There is no such thing as a perfect woman, and Nothing But Thirty screenwriter Zhang Yingji wanted to convey this message in telling the stories of three different women, who have found very different ways to climb their own mountains.

Wang Manni is a woman who will climb any mountain as long as she finds it challenging. Zhong Xiaoqin is one who will only climb if she has someone to go along with her. She will not overexert herself, and she will definitely stop once she has reached a comfortable place. Gu Jia, on the other hand, has already started to think about reaching the peak before she even starts the climb, regardless of whether she is alone or has company.

In a sense, the scriptwriter purposely created Gu Jia as the perfect woman of thirty. She is married, with a successful husband and a young son. She is living the dream, but Gu Jia does not feel complete. She feels lost. She is flawed. She has episodes of succumbing to her own greed and disregard to those around her.

“She is someone who chases alter perfection.” said Tong Yao (who portrays Gu Jia). “Obviously, this is stressful for those around her. She hides things. She isn’t perfect, but in front of others, she has to stay perfect.”

Her chase for perfection and her stubbornness to maintain this image has effected many of the relationships in her life. She chases after what she believes is right for others. Because of this, she and her husband start to see and value things differently, which puts a strain on their relationship.

Gu Jia’s personal struggles give life to the character. Many viewers are able to relate to her, and, through her character, find a shadow of themselves. There’s still a lot left that we can learn from the women of Nothing but Thirty, but maybe like them, we too can find the courage in ourselves to walk on that road which is truly meant for us.

24．According to the article, which of the following best describes Zhong Xiaoqin’s personality?

A．Ambitious and goal-driven B．Moderate and content

C．Aimless and impulsive D．Visionary and independent

25．According to Paragraph 3, what is not true about Gu Jia’s life?

A．She has her own worries and insecurities.

B．She leads a seemingly perfect and enviable life.

C．She can be greedy and insensitive to others’ feelings.

D．She is discontented with life because of her husband.

26．According to the passage, audiences have a preference for Gu Jia mainly because she ________.

A．is a perfectionist B．stands up to her husband

C．balances her work and life well D．displays some identifiable traits

27．What is the main purpose of this passage?

A．To call attention to the rise of feminism.

B．To introduce the plot of Nothing but Thirty.

C．To contrast the main characters of Nothing but Thirty.

D．To encourage viewers to find inspiration in Nothing but Thirty.

C

Humans are not the only ones that like gold. Australian scientists have discovered a new fungus (真菌) that decorates its long, thread-like tendrils (卷须) with gold collected from the soil. The experts desperately hope the “gold digger” will provide information on the locations of gold deposits  and make searching for the precious metal easier, and more environmentally friendly.

The gold-loving fungus was discovered accidentally by a team of researchers led by Dr. Tsing Bohu, a scientist at Australia national science agency, CSIRO, when they were examining the microbes (微生物) in the soil at Boddington, a tiny town home to Australia's largest gold mine.

A closer analysis suggested that the fungus uses chemical interactions with underground minerals to accumulate gold from its surroundings. Though fungi often interact with other things in nature, the reaction with gold was unexpected. “Fungi are well-known for playing an important role in the recycling of organic material, such as leaves and bark, as well as for the cycling of other metals,” Dr. Bohu explained. “But gold is so chemically inactive that this interaction is both unusual and surprising.”

The fungi are not wearing the gold for beauty. “There is a biological benefit from this reaction.” Dr. Bohu said, “Gold-loving fungi can grow faster and bigger relative to other fungi that don’t work with gold.”

The researchers still need to conduct further analysis to understand the relationship between the fungi and the precious metal. More importantly, they need to determine if its presence is a sure sign of the existence of large deposits of the metal underground. The scientists also believe the fungi could be used to detect the presence of gold in waste products and man-made electronics.

However, those hoping to get free gold from the fungi are in for a disappointment, for the delicate fungus is hard to see. Also, its gold can only be seen under a microscope.

28．What do the experts hope for?

A．Investigating the sites. B．Excavating the gold mines.

C．Getting further informed. D．Unearthing gold deposits.

29．What could be learned according to Dr. Bohu?

A．Fungi’s interaction with gold is unexpected but beneficial.

B．Gold’s classification is biologically identified by fungi.

C．Fungi’s formation with gold is fairly natural and frequent.

D．Gold is chemically accumulated by fungi’s evolution.

30．How does the author find the finding?

A．It excites the gold diggers’ motivation.

B．It has a long way to go before confirmation.

C．It lays the foundation of geological studies.

D．It ensures the search of gold sites.

31．What can be the suitable title for the text?

A．Beauty-loving Fungi Wrapped by Gold

B．Gold-loving Fungi Discovered in Australia

C．Boddington, Austria’s Largest Gold Mine

D．New Discovery of Gold with Fungi

D

 In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.

The workers and employees are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.

Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness (顺从) and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.

Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.

32．By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is ________.

A．expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society

B．a replaceable component of society, though functioning smoothly

C．responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations

D．an essential part of society though individual’s function is insignificant

33．The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that ________.

A．they are forced to give up their individuality and independence

B．they are filled with the well-founded fear of being unemployed

C．they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest in real life

D．they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence

34．From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those who _____.

A．hold well-paid and life-long jobsB．enjoy high social status and reputation

C．outperform their fellow-competitorsD．stay away from over-competitiveness

35．To solve the present social problems the author suggests the we should ________.

A．turn to the production mode of our ancestors

B．offer higher wages to workers and employees

C．enable man to fully develop his potentialities

D．take the fundamental realities for granted

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

For most people, life has become a burden on their shoulders, and its weight is growing heavier and heavier, until one day they can’t carry it anymore. So how can we design a life that is less complex and more meaningful? With minimalism (极简主义). __36___ The following ways will assist you in your journey to living a simper yet fuller life.

__37___ Most people’s living space is filled with things that are never used and don’t contribute to their well-being. Separate the ones you do need from the ones you don’t, and throw the latter right into the dustbin — or better, give them away to people who might actually benefit from them.

Appreciate all the amazing things you already have. We constantly compare ourselves to others who seem happier, more beautiful and more important than us. We try our best to imitate those we envy. _38____ We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are, with all our imperfections. Take a moment to appreciate what you have.

Do one thing at a time. Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each and every moment. We’re usually carrying out different tasks at the same time. So whatever we are doing, our mind is partly wondering somewhere else. ___39___

Develop mindfulness. ___40___ Thus you need to develop mindfulness. Mindfulness means fully attending to what’s happening in the present. There are many ways one can do so. Perhaps the most common way is to sit for about 30 minutes somewhere comfortably with your upper back straight and pay full attention to your breath as it’s coming in and out through your nose. In this way, you won’t be distracted by your thoughts.

A. It is about enjoying life more with less.

B. Stop consuming products you don’t need.

C. Yet no matter how much we try, we always fail.

D. Get rid of things that don’t serve your happiness.

E.minimalist living requires a calm and undisturbed mind.

F.Stop multitasking and concentrate on a single thing at a time.

G.Unfortunately, our minds are filled with worries in our busy lives.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

There are now well over 1,000 colleges and universities that don’t require SAT or ACT scores in deciding whom to admit, a number that is growing every year.   56   new study finds that scores on these tests are of little value in predicting students’ performance in college, and    57   (raise) the question: Should those tests be required at all?

When a college considers test-optional admissions policies, the first   58   (react) people feel is that the college will admit less   59   (qualify) students. Actually, more students from diverse backgrounds   60   (admit) to colleges abolishing test scores and students graduate at a higher rate.   61  , some researchers question the impact the policies have had   62   schools. They argue that   63   the study is showing can’t prove test scores can be an obstacle for students. But two    64   (year) worth of data clearly indicate that students who go into university with high test scores perform no better than their fellow students. So the    65   (add) value of test scores in predicting performance is minimal.

If a college wants to do a better job serving traditionally under-served populations, test optional policies can provide a very useful tool.

67. 下面材料，根据其内容和段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A few senior high students were going to Fort Lauderdale with sandwiches and drinks in the paper bags, dreaming of the golden beaches as the gray cold of New York vanished behind them. As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice a man, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age. He fixed his eyes on the photo in his hands, frozen into some personal cocoon of silence.

Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, and everybody got off except the man. He sat rooted in his seat, and the students began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home. When they went back to the bus, one of the students sat beside him and introduced himself.

"We’re going to Florida," the student said brightly. “I hear it’s really beautiful."

“It is,” the man said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget.

"Want some bread?" the student said. He smiled and took a piece. He thanked him and retreated again into his silence. After a while, the man told his story slowly and painfully.

His name was Vingo，he had been in prison in New York for the past four years，and now he was going home. " When I was in prison I wrote to my wife," he said "I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn't stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, if it hurt too much, she could just forget me, I'd understand,"

“Last week，knowing I would be free, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick and there's a big oak tree just as you come into town. I told her that if she would take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I'd get off and come home with her. If she didn't accept me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I'd go on through."

"Wow," the student exclaimed and gazed at the photo in his hands. All the other students were into it.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1:

In the photo, the students saw a young woman with two little children standing before an oak tree._____________________________________________________________________________
