阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的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。
The malls were filled with people seeking Christmas gifts. Behind the 36 aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring, being attentive to the 37 of special people in our lives. 38 , to use a well-worn play on words: it is our presence, not our 39 , that truly counts.
Giving attention to each other is, to a large extent, what human civilization is 40 . This perhaps 41 the runaway success of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. 42 we use such sites for “micro blogging”, “idea voicing” and “status updates”, the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than 43 our basic human drive for attention exchange.
I friend you, you friend me. The 44 ease with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly 45 to their smart phones. It is also a vicious(邪恶的) 46 . As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online, there is 47 less attention to be paid in the real world, which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online, 48 risk attention-starvation.
The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly 49 , and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, 50 it is with too much attention exchange. The 51 consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible: heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The consequences of our changed attention exchanges will be psychological and social, and so may take longer to 52 , but they will be 53 damaging.
Face-to-face attention is becoming 54 , and therefore more valuable. And it is a gift that can be given 55 .
36. A. physical B. imaginative C. thoughtful D. romantic
37. A. desires B. concerns C. claims D. purposes
38. A. Instead B. Moreover C. Otherwise D. However
39. A. feelings B. opinions C. presents D. choices
40. A. stood for B. related to C. based upon D. addicted to
41. A. involves B. explains C. suggests D. indicates
42. A. If B. While C. When D. Once
43. A. losing B. imagining C. meaning D. fulfilling
44. A. charming B. disappointing C. strange D. slight
45. A. adapted B. attached C. absorbed D. appealed
13
46. A. gesture B. attempt C. habit D. circle
47. A. directly B. increasingly C. necessarily D. hopelessly
48. A. other than B. rather than C. or else D. apart from
49. A. transformed B. affected C. revealed D. disturbed
50. A. as B. nor C. such D. so
51. A. eventual B. psychological C. general D. biological
52. A. identify B. confirm C. exploit D. employ
53. A. equally B. closely C. consequently D. contrarily
54. A. commoner B. costlier C. rarer D. tougher
55. A. during the holidays B. all-year-round C. in person D. on purpose

When experts refer to “divorce,” they mean that both members of a breeding(繁殖) pair survive to the following breeding season but end up pairing with new partners rather than reuniting. Great blue herons divorce after every breeding season, and emperor penguins split up around 85 percent of the time. In contrast, just 9 percent of mallard duck pairs call it quits, and albatrosses almost never break up. Many researchers have focused on understanding how these separations affect reproductive success, but until now few have focused on the process itself.
Behavioral ecologist Carol Gilsenan of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany and her colleagues monitored hundreds of Eurasian blue tits for eight years, using artificial nest boxes in a protected forest in southern Germany. In their findings, published in Animal Behaviour, 64 percent of breeding pairs split up during the study—even though faithful pairs produced more eggs and raised more young birds. If both members of a pair returned to their previous territory around the same time, they were more likely to reunite; if they were on different schedules, they were more likely to separate.
“If you turn up early, you can’t afford to wait around,” Gilsenan says. “It could be that your former mate is injured or even dead. If you wait, you may miss a breeding opportunity, so you need to pair up.” Adult mortality(死亡率) in blue tits is extremely high—around 50 percent—so the bird that returns first is more likely to breed again by finding a new partner rather than risk being left out entirely. The birds seem to be simply playing the odds. The researchers also discovered that if pairs maintained contact outside the breeding season, they were more likely to have synchronized(同时的) schedules and therefore to remain faithful to each other.
Josh A. Firth, a zoologist at the University of Oxford, who was not involved with the study, says this analysis apparently rules out a number of other possible causes of avian divorce, including low reproductive(生殖) success rates, and genetic or behavioral compatibility(协调). “In wild animal populations,” he says, “divorce can be driven by consequential effects—almost accidentally.”
58. We can safely conclude from the passage that _______.
A. all the birds mentioned in the passage go through divorce
B. many researchers pay much attention to the process of separation
C. Carol Gilsenan observed the birds for 8 years in their own nests
D. the faithful pairs have higher reproductive rates
59. The underlined phrase in the last but one paragraph means _______.
A. acting strangely B. happening accidentally
C. trying their luck D. doing something temporarily
60. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Bird breakup B. Faithful pairs
13
C. Divorce or not D. Breeding season
C
Did you hear what happened at yesterday’s meeting? Can you believe it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your co-workers irresistible, you’re hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?
A new study suggests it’s because the rumors are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,” writes a research team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.
The first featured 178 university undergraduates, who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident, in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group member’s secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip(“The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X”); others measured its self-promotion value(“The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X”). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns(“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group”).
In the second experiment, 122 undergraduates were assigned the role of “sales agent” at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participants in the first experiment.
In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. “Positive gossip has self-improvement value,” they write. “Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve one’s own competence. On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride.”
In addition, the results “showed that negative gossip brought about self-protection concerns,” the researchers write. “Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear.” Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: “Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant others.”
61. Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?
A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.
B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.
C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.
D. We are likely to learn lessons from others’ mistakes.
13
62. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?
A. I’ve done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.
B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary.
C. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.
D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.
63. What’s the critical difference of the second experiment compared with the first one?
A. The identities of the participants.
B. The number of the participants studied.
C. The time during which the experiment lasted.
D. The role-play technique used in the experiment.
64. What role does “negative gossip” play according to the researchers?
A. A fear killer. B. A motivator.
C. A protector. D. A subject provider.
D
Mrs. Bertha Flowers appealed to me because she was like people I had never met personally. Like women in English novels who walked the moors(旷野) with their loyal dogs racing at a respectful distance. Like the women who sat in front of roaring fireplaces, drinking tea from silver trays full of biscuits. It would be safe to say that just by being herself, she made me feel proud to be Negro.
One summer afternoon, she stopped at the store to buy supplies. Another Negro woman of her health and age would have been expected to carry the paper bags home in one hand, but Momma said, “Sister Flowers, I’ll send Bailey up to your house with these things.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Henderson. I’d prefer Marguerite, though.” My name sounded so beautiful when she said it. “I’ve been meaning to talk to her, anyway.” They gave each other agegroup looks.
There was a little path beside the rocky road, and Mrs. Flowers walked in front swinging her arms and picking her way over the stones.
Without turning her head, she spoke to me, “I hear you’re working very good school work, Marguerite, but that it’s all written. The teachers report that they have trouble getting you to talk in class.” We passed the triangular farm on our left and the path widened to allow us to walk together.
“Now no one is going to make you talk—possibly no one can. But bear in mind, language is man’s way of communicating with his fellow man and it is language alone which separates him from the lower animals.” That was a totally new idea to me, and I would need time to think about it.
“Your grandmother says you read a lot. Every chance you get. That’s good, but not good enough. Words mean more than what is set down on paper.”
She said she was going to give me some books and that I not only must read them, I must read them aloud. She suggested that I try to make a sentence sound in as many different ways as possible.
“I’ll accept no excuse if you return a book to me that has been badly handled.” My imagination boggled(退缩) at the punishment I would deserve if in fact I did abuse a book of Mrs. Flowers’.
The sweet smell of vanilla(香草) had met us as she opened the door. “Have a seat, Marguerite. You see, I had planned to invite you for cookies and lemonade so we could have this little chat.”
13
When I finished the cookies she brought a thick, small book from the bookcase. I had read A Tale of Two Cities and found it up to my standards as a romantic novel. She opened the first page and I heard poetry for the first time in my life.
“It was the best of times and worst of times...”
Her voice slid in and curved down through and over the words. She was nearly singing. I wanted to look at the pages. Were they the same that I had read? Or were there notes, music, lined on the pages? Her sounds began cascading(瀑布般落下) gently. I knew that she was nearing the end of her reading.
“How do you like that?”
It occurred to me that she expected a response. The sweet vanilla flavor was still on my tongue and her reading was a magic to my ears. I had to speak.
I said, “Yes, ma’am.” It was the least I could do, but it was the most also.
“There’s one more thing. Take this book of poems and memorize one for me. Next time you pay me a visit, I want to recite.”
I have often tried hard to search for the enchantment(着迷) I so easily found in those gifts. To be allowed, no, invited, into the private lives of strangers, to share their joys and fears, was a chance to exchange the Southern bitter wormwood(苦艾) for a cup of mead(蜂蜜酒) with Beowulf or a hot cup of tea and milk with Oliver Twist. When I said aloud, “It is a far, far better thing than anything I have ever done...” tears of love filled my eyes at my selflessness.
I was liked, and what a difference it made, I was respected not as Mr. Henderson’s grandchild or Bailey’s sister but for just being Marguerite Johnson.
65. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that Mrs. Flowers _______.
A. was born into an upper-class family B. liked to adopt artificial manners
C. was not as strong as other women D. was adored by the author’s mom
66. The author uses “agegroup looks” in paragraph 3 to _______.
A. point out that Momma and Mrs. Flowers were long acquainted
B. illustrate that there existed a generation gap between adults and children
C. indicate that Momma was surprised to hear Mrs. Flowers’ reply
D. imply that she was unaware of the impact the trip would have on her
67. What does Mrs. Flowers mean by saying “Words mean more than what is set down on paper” (paragraph 7)?
A. Besides reading, Marguerite should talk more often.
B. The content of books may have different meanings.
C. Human voice gives written words deeper meaning.
D. Spoken language is more important than written language.
68. Marguerite’s opinion of A Tale of Two Cities before and after Mrs. Flowers’ reading can be described as _______.
A. poetic … musical B. common … extraordinary
C. romantic … dramatic D. satisfactory … scholarly
69. Marguerite found recitation attractive because _______.
A. reading offered her a chance to forget the real world
13
B. Mrs. Flowers would treat her to cookies and drinks
C. she was afraid of being punished by Mrs. Flowers
D. she liked to hear Mrs. Flowers read books for her
70. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Magic of Literature B. A Lesson in Living
C. A Noble Lady D. Lost in Dickens

In such competitive society, it is difficult for us to land a job as well as to keep a job. You can greatly reduce your chances of getting hiring decisions wrong by following clear and consistent approaches that include knowing the traits valued across the organization, conducting fair, structured interviews that include multiple people from the organization, and agreeing on a standard ranking system to evaluate candidates.
Be careful of the time trap. Often, companies are desperate to fill a position, so the interview process includes some generic questions and some information about the position. Needing to fill the role yesterday is not an excuse for shortchanging the process.
We tend to hire people who are like us or make us comfortable, but that doesn’t always yield the best candidate. Actually, you need to be aware of the typical unconscious psychological traps that lead one to make inferior decisions. Outline the specific abilities—the traits you look for in all new hires—that the ideal candidate has.
Screening for the right soft skills is critical. Seasoned hiring managers will tell you that it’s much harder to coach behavioral issues than it is to teach someone the technical aspects of the job. People can fail in a new job because of their inability to develop proper relationships not only with their boss but also with their peers and subordinates. To assess relational skills and emotional intelligence, the interview should include behavior-based questions and motive and reflection questions.
When a, new hire seems to be struggling, managers can also be to blame. Most companies let their new hires sink or swim, and therefore many sink. Some form of support reduces the chances of failure, accelerates learning, and increases the contribution of any new hire. The right support can help you get immediate value from your new hire and position him or her for success.
Sometimes even when you follow all the rules, you may still end up with the wrong person in the job. When you suspect a poor fit, ask others to confirm your opinion. Don’t start a witch hunt, but carefully ask if they see the situation in the same way. Then, once you’ve identified where the mismatch is, ask yourself if the problem is solvable.
Generally coaching and repeating performance expectations should be the first step. Offer feedback to the new hire early on and lay out a plan to help him or her deal with the problem with his or her job. If the problem continues, consider finding a more appropriate role for him or her in your organization.
In the worst cases, dismissal may be your only option, particularly if you find that the problem
13
isn’t solvable. As the hiring manager, you have a large share of responsibility for the mistake, and thus you should never fire a person without thoughtful consideration.
How to Prevent Hiring Disasters
General rule
You are less (71) ▲ to hire a wrong person if you adopt clear and consistent approaches.
Before hiring
◆Avoid making decisions in a (72) ▲ just because the position is vacant.
◆Don’t let your personal (73) ▲ get in the way. You should be clear about what abilities new hires should be (74) ▲ with.
◆Remember that your interview should include questions (75) ▲ the candidate’s soft skills.
After hiring
◆Offer support to a new hire instead of (76) ▲ him/her.
◆When suspecting a poor fit, ask others to get your opinion (77) ▲ .
◆Proper coaching and feedback can (78) ▲ for the problems with a new hire. If they don’t work, get the hire (79) ▲ to another position.
◆If the new hire is a hopeless case, you’ll have to (80) ▲ him/her off.
第五部分 书面表达 (满分25分)
81. 请认真阅读下面文字及图表，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 17.23 million newborns were added to China’s population in 2017, but the birth rate dropped from 1.295 percent in 2016 to 1.243 percent in 2017. The family planning policy that now allows all couples to have two children will not change the trend of the rising aging population.
The reason for the decline in newborns’ population is the fall in the number of women of childbearing age. In 2015 the population of women aged between 15 to 49 years dropped by 5 million year-on-year and that of women aged between 20 to 29 years declined by 1.5 million. Meanwhile, women’s “fertility(生育) desire” has drastically changed from being eager “to give birth” to “don’t want to” or “can’t afford to” give birth. Perhaps the reason for this is that the change in China’s population policy falls behind the change in the “fertility culture”.
The further decline in the newborn population and fertility rate last year indicates China has fallen into the low fertility rate trap. China’s negative population growth, many demographers believe, will begin around 2025, with the overall population declining from 1.39 billion last year to about 1 billion in 2067 and the aging population continuing to rise.
To cope with the aging population, China needs to take measures to create favorable conditions for young couples, so that they can have two children and thus help sustain the country’s demographic(人口的) and social development.

China’s birth rate has been dropping rapidly since one child policy was adopted. Likewise, our new population policy can’t meet the demand of the rising aging population problem. Our new generations are facing great challenges.
The reasons accounting for the phenomena above are listed as follows. To start with, from the aspect of personal factors, the childbearing age of women has been delayed plus reluctant desire of giving birth to children, which surely contributes to less population. What’s more, from another side of our society, the world's birth rate has been dropping in general, and China is not an exception. Last but not least, though we have new family planning policy, it doesn’t work immediately, and we have a long way to go.
From my perspective, firstly, effective measures should be taken by our administration. We should pass relative laws and regulations to encourageindividuals to have children. Similarly, we should promote the awareness of every citizento realize the severe situation of the aging population problem as well. Only everyone doesn’t shrink from his responsibility and participates in it, can we cope with the aging population problems in the near future.
