However, no city will ever quite match Cadiz, where I spent six months studying as a student.Before that, I knew very little about Cadiz but I decided to take a risk and explore it. Well, the risk certainly paid off.Cadiz, Europe’s oldest city, hangs off Spain’s southern coast on a peninsula (半岛), surrounded almost entirely by water. As you leave the shady streets of the historical old city and explore more of it, you are met with vast areas of the blue Atlantic Ocean and white sandy beaches, which in my opinion are some of the best in Spain!One of the great things about Cadiz is the wonderful, rich culture of food and drink. There are little tapas (小吃) bars lining every street and most will serve tapas for around 1.50~2 euros, meaning you can try a whole variety of Andalusian dishes.Cadiz has also come to be known as “The Singing City”. It comes from the annual carnival (狂欢节), one of the biggest in Europe. A very large number of people go to Cadiz to see it. During those ten days, Cadiz’s narrow streets are filed with the sound of singing as musical groups fight for a place in the contest, which takes place on the last Saturday of carnival. The songs perfectly show the sense of humor of the Gaditanos, who, besides being so warm and welcoming, are said to have the best sense of humor in Spain!That is my experience of Cadiz: a wonderful, typically Andalusian city which is often overlooked but well worth a visit. I can currently living in Huelva, just a short drive from Cadiz, so please pay attention to my next sharing!4. What dose the word “that” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Studying in Cadiz. B. Competing in a match.C. Teaching a student. D. Becoming an explorer.5. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The unknown origin and long history of Cadiz. B. The beautiful life of people living to Cadiz.C. The geographic position and scenery of Cadiz. D. The author’s complex attitude towards Cadiz.6. Why is Cadiz called “The Singing City”?A. A number of local people enjoy humorous songs.B. Singing is everywhere during a big annual carnival.C. Many grand carnivals attract well-known singers.D. A lot of singing competitions take place each year.7. From which is the text most probably taken?A A post on the Internet. B. A geography textbook.C. A travel brochure. D. A biography.CYour colleague’s sharp comment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your students are trapped in a “he said/she said” battle. When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distancing”，the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According to a research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.But what might self-distancing look like in action? Consider a typical “he said/she said” student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings. One is thinking，“I can’t believe he did that to me.” And another insists, “She really hurt my feelings.” However, if you ask them to take the self-distancing, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions: “Why was he so hurt in this situation?” or “How did her anger affect him?”Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, studies indicate that a change in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way people think, feel, and behave. Here are several different techniques you can try.First，consider how a thoughtful friend might respond after quietly observing their situation. Besides, avoid using the pronoun “I”. Focus on using third-person pronouns, he, she, they, and they were able to see the stressful event as challenging rather than threatening. Finally, ask yourself, “How would I feel about this one week from now or ten years from now?” This form of mental time travel may be effective because our attention is directed away from our immediate, concrete circumstances.8. What is self-distancing?A. Getting stuck in negative emotions. B. A stressful situation.C. A study on relieving emotional stress. D. Reflecting on yourself objectively.9. Paragraph 2 is developed by____.A. example B. definitionC. classification D. process10. Which of the following statement uses the techniques of self-distancing?A. I’m angry with him.B. How I wish I could go back to the past!C. How did these two people get to this point?D. He grabbed my notes, and then, and then...11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Why Self-distancing MattersB. The Application of Self-distancingC. Breaking the Cycle of Negative ReflectionD. Ways to Reflect on Emotional ReactionsD阅读理解。We already know the fastest,least expensive way to slow down climate change:use less energy.With a little effort,and not much money,most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more—doing the Earth a favor while also helping our wallets.Not long ago,my wife,PJ,and I tried a new diet—not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change.Scientists have reported recently that the world is heating up even faster than predicted only a few years ago,and that the consequences(后果)could be severe if we don’t keep reducing emission(排放)of carbon dioxide(CO2)and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere.We decided to try an experiment.For one month we recorded our personal emission of CO2.We wanted to see how much we could cut back,so we went on a strict diet.The average US household produces about 150 pounds of CO2 a day by doing common things like turning on air conditioning or driving cars.That’s more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average,mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses.But how much should we try to reduce?For an answer,I checked with Tim Flannery,author of The Weather Makers:How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth.In his book,he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emission to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points,such as the melting(融化) of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica.“To stay below that point,we need to reduce CO2 emission by 80 percent,”he said.Good advice,I thought.I’d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind.We’d gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock.I’d almost forgotten the windows even opened.We should not let this happen again.It’s time for us to change our habits if necessary.12 Why did the author and his wife try a new diet?A. To take special kinds of food.B. To respond to climate change.C. To lose weight.D. To improve their health.13. The underlined words“tipping points”most probably refer to “ ”.A. freezing points B. burning pointsC. melting points D. boiling points14. According to the passage,Tim Flannery .A. made deep cuts in his personal emission of CO2B. wrote a book about the climate changesC. succeeded in reducing CO2 emission by 80 percentD. was an author popular among readers15. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Saving Energy Starts at HomeB. Changing Our Habits Begins at WorkC. Changing Climate Sounds ReasonableD. Reducing Emission of CO2 Proves Difficult第二节 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Learning a language doesn’t happen in a day. ____16____ To get to the point when you can communicate with native speakers, you should pay attention to the following top tips given by successful language learners. •Study a little bit every day but efficientlyWhen you organize to learn a lot of vocabulary or study several grammar patterns that are pretty challenging, your mind can’t take all of them simultaneously (同时地). Therefore, it is better to start with little steps and learn a little bit every day. It is often more efficient to learn 10 new words every day instead of learning 100 new words in a day. ____17____•Don’t be afraid of making mistakesNo one likes making mistakes. It affects your confidence and you are embarrassed (尴尬的) especially if there are more people around you. But when you learn a foreign language, making mistakes is something quite normal and expected. If you make mistakes, it isn’t the end of the world. Try to learn from your mistakes. ____18____ Look at them as a learning tool that helps you never make those mistakes again. • Track Your ProgressChecking weekly or monthly progress against your language goals is highly-recommended. You might track the sentence structures learned, the phrases memorized, or the lectures followed. Being aware of your progress can help you see how much your efforts pay off. ____19____ This strategy will keep you motivated (受到激励的) to continue learning. ____20____ You, just like them, one day can be proud of yourself and your achievements in language learning.A. Make them useful experience.B. Try hard, and you will finally succeed.C. It takes a lot of time, organization, and effort.D. You won’t remember all the 100 words, after all.E. It is not only challenging but also full of fun when you enjoy it.F. You can also treat yourself with a small gift when you reach a new level.G. The previous tips are from successful language learners who gladly shared them with you.第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)请阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D中)，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。This morning I was walking with my husband when I noticed an elderly man was unstable(不 稳固的) on his feet.

Wandering on the street, he was not a successful seller. What’s worse, he found that he only had one dime left. His empty stomach reminded him constantly that for days he hadn’t eaten anything. He had no choice but to beg for a meal at the next house. Hesitantly he knocked at a door, thinking about what to say when it was opened. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. “What can I do for you?” asked the young woman. The boy paused for a while, “Would you please give me some...a drink of water?” the boy dared not to look directly into her eyes. She looked at the bony boy and thought he might need something to give him energy so she brought him a glass of milk. His head rising and small hands taking the cup, he drank it up slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied with a warm smile on her face. “My mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.”Deeply moved, he said sincerely, “Then I shall thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the whole human race. As a matter of fact, he was about to give up and quit before that point.Years later the young woman became critically ill. However, the local doctors were unable to give an effective medical treatment. Finally they sent her to a hospital in the big city, where specialists can be called in to cure her rare disease. Among those famous specialists, Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Dressed in his doctor’s gown, he went in to see her.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The bill was sent to her room.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
