A
I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival. She lives on the other side of the world, and I went to visit her, not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will. However, I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.
So I boarded the plane in mid-August, and hated the long flight. I arrived, tired and hungry. I had left my husband of 2 years, alone, in our old New Orleans house.
I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago. The hurricane was predicted to hit our city, and many people had already evacuated, but my husband chose to stay behind. He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world, but he could call his cousin in Chicago. He gave his cousin a message for me, that he would be just fine, and not to worry.
As the day wore on, I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans, and I realized, thanks to CNN, that New Orleans was under water.
I performed, hoping that my husband would survive. And I performed perfectly. The audience stood and applauded. I left the stage and went straight to the TV. I saw the street sign near my home, of Humanity Street, but nothing below it, except water.
In the days that followed, I found out that my house, my car, my clothes, my furniture, everything that I’d left behind was gone…but not my husband. He survived by riding on the rear bumper(后保险杠)of a VW bus, holding on to the overhead luggage rack, in the pouring rain, down the highway from New Orleans, half-way to Baton Rouge. The rest of the journey was a long walk, but he survived.
By the first week of September, I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport, and hugged my husband. Since then, our relationship has grown deeper; we have completely rebuilt our house, bought a new car, bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational, spirit-filled community.
56. Why did the author leave home?
A. To look after her sister. B. To attend a music festival.

Giraffes Are Being Killed for Their Tails
Documentary filmmaker David Hamlin recalls how excited he was at the sight of three giraffes standing in a small clearing when he was flying over the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Garamba National Park in late June. “Seeing these giraffes from the air was really exciting,” says Hamlin, who was working for National Geographic. That’s because Garamba is huge, extending over nearly 2,000 square miles of mostly forested land, and it’s a rare, lucky event to come across any of its 40 remaining giraffes.
But Hamlin’s thrill at seeing and photographing the giraffes didn’t last long. Twelve hours later, people looking after the national park reported hearing gunshots, and they later discovered three bullet-riddled bodies of dead giraffes in the sun. “It was horrible for me and the team,” Hamlin says “to realize that most likely it was these guys, the ones we’d seen.” Hamlin decided to document the sad event to raise awareness about illegally shooting animals in the park.
Garamba is Africa’s second oldest national park and has been hit hard by illegal shooting in recent years. Its rhinos have been wiped out, and elephants have suffered huge losses. The same goes for its Kordofan giraffes, one of Africa’s nine giraffe subspecies. Fewer than 2,000 now wander central Africa, according to Julian Fennessy, co-director of the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Garamba’s Kordofan giraffes represent the last population in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “If the number slips in half, then we’re in an extremely serious situation,” Fennessy says. “Every single giraffe is valuable.”
Congolese usually kill the giraffes for one body part, their tails, considered a rank symbol in some communities. Meanwhile men from neighboring South Sudan target the giraffes for their meat to feed poor villagers. But the massive bodies (giraffes can grow to 18 feet and weigh up to 3,000 pounds) of these three giraffes were complete — only the ends of their tails were missing. According to Leon Lamprecht, joint operations director for African Parks, “men use the tail as treasure to the bride’s father if they want to ask for the hand of a bride.” “What an absolute waste!” Lamprecht says.
64. What made Hamlin so excited when he was flying over the park?
A. Filming the huge national park.
B. Reporting the event in the air.
C. Picturing the running rhinos.
D. Spotting the rare animals.
65. What does the underlined part “the ones” refer to?
A. The filmmakers. B. The elephants. C. The giraffes. D. The hunters.
66. What did Hamlin decide to do after learning about the event?
A. Uncover the ancient African traditions and customs.
B. Call on people to protect the habitat of wild animals.
C. Improve people’s knowledge of preserving wild animals.
D. Become a volunteer in the animal conservation foundation.
【答案】DCC

2．词义猜测题。根据文章第一段的句子“Documentary filmmaker David Hamlin recalls how excited he was at the sight of three giraffes standing in a small clearing when he was flying over the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Garamba National Park in late June.”可知，David Hamlin在公园看见三只长颈鹿，接下来第二段介绍“Twelve hours later, people looking after the national park reported hearing gunshots, and they later discovered three bullet-riddled bodies of dead giraffes in the sun.”三只长颈鹿被杀害，David Hamlin说to realize that most likely it was these guys, the ones we’d seen.，他意识到很可能就是他看见的三只长颈鹿。故选C。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第二段的句子“Hamlin decided to document the sad event to raise awareness about illegally shooting animals in the park.”可知，知道这件事后，Hamlin决定提高人们对保护野生动物的意识。故选C。
【说明】文章介绍Garamba国家公园很多动物面临灭绝，现在长颈鹿正在被猎杀，只是为了它的尾巴。
D
Every year, thousands of new high school graduates pack their bags, move to new cities, and sign papers accepting loans, the money borrowed from a bank or lenders etc, which they might not be able to pay back. Without proper education on personal finance, especially as it relates to paying for college, young adults are guided into improper loan plans that result in years of debt after graduation. In order to set students up to succeed financially, it is important to educate students and parents on their financial options before school in the fall. The best way to support families heading for college is to require that every high school student take a personal finance
class before graduation. This will help smooth the transition into adulthood.
The average student takes out at least one loan to cover the costs of their education each year. In 2014 the average student graduating from college carried a negative balance of about $20,000 in debt, which often spread over multiple lenders. Upon graduation, students rarely know exactly how much money they owe, and even though they are in the state of being unable to pay their debts, they cannot wipe out student loans. These students spend much of their adult lives paying off the gradual increasing debts.
A personal finance course would teach students how to manage their income and expenditures, while helping to significantly reduce the amount of debt students carry into adulthood. By teaching students how to save money and live within their means, this course will provide the next generation with a foundation to progress financially. Students choosing to get a job straight out of high school would also benefit from finance education for these very reasons. With education on how to manage their finances, all young people will have the knowledge to make healthy decisions, leading them to improve good credit and purchase needed items like cars and homes with skill and confidence.
While not every young person makes financial mistakes, those who do can face years of difficulty trying to get their finances back under control. Rather than help them through these hard times when they happen, we should try to prevent them from happening at all. Making the completion of personal finance coursework a requirement for graduation would ensure that young people are at least aware of the basics of preserving a financial stability.
67. After graduation from college, many young people ______.
A. struggle to support their families
B. spend years paying off their debts
C. get through the hard times smoothly
D. are able to manage their own finances well
68. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Ways to improve financial credits.
B. Advantages of taking a finance course.
C. Skills of balancing income and expenditures.

Network With Ease
Networking is very important in our daily lives. Often the best jobs and opportunities are not advertised but filled by word of mouth. With this in mind, a good idea is to go and find them yourself. How is this done? By the simple process of networking.
A number of people feel networking is a waste of time and it has no effect on personal relationships or being successful in your business. ___71___ Relationships and business have been built via the networking process for hundreds of years.
Networking is not about meeting hundreds of people, communicating with them and then never meeting them again. It’s about getting to know each other and finding out if you are able to make the relationship beneficial for both of you. If you aren’t able to – then see if you can introduce them to someone more well-matched to their business.
___72___ One day she decided to donate one of her articles to the local newspaper so it could be published and people around the world could have the chance to read it. The article focused on an event, which was coming up and was hosted by a woman’s publishing group. The group not only liked the article, but also appreciated what she had done, so they recommended her to a national magazine. ___73___ This example shows how networking can be done easily, if well thought out. Touching base with a few people can in fact lead to reaching many.
___74___ I heard a story of someone recommending a friend for a teaching position with a nonprofit organization. Interestingly enough after getting the position, he returned the favor by referring his friend into a job he had heard about. How funny things work out!
When looking for a new job, it may be worth joining a networking group focusing on the sector of business you are interested in. It’s a great way to meet people, do research into companies by asking questions of those people who work there. ___75___
The examples above show that in order to network effectively and in an efficient manner, you do not need to be outgoing or know a lot of people. All it requires is being creative, listening well, asking relevant questions and developing a good reputation with others. You would be amazed at how many doors will open for you.
A. This concept is completely incorrect.
B. Family and friends are the easiest and best way to increase your network .
C. Often the opportunity may just be within that particular networking group.
D. So now, not only does she get to write regular articles, she also gets paid for it.
E. Getting in touch with your friends and your colleagues often helps you build a larger network.
F. A simple example of how easy networking can be is the example of a woman who used to love writing articles.
G. By referring your friends or relatives whom you think are well suited for a job is another way to network.
【答案】AFDGC
【解析】1．根据上文“A number of people feel networking is a waste of time and it has no effect on personal relationships or being successful in your business.”可知，很多人认为人际网没有用，而下文的“Relationships and business have been built via the networking process for hundreds of years.”说明人际网是有用的，所以承上启下的句子是“This concept is completely incorrect.”。故选A。
2．根据下文“One day she decided to donate one of her articles to the local newspaper”可知，这里拿一个女性举例，F项A simple example of how easy networking can be is the example of a woman who used to love writing articles.就是提出这个例子，承接下文。故选F。
3．根据上文“The group not only liked the article, but also appreciated what she had done, so they recommended her to a national magazine.”可知，这个女子写的文章很受欢迎，下文应该是她得到什么益处，D项So now, not only does she get to write regular articles, she also gets paid for it.就是关于她的益处。故选D。
4．根据下文“Interestingly enough after getting the position, he returned the favor by referring his friend into a job he had heard about.”可知，上文是推荐你的朋友或亲戚做适合的工作。故选G。
5．根据上文“When looking for a new job, it may be worth joining a networking group focusing on the sector of business you are interested in.” a networking group是关键词。下文应该是C项：机会就在那个特殊的人际网群体里面。故选C。
【说明】人们对人际网有没有用处有不同的看法，作者认为我们可以通过人际网接触更多的人并找到适合的工作。

（请务必将作文写在答题卡指定区域内）
【答案】Dear Jim,
It’s great to hear from you. It’s really a good idea for us to share our favourite books with each other.
My favourite book is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn written by Betty Smith. It tells the story of Francie Nolan, an adolescent girl who grows up in a poor immigrant family in Brooklyn. Her mother favors her little brother, while his father is always drunk. Life is hard for her. However, reading brings her great pleasure. Thanks to the books, she finds a way to endure poverty and loneliness, surviving all the difficulties and challenges.
What I’ve learned from this book is that though life is tough sometimes, as long as we’re determined to rise above difficult circumstances, life can be hopeful and colorful. This book encourages me to keep optimistic about life and gives me courage to face difficulties. It certainly deserves to read.
Looking forward to learning about your favourite book.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】Last Monday I had an unforgettable experience. I watched the launch of Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft on TV at school.
Early in the morning, we gathered on the playground anxiously waiting for the launch. We all looked at the big screen attentively. Hearing “5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Ignite! Go!”, I felt my heart beating fast. With a mass of orange flames, the spacecraft gradually flew into space, carrying our Chinese Dream. The moment it was announced that the launch was successfully accomplished, we burst into applause. We were so thrilled that we jumped, cheering the launch.
Later that day, we had a heated discussion about what to do to celebrate the launch. We finally reached an agreement to make a wall newspaper. When the designing was done, we set about working on it. All of us did our bit and the wall newspaper was soon finished.
I’ll never forget this precious moment. The magnificent launch not only impresses us deeply but motivates us to do our best at school so that we can also make some contributions to our country.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to New Hope Language School. My name is John Baker, principal of the school. I want to congratulate you on getting this opportunity to experience real American life with a host family for a month. Well, it’s already 9 a.m., so I’ll quickly describe your timetable for today, and then all of you will meet your host families. After meeting your host families, you will have a short break for about fifteen minutes. Your lecture will last from 9:30 to11:30, and it will be in Room 108. It will give a brief overview of the American education system. After the lecture, your host family will be waiting outside to pick you up for lunch. You will stay with your host family all afternoon, so they will show you around the city until 4 or 5 p.m. After that you will all meet back here. If you have any problems with your host family, please come and tell me at that time. I really hope that you will have a good time with your host families and learn how to make friends in American society.
