Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. "How should a Nobel laureate dress?" asked Kazuo Ishiguro, who, 40 minutes earlier, had found out he 【1】(award) the Nobel Prize for Literature. To say the news was unexpected is an understatement. He literally couldn't believe it. Until that was, his phone began to ring constantly, an orderly queue of TV crews started to form outside his front door ("how do they all know where I live?"), and his publishers dispatched a top team to his house as back-up. This was not fake news. This was delightful, surprising news. Maybe there were others who 【2】 (win) instead, he wondered. "But that is the nature of prizes. They are a lottery." 【3】 chaos reigned around him, he was calm, assured and thoughtful, talking (after nipping upstairs to fetch a smart jacket for our interview) about his belief in the power of stories and 【4】 those that he wrote would often explore wasted lives and opportunities. "I've always had a faith that it should be possible, if you tell stories in a certain way, to transcend barriers of race, class and ethnicity." For me, he is one of the great living writers working in any language. All writers can tell stories. Ishiguro tells stories on 【5】 level. He places the reader in some sort of alternative reality - which might be the future, it might be the present, it might be the past. They feel like places that are whole and real, 【6】 you don't know them. They're weird and not necessarily happy places. But they're places that you can inhabit and relate to, and you become deeply involved with the characters. That's the writer's job---he just does it better than most.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. Now, let me say a few words to our American friends. Climate change is one of the major【1】of our time. It is already changing our daily lives but it is global. Everyone is impacted. And if we do nothing, our children will know a world of migrations, of wars, of shortage. A dangerous world. It is not the future we want for ourselves. It is not the future we want for our children. It is not the future we want for our world. Today, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced his decision to【2】the United States from the Paris Agreement. I do respect his decision, but I do think it is an actual mistake both for the US and for our planet. I just said it to President Trump, in a few words a few minutes ago this【3】. Tonight, I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history. To all the scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say they will find in France a second homeland. I call on them---come and work here with us, to work together on【4】solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you: France will not give up the fight. I reaffirm clearly that Paris agreement will remain irreversible and will be【5】not just by France, but by all the other nations. Over the coming hours, I will have the opportunity to speak with our main partners to define a common strategy and to launch new【6】. I already know that I can count on them. I call on you to remain confidence. We will succeed, because we are【7】, because wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility to make our planet great again.

A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not _______ anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅) where loved pets rest. It is possible that: Americans are unique in treating their little friends in this way, but the information we have suggests that the English, too, are _______ to their pets. This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food or at least, are _______ less nutrition. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, _______ veterinary(兽医的) bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel _______ with this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is _______ for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children. There are a variety of reasons why I find the popularity of British pets _______. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies—a disease with no known cure—that has made the English government impose strict _______ on animals coming into the United Kingdom. When the Spanish government recently _______ a number of stray dogs as protection against the same threat, English tourists immediately wrote letters to the newspapers ________about 'mass murder'. Another problem is the ________ of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just ________ it. This brings me to my last point. Pets, which run free, are often not ________ at all. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own. ________, I would only suggest that we have got our ________ wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it’s time we stopped being sentimental about pets. 【1】A.alert B.surprise C.disappoint D.interest 【2】A.kind B.polite C.subject D.available 【3】A.seldom B.far C.frequently D.totally 【4】A.in spite of B.regardless of C.not to mention D.rather than 【5】A.delighted B.patient C.mention D.unsatisfied 【6】A.usual B.natural C.concerned D.essential 【7】A.inevitable B.understandable C.ridiculous D.common 【8】A.orders B.punishments C.unacceptable D.restriction 【9】A.cured B.destroyed C.treatments D.drove 【10】A.inquiring B.caring C.enclosed D.complaining 【11】A.thoughtlessness B.hesitation C.worrying D.kindness 【12】A.isolate B.scold C.abandon D.bind 【13】A.funny B.sweet C.desert D.loving 【14】A.Nevertheless B.Moreover C.Therefore D.Meanwhile 【15】A.mind B.behavior C.love D.priority

18-year-old Kayla Perkins explains what is in her bedroom, “I throw something on the floor and I know right where it is.” However, her parents, Steve and Deborah Perkins, of McKinney, Texas, haven’t caught on. Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess. Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill(垃圾堆). The mess can disturb the whole household. Dirty clothes pile up; dirty dishes get lost in the mess and smell bad; homework is lost; and valuable things are ruined. Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. Others lecture their children, offer rewards for cleaning, or punish them when they don’t. What doesn’t work, parenting experts say, is constant lectures, verbal(口头的,言语的) threats or getting very angry. Mrs. Perkins says they picked up all the clothes on Kayla’s floor and hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back to a bare bedroom, there was screaming and shouting, “How can I live without my clothes?” Mrs. Perkins asked Kayla to earn her clothes back by doing housework. These days, she keeps her room clean. Humour can help, too. For example, since Jessica, the 14-year-old daughter wasn’t bothered by the dirty clothes all over her floor, the whole family started using her room as a place to store dirty clothes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gave in and cleaned up her room a few days later, even she was laughing. Parenting expert, Jim Fay, also recommends that parents first ask children in a nice way to clean up and agree on a reasonable time limit. Children often behave better if you treat them in the way you would want to be treated by your boss at work---with respect and high expectations. 【1】What is the best title of the passage? A.How to Make Children Clean up Their Bedrooms. B.Ways to Correct Children’s Bad Habits. C.Encourage Children to Share More Housework. D.Tips on Cleaning up the Room. 【2】Which of the following is true about Kayla? A.She often spends a lot of time looking for her clothes and books. B.She was grateful to her parents for cleaning up her room. C.She admitted her room sometimes was not tidy and needed cleaning. D.She was crazy when the whole family’s dirty clothes were in her room. 【3】According to the experts, when children’s room looks like a landfill, parents at first should __________. A.let children have their own private space B.lecture their children and give verbal threats C.set an example and offer rewards for cleaning D.ask them in a nice way and set a reasonable time limit 【4】What can we conclude from the passage? A.Playing hide-and-seek can help children change their attitude. B.Parents differ over their children’s bedroom cleaning. C.Children often behave better if parents treat them like bosses. D.Most children feel uncomfortable when their rooms are too clean.

You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. "They" did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. "They" are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as "they" are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth. Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish(沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives. In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are. 【1】According to Paragraph 2, creators_________. A.seem willing to experience failures in life B.possess the ability to predict future life C.handle ups and downs of life wisely D.have potential to create something new 【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A.Creators and victims face quite different things in life. B.Creators and victims are masters of their lives. C.Victims can influence more people than creators. D.Compared with victims, creators are more emotional. 【3】The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that_________. A.strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims. B.people need family support to deal with challengers in life. C.it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains. D.one's experiences determine his attitude toward life. 【4】What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? A.To define victims and creators. B.To evaluate victims against creators. C.To explain the relationship between victims and creators. D.To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.

America’s businesses are getting older and fatter, while many new businesses are dying in infancy. A study last month by the Brookings Institution found that the proportion of older firms has grown steadily over several decades, while the survival rate of new companies has fallen. In addition, young people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past. A new report from the National Association of Manufacturers shows a major cause: The cost of obeying government regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion (12.26 trillion yuan) annually, or 12 percent of the GDP, and this cost falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses. It’s risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. Governments are imposing various new rules on a seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in California, compulsory paid sick days for even hourly employees. These regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for larger companies. This is partly an unintended issue of resources---established companies can cope with new costs more easily---but it’s also deliberate. For instance, big insurance companies got a seat at the table to help write Obama care, but less politically powerful firms---like medical device manufacturers---got squeezed. Mature, successful corporations can employ ex-lawmakers with connections, distribute campaign contributions and even write regulations for themselves. They are also more likely to want to protect steady revenue streams than revolutionize their industry. Major companies that have been so ill-managed they would otherwise collapse---airlines, car companies and banks---stagger(蹒跚)on because politicians ride to the rescue with bags of taxpayer money. The genius of our unique system of government is the determination to protect and defend the rights of the individual over the rights of the nation. As such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy(寡头政治)that protects big business at the expense of small business, and the established over the new, is opposite to American ideals. Income inequality—which is directly caused by faulty government policy---is being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. But let’s be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winners and losers through regulations and financial aids. Politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and that’s as it should be, but the force of government should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificial monopolies(垄断)by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy. Policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that could be our bright future die in infancy. 【1】We can learn from the passage that___________. A.over several decades, new companies have grown steadily. B.mature, successful corporations prefer to maintain their stable incomes. C.less politically powerful firms also have their voice in making regulations. D.The cost of obeying government regulations falls equally on all businesses. 【2】We can infer from the last three paragraphs that__________. A.the state economy may depend on those innovative businesses. B.the rise of a well-connected oligarchy is contrary to American ideals. C.income inequality is what the government should take action to resolve. D.the government picks winners and losers through the law of free market. 【3】It can be concluded from the passage that___________. A.big insurance companies have better relationship with Obama. B.most of the ex-lawmakers work in mature, successful corporations. C.larger and older firms have a command of resources of various aspects. D.politicians like providing financial aids to the companies of worse operation. 【4】As to the development of smaller businesses, the writer is___________. A.contented. B.confident. C.convinced. D.concerned.

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”【1】. There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 【2】. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place. 【3】. 【4】. If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑)his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well. Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company. A. This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. B. People find jobs in an infinite number of ways. C. it’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor. E. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself. F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.
