Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.
—Martin Luther King
I agree with King’s statement and argue while academic achievement is an essential 36of education, developing the self-respect, confidence and character of our children is 37 important.
My journey as a(n) 38 began 13 years ago. I had just graduated from Boston College and I was 39 about teaching and inspiring children from my community.
However, I quickly became40 of the challenges that often prevented children from making the most of their education. While insufficient 41such as books and technology are commonly regarded as the leading factors impacting student performance42, I discovered that low self-respect and lack of confidence are more damaging.
My students’ struggles with low self-respect43 my memory thatwhen I was young I wouldbe 44
and considered unattractivebecause I had dark skin, tightly coiled hair and high cheekbones.
My students’struggles,45 with my own experience, forced me to write a song called “My Black Is Beautiful” in a(n)46 to change the way young girls of color view themselves.
Since the 47 of social media, developing the self-respect and confidence of our children has become more 48, not less. Students are being exposed to images of beauty that do not 49 who they are, reminding them they do not fit society’s beauty standard.
After years of observing many students struggling with low self-respect and confidence, I began to integrate ways to 50 the problem in my teaching. Although it 51 me there were no standardized methodologies 52 to handle these issues, it didn’t discourage me from developing my own curriculum to motivate students to believe in themselves.
So I decided to write a song, and53twelve of my students in its music video. In this way, I attempted to inspire them to embrace their natural beauty and to 54the message tothem that beauty does not always meet with a single, 55 standard.
Differencesin skin colors, hair textures, shapes and sizes are not deficiencies but rather assets that make us beautiful and unique.

GOT OLD PHONES?
HERE’S HOW TO REUSE,
RECYCLE OR SELL THEM
It’s natural to get the phone-upgrade thirst when the likes of Apple, Samsung and others keep coming out with newer models. But what do you do with a serviceable but outdated device? Here’s a
guide for figuring out what you might do with last year’s model (or even older ones).
DONATE TO CHARITY
Several charities accept old phones as a donation. But these groups probably won’t physically give your old phones to people in need. Instead, they’ll often sell your phone to recyclers and keep the money which goes towards daily management. Nearly 60 percent of the phones charities collect are resold, according to a recent survey. They will pay for shipping if you are mailing three or more phones.
SELL SELL SELL
Once new models come out, older ones will flood onto eBay and other resale sites. How much money you can make off your old phone depends on the brand and how much wear and tear it’s seen.
The resale site Gazelle, for example, is offering $140 for a Verizon-ready Samsung Galaxy S7 in “good” condition. What does “good” mean? The phone has no cracks on the screen or body, powers on and makes calls, and is free of major scratches. A “perfect” phone that looks like it’s never been used will land you $15 more.
REUSE, REPURPOSE
Even without cellular service, your old phone will be able to get on Wi-Fi, so you can use it to post on Facebook or do pretty much anything else you want provided you are in Wi-Fi range. Keep it for yourself, give it to a broke friend, or load it up with kid-friendly apps and games and hand it down to your children. Or just keep it as a backup in case something horrible happens to your main phone.
56. Why do charities choose to sell a large proportion of their donations?
A. Their management has made such a decision.
B. They need the earnings to cover their daily expenses.
C. The donations they have received exceed what they need.
D. They can earn more profits without paying for shipping.
57. Which of the following is TRUE about old models?
A. Old models crowd onto online resale sites before new models are launched.
B. The better condition old models are in, the higher price they will fetch.
C. The old models handed down to your kids should be able to get on Wi-Fi.
D. You should always have an old model at hand in case your main phone fails.
B
The idea of exploring the past through the human history of a single crop has been around for a while. What is striking about James Walvin’s new book is that, while focusing only on sugar, it does not restrict itself to the past. Rather, the book takes the story of perhaps the most popular crop of all time and brings it disturbingly into the present day.
Walvin begins his research where most of us begin our relationship with the stuff: the sweet shops of childhood memory. If sugar is a guilty pleasure then it is one with which almost every one of us is drunk on a daily basis. The unstoppable march of sugar raises the question: why? After all, sugar cane(甘蔗)is difficult to grow and the processes of refinement and clarification required to produce eatable sugar are time-consuming and expensive. Yet, as Walvin explains, sugar has one enormous temptation: it satisfies our seemingly born desire for sweet tastes, but the satisfaction that sugar provides comes at a terrible cost, both to those who produce it and those who consume it.
Sugar changed world history more profoundly than any other crop. It fuelled the Atlantic slave trade and the African wars. We’re familiar with the story of how millions of enslaved Africans were
transported to the Caribbean, the US and Brazil, but the growing global demand for sugar also led to the migrations of other groups. The profitability of sugar production also inspired American producers to ship thousands of poor Indians from their homeland to the Caribbean, South America and Fiji as well as Japanese peasants to plantations in Hawaii. The story of sugar, then, is not just one of changing diets and expanding waistlines, but also one of mass migrations—both forced and voluntary, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Sugar’s story in the 20th and 21st centuries can only be told with reference to the development of American agricultural businesses and the giant food corporations, most notably the Coca-Cola Company. The modern anti-sugar movement is demanding better labelling and the reduction of sugar in foods and drinks targeted at children.
The sugar industry stands today where the tobacco corporations stood in the 1960s, accused of knowingly contributing to a global health crisis and obesity. This is just the latest moral crisis faced by the food giants of the sweet stuff.
58. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Walvin’s book focuses only on sugar in the past.
B. History of sugar is investigated for its destructive effects.
C. Walvin’s book coversstories from the past to the present day.
D. A single crop can reflect the whole course of human history.
59. By mentioning migrations of differentgroups, the author aims to ________.
A. illustrate the difficulty of sugar cane plantation
B. criticize the greed of American sugar producers
C. confirm the huge impact of sugar on human history
D. explain the reasons for slave trade and African wars
60. What attitude does the author hold towards sugar according to the passage?
A. Critical. B. Ambiguous. C. Casual. D. Favorable.
C
The most eye-catching part of the government’s recent air-quality strategy is to ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2040. The reason behind the government’s strategy is poor air quality, which is thought to be linked to about 40,000 premature deaths a year.
Client Earth, the campaign group leading the call for reform, has described the ban as “not enough”. It emphasises that clean air zones and sustainable transport infrastructures both work, and can be implemented more quickly. Even so, some argue that the target is too soon. The motor industry, however, does not argue that the cars won’t be ready in time. This is unsurprising, given that Tesla already has an all-electric model, most manufacturers have at least one hybrid (混动汽车)on sale.
The voices of disagreement offer three main arguments: electric vehicles don’t reduce greenhouse gas emissions; we don’t have enough power available; and there are not enough essential materials like lithium(锂)which support most new electric vehicle battery technologies.
The first two arguments are closely related. The problem is not the absolute amount of electric vehicles on the road but when we charge them. The issue is “peak demand”. We design our electricity infrastructure systems to ensure these peaks are covered. Peak demand in the UK is between 5pm and 7pm in winter. This is usually when electricity is at its most “dirty”, as this is when we need almost all of our generating(发电)capacity, including the old coal plants, diesel back-up generation and gas. Without managed charging, drivers plugging the car in on return from
work face using diesel engines and coal-derived power to charge vehicles. Hardly a win for air quality or climate change.
The last problem, material availability, is trickier. Lithium and the rare earth metals used in electric vehicles present problems. It’s not only a question of whether there are enough of these materials, but also their toxicity, convenience of recycling and their geopolitical availability of their supply chains. Much like the issue of peak demand, without strong policy and behavioural and technical advances, we could easily see the rise of global conflict and exploitation around the critical materials for electric mobility.
While a ban on petrol and diesel car sales in 2040 is easily achievable, what really matters is how well the above issues are dealt with. Electric cars do nothing for traffic jams. Their power source needs careful management, and their supply chains may be no less problematic than those of petrochemical fuels. Conversely, they can reduce air pollution and help meet climate change commitments. Like many technical solutions they need strong regulation around them. We should improve our dialogue on electric mobility, seeking clear government policy on energy market integration and strong standards on material sustainability.
61. The underlined word “implemented” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. abolished B. conducted C. replaced D. updated
62. What can we infer from the calm reaction from the motor industry?
A. All manufacturers have already had at least one electriccar on sale.
B. The motor industry plans to focus on sustainable transport infrastructures.
C. The motor industry has already adjusted its products to reduce air pollution.
D. The recent air-quality strategy is unrealistic and impossible to follow.
63. According to the author, the best time to get your car charged is ________.
A. when “peak demand” ends B. directly after returning from work
C. when other people do D. right before moving to work
64. Which of the following best expresses the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 6?
A. Careful management is likely to address the problems with both types of cars.
B. It seems that currently petrol and diesel cars are more problematic than electric cars.
C. Petrol and diesel cars and electric vehicles seem to face the same problems nowadays.
D. Currently electric vehicles seem to face more problems than petrol and diesel cars do.
D
A story of a young Hemingway who is poor and living in Paris, AMoveable Feast is a novel-cum-memoir(回忆体小说)of the writer. The book is also a tribute to the numerous characters he meets.
Hemingway projects himself to us as a young man. He examines his younger self and his weaknesses, but we also get a sense of homesickness for the struggle and hardship that characterized his introduction into a writer’s life in literature.
The book is often hilariously funny, as well as incredibly touching. The novel is a tour of many of the great figures in modern literary history, and a remarkable recall of their carefree lifestyle.
A Moveable Feast is more a series of anecdotes than any attempt at a rather logic narrative. It moves from subject to subject, creating miniature portraits and taking in the atmosphere of Paris at the time. Rather than concentrating on himself, Hemingway prefers to point his fiction outwards, examining early friends and acquaintances with breath-taking detail.
The figures which he depicts include Ford Maddox Ford, Ezra Pound, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and
Gertrude Stein. Stein, in particular, stands out in the book as a grand madam of letters—a great teacher to Hemingway, a distinguished innovator in literature, and just a little bit crazy.
She enjoys the power she projected over people. Hemingway sees her as a self-serving, self-satisfied unpleasant old lady, but he still makes her seem somehow likable.
There is also a series of interesting anecdotes regarding the young F. Scott Fitzgerald and his troubled relationship with his wife. In one anecdote, Hemingway and Fitzgerald go on a road trip.On a particularly lonely evening, they go to a restaurant, where Fitzgerald tells his friend that Fitzgerald’s wife is jealous (and, actually severely mentally ill). She picks away at his confidence so much so that he is frustrated. Fitzgerald asks Hemingway to reassure him.
The book is brilliant for literary gossip, but A Moveable Feast is also an extended meditation (冥想)on Hemingway’s transition to becoming a great writer. He also discusses how he believes writing should be performed. He puts great emphasis on subconscious processes. He sets aside time to work on his stories, does his best not to think about them at other times, and aims at writing truthfully.
Hemingway’s modus operandi(手法)in literature—his plain sentences, his simple structure, his close observation of the ways of the world—are boiled down to one central principle in this book: do your best to write what is true. Hemingway suggests that if that’s the only thing one can do when writing, then you will be well on your way to writing something that is good.
And that is probably the key to the success of A Moveable Feast. I think there is no author that makes you want to write more than Hemingway; every sentence he writes seems to suggest a joy.
In his memoirs, however, he creates a shell around that feeling. He presents a life that, despite its hardships (in the early part of his career he often felt hungry because he wasn’t eating enough), is definitely attractive.
Wandering around the streets of Paris, sitting in cafés with a notebook and a pencil, and attempting to fix the world with words are the meat and bones of this interesting self-portrait. Smart, brilliant, at times incredibly touching, A Moveable Feast is the product of a great master looking back through the mists of time and desperately wishing for a youth that was long past.
65. What can best summarize the feature of Hemingway’s early literary life?
A. Reward. B. Struggle. C. Progress. D. Freshness.
66. How did Hemingway develop this book?
A. By organizing events in a rather logic order.
B. By centering events around his private life.
C. By listing funny stories about different subjects.
D. By examining details with his friends.
67. What is special with regard to Gertrude Stein?
A. She is crazy about innovation in literature.
B. She is usually selfish and sometimes jealous.
C. She is generous to give others guidance on literature.
D. She is helpful in improving Hemingway’s writing.
68. The principle that Hemingway sticks to in his writing is to ________.
A. describe things as they are B. mix up fantasy with facts
C. let his mind flow freely D. stress detailed observations of the world
69. When did Hemingway start writing this book?
A. Well after he established his reputation. B. While he was living in Paris, France.
C. Before he moved back to the USA. D. Shortly after he entered the literary world.
70. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. A chance to meet great literary figures B. A glimpse into Hemingway’s life
C. A memoir of Hemingway’s friends D. A pathway to international fame

These days, it should come as no surprise that improving higher-education outcomes requires limiting high ambition with sometimes harsh (严峻的) realism. Students need more options and pathways to success, and more active guidance toward the best decisions considering their individual prospects and labor-market realities.
We’ve tried to keep all doors open for all students, but we’ve created a system that provides inadequate guidance and poor options for many, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Many of them arrive at college unprepared for academic work, burdened by financial difficulties and a lack of knowledge of the world of higher education, and bound to work full-time to support their families.
The characteristics of the institutions students from disadvantaged backgrounds attend often worsen their difficulties. Community and technical colleges receive too little funding from states. They also face too low amotive to respond to labor-market forces by expanding capacity in occupational or work-force programs in fields with strong labor-market demand.
In addition, many institutions provide students with too little structure, allowing them to wander aimlessly, with little direction or knowledge of what they want to do, and with very little academic or career consulting to guide them. Thus, many end up in general studies. Choosing a path to a certificate or associate degree in a high-demand occupation increases a student’s chances of earning a qualification with high labor-market value, but most are never told of these possibilities.
Changing these outcomes will require more and better supports for students with barriers to overcome, but it will also require strengthening institutions so they have the structure and the resources needed to promote success among their students. It will require helping students make better choices about which college to attend and what to study—and about whether a purely academic path right after high school is best for them.
Evidence is accumulating that restructuring developmental education, by tailoringrequirements to what students plan to study and integrating this work with for-credit classes, can increase academic success.
More dollars for students to cover their expenses are, of course, important. But simplifying the financial-aid system, making it more flexible, and building in better motives for student performance could make it much more effective. Experiments that allow financial aid to be used for noncredit programs in high-demand fields, with carefully designed limits to protect program quality and integrity, have the potential to strengthen opportunities for students.
Early education for all students about careers and the labor market is essential to helping students reach their goals, as is developing a range of high-quality career and technical pathways that start in high school—including apprenticeships(学徒)and other forms of work-based learning—so students with weaker academic skills can also earn qualifications and get good jobs.
Policy makers and postsecondary institutions have a responsibility to implement constructive change; opening the doors of college to all who can benefit is a good start—but it’s far from sufficient. We must meet students where they are and recognize the impact of their circumstances on their chances
for success.

81. 请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Have you ever thought life would be better anywhere other than where you are right now? Maybe some of your thoughts go something like this:Life will be better once I’m out of debt.I can’t wait until I’m retired because then I can do what I want when I want.If only I lived somewhere warm I could exercise all year round and I would be so fit.If I could just lose 10 pounds I know I would feel better.
Truth is some of your problems may go away once you have met all of your “if only” and “better when’s”, but it won’t make the perfect life that fairy tales are made of. New problems will arise and you’ll likely find yourself wishing for this “perfect” life to be different still. We can only imagine that the grass will be greener on the other side because it’s only when we live it do we actually see it for what it really is.
Whatever ideal you have in mind about an alternate lifestyle, location, financial situation etc ... rest assured that each one will be met with its own unique set of problems.
So what can you do about this? Choose to be content with what you already have.
It’s great to dream big. But those dreams should not cloud the greatness you have in front of you right now. Consider the truth in the grass being the greenest right under your feet.

第五部分 书面表达（满分25分）
One possible version:
It is common for people to expect a different life, which they believe is perfect. Consequently, they fail to live their current life faithfully and cherish what they have possessed.
As a senior student, I am often faced with such problems. For instance, I want to escape from reality, which is tough and full of competition. I am desperate to leave my parents for freedom. In fact, I ignore the fact that the dissatisfaction with current situation is the root cause of unhappiness.
From what has been talked about, we may reasonably arrive at the conclusion that happiness is not about getting all we want, but about enjoying all we have. We should make every minute count to trade for something of value. Additionally, be grateful for our life with all its lessons and blessings. Only when we cherish everything and everyone we encounter today can we live our life happily.

阅读理解
A篇
【文章大意】这是一篇关于回收以及再利用旧手机的文章。
56. B. 需要理解题目中的proportion一词的意思，根据设问中的charity定位到原文中“Instead, they’ll often sell your phone to recyclers and keep the money which goes towards daily management.”
57. B. 考察SELL和REUSE这两小节的细节理解。A错在时间先后顺序，B
为正确答案，根据SELL一段中针对good和perfect两次的描述可知。C则为给孩子的手机需要的是apps and games，D则曲解了文章的意思，文章表示旧手机可做备用机，而非一定要有一部旧手机在身边备用。
B篇
【文章大意】这是一篇从糖的种植和制作来审视人类历史的文章。
58. C. 定位到第一段中，A错在only一词，B第一段未提及到destructive一词，同时研究糖的历史则是为了反映人类历史而非研究其历史是出于糖的负面影响；D需要理解whole course一词，本次为“全部进程”，从文章的第一句可以排除。
59. C. 考查作者的写作意图。难点在于四个选项的理解和对第三段中心句的把握。
60. A. 考查作者的情感态度。本题难度较大，文章没有直接地告知本文作者对于糖的态度。但是从语篇中可以找到大量的贬义表达和文章最后将制糖业和和60年代的烟草业所进行的比较而得知答案。
C篇
【文章大意】本文作者主要讨论并解释在2040年之前英国打算完全禁止汽油或者柴油车这一政策。
61. B. 考查词意，implement为动词，阅读时需要在上下文中结合施动者和承受者进行统筹考虑。
62. C. 根据calm reaction from the motor industry定位答案为在第二段。A答案错在all和electric car两处；B选项则将信息进行了错误的匹配，sustainable transport并非汽车制造业的工作重心。
63. A. 考查对细节managed charging的理解。根据关键词定位到文章第三段，需要学生重点理解“dirty”一词，这里指的是用电高峰的电是在全部煤电或柴油电站的支持下才能应对人们的使用需求，因此知道managed charging就是指不在用电高峰期的有规划的充电行为。
64. D. 考查学生对划线句意的理解。原文中指出了electric cars有两大问题，一是power source management，其次是supply chain和petrochemical fuels一样有问题。因此A选项中management对应的是electric cars的问题；B选项为干扰选项，阅读需要就文章理解，学生容易将日常生活中燃油车导致的问题带入到阅读中去，文章最后一段指出的是electric cars面临的问题和解决方案。从划线句子来看D选项较为贴切原文的意思。
D篇
【文章大意】这是一篇关于海明威《移动的盛宴》这部作品的文学评论。
65. B. 根据设问中的feature定位到文章第一段的characterize一词可知，海明威初期的文学生涯充满了挣扎和困难。
66. C. 旨在考察海明威这本书的写作手法和特色，从文章第四段中的a series of anecdotes和from subject to subject可知道。B选项和D
选项为干扰选项，在第四段最后一句可知这两个选项表达错误。
67. D. 需要理解设问中的special一词。文章中可知，海明威认为Stein的性格不是很好，但是海明威依然把Stein描述得likable的原因是在第五段中a great teacher to Hemingway。
68. A. 设问中的consistent需要理解，意味海明威一直坚持的写作原则，从文章生词modus operandi即可知道答案。
69. A. 考察细节。从文章最后一句即可知道《移动的盛宴》是海明威成名之后一部回忆体小说。
70. A. 考察文章标题的设置。A答案涵盖了《移动的盛宴》这本书的主要内容，一些在巴黎生活的文学巨头们的趣事。
任务型阅读
71. 信息概括题。从第一节的第一句话可知，严峻的现实对学生实现理想是有限制的，因此是增加了学生成功的难度。故用短语add to。
72. 信息概括题。从文章的结构看，第1节是总述，2-4节是列举了学生在高校里遇到的各种困难，5-8节提出学生应该得到的帮助。因此72题是指在学生通往成功道路上所存在的问题，故用arising/existing。
74. 信息转换题。由第3节中的“Community and technical colleges receive too little funding from states. They also face too low a motive to respond to labor-market forces...”一句可以知道，大学缺少资金和动力，故用名词短语lack of作句子的主语。
80. 信息转换题。由文章最后一句话“We must meet students where they are and recognize the impact of their circumstances on their chances for success.”可以知道，我们应该意识到环境对学生成功的影响，要为他们的成功提供良好的环境，故转换成短语cater to sb.

just the right kind of person for the job.
M:What about the pay and the work time?
W: I’m coming to that. The pay that they’ve offered is satisfactory, but the work time is a bit
changeable: sometimes early in the morning or sometimes late in the afternoon.
M: Well, I am interested in it, but I need some more details about the work time so that I can talk
over with my wife.
W: Why don’t you come over here tomorrow?
M: OK, I’ll do that. See you tomorrow then. Bye!

Hello, dear friends, I’d like to talk about how to learn English well today.
As we all know, everybody wants to learn English well but many find it not easy. Why? I think I’d like to share my experience with you.
Just as the saying goes, only when you want to do something, can you do it well. Eight years ago, I was taken into the English world. It was fresh to me then. I feel lucky because I met with a respectable teacher. Her teaching style was unique and we were active and excited in classes, so I began to like English.
After I entered the university, I came to realize its special importance. My class provides me with good atmosphere of studying. As for words, I think words come along with sentences, that is, to understand the words according to its context. When reading, I am used to underlining some special and important phrases or write down on the notebook so that I can find them when reviewing.
After class, I go to the library sometimes. There are many books, magazines and newspapers related to English. When I come across new words or idioms, I write down to enlarge my vocabulary. In this way, I learn a lot.
That’s all. Thanks for listening.
