It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity (创造力) has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish ‎ Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons, may before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration (调解) in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.‎ ‎  There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based on dogmatic ( 教条式的) statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them fanatically (狂热地) that they are willing to go to war in support of them.‎ ‎  The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace ( 老生长谈) that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb.‎ ‎  59 In the sentence "To do this, we need to persuade mankind... "(Line 6, Para.1 ), "this" refers to _________‎ ‎  A. solving international problems ‎  B. improving weapons ‎  C. abolishing war ‎  D. living a peaceful life ‎  60. The last paragraph suggests that_________‎ ‎  A. international agreements can be reached more easily now ‎  B. man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war ‎  C. nuclear war will definitely not take place ‎  D. world opinion welcomes nuclear war ‎  61. According to the author,_________.‎ ‎  A. war is the only way to solve international disputes ‎  B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons ‎  C. it is impossible for man to live without war ‎  D. war must be abolished if man wants to survive ‎ (C) ‎ ‎ A recent global survey of 2 000 high-net-worth individuals found that 60% were not planning on a traditional retirement. Among US participants, 75% expected to continue working in some capacity even after stepping away from full-time jobs.‎ ‎ "Many of these people made their wealth by doing something they're passionate (有激情的)about," says Daniel Egan, head of behavioral finance for Barclays Wealth Americas. "Given the choice, they prefer to continue working." Barclays calls these people “nevertirees”. ‎ Unlike many Americans compelled into early retirement by company restrictions, the average nevertiree often has no one forcing his hand. If 106-year-old investor Irving Kahn, head of his own family firm, wants to keep coming to work every day, who's going to stop him? Seventy-eight-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s job security is guaranteed in the Constitution. ‎ It may seem that these elderly people are trying to cheat death. In fact, they are. And it’s working. Howard Friedman, a professor at UC Riverside, found in his research that those who work hardest and are successful in their careers often live the longest lives. "People are generally being given bad advice to slow down, take it easy, stop worrying, and retire to Florida," he says. He described one study participant, still working at the age of 100, who was recently disappointed to see his son retire. ‎ ‎"We're beginning to see a change in how people view retirement," says George Leeson, co-director of the Institute of Population Ageing at Oxford. Where once retirement was seen as a brief reward after a long struggle through some miserable job, it is now akin (近似)to being cast aside. What Leeson terms "the Warren Buffett effect" is becoming more broadly appealing as individuals come to "view retirement as not simply being linked to economic productivity but also about contribution." ‎ Observers are split on whether this is a wholly good thing. On the one hand, companies and financial firms can benefit from the wisdom of a resilient (坚韧的)chief. On the other, the new generation can find it more difficult to advance—an argument that typically holds little sway to a nevertiree. ‎ ‎62. What is the finding of Howard Friedman’s research? ‎ A. The harder you work, the bigger your fortune will be. ‎ B. The earlier you retire, the healthier you will be. ‎ C. Elderly people have to slow down to live longer. ‎ D. Working at an advanced age lengthens people’s life. ‎ ‎63. What is the traditional view of retirement according to the passage? ‎ A. It means a burden to the younger generation. ‎ B. It is a symbol of a mature and civilized society. ‎ C. It is a compensation for one's life-long hard work. ‎ D. It helps increase a nation’s economic productivity. ‎ ‎64. What do critics say about "nevertirees"? ‎ A. They are an obstacle to a company’s development. ‎ B. They lack the creativity of the younger generation. ‎ C. They cannot work as efficiently as they used to. ‎ D. They prevent young people from getting ahead. ‎ D In creating A.J. Fikry’s ordinary-yet-extraordinary life, the author Gabielle Zevin has thrown every clichés(老生常谈) into the mix. The hero, A.J. Fikry, lost his beloved wife Nic in a road accident. The sales of his bookstore have been decreasing. The enthusiastic new sales representative Amelia won’t stop annoying him with new books. His rare and very valuable first edition has gone missing. But the unexpected arrival of Maya left in his care brings about a series of events with love and hope to his life. ‎ There are few real surprises in the plot and attentive readers will be able to tell where the story is headed. But that is not the point; the clichés and the predictable plot take nothing away from Zevin’s work The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry because it’s how she tells the story that first charms the readers, then holds their attention, making them read the whole book in a single sitting and finally give the book a long hug when they are finished. This book is a love letter to the joys of reading.‎ Each chapter begins with the title of a short story or a book and a note from A.J. Fikry describing what he likes about it, essentially introducing each character by what they read. The characters are so realistic that it’s hard not to fall in love with all of them: Maya, “the fantastic book-worm,” Amelia, “the giantess” with questionable taste in fashion, Lambiase, the adorable police chief, and A.J. Fikry, the reluctant hero who hates electronic reading devices that will “send centuries of a lively culture into what will surely be a rapid decline.” ‎ The passage of time, race issues, and the bureaucratic argument of children’s services are all put aside in the telling of this story, not because there’s anything to hide or because reality is not allowed to interfere, but because the author chooses to focus on the important stuff. For example, it focuses on Lambiase who organizes a reading club for policemen at the book store. His original intention is to help promote business, but over the years he becomes a genuine book-lover, one who tends to ‎ always have simple advice for his cynical(愤世嫉俗的) friend, A.J. Fikry. “Bad timing,” Lambiase claims, “I’ve been a police officer for twenty years now and I’ll tell you pretty much every bad thing in life is a result of bad timing, and every good thing is the result of good timing.” ‎ More than anything else, this novel is not only about the selling of them or the reading of them, but how books and stories become part of our lives, how we find ourselves within what we read and how we carry books with us. It is also about the power of unexpected happiness and always believing that something wonderful is just around the corner. The Late Bloomer is the book within a book which brings together A.J. Fikry and Amelia. It reminds them that life doesn’t follow a set script, things happen when they are meant to happen, and there is no such thing as “too late” for anything. Life is the big picture. Always look at the big picture. Enjoy it. Don’t get too concentrated on the details, because it will all be over before you know it. In the long run nobody, not even you, will remember the ordinary details because they are, in the end, quite irrelevant. ‎ A.J. Fikry’s final words of wisdom to teen-aged Maya convey the same feelings in literary terms: “We are not quite novels. We are not quite short stories. In the end, we are collected works. We have read enough to know there are no collections where each story is perfect. Some of us hit. Some miss.”‎ ‎65. The author’s attitude towards Zevin’s book is _________.‎ A. supportive B. critical C. objective D. indifferent ‎ ‎66. How many characters of the novel are mentioned in the passage?‎ A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.‎ ‎67. The police chief organizing a reading club is mentioned to prove _________ in the novel.‎ A. there is really nothing to hide B. reality is not allowed to interfere C. important stuff has been focused on D. everything is a result of timing ‎68. What can be implied in Paragraph 5?‎ A. The novel underlines happiness will always be around.‎ B. The novel mainly talks about the marketing of the book.‎ C. It is The Late Bloomer that brings A.J and Amelia together.‎ D. It is important to do things on the basis of overall situation.‎ ‎69. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph most probably means _________.‎ A. our life is full of ups and downs B. we should collect works all our life ‎ ‎ C. our life is closely connected with books D. we should read books all our life ‎ ‎70. The passage is mainly about _________.‎ A. the extraordinary life of A.J. Fikry B. the moral lesson of no “too late” in life ‎ C. a comment on The Later Bloomer D. a review of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry 第Ⅱ卷 (两部分 共35分)‎ 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)‎ 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。‎ Is Cash Becoming Outdated?‎ When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank, Barkhad Dahir doesn’t get out of his car. He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone, he pays for virtually everything he needs: groceries at the supermarket, a few oranges from a market stall, or a cup of sweet milky tea from a café. “Everyone here has his own bank with easy access,” boasts Mr. Dahir. “Even lying in bed, you can be paying your bills.”‎ Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide revenue to banks, credit card companies and payment processors, and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience. “I don’t even carry money any more,” says Adan Abokor, a democracy activist, “I haven’t seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant, even hawker (小贩) on the street, accepts payment by cellphone. There’s no waiting for it and no counting of cash.”‎ The system is impressively simple and secure. Purchases are made by dialing a three-digit number, entering a four-digit PIN, and then entering the retailer’s payment number and the amount of money. Both customer and merchant receive text messages to confirm the payment.‎ Clearing up cash payments has several advantages as well. The printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous and hard to track criminal activities to be conducted in secret. Many government favor reducing cash ‎ dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.‎ However, some people doubt what members of a cashless society do when the power goes off. Do they choose to barter (物物交换) and rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cell phones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency. “Ironically, the day after the largest bank in Norway, DNB, proposed ending all cash dealings, I went to my local grocery store and when I tried to pay by phone, I was told that I needed to go to the ATM to get cash because the system was broken.” said an interviewee.‎ Other people fear that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported. ‎ Privacy, security and convenience are all important factors in the adoption of electronic payment technology. New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable to remove cash.‎ Is Cash Becoming Outdated?‎ Passage outline Supporting details An example of electronic payments Barkhad Dahir claims that he can almost purchase (71) ▲ he needs by using his mobile phone.‎ Reasons for the (72) ▲ for electronic payments ‎● They can be more (73) ▲ without waiting in line or counting the cash, whose characteristics include (74) ▲ and simplicity.‎ ‎● They reduce the cost of printing money and allow the government to (75) ▲ cash activities.‎ Possible (76) ▲ of electronic payments ‎● Some people are (77) ▲ whether electronic payments can still be effective during times when the power goes off.‎ ‎● There are (78) ▲ that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks.‎ ‎● It is possible that electronic dealings can be (79) ▲ and reported for illegal use.‎ Conclusion Cash is not (80) ▲ to be completely replaced unless ‎ privacy, security and convenience are balanced and settled. ‎ 第五部分:书面表达 (满分25分)‎ 阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150左右的英语短文。‎ One day, a mother horse told her son, “My child, will you happily go and carry this bag of wheat to the mill (磨坊) to grind it into flour?” The little horse happily agreed without hesitation, and ran out of the house with a bag of wheat on his back. ‎ After quite a long journey, the little horse came to a river, which blocked his path to the mill. He suddenly got confused. Looking around, he saw a cow. So he asked the cow, “Auntie Cow, can you tell me whether I can cross the river?” The cow answered, “Definitely you can. The water is very shallow.” When the little horse was about to cross the river, a squirrel shouted to him, “Little horse, don’t cross the river. You will drown.” The little horse didn’t know what to do, so he decided to go back to ask his mother. ‎ After he told his mother everything that happened on his way, his mother said, “My child, it’s not enough to only listen to others; you have to give it a try by yourself, and then you’ll know the answer.”‎ With those words, he walked carefully across the river. The water was neither shallow nor deep. It was just fine for him.

Just as a saying goes, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. By frequent practices, our ancestors acquired a great amount of knowledge, transforming our world from a primitive society into a highly-developed one. Similarly, though we don’t know what future may have in store for us in our life or study, there is no sense in worrying about something unpredictable. Instead, we should courageously face up to challenges ourselves and overcome difficulties by trials and errors. ‎ ‎(亲身经历: 注意时态,事例必须符合主题亲身实践的重要性)It reminds of my experience of learning to skate. I doubted whether I was able to learn to skate because some of my friends said it was very easy while others found it quite difficult. Fortunately, my elder brother encouraged me to give it a try and so I did. Through constant practice I gradually master the skills of skating and eventually learned to skate.‎ ‎(重申亲身实践的重要性)From this experience, I am convinced that we should stick to our belief and keep practicing, regardless of different opinions from others. Only when we experience everything on our own can we discover truth and achieve success.‎
