The “challenges” of family holidays are well-known. It’s 21 enough getting on with your husband, wife or kids at home, so how can you 22 yourself while travelling with them? Susan M. Shaw, expert on leisure(休闲) at the University of Waterloo in Canada, thinks the term “family leisure” is full of 23 . “Research suggests that such 24 do not always live up to the leisure ideal,” she writes, darkly.
Family holidays probably don’t add much to the sum of human 25 . However, as one of my friends likes to 26 , people don’t have children for happiness. Research has shown that 27 are less happy than childless people. 28 , says my friend, having children is best understood as a biological urge. You have them not for the present but for the 29 , so that your genes will continue to exist when you are gone. And 30 , you go on family holidays not for the present but for the future.
Thus, the aim of the holiday, much of the time, is to stock up on 31 : to leave all family members with 32 of happiness that they can look back on after the family doesn’t exist. Much of what we remember of our families comes from 33 . On holiday, the family exists more clearly than at any other time: all together for once, 34 work, school or friends. On holiday, you are much closer to your 35 . Holiday photographs make that feeling of closeness 36 . In fact, the photographs themselves are perhaps the main 37 of the holiday: that’s where the memories get laid down.
A family holiday is for memories. Once you’ve grasped that, you will not 38 it. I
vividly remember, about 30 years ago, 39 from an Italian vacation to our handsome brick house. 40 we opened the front gate, my mother said, “That’s the best part of a holiday: coming home.” At the time I didn’t know what she meant.
21. A. happy B. hard C. fortunate D. strange
22. A. enjoy B. teach C. blame D. hurt
23. A. fun B. luck C. questions D. problems
24. A. relationships B. terms C. definitions D. activities
25. A. population B. wealth C. happiness D. kindness
26. A. argue B. complain C. guess D. predict
27. A. teachers B. parents C. husbands D. wives
28. A. Still B. Thus C. Rather D. Indeed
29. A. dream B. joy C. future D. health
30. A. difficultly B. similarly C. sadly D. quickly
31. A. memories B. imaginations C. information D. impression
32. A. details B. photographs C. description D. evaluation
33. A. customs B. language C. holidays D. behavior
34. A. except B. against C. despite D. without
35. A. family B. friends C. home D. cameras
36. A. possible B. positive C. better D. stronger
37. A. function B. reason C. aim D. advantage
38. A. learn from B. suffer from C. seek for D. care for
39. A. vacation B. meeting C. performance D. training
40. A. Because B. Before C. If D. As

【文章大意】很多人认为跟家人一起度假是种折磨，作者却认为全家人一起度假很有意义，能留下许多美好的回忆。
21.B 考查形容词辨析。根据本段首句可知，跟家人度假是项挑战。第二句句意：平时在家里跟家人相处已经很“难了”，那么跟他们在一起度假又怎么能“过得愉快”呢？hard“困难”，与前面的“challenges(挑战)”呼应。happy令人高兴（愉快）的；fortunate幸运的；strange奇怪的。 因此选B项。
22.A 考查动词辨析。句意：……那么跟他们在一起度假又怎么能“过得愉快”呢？。enjoy oneself“玩得愉快”。teach oneself自学；blame oneself自责；hurt oneself伤害自己。因此选A项。
23.D 考查名词辨析。既然跟家人度假是项挑战，那么“家庭休闲”这种说法本身就有“问题”。problem“问题”。fun乐趣；luck幸运；question问题，疑问。因此选D 项。
24.D 考查名词辨析。这里是指度假这些“活动”不能总是让人感到放松。activities“活动”。Relationship关系；term期限，条款；definition定义。故选D项。

27.B 考查名词辨析。根据上句中的have children与本句中的childless people可知，这里是将有孩子的人，即“父母”与没孩子的人作比较。parents“父母”。teachers老师；husbands丈夫；wives妻子。故选B项。
28.C 考查副词辨析。根据上文中的people don’t have children for happiness及本空后的having children…so that your genes will continue to exist when you are gone可知，作者的朋友认为人们养育孩子不是为了幸福，“而是”为了让自己的基因延续。rather“而是”。still仍然；thus因此；indeed的确，确实。故选C项。
29.C 考查名词辨析。根据本段末的not for the present but for the future可知，此处应填future“未来”。Dream梦想；joy欢乐；health健康。故选C项。
30.B 考查副词辨析。根据上文中的You have them not for the present…及本空后的内容可知，度假跟养育孩子“相似”，都不是为了现在，而是为了将来。similarly“相似地”。difficultly困难地；sadly悲伤的；quickly迅速地。故选B项。
31.A 考查名词辨析。根据本段中的remember of及memories可知，很多时候，度假的目的就是为了存储“回忆”。memories“记忆，回忆”。imaginations想象；information信息；impression印象。故选A项。

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Gavin Joseph, a teenager with Asperger’s Syndrome, was beaten up by a group of people for just being different. Asperger’s Syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects a person’s ability to socialize. But instead of putting them into prison for what they did to him, Gavin offered them a chance to become more tolerant and understanding.
On Thursday night, some kids were talking about how “it’s weird(怪异的)” that he is always by himself, attending events alone and watching people, and it was “creepy” that he wanted to be friends with people he didn’t know.
On Friday night, another kid that overheard that conversation decided to take matters into his own hands and become judge and jury, and this is the result of that. He didn’t ask questions, didn’t get to know Gavin, never met him, and didn’t give him a chance to leave. He was called to meet
someone, surrounded by people he didn’t know, choked, punched(用拳猛击), and left lying on the pavement so he would “learn his lesson”.
Gavin emerged from the attack with a concussion(脑震荡), a fractured nose, a bruised esophagus(食道) and some damage to his eye, but thankfully, none of the injuries resulted in permanent damage.
But here’s the truly amazing part — Gavin refused to press charges against the people who did this to him. Instead of wanting to see them punished, he wants to see them educated. Gavin asked that his attackers do community service that is disability-related. According to his mother, Gavin also asked “that they watch a 20 min video statement he taped while their families were present so they could see the damage they did and hear the event from his perspective.”
“If you are reading this, I hope you talk to your teens,” his mother wrote. “Tell them about disabilities you can’t see, teach them to be tolerant of people that are different, teach them that if they continuously see someone alone that maybe it is not their choice to be alone, remind them to ask questions first and get to know one another.”
41. Gavin is always alone because he .
A. enjoys being alone
B. is always upsetting
C. suffers from a disease
D. doesn’t like his schoolmates
42. Which can best replace the underlined word “creepy” in Paragraph 2?
A. Fun. B. Strange. C. Natural. D. Inspiring.
43. Why was Gavin beaten by a group of people?
A. He hurt some kids before.
B. He is different from normal people.
C. He refused to make friends with a kid.
D. He didn’t take school lessons seriously.
44. How did Gavin react to his injuries?
A. He thought back bravely.
B. He was too scared to react.
C. He decided to turn to court for help.
D. He didn’t take school lessons seriously.
45. We can conclude that Gavin’s way of reacting was .
A. interesting B. praiseworthy C. disappointing D. unreasonable
43. B 细节理解题。由第一段中的“was beaten up by a group of people for just being different”及第二、三段可知，Gavin仅仅因为和别人不同而被殴打。因此答案为B项。
44. D细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知，Gavin想让欺凌他的孩子们从这次事件中学到东西。因此答案为D项。
45. B 推理判断题。Gavin在被欺凌后不仅没有粗暴地报复，反而想办法让欺负他的孩子们从这件事上有所收获。再根据倒数第二段首句“But here’s the truly amazing part — Gavin refused to press charges against the people who did this to him.”可推断，他对待欺凌的方式值得称赞。

Empathy(同情) is a quality that is essential to most people’s lives and yet the modern world makes it easy to lose sight of the feelings of others. But almost everyone can learn to develop this crucial personality trait(品质), says Roman Krznaric. Roman Krznaric used to regularly walk past a homeless man around the corner from where he lived in Oxford and took almost no notice of him. One day he stopped to speak to him.
It turned out his name was Alan Human and he had a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford. They afterwards developed a friendship based on their common interest in Aristotle's ethics (伦理学).
This unexpected meeting taught Roman that having conversations with strangers opens up our empathic minds. We can not only meet amazing people but also challenge the prejudices that we have about others based on their appearance, accents or backgrounds.
Furthermore, it’s about recovering the curiosity everyone had as children. Respect the advice of oral historian Studs Terkel, who always spoke to people on the bus, “Don't be an examiner, be the interested inquirer(探究者).”
The world’s first Empathy Museum, which is starting in the UK in late 2015 and will then be travelling to Australia and other countries. Amongst the unusual exhibitions will be a human library, where instead of borrowing a book you borrow a person for conversation–maybe an
unhappy investment banker or a gay father. In other words, the kind of people you may not get to meet in everyday life.
As the psychologist and inventor of emotional intelligence Daniel Goleman puts it, without empathy a person is “emotionally tone deaf”. It's clear that with a little effort nearly everyone can put more of their empathic potential to use. So try putting on your empathy shoes and make an adventure of looking at the world through the eyes of others.
46. Why did Roman and Alan become good friends?
A. They helped each other.
B. They felt pity for each other.
C. They shared the same interest.
D. They had to depend on each other.
47. What should adults learn from children?
A. Never judge by appearances.
B. Be curious about others.
C. Never talk to strangers.
D. Always be polite.
48. According to Paragraph 5, a human library you can .
A. act as a librarian
B. borrow your favorite books
C. meet ordinary people in life
D. expect a talk with someone special
49. Which of the following is TRUE according to Daniel Goleman?
A. Emotional intelligence cannot be improved.
B. Most people don’t have empathy for others.
C. It is important to develop empathy for others.
D. Deaf people have little emotional intelligence.

Major League Baseball (MLB) was thrown a problem that was hard to deal with this week, as word spread that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice are investigating the St. Louis Cardinals. Employees of the team may have hacked(非法侵入) into the computer database of the Houston Astros. If the investigation proves that the Cardinals did do the act, it will be considered not only unsportsmanlike but also illegal.
In a statement, the MLB said it is “aware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation into the illegal breach of the Houston Astros’ baseball operations database.” The organization added, “Once the investigative process has been completed by federal law enforcement officials, we will judge the next steps and will make decisions immediately.” The investigation began after the Astros’ internal trade talks were posted anonymously(匿名地) on the Internet last year. People wanted to know who was responsible for making the private information public.
The two major-league teams had been competitors for a long time, but things became even worse when the Astros hired Jeff Luhnow as their general manager in 2011. Luhnow had previously worked for the Cardinals as head of their player development department. Investigators think the Cardinals may have been able to get inside the Astros’ database using Luhnow’s old passwords from when he was working for the St. Louis team.
This is the first known case of a professional sports team hacking another team’s network, but some cybersecurity(网络安全) experts say other teams may have done it before without getting caught. Craig Newman, chairman of the privacy and data security practice of the New York law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, told the Associated Press that it would be “irresponsible” to assume this is the first incident of hacking in the world of professional sports.
50. What happened to the Cardinals according to Paragraph 1?
A. It was in cooperation with MLB.
B. It was in need of the FBI’s help.
C. It was under investigation.
D. It was under construction.
51. Which event led to the investigation into the incident of hacking?
A. The Astros’ website went down suddenly.
B. The Astros’ private information was uncovered.
C. Newman commented on the Cardinals’ trade talks.
D. The Cardinals’ private information was uncovered.
52. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Jeff Luhnow betrayed his team on purpose.
B. Jeff Luhnow’s old information may have been used.
C. Jeff Luhnow had been a general manager before 2011.
D. Jeff Luhnow was not allowed to use the Astros’ database .
53. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably refers to ____________.
A. hacking other teams’ network
B. stealing money from a competitor
C. offering a competitor useful information
D. providing untrue information for other teams
54. Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A sports report.
B. A finance report
C. A computer textbook.
D. A newspaper advertisement.
【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。圣路易斯红雀队因被怀疑非法侵入休斯顿太空人队的数据库而被调查。
50. C 细节理解题。由第一段中的“…are investigating the St. Louis Cardinals”可知，圣路易斯红雀队（the Cardinals）正在接受调查。因此选C项。
51. B 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“The investigation began after the Astros’ internal trade talks were posted anonymously(匿名地) on the Internet last year”可知，休斯顿太空人队（the Houston Astros）的数据库遭到入侵，去年其内部交易信息被匿名放到网上。这一事件成为此次调查的导火索。因此选B项。
52. B 推理判断题。由第三段末的“…the Cardinals may have been able to get inside the Astros’ database using Luhnow’s old passwords…”可知，调查人员认为有可能Jeff Luhnow曾经工作的圣路易斯红雀队用他的旧密码入侵了他现在所在的休斯顿太空人队的数据库。也就是说，他的旧信息可能被利用了。因此选B项。
53. A 代词指代题。根据画线词所在句子中的转折连词but前面的内容“This is the first known case of a professional sports team hacking another team’s network”可知，此处it就指代前面的“hacking another team’s network(入侵另一球队的网络)”。因此选A项。
54. A 文章出处题。本文主要讲述的是美国职业棒球大联盟中的圣路易斯红雀队涉嫌非法侵入休斯顿太空人队的数据库，因此本文选自体育新闻报道。故选A项。

In high school I had the good fortune of having creative friends. We’d do crazy things like dance in the hallways and make strange movies. We’d be loud and silly in busy places where others could see, and there I learned a surprising lesson: when you behave strangely on purpose, others feel more embarrassed than you do. They don’t know how to respond, so they leave you alone.
As an adult I find this upsetting. I know when something interesting is happening people will pretend to be indifferent(冷漠的), even if in their hearts they’re interested in what’s going on.
If some talented person magically appeared in your home or office, and began performing a passionate(充满热情的) private concert for you, you’d be moved. It’s rare these days to see someone performing a craft live and in person. Yet these musicians performing on the street, putting their full energy out into the world for anyone’s pleasure, gained no reaction. People walked past without a glance, staring at their own shoes, as if they were surrounded by long dead sidewalks.
It’s strange how we can spend hours a day behind electric screens of various shapes and sizes, bored by how unreal much of it is, yet walk right past living musicians without a glance. We treat amazing things as if they weren’t there.
As I stood listening, I soon felt strange. Why am I the only one here? Even though I knew it was right to stay and listen, it felt strange because I was alone. Had there been a crowd around any of the musicians, more people would have stopped to join, simply because they could do it without feeling strange. But standing alone, I felt I was doing something wrong. It’s sad, but I’m no longer that crazy kid in high school, running through the hallways. Now I’m more like the others, worried more about standing out than enjoying the world.
I call this the challenge of indifference. As we grow up we’re taught self-control, how to focus ourselves, and how to tune out things that are “wrong” or “juvenile” or “wastes of time.” We become indifferent to the whims(突发奇想) of the child mind, trading it in for suits and resumes—the tools of success in the adult world.
The challenge as an adult, once you’ve found your way and settled down, is to undo indifference. We all have that voice in our heads that whispers, “This is cool” or “This is different” or even “Wait—what is this? Let’s see,” but it’s pounded into submission(被驯服) by the rational adult voice we’ve used to get the external things we want so dearly.
I know many people who are fundamentally frustrated with their lives and have been for some time. And they’re surprised they feel this way—after all, they’re successful at work. They expected that fact to be enough to make them happy forever, as that’s the mythical bargain. But we’re never told that success often demands indifference to the wonders of the real, or the magic of the ridiculous.
My life was changed by films like Fight Club and American Beauty, because they show how empty a successful life can be. They expose how we create our own emptiness(空虚) which can only be filled from the inside out, not with expensive material things. It starts by rediscovering what we overlook, including people living their passions, like street musicians, chefs, or craftsmen, people who are not indifferent. They are fully present, and give us a chance to join them in the moment, but only if we stop to listen.
55. Why were the author and his friends not teased in high school?
A. Other students were busy studying then.
B. Other students didn’t think it was worth remarking.
C. Other students were too embarrassed to respond.
D. Other students were amazed by the creative behavior.
56. What does the author find distressing as an adult?
A. People hide their feelings on interesting things.
B. People are only interested in their own business.
C. People are not moved by things they choose to experience.
D. People don’t find fun in interesting things as they used to.

第二节：下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句(第61~65题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Be a realistic optimist.
B. Be clear about your goals and actions.
C. Know exactly how far you have left to go.
D. Catch the moment to act on your goals.
E. Focus on what you will do, not what you won’t do.
F. Focus on getting better, rather than being good.
Decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. Here are several things successful people do unlike we ordinary people.
61 When you set yourself a goal, try to be as clear as possible. “Lose 5 pounds” is a better goal than “lose some weight”, because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you positive until you get there. Also, think about the actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.
62 Given how busy most of us are, it’s not surprising that we miss opportunities to act on a goal just because we fail to notice them. To catch the moment, decide when and where to take your each action at first. Studies show that this kind of planning will help you grasp the opportunity when it appears, increasing your chances of success by about 300%.
63 Achieving any goal also requires honesty and regular watch of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don’t know how well you are doing, you can’t change your behavior or your plans if necessary. Check your progress frequently — weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal.
64 When you are setting a goal, you should have lots of positive thinking about how likely you are to achieve it. Believing that you are able to succeed also helps you keep you positive all the time. But whatever you do, don’t underestimate(低估) how difficult it will be to reach your goal. Most goals worth achieving require time, planning, effort, and persistence (坚持).
65 Many of us believe that our intelligence, our personality, and our physical aptitudes are fixed — that no matter what we do, we won’t improve. Fortunately, decades of research suggest the fact that you can change will allow you to make better choices, and reach
your fullest potential. People whose goals are about getting better, rather than being good can appreciate the journey as much as the destination.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了成功人士与你做法不同的几件事。
61. B 根据本段中的“When you set yourself a goal, try to be as clear as possible”以及“Also, think about the actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.”可知，B项（明确目标和行动）符合题意。
62. D 根据本段中的“To catch the moment, decide when and where to take your each action at first.”可知，D项（抓住行动的时机）符合题意。
63. C 根据后面的“Check your progress frequently — weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal.”可知，C项（确切知道目标还有多远）符合题意。

第3处：if → whether 考查宾语从句连接词。介词as to（关于）后面的宾语从句用whether(是否)引导，不能用if。故将if改成whether。

【答案】
Fireworks-to be forbidden or not
When the Spring Festival of 2016 was around the corner, bans on fireworks frequently came out. Some citizens think it necessary to forbid setting off fireworks. For one thing, fireworks worsen air pollution and give rise to smog. For another, they often bring about fires, and even cause great loss of property in addition to severe injuries and deaths.
However, those who are opposed to banning fireworks think it the Chinese tradition to set off fireworks. It is a way of adding to atmosphere of happiness. Besides, fireworks are not set off
every day, so it is absolutely not the major source of environmental problem.
Personally speaking, I think it a good idea to ban fireworks for the sake of safety. Anyway, we have many other ways of celebrating the New Year such as having parties. Above all, forbidding fireworks may well let citizens have a peaceful New Year’s Eve.
【点评】
文章结构清晰，要点齐全，语言流畅。文章使用了较高级的词汇，如be opposed to, add to, atmosphere, absolutely, for the sake of等；变换使用词汇和句式，如give rise to/bring about/cause，避免乏味；恰当地使用了衔接词，如For one thing…For another, However, Besides, Anyway等，使上下文紧凑、过度自然；结尾句起到了总结和升华主题的作用。
