On the first day of the New Year, I flew to Hong Kong, one of my dream cities. I had imagined Hong Kong as a city surrounded by the blue ocean, covered by large greenery and with lots of natural and artificial beautiful scenes. I expected it to combine the cultures of both the East and the West since it is well-known as a global fashion centre. When my plane landed over the bridges connecting the islands in the evening, I saw that the city was dotted with millions of lights, just like stars shining in the sky. This first impression was not bad. But next morning it became a disaster, as I walked out of my hotel located in North Point. I was frightened by the scene of the city before me. I could only think of one word in my brain: mess. I was prepared for Hong Kong to be very crowded since every big city is. I had thought that I would be able to stand it because I am from Shanghai. But I was wrong. I was totally shocked by the mess and breathlessness of this city.
Every street was jammed with shops and every shop was jammed with goods, let alone (更不用说) the crowds of stalls on the roadsides. The whole city looked like a grocery. Streets were narrow and I didn't find a two-way road all day. People struggled to throw themselves into the buses and cars could hardly move in the downtown. This city is absolutely over-constructed. People should have realized space was limited when seeking more living facilities. The overloaded land endangers the prosperity (繁荣) of the city. Nobody will prefer living or sightseeing in such a crowded city. I think there is an important lesson for Shanghai to learn from Hong Kong, for Shanghai is undergoing speedy development and massive urban construction. Careful planning is essential not only because over-heated urban construction brings economic risks but also because it could lead to the same embarrassing situation as now in Hong Kong.
Fortunately, Shanghai is not an island city like Hong Kong, so we have opportunities to do better in 20 years' time -- roughly the same period that Shanghai is now believed to fall behind Hong Kong in its level of urban development. Think ahead.
24. On the second day in Hong Kong, the writer felt ________.
A. satisfied B. disappointed C. excited D. happy
25. We can get the information from the passage that ________.
A. the writer thinks it comfortable to live in Hong Kong.
B. Hong Kong develops much more slowly than Shanghai.
C. in spite of the prosperity of Hong Kong, the writer dislikes living there.
D. Hong Kong is well constructed though it is crowded.
26. From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. we shouldn’t travel or shop in Hong Kong.
B. everyone prefers living in a big city like Hong Kong.
C. careful planning isn’t needed for big cities in order to develop rapidly.
D. if carefully planned, Shanghai can do better than Hong Kong in the future.
27. The author intends to tell us that ________.
A. we should learn a lesson from Hong Kong.
B. he made an awful travel to Hong Kong.
C. Hong Kong is over-constructed.
D. there are some differences between Shanghai and Hong Kong
C
A large number of the public believe young people aged between 18 and 30 have the toughest time, with work pressure and financial worries the leading cause of stress, according to a survey.
The study of 2,003 adults of all ages found that work stress and financial worries are significant sources of pressure for 59.8 percent and 55.1 percent of adults separately.
Other major sources of stress include feeling anxious and lost (32.6 percent), a lack of promotion opportunities (32.3 percent), and emotional instability (不稳定) (28 percent).
Wang Yong, a post-90s salesman, said he is now experiencing extreme stress over money. "I have got nothing two years after graduating and this uncomfortable situation might last for another two or three years."
The good news is that, on average, 40.3 percent of respondents (受访者) reported their stress levels are tending downward.
Nearly 55.1 percent reported they lessen pressure with more effective mental hints (暗示) or motivational keywords, according to the report.
Some people take other steps to reduce stress. Talking with friends, allowing time to heal, and talking to parent and professional counseling (咨询) were reported by about half of respondents as ways to reduce stress.
To fight against financial stress, He Shanjun, an associate professor at China University of Political Science and Law, noted that adults who are feeling stressed and are out of balance in their life should persevere (坚持不懈) with their careers and go through the tough times.
"It might be the best time for the young, especially between 18 and 30, to experience hardship and build up willpower."
28. According to the study, ________ ranks first in the major sources of pressure among young people.
A. feeling anxious and lost B. a lack of promotion opportunities
C. financial worries D. work stress
29. Which of the following is NOT the way used by respondents to reduce pressure?
A. Effective mental hints B. Talking with friends
C. Working harder D. Professional advice
30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. It makes sense that young people should overcome the tough time.
B. The stress levels on the young are still going up.
C. Old people don’t have any pressure like the young.
D. Pressure can only hold the young back in their life.
31. The underlined word “lessen” in Paragraph 6 probably means __________ .
A. increase B. reduce C. limit D. forbid
D
We chat with our colleagues all the time: when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together.
Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your co-workers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues or managers can cause difficulties and even endanger your work.
It’s vital to strike the right balance between getting along with colleagues and keeping your privacy safe. “As a matter of fact, it takes skills to communicate in the office. You can neither chat too much, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others,” said Yang Yudan, vice HR director (人事经理) at P&G. According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games.
But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is potentially risky. Cui Xia, 21, who has been working for an IT company
for only 2 months, learned this hard way when she found out that everyone knew she had broken up with her boyfriend. “I spoke about it with two colleagues in the tearoom and told my friend via phone, and then the news spread.” And her boss finally heard about it and asked her not to let it affect her work performance.
Sometimes revealing private matters in a thoughtless manner can result in disastrous consequences. Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didn’t realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her,” said Liang. “Then our HR told me it’s forbidden to talk about payments in the office.” HR expert Yang Yudan also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. It’s unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are.
To sum up, Yang Yudan advises office workers to be more aware of their images when talking to colleagues. “When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume (无形的简历) and may slow down your career progression.”
32. Which of the following topics is NOT suitable when chatting in the office?
A. Makeup B. Football matches
C. Annual earnings D. TV shows such as Running Man
33. We may know from the passage that ________.
A. women often talk more about their personal affairs than men.
B. to avoid getting into trouble, you’d better keep silent at work.
C. it’s wise to talk about how much you earn each month with your colleagues.
D. revealing too much about your privacy may have a negative effect on your career.
34. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To mention a phenomenon. B. To provide some suggestions.
C. To give professional guides. D. To offer necessary warnings.
35. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. At work, No chatting! B. Desire for privacy.
C. At work, Keep it to yourself! D. Learn to respect others’
privacy.

The beauty of confidence is that it is possible to learn it, no matter who you are! Follow these simple steps to be confident.
Consider your strengths and success. 36 When have you helped others? What are you good at? When have you taken pride in yourselves? What are you working hard for? If you have difficulty thinking of your strengths and success, ask your family member or a close friend.
Have goals. Sitting around and doing nothing will make you feel worse. Start with a small goal. 37 You’ll get more confidence achieving a small goal. Once you’ve achieved many smaller goals, you can set bigger goals.
38 Failure is the mother of success. When you fail, view it as a learning experience. Often we have to fail on our own to gain experience. By failing, you have at least taken a chance.
Pick a role model. Pick a role model that is always confident and always learn from them. Study their action, their manners of speaking and how they communicate with others. 39 However, it’s a great place to start.
Smile. Confident people smile often, and without much reason. 40 It tells the people around you that you’re comfortable in yourself and enjoying your time.
A. Of course you don’t want to spend your entire life copying someone else.
B. If possible, write them down so that you can look back at them later.
C. Start projecting a more powerful you today.
D. Smiling is a friendly and open gesture.
E. Otherwise, you’ll get discouraged.
F. After reaching a goal, reward yourself.

I thought that I had skills in dealing with kids, so I applied 61 a job to teach kids. The day of my interview was my first day of work. My first mistake led to my first lesson ---- Don’t try to make friends with managers, but be respectful. Besides, I learned I was not as good as I thought I was, and that 62 was better to ask for help than do what you thought was right.
A few days after work, 63 (feel) pressured to do a good job, I found repetition made it more comfortable. It wasn’t long 64 I learned how to develop respectful relationships with my boss and what tone of voice 65 (use) with kids. I started sounding more confident and realized that the more confident you sound, the more it seems that you know 66 you are doing.
After a few months, much to my 67 (amaze), I realized how little money I 68 (spend). Money from working long hours seemed to be more 69 (value) to me than money given by my parents. I kept it firmly in my hands and suddenly shopping was a 70 (total) different experience. The cost of items translated into how many hours I needed to work to pay for it.

二、作文：参考范文
As is known to all, tourism has been developing very rapidly in recent years. There is no doubt that it can relieve our stress from work and make us relaxed. In addition, it can broaden our horizon, experience different cultures and make friends from different places. What’s more, tourism can contribute to the local economy and create jobs for the local people.
However, there also exist some disadvantages about it. For example, famous places of interest will attract more tourists to visit, which may destroy the natural environment and disturb the normal life of the local people.
As far as I’m concerned, every coin has its two sides. If tourism is well managed, we will benefit a lot from it after all.

(Text 10)
You ask me about my hometown, so now I’d like to tell you something about it. I live in Brighton, which is not a very big town. It has a population of around 300,000.
It is on the coast about 50 miles from London. Of course it isn’t as interesting as London or Paris. But the air is a lot cleaner and better. There is little population there. There are a few factories in Brighton, but not many. It isn’t very easy to find a job there. My father used to work in a steel plant which shut down a year ago and my father lost his job. But there are a lot of hotels and language schools in town. In summer the town is full of travelers. My father decides to open a small shop to sell gifts. But he is short of money. He hopes that he can borrow some money from the bank.
