China is making plans to create a large protected space for one of its most famous creatures:
the giant panda. The planned Giant Panda National Park would be two times the size of
Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
The Bank of China has promised 10 billion yuan, or $1.5 billion, to set up the protective area.
It will be in the southwestern province of Sichuan, China’s forest ministry said Thursday. The
Sichuan office of the central bank signed an agreement with the provincial government to pay
for the park’s construction. The work is to be completed by 2023. The Associated Press reports
that the ministry said the park will measure 2 million hectares. The project aims to help the local
economy while also providing the endangered animals with a huge, unbroken area in which they
can meet and mate with other pandas.
Zhang Weichao is a Sichuan official involved in plans for the park. Zhang told the China
Daily newspaper that the agreement will reduce poverty among the 170,000 people living within
the park’s proposed territory. China’s Communist Party Central Committee and the State Council
first suggested the idea for the park in January 2017, the newspaper reported.
Giant pandas are China’s unofficial national animal. They live mainly in the mountains of
Sichuan, with some also living in nearby Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. An estimated 1,864 giant
pandas live in the wild, where they are threatened mostly by the loss of natural habitat. Another
300 live in captivity.
24. What is the primary purpose of building Giant Panda National Park?
A. To develop more and more local tourism resources.
B. To spark the development of the local economy.
C. To take in some other animals besides the pandas.4
D. To obtain more profits from ticket sales.
25. Which is the main natural habitat of Giant pandas?
A. The mountains of Shaaxi Province. B. The mountains of Gansu Province.
C. Yellowstone National Park. D. The mountains of Sichuan Province.
26. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A science fiction B. A travel brochure.
C. A fashion magazine. D. A newspaper report.
27. What can we infer from the text?
A. Some giant pandas living in the wild are faced with losing their natural habitat now.
B. It will take well over 5 years to complete Giant Panda National Park.
C. Yellowstone National Park is larger than the planned Giant Panda National Park.
D. The project meets with some objections due to occupying local people’s farmland.

On March 17, people around the world celebrate the Irish holiday of Saint Patrick’s Day. It is
a major holiday in Ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the
Irish themselves.
Most Americans think of Saint Patrick’s Day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol.
But its beginnings in Ireland were religious, says Mike Cronin, a professor of Irish history.
Saint Patrick lived in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago. He is widely considered to have
established Christianity (基督教) in the country. The Church honored him with a holy day in the
17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. St. Patrick, a Briton reportedly, is believed to
have served in Ireland. One traditional story says that St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of
Ireland. The average Irish person honored March 17 quietly. Attending church services was the
main activity. In fact, most businesses that served alcohol would close in honor of the day.
In the early 1900s, Ireland’s government made St. Patrick’s Day an official holiday. By the
1960s, towns across Ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. In Ireland
today, St. Patrick’s Day is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and
games. For Irish people living outside Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day became a chance to celebrate
their Irish identity and culture.
Now, countries and cities around the world celebrate March 17 in creative ways. Many
countries hold Saint Patrick’s Day parades. Famous monuments will all be colored by green light
for the day. The U.S. is especially famous for its Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations. Many cities
with large ethnic Irish communities hold parades and parties. Cities will also color local rivers
green for the day. Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle, which is covered in deep green grass.
Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day has helped the Irish
government, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. And for a small island of 4.5 to 5
million people, it’s quite remarkable that they have that kind of soft power.
28. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. Some backgrounds of Saint Patrick.
B. Christianity’s experience of serving in Ireland.
C. Saint Patrick’s contributions to establishing Christianity.
D. How people celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day in the 17th century.
29. How average Irish person celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day in the 17th century?
A. Coloring well-known monuments green. B. Parading in the streets.
C. Attending church services quietly. D. Drinking alcohol.
30. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Saint Patrick’s Day is the most significant day in the U.S.
B. Saint Patrick’s Day plays a part in foreign affairs in Ireland today.
C. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide today the same way as in the 17th century.
D. On Saint Patrick’s Day, parades and parties are held throughout many American cities and5
towns.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Origin of Saint Patrick’s Day
B. Celebrations of Saint Patrick’s Day in the U. S.
C. Role of Saint Patrick’s Day in Irish Diplomacy
D. Everyone Gets to be Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day

Artificial intelligence (AI), has slowly begun to influence higher education around the world.
Now, one new AI tool could change the way university students evaluate their professors. The
tool is called Hubert. It is a teacher evaluation tool that appears as an AI-powered chatbot (聊天
机器人). Instead of filling out a form, students use a chat window to give feedback on the course
and their professor. Afterwards, Hubert categorizes the students’ comments for the professor to
review. The beta version of Hubert is free for educators to use.
The goal of the new Hubert program is to improve education by giving teachers detailed,
organized feedback from students. Viktor Nordmark started the company in 2015 with several
friends. Before creating Hubert, the founders asked teachers what would improve their teaching
skills. The answer was qualitative feedback from their students. Qualitative feedback is different
from the survey responses students are often asked to provide at the end of a class. “This kind of
data takes a lot of time for professors to collect and analyze and for the students, it can also be
really boring to fill out.” Nordmark said. So he and his friends designed Hubert as a compromise
between a traditional survey and a personal interview.
Hubert learned different types of comments and how to respond to them. Then Hubert
learned how to organize the comments it received into categories. Now, when Hubert receives
comments from students, it compares them with the information already in its system to organize
the data.
What makes Hubert special is its similarity to communicating with a human. Munro, an
associate professor, believed traditional methods of evaluating professors were not very helpful.
“They happened only at the end of the course and the questions were formed around a four-part
ranking system based on traditional lecture classes.” These kinds of surveys did not give him the
right information to make effective changes in his classroom, Munro said,
In contrast, professors can offer the Hubert evaluation anytime they want. “Everyone, both
students and professors, is already comfortable with chats,” Munro said.
32. What does the underlined part “This kind of data” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Teaching skills B. Survey responses
C. Qualitative feedbacks D. Detailed and organized feedbacks
33. What do we know about Hubert from the text?
A. It is very costly to use.
B. Its developers were all famous university professors.
C. It can handle the data it receives automatically.
D. It can be used to evaluate the students as well as the professors.
34. Why did Viktor Nordmark and his friends invent the Hubert Program?
A. To make a profit by selling the program.
B. To make the students more relaxed and comfortable in class.
C. To make the professors’ classes more appealing and interesting.
D. To improve higher education by giving professors accurate feedback from students.
35. What is the Munro’s attitude towards Hubert program?
A. Neutral B. Critical C. Appreciative D. Ambitious6

Tips for Finding Your Perfect Job Online
Know where to look. You can’t find the jobs if you don’t know where to look. Start with
aggregate sites ( 综合网站). Just put “jobs” into a search engine and you’ll get numerous hits.
Thus, you need a way to narrow down your search sites. 36 When you’ve found a good
website, see if you can sign up for it to deliver new openings in your field to your email inbox;
most job sites have that feature.
37 While you may consider yourself an account executive ( 客 户 账 目 经 理 ), the
perfect job for you may be listed under a different job title. Try searching for synonyms, and if
the site allows it, use category searches to get a broader look – just be sure you don’t limit
yourself by category either.
Keep things professional. When you’ve found the jobs you want to apply for, remember that
applying online means your computer competency will be apparent. 38 When you apply
online, make sure that you use a professional email address. If your potential employers can’t
open your resume, they will likely just delete it.
Keep track. Whether you’re applying online or in person, you need to keep track of the
companies and positions for which you’ve applied. If you are reached by email, the latter isn’t a
big deal, but if your potential employer calls, you will want to know whom you are talking to and
about which position you are being contacted. 39
Follow Up in the Real World. Don’t get stuck in cyberland (网络天地); follow up on jobs by
calling. 40 Even if you aren’t right for the one you applied for, a follow-up call could
give you a lead on a similar position.
A. This will show you are serious about the position.
B. This will guarantee you the job you have applied for.
C. Lacking the ability of operating computers is a big disadvantage to you.
D. This is especially important if you are giving out your cell phone number.
E. The best way to find these sites is to search for your job title and location.
F. If you aren’t sure, ask a friend for help or consider taking a basic computer skills course.
G. Don’t get stuck on the job title

A young man had bought an old house that was in bad shape, but he and his wife believed
they could restore it. They immediately went to work. Their goal was to have the old building
look best for New Year’s Eve get-together.
Just two days before New Year, however, a storm swept through the area, leaving a hole in
the wall of the house. There was obviously no time to repair the damage before New Year. Then,
the sad couple attended a local auction( 拍卖) that afternoon. One of the items put up for bids
was an old gold-and-ivory-colored tablecloth. Seized by an inspiration, the young man was the
highest bidder at $ 6.50. His idea was to hang the cloth to cover the ragged hole.
On the day before New Year, it was snowy. As the young man unlocked the house door, he
noticed an old woman standing at the bus stop. He knew the bus wouldn’t be there within at least
half an hour, so he invited her inside to keep warm.
When the woman walked in and saw the tablecloth, she rushed at it and said excitedly, “It’s9
mine. It is my tablecloth.” She told the surprised man its history and even showed him her name
in one comer of the tablecloth. She and her husband had once lived in Vienna, Austria, and their
village was hit by a deadly disease. So they decided to flee to Switzerland, but her husband told
her to leave first, saying he had something urgent to deal with. A few days later, it was reported
that the bus her husband took fell off the cliff (悬崖) and he was never to be found. Her husband
was believed to have died. Touched by her story, the young couple asked about her address,
planning to send the tablecloth to her after New Year. As the bus came, she left.
In the candlelight of New Year’s Eve, the tablecloth looked even more beautiful. As the
man’s friends left the house, they thanked the man for his arrangement and mentioned how
beautiful the house looked.
Paragraph 1:
One old gentleman stayed, admiring the tablecloth.
Paragraph 2:
The young man drove the old man to that old woman’s home.
请同学们将下面的“参考答案”(含标点符号)认真规范地抄写在答卷纸指定区域。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
One old gentleman stayed, admiring the tablecloth. At the same time, he said to the young
man, “What a coincidence! Many years ago, my wife and I also owned such a tablecloth. But we
lived in Vienna then.” On hearing these words, the young man told the old man about his
encounter (邂逅,偶遇) with the old woman in the house that snowy day. “Can it be true that she
is alive?” asked the old man, tears streaming down his cheeks. “How can I find her?” Fortunately,
the young man remembered her address.
Paragraph 2:
The young man drove the old man to that old woman’s home. Together they knocked on her
apartment door. When she opened it, both of them recognized each other immediately. Obviously,
they were too surprised and excited to express themselves. With trembling hands, they hugged
tightly. “I was told you had died. How did you find me?” the old woman said. “Thanks to that
magical tablecloth.” the old man replied. The young man witnessed the tearful, joyful and
thrilling reunion of the husband and wife.1

One possible version:
Dear Henry,
How are things going? In your last email, you asked me something about Along the River During the Qingming Festival. I’m writing to tell you something interesting about this world-known art work.1
2
Along the River During the Qingming Festival, was created by Song Dynasty artist Zhang Zeduan. The theme of it celebrates the festive spirit and worldly noise and excitement at the Qingming Festival
rather than the holiday’s ceremonial aspects like tomb sweeping and prayers. The entire piece was painted in hand scroll format and the content reveals the lifestyle of all levels of the society as well as
different economic activities in rural areas and the city. It is considered the most famous work among all Chinese paintings and has been called “China’s Mona Lisa”.
I hope you can come to China someday and appreciate it in person. I’d like to offer you any help needed.
Yours
Li Hua

W:Good morning,everyone.Today we’re going to look at the wide differences in family life between the rich and the poor in Victorian times.Let’s begin with the upper classes.In
Victorian times, the upper classes made up less than 3%of the population,yet held more than 90% of the country’s wealth.Most of their servants were very poorly paid,but were always living in
the homes of upper-class Victorian families,so they didn’t have to pay for housing,food and clothing.The money which they did earn,they sent to their families.Many servants came from the
countryside. Among them were cooks,cleaners,gardeners and so on.The family would also employ a child’s nurse whose main role was to care for the children.She was responsible for
teaching the children how to behave and taking care of them when they were i11.Nurses did not,however,educate the children. Generally, children from wealthy families didn’t attend school
outside the family home.Tutors would come to the house to do this.Now,the Victorian upper classes have the reputation of being quite cruel;but this wasn’t always the case.They were also
quite generous.Some schools were set up with money from the upper classes so that poor children could have some form of education.Additionally,most Victorian parents were very proud of
their children. This goes against the common idea that parents were very strict with their children.In fact, the opposite was generally the rule. However,the situation for lower class families was
very different. Let’s have a look.1
