析和计划的能力也是人类区别于其他动物的部分原因。A.capacity能力；B.motive原因，动机；C.reluctance勉强；D.urge冲动。由本句“At the same time, the _2_to analyse and to plan is part of what distinguishes people from other animals.”可知提到了人类与其他动物的区别，常识可知人类之所以要比其他动物高级，就是具有其他动物所不具备的某些方面的能力，故推知本处表述的是分析和计划的能力也是人类区别于其他动物的部分原因；故选A项。
43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：什么时候该相信自己的直觉，什么时候该检验自己的假设——用心理学家Daniel Kahneman的话来说，是快速思考还是慢速思考——这个问题在办公室里和在大草原上一样要紧。A.consultation磋商；B.anticipation期盼；C.assumptions假设；D.reaction反应。由本句“The question of when to trust your gut(直觉)and when to test your __3_ —whether to think fast or slow ,in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist”可知用Daniel Kahneman的话来说，凭借直觉来判断即是快速思考，而慢速思考则是与快速思考相反的，即与凭借直觉判断是相反的，推知慢速思考即是通过慢慢检验自己的假设，然后才作出判断；故空处表达的是“假设”；故选C项。
44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：什么时候该相信自己的直觉，什么时候该检验自己的假设——用心理学家Daniel Kahneman的话来说，是快速思考还是慢速思考——这个问题在办公室里和在大草原上一样要紧。A.integrates使结合；B.matters要紧；C. works工作；D.abuses虐待。由文章第一段“If your ancestors___movement in the undergrowth, they would run first and ask questions later.”可知祖先们遇到异常情况会先跑再问，是因为他们所生存的环境是非常险恶的，所以快速思考和慢速思考在大草原上很重要；文章第三段“Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace”提到了深思熟虑在职场的重要性；文章第四段“Yet instinct also has its place.”可知提到了本能在职场的一席之位；故推知本处“whether to think fast or slow, in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist—__4_ in the office as much as it does in the savannah(大草原).”讲述的是快速思考还是慢速思考在办公室和大草原一样要紧；故选B项。
45．考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：程序越来越多地被设计用来消灭本能反应。A.bring out拿出；B.pick out挑选；C.make out起草；D.stamp out消灭。由上文“Strategic changes and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings, memos, formulas and presentations.”可知战略变革和预算讨论建立在一轮又一轮的会议、备忘录、公式和演讲之上，即在作出决策之前，要经过很多道程序，经过一次又一次的讨论，这样所作出的决策全是深思熟虑后的结果，完全消灭了由本能所作出的反应；故选D项。
46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：从盲目筛选求职者到使用“红色团队”技术来分析公司的计划，精确打败了直觉。A.equals等于；B.comprises包括；C.beats打败；D.boosts激励。由本句“From blind screening of job applicants to using “red-teaming” techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans, precision__6_instinct.”可知原本是通过直觉来筛选求职者的，现在是利用“红色团队”技术来分析公司计划，寻找出最适合公司的求职者，这种办法能最直接找准目标，所以是精确地打败了由原本凭借直觉所作出的判断；故选C项。
47．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：有些决定更多地与情绪反应有关，本质上难以进行分析。A.manageable可做到的；B.adaptable有适应能力的；C.familiar相似的；D.sensitive敏感的。由本句“Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and inherently(固有的)less__7_to analysis.”可知一些决定更多地与情绪反应有关，即主观性因素较多，这个就难以以理性思维来分析了，less manageable 是难做到的，符合题意，故选A项。
48．考查名词词义辨析。句意：市场营销活动是否抓住了你公司的精髓，或者说，这个人是否能与团队中的其他人很好地合作？A.attention注意；B.opportunity机会；C.status地位；D.essence精髓。由本段第一句“Yet instinct also has its place.”可知讲述了本能也站一席之地的；下句“In__9_customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script.”提到了直觉通常是更好的行为指南，推知本句“Does a marketing campaign capture the _8_ of your company, say, or would this person work well with other people in a team?”表达的意思营销活动是否让你公司直接并精确受益，即是否抓住你公司的精髓，完全依靠经过深思熟虑的营销政策能否解决问题？或者说筛选出来的人是否能与团队中其他人合作？这些都意在表明有些时候直觉还是能被利用上的，深思熟虑后制定的政策并不适用于一切场合，本句与本段第一句主旨相符，故推知空处表示“精髓”；故选D项。
49．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在棘手的客户服务情况下，直觉往往是比脚本更好的行为指南。A.rough粗糙的；B.tough棘手的；C.nervous神经紧张的；D.neutral中立的。由本句“In__9_customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script.”可知提到直觉是更好的行为指南，这是在某种情况下，推知如果在简单容易的客户服务里，就按照制定好的策略执行就行了，但是在棘手的情况下，那直觉发挥的作用就比制定好的脚本更适用了，故推知空处表示的是“棘手的”，用tough；故选B项。
50．考查动词词义辨析。句意：直觉也可以得到改善。A.improved改善；B. copied复制；C.transferred转移；D.weakened变弱。由下文“Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more unfailing with experience.”可知大量的研究表明，直觉在经验的帮助下变得更加可靠，因为文章前面段落一直在强调很多情况下深思熟虑取代本能直觉，肯定是凭借直觉判断有很大不足才会被深思熟虑所取代，而本处提到了直觉在经验的帮助下会变更可靠，这个就是直觉的一个改善，故空处表示“改善”；故选A项。
51．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在2012年进行的一个著名的实验中，志愿者被要求评估一些名牌手袋是假的还是真的。A.ensure确保；B.extinguish扑灭；C.clarify阐明；D.assess评定，评估。由本句“whether a selection of designer handbags were fake or real”可知提到了一些名牌手提袋的真假；下文“Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags;”对于那些至少拥有三个名牌手袋的人来说，直觉更有效，可推知本处是让他们评定这些手提袋的真假，拥有至少三个手提袋的人的直觉会更准，这个就是经验使直觉更可靠；故选D项。
52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：事实上，它的表现比分析更好。A. undertook承担；B.outperformed比……表现更好；C.facilitated促进；D.paralleled与……平行。由上句“Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags”可知对于那些至少拥有三个名牌手袋的人来说，直觉更有效，即直觉比理性分析更有效，故“it__12_analysis.”表述的是它比分析表现更好；故选B项。
53．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，信奉快速思维的真正原因是，它确实很快。A.Likewise同样地；B.However然而；C.Consequently因此；D.Moreover此外。由上句“The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be.”可知提到越专业的话直觉就越精确，那么精确度是我们应该信奉快速思维的原因吗？下文给出答案“_13__ , the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast.”即信奉快速思维的真正原因是它很快，故推知空处表示“然而”，意在表明虽然直觉有时候精确，然而我们信奉它的真正原因是因为它快；故选B项。
54．考查不定代词词义辨析。句意：工作场所只不过是一连串的选择，有大有小：什么是优先处理的，什么时候介入，在电梯里避开谁，现在，每天在哪里工作。A.anything任何事物；B.something某事；C.nothing没有什么；D.everything每一事物。nothing but是固定搭配，译为“只不过是……”，符合题意；故选C项。
55．考查动词词义辨析。句意：工作场所只不过是一连串的选择，有大有小：什么是优先处理的，什么时候介入，在电梯里避开谁，现在，每天在哪里工作。A. cooperate合作；B.prioritize优先处理；C.convince使信服；D.strive奋斗。由本句“The workplace is___but a succession of choices, a few big and many small: what to __15_ , when to intervene, whom to avoid in the lifts and, now, where to work each day.”可知讲到了职场是一连串的选择，有大有小，既然有这么多选择，那么总要有先后处理的顺序，故推知空处表示“优先处理”，与后面句子构成排比，即什么是优先处理的，什么时候介入，在电梯里避开谁等等；故选B项。

56．考查可数名词单复数。句意：在吃了三个月的面包、汉堡包和意大利面之后，我开始想念中国菜。根据句意，三个月是复数，应使用名词的复数形式。故填months。
57．考查不定冠词。句意：幸运的是，在纽约这样的国际城市，我很容易找到一家中国餐馆。此处泛指纽约这个城市，没有特指的意思，故使用不定冠词。又因后面的international为元音开头。故填an。

59．考查连词。句意：我总是能在菜单上找到这种所谓的“中国菜”，如蜂蜜鸡，但我以前从来没有听说过。根据句意，前文作者提到这些所谓的中国菜，下文提到作者其实并没有见过，此处有转折对比的意思，应使用转折连词but，故填but。
60．考查介词。句意：我和我的朋友去了一家中国餐馆。根据句意可知，“和……一起”应使用介词with，故填with。
61．考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：饭后，我们每人都给了一个饺子形状的饼干。我咬了一口，我意识到有点不对劲。根据句意可知，饼干是别人给我们的，故应使用被动态，又因为此事发生在过去，故应使用被动态的一般过去时，主语是each每一个人，be动词应使用三单。故填was given。
62．考查一般过去时。句意：一开始我以为这一定是餐馆的把戏。整篇文章在讲述一个过去发生的经历，文章的时态基调是过去时，此处无特殊情况。故填thought。
63．考查固定搭配。句意：他们突然大笑起来，问道：“你真的是中国人吗？”burst out laughing为固定搭配，意为“突然大笑起来”。故填laughing。
64．考查副词。句意：当我极度想念我家乡的食物时，我总是去中国城。此处修饰动词miss，应使用副词，extreme的副词形式为extremely，故填extremely。
65．考查现在分词。句意：跟热辣的味道，我总能找到令我兴奋的最典型的中国食物。此处是使用动词follow的适当形式作状语， 与主语I之间是逻辑上的主动关系， 应使用现在分词， 位于句首， 首字母应大写。故填Following。
66．Dear Tom,
How is everything going? It’s my honor to take part in the voluntary work for the maintenance of the Great Wall. I’m writing to share my experience and feeling with you.
To start with, we were divided into groups and each group was led by a specialist to do a particular task. We were asked to follow the technician to check the spots which were badly destroyed. After that, we would keep track of the results, including the position and the level of destruction. During the day, we walked up and down about 100 or so districts. Eventually, we handed in the results to the workers specializing in maintenance. Tired as we were, we were proud of our work.
From the experience, I realized how important it is to protect the culture relics in our daily life.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．On the way, a little dwarf stepped out, and called to him. “Where are you heading? You don’t seem to be burdened with cares.” “Why should I be sad?” answered the servant. “I have everything I need. Three years’ wages are in my pocket. Three dollars!” “I am a poor and needy man,” the dwarf said. “Give me your wages. I can no longer work, but you are young and can easily earn your bread.” The servant felt pity for the dwarf and gave him his three dollars.
The dwarf was not satisfied. He asked for more help from the servant. “My home is a bit far from here. Since you have no destination in your mind, could you accompany me home?” The servant said yes without hesitation. At dusk, the dwarf, accompanied by the servant, came to a beautiful house. Then the dwarf said, “Because I see that you have a good heart, I will grant you this house. Now you have your own home.”

Growing up, I was often the first Jewish person my classmates had ever met. I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my grade—sometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart.
Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I fretted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”.
The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.
Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.
My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.
My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.
24．What does the underlined word “fretted” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Noticed. B．Disagreed. C．Worried. D．Expected.
25．What really annoyed the author during the local festival?
A．Being a trick target. B．Singing holiday songs.
C．Being culturally different. D．Celebrating others’ festival.
26．How did the author’s classmates react to Mom’s coming?
A．They welcomed it warmly. B．They gave away her treats.
C．They showed off themselves. D．They expressed sympathy for her.
27．Which of the following best states what Mom did at school?
A．She protected her child from being hurt.
B．She encouraged cross-cultural understanding.
C．She made Hanukkah a school-celebrated festival.
D．She saved the Jewish tradition from being changed.
C
A broken heart, a sad ending to a love affair—that’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life, needed, at least one time, to become more fully adult. But no question, the experience can be damaging.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy and the desire to connect with others—both avenues through the prison of heartache and despair.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany shows the emotional impact of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy, compassion, and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from being absorbed in yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously raised their awareness of the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show embracing your sad situation emotionally—accepting reality as it is—inspires healing and growth beyond it. In short, acknowledging your full experience arouses hope. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that embracing discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, generates motivation to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
28．What is the function of paragraph 1?
A．Telling a sad experience. B．Expressing the insight into life.
C．Leading in the topic. D．Arousing readers’ sympathy.
29．What does the underlined word “avenues” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Relations. B．Pathways. C．Stations. D．Struggles.
30．What effect does beautiful but sad music have on a heartbroken male listener?
A．Boosting his state of mind. B．Increasing his sadness.
C．Getting him lost in sadness. D．Letting him forget sadness.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Sad music fuels hope. B．Heartbreak can be damaging.
C．Heartbreak is part of human life. D．Sad music may heal a broken heart.
D
The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner. In other countries, this is not a problem: in America, where a queue-jumper has committed a kind of rudeness rather than a sin(罪过), the response is a loud warning: the offender is simply told “Hey, you, get back in line!” or words to that effect. On the European continent, the reaction tends to be loud and argumentative; in some other parts of the world, queue-jumpers are likely to get away with the offense. Only rarely do the English actually speak up and tell the jumper to go to the back of the queue.
Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits and lifts.
In 1946, a Hungarian humorist described queuing as English “national passion”. “On the continent,” he said, “if people are waiting at a bus stop they walk around in a seemingly relaxed fashion. When the bus arrives they run towards it quickly… An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.” In an update over thirty years later in 1977 he confirmed that this was still the case. After nearly another thirty years nothing much seems to have changed.
In many cases in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone. When someone is considering jumping a queue, the queuers will start looking at him sideways, through narrowed, suspicious eyes. Then they move a bit closer to the person in front of them, just in case the jumper might try to insert himself in the gap. Frowns, glares and raised eyebrows—accompanied by heavy sighs, pointed coughs—are usually the worst that the person will suffer if he jumps a queue. Faced with all this the jumper will think better of it and retreat to the back of the queue.
32．According to paragraph 1, in England, queue-jumping is ________.
A．a common practice in many public places
B．a serious social problem in modern times
C．warned and prevented by shouting and pushing.
D．tolerated though it is considered highly offensive.
33．By quoting the description of a Hungarian humorist, the author intends to show ________.
A．queuing is a kind of automatic behavior for Englishmen
B．Englishmen are stubborn and too strict with themselves
C．other Europeans are more open-minded than Englishman
D．queuing is essential in keeping the public in order
34．According to the author, queue-jumping can usually be stopped ________.
A．by shouting and loud warning
B．with a confident and aggressive attitude
C．by using body language that shows annoyance
D．with signs of public rules
35．What is the author’s tone in writing this passage?
A．Indifferent. B．Humorous. C．Subjective. D．Objective.

Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture .This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another .
Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. ____36____ .We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. ____37____.
____38____ .After we have settled down into our new life , we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland, our family, friends, and even pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture .
The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. ____39____ .Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. ____40____ .You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.
A．You can cope with most problems that occur.
B．This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture.
C．It is extremely difficult to get through the first stage of culture.
D．You may feel sad, anxious , frustrated , and want to go home.
E．Unfortunately, the second stage can be more difficult.
F．This stage can last for quite a long time because we feel we are involved in some kind of great adventure.
G．This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting.第二部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）

Deliberation is not always the best option
Humans have developed over millions of years of evolution to respond to certain situations without thinking too hard. If your ancestors ___41___ movement in the undergrowth, they would run first and ask questions later. At the same time, the ___42___ to analyse and to plan is part of what distinguishes people from other animals.
The question of when to trust your gut(直觉)and when to test your ___43___—whether to think fast or slow, in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist—___44___ in the office as much as it does in the savannah(大草原).
Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace. Strategic changes and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings, memos, formulas and presentations. Processes are increasingly designed to ___45___ instinctive responses. From blind screening of job applicants to using “red-teaming” techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans, precision ___46___ instinct.
Yet instinct also has its place. Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and inherently(固有的)less ___47___ to analysis. Does a marketing campaign capture the ___48___ of your company, say, or would this person work well with other people in a team? In ___49___ customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script.
Gut instincts can also be ____50____. Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more unfailing with experience. In one well-known experiment, conducted in 2012, volunteers were asked to ____51____ whether a selection of designer handbags were fake or real. Some were instructed to operate on instinct and others to deliberate over their decision. Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it ____52____ analysis. The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be.
____53____, the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. Instinctive decision-making is often the only way to get through the day. Researchers at Cornell University once estimated that people make over 200 decisions a day about food alone. The workplace is ____54____ but a succession of choices, a few big and many small: what to ____55____, when to intervene, whom to avoid in the lifts and, now, where to work each day.

Once upon a time there was a rich man who had a servant who served him diligently and honestly. Every morning the servant was the first one out of bed, and at night the last one to go to bed. Whenever there was a difficult job that nobody wanted to do, he was always the first to volunteer. He never complained about any of this, but was contented with everything and always happy.
When his year was over, his master gave him no wages, thinking, “That is the smartest thing to do, for it will save me something. He won’t leave me, but will gladly stay here working for me.”
The servant had a good heart, so he did his work the second year a she had done before. At the end of this year he received now ages again, but he still stayed on without complaining. When the third year had passed, the master thought it over, then put his hand into his pocket, but pulled out nothing.
However, this time the servant said, “Master, I have served you honestly for three years. Be so good as to give me what by rights (按理说) I have coming to me. I would like to be on my way and see something else of the world.”
“Yes, my good servant,” answered the master. “You have served me without complaint, and you shall be kindly rewarded.” Then he put his hand into his pocket, and counted out three dollars one at a time, saying, “There, you have a dollar for each year. That is a large and generous reward. Only a few masters would pay you so much.”
The good servant, who understood little about money, put his wealth into his pocket, and thought, “Ah, now that I have a full purse, why should I worry and continue to plague myself with hard work?”
So he set forth, uphill and downhill, singing and jumping for joy.

France says the new law is to protect its culture from American and British influences. It wants to stop the English language from getting deeper into French culture. The French music industry says the new law is necessary for the French language and French music. French musicians say the law is important to protect French musicians. One musician said, “It remains important for French artists to have the chance of making a career out of music.”

24．词义猜测题。根据画线单词上文“Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.”（每年9月，我都讨厌把父母熟练地写的便条交给我刚刚认识的老师。这张便条解释说，我将在犹太节日和赎罪日缺席。）可知，作者不喜欢父母写便条告诉老师自己将在犹太节日和赎罪日缺席，因为他担心老师知道他是犹太人，由此可知，画线单词所在句表示作者担心老师会给自己贴上“犹太孩子”的标签，“Worried”意为“担心”，能够代替画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段内容“The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal.”（真正的麻烦总是在当地的新年临近时出现。我是犹太人，庆祝光明节，而不是这个节日。在学校，在寒假的前一天，每个班级都会整齐地坐在体育馆里，唱节日歌曲。然而，音乐老师有时会演奏一首犹太节日歌曲Dreidel，Dreidel，Dreidel，我会感觉到数百只眼睛盯着我的红脸。当我的朋友们数着节日到来前的日子时，我数着节日结束前的日子，我可以恢复正常的感觉。）可知，作者不喜欢当地的新年，因为他是犹太人，庆祝光明节，而不是这个节日，文化差异导致作者感到尴尬，由此可知，在当地节日期间，真正使作者感到恼火的是文化差异。故选C项。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.”（之前参加过介绍会的孩子们竞相回答问题。妈妈离开后，我会无意中听到他们向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品。）可知，当作者的妈妈来介绍犹太节日时，孩子们竞相回答问题，在妈妈离开后，向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品，由此可推断出，作者的同学热烈欢迎作者妈妈的到来。故选A项。
27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容“My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked (激发) interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy.”（我妈妈每年都来访我的学校，这也激发了其他家长的兴趣。这些年来，我们有家长来访，他们分享了德国和意大利庆祝节日的方式。）和最后一段内容“My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.”（我妈妈告诉我、我的同学和他们的家人，让我们与众不同的东西应该被庆祝和分享，这是我在另一个假期里为自己设定的目标。）可知，作者的妈妈分享犹太节日的行为也激发了其他家长分享自己国家的传统节日，妈妈的行为也让我知道我们应该分享自己的传统文化，由此可知，妈妈在学校做的事情说明她鼓励跨文化理解。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神，帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望，激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“A broken heart, a sad ending to a love affair—that’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life, needed, at least one time, to become more fully adult. But no question, the experience can be damaging.(一颗破碎的心，一段爱情的悲伤结局——这是我们大多数人都经历过或可能将要经历的事情。毕竟，这是人类生活的一部分，至少有一次是需要的，以便更完全地成为成年人。但毫无疑问，这种经历可能是破坏性的)”以及第二段“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy and the desire to connect with others—both avenues through the prison of heartache and despair.(但研究表明，心痛是有途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望。它可以激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望——这两种途径都可以穿过心痛和绝望的牢笼)”可推知，第一段的作用是引入主题——悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神。故选C。
29．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache.(但研究表明，心痛是有途径的)”以及画线词上文“It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy and the desire to connect with others (它可以帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望。它可以激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望)”可知，悲伤的音乐可以帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望，以及激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望，这两种途径都可以穿过心痛和绝望的牢笼。故画线词意思是“途径”。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心灵中治愈和振作起来)”以及第四段中“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现，当人们经历悲伤时，听“美丽但悲伤”的音乐能改善他们的情绪)”可知，美丽而悲伤的音乐可以振奋心碎的男性听众的精神状态。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第二段“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy and the desire to connect with others—both avenues through the prison of heartache and despair.(但研究表明，心痛是有途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望。它可以激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望——这两种途径都可以穿过心痛和绝望的牢笼)”结合文章主要说明了研究表明悲伤的音乐可以振奋精神，帮助你重新对生活感到快乐和希望，激发同理心和与他人联系的欲望。可知，这篇文章的主旨是悲伤的音乐可以治愈受伤的心。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国人在各种场合均会自发排队， 且对插队的行为，他们缺少以直接的方式表达愤怒的信心或社交技巧，他们经常用肢体语言来阻止插队者。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第一自然段第一句话“The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner.(英国人期望彼此遵守排队规则，当这些规则被打破时，他们会感到非常生气，但缺乏自信或社交技巧，无法直接表达他们的不满。)”可知，在英国尽管人们会对插队这种行为感到生气，但不会直接表达不满，而是会容忍下去。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits and lifts.(对英国人来说，排队几乎是一种全国性的娱乐活动，他们会在公共汽车站、商店柜台、冰淇淋车、出入口和电梯前自动排成有序的队伍。)”和第三段“An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.(一个英国人，即使只有他一个人，也会井然有序地排成一队。)”可知，作者引用匈牙利作家的话是为了证明第二段中的观点，即排队对英国人来说是一种自发性的行为。故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一个自然段“In many cases in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone.(在英国，许多情况下，通过利用一些肢体语言可以有效阻止插队。)”可知，通过肢体语言表达愤怒，可有效阻止插队。故选C项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner.(英国人期望彼此遵守排队规则，当这些规则被打破时，他们会感到非常生气，但缺乏自信或社交技巧，无法直接表达他们的不满。)”和最后一段“In many cases in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone.(在英国，许多情况下，通过利用一些肢体语言可以有效阻止插队。)”及全文内容可知，作者在本文中客观描述了英国人对插队的反应这一事情。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文化冲击会经历四个基本阶段。
36．根据前句“Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”.(文化始于“蜜月期”。)”和后句“We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.(在新的环境中，看到新的风景，听到新的声音和语言，吃到新的食物，我们都很兴奋。)”可知，“蜜月期”期间，我们对新的文化感到兴奋。选择项G“This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting .(这段时间是我们刚到的时候，关于新文化的一切都是陌生而令人兴奋的。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
37．根据前句“We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food.(在新的环境中，看到新的风景，听到新的声音和语言，吃到新的食物，我们都很兴奋。)”可知，这里陈述“蜜月期”所持续的时间及其原因。选择项F“This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting .(这个阶段可以持续相当长的时间，因为我们觉得自己参与了某种伟大的冒险。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
38．根据后文“After we have settled down into our new life , we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland, our family, friends, and even pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture. (当我们在新生活中安顿下来后，我们会变得很累，开始想念我们的家乡、家人、朋友，甚至宠物。当你在异国文化中面对生活中所有的小问题时，它们似乎更大，更令人不安。这段文化适应期可能非常困难，会导致新来的人拒绝或远离新文化。)”可知，本段介绍文化冲击的第二阶段，此阶段会出现文化的不适应。选择项E“Unfortunately , the second stage can be more difficult . (不幸的是，第二阶段可能更加困难。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
39．根据前句“The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. (第三个阶段被称为“调整阶段”。)”和后文“Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor! (你的幽默感通常会变得更强，你会意识到，在新的地方学会照顾自己会让你变得更强。事情还是很困难，但你现在是幸存者了!)”可知，在调整阶段会重新认识异国文化。选择项B“This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture . (这时你才开始意识到，在东道主文化中，事情并没有那么糟糕。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
40．根据前句“Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. (现在你在新环境中感到很舒服了。)”和后句“You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.(你可能在语言方面还有问题，但你知道你有足够的能力去处理它们。)”可知，这一阶段可以应付新环境所带来的大多数问题。选择项A“You can cope with most problems that occur. (你可以应付大多数出现的问题。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们说明了深思熟虑并不总是最好的选择，某些时候，直觉的优势更大。
41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果你的祖先发现灌木丛中有动静，他们会先跑，然后再问问题。A.uncovered揭露；B.spotted发现；C.blocked阻碍；D.encountered遭遇。由上文“Humans have developed over millions of years of evolution to respond to certain situations without thinking too hard.”可知讲述了人类经过数百万年的进化，已经能够不费吹灰之力地对某些情况作出反应，即发现某些情况，可以立即作出反应，故推知“If your ancestors __movement in the undergrowth, they would run first and ask questions later.”表述的是如果你的祖先发现灌木丛中有动静，他们会先跑，然后再问问题，即发现某些情况会立即作出反应，承接了前文所述内容；故选B项。
42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：同时，分析和计划的能力也是人类区别于其他动物的部分原因。A.capacity能力；B.motive原因，动机；C.reluctance勉强；D.urge冲动。由本句“At the same time, the _2_to analyse and to plan is part of what distinguishes people from other animals.”可知提到了人类与其他动物的区别，常识可知人类之所以要比其他动物高级，就是具有其他动物所不具备的某些方面的能力，故推知本处表述的是分析和计划的能力也是人类区别于其他动物的部分原因；故选A项。
43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：什么时候该相信自己的直觉，什么时候该检验自己的假设——用心理学家Daniel Kahneman的话来说，是快速思考还是慢速思考——这个问题在办公室里和在大草原上一样要紧。A.consultation磋商；B.anticipation期盼；C.assumptions假设；D.reaction反应。由本句“The question of when to trust your gut(直觉)and when to test your __3_ —whether to think fast or slow ,in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist”可知用Daniel Kahneman的话来说，凭借直觉来判断即是快速思考，而慢速思考则是与快速思考相反的，即与凭借直觉判断是相反的，推知慢速思考即是通过慢慢检验自己的假设，然后才作出判断；故空处表达的是“假设”；故选C项。
44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：什么时候该相信自己的直觉，什么时候该检验自己的假设——用心理学家Daniel Kahneman的话来说，是快速思考还是慢速思考——这个问题在办公室里和在大草原上一样要紧。A.integrates使结合；B.matters要紧；C. works工作；D.abuses虐待。由文章第一段“If your ancestors___movement in the undergrowth, they would run first and ask questions later.”可知祖先们遇到异常情况会先跑再问，是因为他们所生存的环境是非常险恶的，所以快速思考和慢速思考在大草原上很重要；文章第三段“Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace”提到了深思熟虑在职场的重要性；文章第四段“Yet instinct also has its place.”可知提到了本能在职场的一席之位；故推知本处“whether to think fast or slow, in the language of Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist—__4_ in the office as much as it does in the savannah(大草原).”讲述的是快速思考还是慢速思考在办公室和大草原一样要紧；故选B项。
45．考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：程序越来越多地被设计用来消灭本能反应。A.bring out拿出；B.pick out挑选；C.make out起草；D.stamp out消灭。由上文“Strategic changes and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings, memos, formulas and presentations.”可知战略变革和预算讨论建立在一轮又一轮的会议、备忘录、公式和演讲之上，即在作出决策之前，要经过很多道程序，经过一次又一次的讨论，这样所作出的决策全是深思熟虑后的结果，完全消灭了由本能所作出的反应；故选D项。
46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：从盲目筛选求职者到使用“红色团队”技术来分析公司的计划，精确打败了直觉。A.equals等于；B.comprises包括；C.beats打败；D.boosts激励。由本句“From blind screening of job applicants to using “red-teaming” techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans, precision__6_instinct.”可知原本是通过直觉来筛选求职者的，现在是利用“红色团队”技术来分析公司计划，寻找出最适合公司的求职者，这种办法能最直接找准目标，所以是精确地打败了由原本凭借直觉所作出的判断；故选C项。
47．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：有些决定更多地与情绪反应有关，本质上难以进行分析。A.manageable可做到的；B.adaptable有适应能力的；C.familiar相似的；D.sensitive敏感的。由本句“Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and inherently(固有的)less__7_to analysis.”可知一些决定更多地与情绪反应有关，即主观性因素较多，这个就难以以理性思维来分析了，less manageable 是难做到的，符合题意，故选A项。
48．考查名词词义辨析。句意：市场营销活动是否抓住了你公司的精髓，或者说，这个人是否能与团队中的其他人很好地合作？A.attention注意；B.opportunity机会；C.status地位；D.essence精髓。由本段第一句“Yet instinct also has its place.”可知讲述了本能也站一席之地的；下句“In__9_customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script.”提到了直觉通常是更好的行为指南，推知本句“Does a marketing campaign capture the _8_ of your company, say, or would this person work well with other people in a team?”表达的意思营销活动是否让你公司直接并精确受益，即是否抓住你公司的精髓，完全依靠经过深思熟虑的营销政策能否解决问题？或者说筛选出来的人是否能与团队中其他人合作？这些都意在表明有些时候直觉还是能被利用上的，深思熟虑后制定的政策并不适用于一切场合，本句与本段第一句主旨相符，故推知空处表示“精髓”；故选D项。
49．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在棘手的客户服务情况下，直觉往往是比脚本更好的行为指南。A.rough粗糙的；B.tough棘手的；C.nervous神经紧张的；D.neutral中立的。由本句“In__9_customer-service situations, intuition is often a better guide to how to behave than a script.”可知提到直觉是更好的行为指南，这是在某种情况下，推知如果在简单容易的客户服务里，就按照制定好的策略执行就行了，但是在棘手的情况下，那直觉发挥的作用就比制定好的脚本更适用了，故推知空处表示的是“棘手的”，用tough；故选B项。
50．考查动词词义辨析。句意：直觉也可以得到改善。A.improved改善；B. copied复制；C.transferred转移；D.weakened变弱。由下文“Plenty of research has shown that intuition becomes more unfailing with experience.”可知大量的研究表明，直觉在经验的帮助下变得更加可靠，因为文章前面段落一直在强调很多情况下深思熟虑取代本能直觉，肯定是凭借直觉判断有很大不足才会被深思熟虑所取代，而本处提到了直觉在经验的帮助下会变更可靠，这个就是直觉的一个改善，故空处表示“改善”；故选A项。
51．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在2012年进行的一个著名的实验中，志愿者被要求评估一些名牌手袋是假的还是真的。A.ensure确保；B.extinguish扑灭；C.clarify阐明；D.assess评定，评估。由本句“whether a selection of designer handbags were fake or real”可知提到了一些名牌手提袋的真假；下文“Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags;”对于那些至少拥有三个名牌手袋的人来说，直觉更有效，可推知本处是让他们评定这些手提袋的真假，拥有至少三个手提袋的人的直觉会更准，这个就是经验使直觉更可靠；故选D项。
52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：事实上，它的表现比分析更好。A. undertook承担；B.outperformed比……表现更好；C.facilitated促进；D.paralleled与……平行。由上句“Intuition worked better for those who owned at least three designer handbags”可知对于那些至少拥有三个名牌手袋的人来说，直觉更有效，即直觉比理性分析更有效，故“it__12_analysis.”表述的是它比分析表现更好；故选B项。
53．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，信奉快速思维的真正原因是，它确实很快。A.Likewise同样地；B.However然而；C.Consequently因此；D.Moreover此外。由上句“The more expert you become, the better your instincts tend to be.”可知提到越专业的话直觉就越精确，那么精确度是我们应该信奉快速思维的原因吗？下文给出答案“_13__ , the real reason to embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast.”即信奉快速思维的真正原因是它很快，故推知空处表示“然而”，意在表明虽然直觉有时候精确，然而我们信奉它的真正原因是因为它快；故选B项。
54．考查不定代词词义辨析。句意：工作场所只不过是一连串的选择，有大有小：什么是优先处理的，什么时候介入，在电梯里避开谁，现在，每天在哪里工作。A.anything任何事物；B.something某事；C.nothing没有什么；D.everything每一事物。nothing but是固定搭配，译为“只不过是……”，符合题意；故选C项。
55．考查动词词义辨析。句意：工作场所只不过是一连串的选择，有大有小：什么是优先处理的，什么时候介入，在电梯里避开谁，现在，每天在哪里工作。A. cooperate合作；B.prioritize优先处理；C.convince使信服；D.strive奋斗。由本句“The workplace is___but a succession of choices, a few big and many small: what to __15_ , when to intervene, whom to avoid in the lifts and, now, where to work each day.”可知讲到了职场是一连串的选择，有大有小，既然有这么多选择，那么总要有先后处理的顺序，故推知空处表示“优先处理”，与后面句子构成排比，即什么是优先处理的，什么时候介入，在电梯里避开谁等等；故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在无法忍受外国饭菜之后，寻找中国食物的历程和其中发生的趣事。
56．考查可数名词单复数。句意：在吃了三个月的面包、汉堡包和意大利面之后，我开始想念中国菜。根据句意，三个月是复数，应使用名词的复数形式。故填months。
57．考查不定冠词。句意：幸运的是，在纽约这样的国际城市，我很容易找到一家中国餐馆。此处泛指纽约这个城市，没有特指的意思，故使用不定冠词。又因后面的international为元音开头。故填an。
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：幸运的是，在纽约这样的国际城市，我很容易找到一家中国餐馆。此句的谓语为have, have difficulty (in) doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“做某事有困难”。使用动名词形式作宾语，find的现在分词形式为finding，故填finding。
59．考查连词。句意：我总是能在菜单上找到这种所谓的“中国菜”，如蜂蜜鸡，但我以前从来没有听说过。根据句意，前文作者提到这些所谓的中国菜，下文提到作者其实并没有见过，此处有转折对比的意思，应使用转折连词but，故填but。
60．考查介词。句意：我和我的朋友去了一家中国餐馆。根据句意可知，“和……一起”应使用介词with，故填with。
61．考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：饭后，我们每人都给了一个饺子形状的饼干。我咬了一口，我意识到有点不对劲。根据句意可知，饼干是别人给我们的，故应使用被动态，又因为此事发生在过去，故应使用被动态的一般过去时，主语是each每一个人，be动词应使用三单。故填was given。
62．考查一般过去时。句意：一开始我以为这一定是餐馆的把戏。整篇文章在讲述一个过去发生的经历，文章的时态基调是过去时，此处无特殊情况。故填thought。
63．考查固定搭配。句意：他们突然大笑起来，问道：“你真的是中国人吗？”burst out laughing为固定搭配，意为“突然大笑起来”。故填laughing。
64．考查副词。句意：当我极度想念我家乡的食物时，我总是去中国城。此处修饰动词miss，应使用副词，extreme的副词形式为extremely，故填extremely。
65．考查现在分词。句意：跟热辣的味道，我总能找到令我兴奋的最典型的中国食物。此处是使用动词follow的适当形式作状语， 与主语I之间是逻辑上的主动关系， 应使用现在分词， 位于句首， 首字母应大写。故填Following。
66．Dear Tom,
How is everything going? It’s my honor to take part in the voluntary work for the maintenance of the Great Wall. I’m writing to share my experience and feeling with you.
To start with, we were divided into groups and each group was led by a specialist to do a particular task. We were asked to follow the technician to check the spots which were badly destroyed. After that, we would keep track of the results, including the position and the level of destruction. During the day, we walked up and down about 100 or so districts. Eventually, we handed in the results to the workers specializing in maintenance. Tired as we were, we were proud of our work.
From the experience, I realized how important it is to protect the culture relics in our daily life.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．On the way, a little dwarf stepped out, and called to him. “Where are you heading? You don’t seem to be burdened with cares.” “Why should I be sad?” answered the servant. “I have everything I need. Three years’ wages are in my pocket. Three dollars!” “I am a poor and needy man,” the dwarf said. “Give me your wages. I can no longer work, but you are young and can easily earn your bread.” The servant felt pity for the dwarf and gave him his three dollars.
The dwarf was not satisfied. He asked for more help from the servant. “My home is a bit far from here. Since you have no destination in your mind, could you accompany me home?” The servant said yes without hesitation. At dusk, the dwarf, accompanied by the servant, came to a beautiful house. Then the dwarf said, “Because I see that you have a good heart, I will grant you this house. Now you have your own home.”
