- Eric Hoffer
According to legend, a young man while travelling through the desert came across a spring of
delicious crystal-clear water. The water being so 36 , he filled his leather container so he could
bring some back to a tribal(部落的) elder who had been his 37 .
After a four-day journey he 38 the water to the old man who took a deep drink, 39

appreciation and expressed thankfulness because we love the 50 within the gift.Gratitude(感激)doesn't always come 51 . Unfortunately, most children and many adults value
only the thing given 52 the feeling within it. We should 53 ourselves and teach our children

are really gifts of the heart.

第三部分：阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
请阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并
在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
To some, Facebook, Twitter and similar social-media platforms are the highest level of
communication-better, even, than face-to-face conversations, since more people can be involved. Others think of them more as something that leads to self-appreciation, threatens privacy and
reduces intelligent conversations to the exchange of rude memes ( 搞笑图片). They might even,
these kinds of arguments go, be creating a generation of electronic addicts who are incapable of
reflective, individual, original thought.
A topic ripe for anthropological (人类学的) study, then. And such a study, the “Why We Post
(发帖)” project, has just been published by nine anthropologists, led by Daniel Miller of University
College, London.
The participants in “Why We Post” worked independently for 15 months at locations in Brazil,
Britain, Chile, China (one rural and one industrial site), India, Italy, Trinidad and Tobago, and
Turkey. They buried themselves within families and their surrounding communities. That, the team
believes, let them form a subtle view of the roles of social media in their study sites which could not
be gained by analysing participants’ public postings. These by-standers’ viewpoints deny much
received wisdom. One of the biggest doubts is the “selfie” - which is often blamed for causing
self-regard and too much focus on attractiveness. “Why We Post”, however, reveals that the selfie
itself has many faces. In Brazil many selfies posted by men were taken at the gym. But at the British
site, Dr Miller found, school children posted five times as many “groupies” (images of the
picture-taker with friends) as they did selfies. Britons have also created a category called “uglies”
(曝丑照), of which the purpose is to take as ugly a self-image as possible.
The often-humorous, marked-up images known as memes have also come in for criticism. They
lower down traditional forms of public debate, spreading far and wide with little context. But memes
serve different purposes in different cultures. In India they tend to focus on serious and religious
issues; Trinidadian memes are more often send-ups of politicians. Yet in all cases Dr Miller sees
meme-passing not as limiting what social media users think and say, but as enabling conversations.
Many users happily forward memes with strong political or economic messages about which they
would not dare to comment individually.
Critics also often view the online characters people create for their social-media postings as
false images designed for the medium at hand. Trinidadians, however, disagree. They see online
profiles as more representative of a person’s true self even than what is seen in real life. Also, young
boys and girls in Turkey see things differently. Social media permit them to be in constant contact
with one another, in full view of their parents, but to keep their conversations and photos to themselves.
In rural China and Turkey social media were viewed as a distraction from education. But in
industrial China and Brazil they were seen to be an educational resource. Such a divide was evident
in India, too. There, high-income families regarded them with suspicion but low-income families
advocated them as a supplementary source of schooling. In Britain, meanwhile, they were valued not
directly as a means of education, but as a way for pupils，parents and teachers to communicate.
The skeptics’ reaction to new technology seems equally deep-rooted. New means of
communication from railways and the telegraph onwards have always attracted critics. Therefore,
sooner or later, the doubters either convert, or die.
56. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Face-to-face conversations are better than social media.
B. Social-media platforms bring more problems than benefits.
C. Opinions are divided on the influences of social media.
D. More people will be addicted to electronic products.
57. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. the way the team carried out their project
B. the way the team analyzed public postings
C. the way the families lived in the communities
D. the way the participants buried themselves
58. The writer’s attitude towards social media is .
A. ambiguous B. positive C. unknown D. negative
B
Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which
makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already
predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century.
Many argue that it is a flawed (有缺陷的) concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses
things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world,
with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why
did over 17 million people vote for Brexit（英国脱欧）, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds
some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest
performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its
citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education
and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how
countries are performing.
While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes.
Yes, there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators
in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the
case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements
across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment.
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole
measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for
measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include
important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes—all things that contribute to
a person’s sense of well-being.
The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the
everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus
efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the
forecasted doom and may even see progress.
59. Robert F. Kennedy is quoted because he .
A. praised the UK for its GDP B. identified GDP with happiness
C. misinterpreted the role of GDP D. had a low opinion of GDP
60. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that .
A. the UK is reluctant to remold its economic pattern
B. GDP as the measure of success is widely disapproved in the UK
C. the UK will contribute less to the world economy
D. policymakers in the UK are paying less attention to GDP61. Which of the following is TRUE about the recent annual study?
A. It is sponsored by 163 countries. B. It excludes GDP as an indicator.
C. Its criteria are questionable. D. Its results are enlightening.

Mrs. Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school. She told the
children a lie. Like most teachers, she said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible
because there in the front row, slumped(弯腰坐) in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.
Mrs. Thompson noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy
and that he needed a bath. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight
in making his papers with a red pen, making bold Xs and then putting a “F” at the top of his papers.
Mrs. Thompson was required to receive each child’s past records and she put Teddy's off until
last. However, when she received his file, she was surprised. Teddy’s first and second grade teachers
both wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He has good manners...he is a joy to be
around.” While his third grade teacher wrote “His mother's death has been hard on him but tried to
do his best.” Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn, sometimes sleeps in class
and doesn’t show much interest in school…” By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she
was ashamed of herself.
By Christmas, Mrs. Thompson got presents wrapped in beautiful paper, except for Teddy’s.
His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper. Some children even laughed when she
found a rhinestone（人造钻石） bracelet with some stones missing, and a bottle with one-quarter
full of perfume. But she stifled the children’s laughter when she exclaimed(大声说) how pretty the
bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing(涂) some of the perfume on her wrist. Teddy stayed after
school that day and said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my mom used to.” After the
children left, she cried. On the very day, she quit teaching reading, and writing, and arithmetic.
Instead she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. By the end of the year, Teddy had become
the best in the class. A year later, she found a note from Teddy, telling her that she was the best
teacher he ever had in his whole life. Six years later she got another note from Teddy saying that he
had finished high school. Four years later, she got another letter, saying that he would soon graduate
from college with the highest of honors. Then four more years another letter came. The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little
longer----the letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, MD.
There was yet another letter that spring. Teddy said he’d met his girl and was going to be
married. He was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit in the place at the wedding that was
usually reserved for the mother of the groom. At the wedding ceremony, Dr. Stoddard whispered in
Mrs. Thompson's ear, “Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I
could make a difference.” Mrs. Thompson, tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, “Teddy, you
have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know
how to teach until I met you.”
62. Mrs. Thompson was surprised when she received Teddy’s file because ________.
A. she found his former teachers did not treat him well
B. Teddy had a loving family and a caring father
C. Teddy had changed greatly from a naughty boy
D. she realized the real problem behind Teddy
63. The last sentence of the passage “I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.” probably means
________.
A. from Teddy’s story, Mrs. Thompson learns how to truly care about students
B. Mrs. Thompson finally learns how to teach reading, writing and arithmetic
C. Teddy has been one of the best students that Mrs. Thompson has ever taught
D. teachers should treat all the children equally and love them all the same
64. Which would be the best title of the passage?
A. I Can Make a Big Difference B. A Child Named Teddy Stoddard
C. The Best Teacher Ever D. A White Lie
D
The man from the telephone department got off the bus, and made his way to the tea stall,
wiping the sweat off his head, face, then slipping his handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck
and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the
public works department had come to put up the phone booth（电话亭）—a neat box-like structure,
with a glass window, and wooden ledges, yellow in colour. And days after that, a painter had taken
an entire day to colour in broad, black brushstrokes, the words: STD Booth, local and STD allowed.No one could tell that the last word had been misspelled. Besides, he had taken the entire day.
After he had a cup of tea, he left, waving cheerfully. And now months later, someone else was here
again.
Everyone watched the man as he sat on the bench. No one said a word, and soon the sound of
him slurping his tea filled the hot afternoon. A few leaves fell, heavy in the heat, and sometimes a
car passed, on its way to the main city farther away.
When the man had finished, he tried to pay but the tea shop owner who sat behind his steaming
kettle and the washed upturned cups, waved him away.
“ You are our guest here.”
So the man took his handkerchief out again and wiped his face.
They crowded around him as he shut himself up in the phone booth. When the children pressed
their nose against the glass, he shooed them away, as he took out a shiny black instrument and
placed it on the narrow shelf, A sigh of satisfaction passed through everyone that soon changed to an
excited yell a5 they saw him dial a number, pressing a finger into the ringed dialer of the phone and
letting it go all the way in a half-circle. A while later, they hear him say into the mouthpiece,
“Hello.”
“Hello,” the children around the booth took up the cry, the teashop owner broke into a smile
and the men waiting for a bus smiled and said hello to each other. The sadhu(印度的僧人) who sat
under the banyan tree nodded wisely. As the sound carried, more hellos were heard. The women
winnowing grain giggled as they tried the word tentatively, the shepherds feeding their flocks called
out to their sheep, laughing as they used the word.
“It’s a big occasion,” said the headman, in an awed(敬畏的) voice.
“It is.” agreed those around him. The telephone man emerged and handed over a small chit of
paper to the headman. “This is the telephone number.”
The headman looked at it respectfully as if it were a mantra(符咒). The others around him read
out the numbers slowly, digit-by-digit.
The telephone man was now too tired to notice the cheering around him. He knew he had to
wait long before the bus to take him back arrived. As he sipped his second cup of tea, he
remembered something else.
“Oh, you can’t start using the phone now. The minister will come next month and inaugurate it.”
No one said a word. No one was surprised. They had waited so long; a month more did not
really matter.
65. In the story, fitting a working telephone booth ______.
A. was in the charge of the headman
B. was finished more than a year ago
C. was a process that had already taken 12 months
D. was an artistic challenge for a local painter
66. When the man from the telephone department arrived, ______.
A. there was a sudden rush of activity in the village
B. he was greeted like a regular customer
C. he learned about the village while having a nice drink
D. the hot afternoon was filled with quiet expectation
67. A misspelled word on the booth ______.
A. made the painter miss his tea break
B. went unnoticed by the local people
C. kept everyone occupied for an entire day
D. was a joke shared by the painter and the local people
68. What can be inferred from the story?
A. It was a distant village free from modern technology.
B. The man from the telephone department had a mentally demanding job.
C. Only the minister had the authority to make the first call
D. Few of the local children went to school for education.
69. The examples of the children, the teashop owner, the men waiting for the bus, the women and the
shepherds are given to illustrate ______.
A. the ignorance of the local people
B. the local people’s enthusiasm for English learning
C. the local peopled curiosity for the new thing
D. the popularity of the man from the telephone department
70. What words can be used to best describe the local people?A. Innocent and cooperative. B. Independent and admirable.

There are many destructive forces when it comes to nature, which have destroyed whole cities
and killed many people. They’re really terrible, but they occur somewhat often, and this is why you
see so many charities these days which focus their efforts on helping people who have been affected
by natural disasters.
While the world is a very beautiful place to live in, there will always be parts of the world
where natural disasters happen more often than in other places, where properties and lives are
destroyed. Only the people who live in the country where tsunamis and earthquakes as well as other
disasters occur experience these, and we can only imagine the suffering that they go through.
For some people out there, the world is cruel, but they have no choice but to stay where they are.
A lot of the time people simply cannot afford to move away, as they might not be able to find a job
when they leave.
In 2004, there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean. A tsunami is a large wave that towers
hundreds of feet into the air, and covers whole areas when it comes crashing down on to dry land.
This particular tsunami was caused by an earthquake that happened in the middle of the sea,
shooting the water away from the ground and towards dry land. This tsunami actually reached thirty
meters in height, and was one of the worst tidal waves the world has ever seen. Over 200,000 people
were hurt in the disaster.
In 2005, we also saw a hurricane happened in the United States. This hurricane was known as
hurricane Katrina, and is perhaps the worst in the history of the world. It happened in 2005 and
destroyed millions of properties in the area. It also cost nearly 2,000 American people their lives. It
was known that for ten days, the wind swept through the area, meaning the most powerful country in
the world became helpless in their attempts to save the people who were affected by the hurricane.
Finally, in 2008 we saw yet another natural disaster. This time it was a cyclone (旋风), which is
similar to a hurricane but happens in a circular motion (圆周运动). This cyclone Nargis had been
one of the strongest to have ever occurred, reaching a death toll of nearly 150,000 people.
All of these were typical examples of terrible disasters that couldn’t be avoided.

Right after the Second World War, Germany was in ruins. Almost all the houses, factories and
schools were destroyed. Plenty of people were homeless as well as jobless. Worse still, the supply of
water and electricity was often cut off in the city. Two American journalists interviewed a German
family living in the basement. The husband was disabled from the war and the wife was just
dismissed from a clothing company. Worse still，there were bills for them to pay - four children to
care for and food to buy. Life was hard for them at that time.
After the interview, the journalists chatted with each other on the way back to the company.
“Do you think the Germans could rebuild their homeland?”
“Absolutely.”

One possible version:
Two American journalists interviewed a German family after the war. Though living a
poor life, the family still placed flowers on the table, which convinced a journalist that
Germans were bound to rebuild their homeland.
Personally, I do believe in the power of dreams. As a graduating student, I have been
pursuing my academic dream for so long. Had it not been for my dream of admission to top
university, I would not have come such a long way through hardships and failures, and would
have already given up.
The significance of dreams, indeed, cannot be overlooked. Dreams help set goals, without
which life would otherwise lose direction; dreams bring about drive, motivating every
individual to reach out for his achievements. On the other hand, important as they are, dreams
are not the sole element necessary for personal success. Of all these necessary elements, I am
firmly convinced that action will claim the title of the most important. After all, good ideas will
lead to anywhere but success unless put into practice.
I hold firmly that one is sure to succeed where dreams start.
