When I was five or six years old,I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world.I would say to myself,“When I grow up,when I can get rich,I will save kids all over the world.”
At 17,I started my career here in America,and by the age of 18,I started my first charity organisation.I went on to team up with other organisations in the following years,and met,helped,and even lost some of the most beautiful souls,from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病),whose story inspired thousands of people to volunteer as donors,to my grandmother,who lost her battle with cancer in 2012,which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF).We’re all human.And we all just want a chance: a chance at life,a chance in education,a chance at a future,really.And at CLF,our mission is to impact as many lives as possible,but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work.The truth is,you don’t have to be rich to help others.You don’t need to be famous.You don’t even have to be college-educated.But it starts with your neighbour,the person right next to you,the person sitting next to you in class,the kid down the block in your neighbourhood.You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.And today,I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person,one organisation,one situation that touches your heart.My grandmother always used to say,“If you’ve got a dollar,there’s plenty to share.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。慈善无关贫富,无关名誉,无关教育背景;从帮助身边的人做起,成就自己的事业。
24.What did the author want to do at a young age?
A.Watch TV.
B.Grow up quickly.
C.Become wealthy.
D.Help other children.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I would say to myself,‘When I grow up,when I can get rich,I will save kids all over the world.’”可知,作者小时候在电视中看到受苦的孩子,想要在长大后帮助他们,故选D项。

A.A six-year-old kid’s request.
B.Her grandmother’s death of cancer.
C.Many volunteers’ inspiration.
D.Other organisations’ encouragement.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“...to my grandmother,who lost her battle with cancer in 2012,which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF)”可知,在2012年,祖母因病去世,这促使作者成立了克拉拉·莱昂内尔基金会(CLF)。

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal.Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”,usually over a cup of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead,there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realised that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly,English and German cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because the culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
【语篇解读】本文为说明文。作者主要介绍在不同的文化背景下,人们具有不同的价值观,如何才能做到更好地理解彼此。
28.What will people feel easier to do by eating together at restaurants in some countries?
A.Developing closer relations.
B.Sharing the same culture.
C.Getting to know each other.
D.Keeping each other company.

29.What does the author want to show when mentioning his experience in Thailand?
A.The English prefer to make long speeches.
B.Too many words are of no use.
C.People from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature.
D.Even talk and silence can be culturally different.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.”可知作者提到在泰国的例子就是说明“谈话”“沉默”体现不同文化。
30.According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better?

D
The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene.Hugh Grant knocks into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her.After it happened,Grant repeatedly says,“I’m so sorry.I’m so sorry.”
His actions in this scene are very British.If Roberts’ character were from Britain,then she would probably apologise repeatedly as well—even if it were not her fault.But this doesn’t happen in the movie,as Roberts is from the US.
A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologise when they ran into someone in the street—regardless of whether they are responsible or not.In fact,the British use “sorry” in many situations.For example,if they mishear someone,they say “Sorry?” The person they are talking to will also apologise by replying,“No,I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as they compete for who is the most sorry.
Why are the British so sorry?Mark Tyrrell,a psychology writer in the UK,thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system.“We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologise for not being the working class,but also for not really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologise to avoid conflicts.For example,if they bump into someone,he might get angry.To avoid this,they instantly say “Sorry!”
True manners are about being considerate,and today’s constant use of apologising shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were.The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning.Do you see my point?Sorry,it might just be a British thing.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国人的道歉文化及其原因:一是因为历史上英国的新中产阶级;二是为了避免冲突。
32.Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning?
A.To give an example of British modesty.
B.To introduce different ways of saying sorry.
C.To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.
D.To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第一段的描述可知,文章开头以电影为例,描述了英国人道歉的场景,引出文章的主题——英国的道歉文化。
33.Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrrell agree with?
A.People should not apologise if they are not responsible.
B.Americans care less about manners than British people do.
C.That British people apologise so much is linked to the class system.
D.British people care too much about which social class they are from.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Mark Tyrrell...thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system.”可知,Mark Tyrrell认为英国人的道歉根源于其阶级制度。由此可推断,C项正确。
34.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.It’s unnecessary for British people to be so polite.
B.The overuse of apologising shows Britons are truly sincere.
C.People should give up the traditional use of the word “sorry”.
D.Using “sorry” more doesn’t necessarily mean people are more polite.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第四段的内容以及最后一段中的“today’s constant use of apologising shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were.”可知,英国人道歉或是与他们的阶级制度有关,或是为了避免冲突,今天的多次道歉也并不意味着人们更有礼貌。
35.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A.To explore the best way of saying sorry.
B.To explain why the British overuse the word “sorry”.
C.To show how saying sorry has changed over time.
D.To suggest many British people lack traditional manners.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,本文由电影场景引入主题,介绍了英国的道歉文化,并介绍了英国人道歉的原因及今天道歉的意义,主要目的是介绍英国人过量道歉的原因。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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 to start a conversation with
someone you don’t know
Introduce Yourself
It’s not necessary to be clever when you introduce yourself.Simply focus on being genuine and sincere.When you approach the other person to start the conversation,give him a warm smile and clearly state your name.　36　 Remember to speak at a regular pace,taking care not to speak too quickly or slowly,so that the other person will have no difficulty understanding you. 
Begin the Conversation
　37　 A comment about the weather or a current event may be most appropriate.Avoid beginning the conversation with anything too personal,as this may make the other person feel uncomfortable to continue the conversation.After you make your opening comments,give the person enough time to respond.Show a sincere interest in the thoughts he expresses about the subject. 
Continue the Conversation
If you are building a rapport,feel free to move on to a bit more personal topics to continue the conversation.　38　 Open-ended questions—those that can’t be answered by a simple “yes” or “no”—help to keep a conversation going. 
　39　 
When you have run out of things to say or need to move on to do something else,prepare your exit strategy.You may say that you need to use the bathroom or catch up with someone else.Let the other person know how much you enjoyed talking to her.　40　 

A.End the Conversation.
B.Bring up a general topic to begin the conversation.
C.This will help keep the conversation flowing freely.
D.If appropriate,make plans to talk again at a later date.
E.Your conversational partner will feel valued and appreciated.
F.Explain who you are and why you want to have the conversation.
G.You may want to ask about his favourite hobby,his career,his classes or upcoming events.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了和陌生人交谈的技巧。如:介绍自己;开始交谈;继续交谈和结束交谈等。
36.F　本部分的小标题为“介绍自己”。根据前面的“说清楚你的名字”可知,F项“解释你是谁,为什么想交谈”符合语境。
37.B　本部分的小标题是“开始交谈”。和陌生人交谈需要有合适的话题,B项“提出一个一般话题来开始交谈”与上文语意相符。
38.G　根据上文的“私人的话题”可知,G项中的“也许你想问一下他的爱好、职业、课程和即将到来的事件”可承接上文。
39.A　根据前面的“开始交谈;继续交谈”可知,此处应为“结束谈话”,所以选A项。
40.D　本部分主要介绍如何结束交谈。D项“如果合适的话,计划稍后再谈”符合语意。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人割草机的优点。
56.designed　考查非谓语动词。设空处作后置定语修饰robot lawn mowers,design与robot lawn mowers之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且design所表示的动作已发生,故填designed。
57.being　考查非谓语动词。此处是with复合结构作状语,因global warming与be之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且be所表示的状态与谓语动词所表示的状态同时存在,故填being。
58.quietly　考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词work,故填副词quietly。
59.was found　考查语态。由After careful assessment可知,此处用一般过去时,又因noise与find之间是被动关系,故填was found。
60.to return　考查非谓语动词。warn sb/sth to do sth意为“提醒某人/某物做某事”。
61.the　考查冠词。on the other hand 意为“另一方面”。
62.or/otherwise　考查连词。设空处连接两个分句,表示“否则,要不然”,故填or/otherwise。
63.that/which　考查定语从句。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词items,且在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
64.beneficial　考查形容词。设空处作表语,意为“有益的,有帮助的”,故填beneficial。
65.in　考查介词。in comfort意为“舒适地”。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall.I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage.After the purchase in one of the large,fancy,expensive shops,I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage,which was not cheap at all,if she could ring the number of my driver for me.She replied,still all smiles,“I’m sorry sir,but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was,I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me.Remembering my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble,I thought I might have a chance.But before I could say a word,he walked past me.It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me.Disappointed and tired,I got out of the shop onto the busy street in front.I stood there with people rushing by,looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face.I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.

At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.I thought that a beautiful woman with charming blue eyes must be willing to help me.So,with great expectation,I trotted briskly towards her with an appropriate smile on my face,and requested courteously if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me.However,what I saw was a woman’s face disfigured by frowns and what I heard was a sound of dismay and suspicion under her breath.Without a word,she pulled her kids to escape from me,as if scared by a murderer.I stood there,motionless,with a blank face and a sinking heart.
Finally,a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.I squeezed a smile though it failed to mask my weariness,and requested him the same thing.Unexpectedly,he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation or any probing questions.Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to seek for so long.From that day on,I began helping other strangers in distress,just like the poor-looking but kind man,with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people’s hearts.
