I guess I didn’t expect much else. So Young has everything a popular youth film should have: Beautiful young actors, a story about colorful campus life and involved romance, and a strong sense of longing for something past The leading female character Zheng Wei (Yang Zishan) enrolls at university to stay close to her childhood sweetheart Lin Jing (Han Geng). But when Lin moves abroad to pursue his education, life loses its shine for Zheng. Until she meets the dynamic yet cool Chen Xiaozheng (Mark Chao). The film also features a bunch of vivid supporting characters: The school beauty who falls in love with a worthless unimportant person, the rich kid who is rejected by his dream girl, and Zheng’s boyish roommate with a huge ego(自我). Together they put on quite a show under Zhao’s direction and her smooth and aesthetic camera work. You’ll find yourself laughing over their trivial yet funny life on campus in the early 1990s.As expected, the film’s second half takes the audience to years later when the characters have moved on into different corners of society. But the film unexpectedly doesn’t focus on the comedic vibe and turns into a serious discussion about the meaning of life and love. Through the events in their current life and flashbacks of their college years, the film describes how life has changed these characters. And that’s where the film goes wrong. The emotional change of the characters seems overhasty. If you watch the 2011 youth film You’re the Apple of My Eye, you’ll find that the film’s resonance( 共 鸣 )with the audience accumulates from the beginning ― through details like sexual fantasies and so on ― and peaks in the end. In So Young, the sudden emotional touch with endless splendid lines just isn’t enough to strike our hearts. Zhao also clearly wanted to give every character a proper ending. But unfortunately she tried a bit too hard, making the film’s second half feel lengthy and unedited. Even so, given my reasonably low expectations, Zhao still gets full credits for her effort as a first-time director. Without her insightful input and observations, I think the film would have been worse. Just as time wrinkles the skin but enriches the soul, an ordinary film may as well be the best motivation for Zhao to make better ones in the future. 41. Which of the following is correct according to this passage? A. This film has everything a popular fiction film should have. B. The leading female character goes to college to have a bright future. C. The school beauty who falls in love with a boy with a huge ego. D. A bunch of vivid supporting characters make the film more colorful. 42. That the film goes wrong mainly because _______. A. the film involves the characters’ trivial yet funny life on campus. B. the film describes the characters’ current life and flashbacks of their college years C. the film doesn’t focus on the comedic vibe but turns into a serious discussion about the meaning of life and love D. the film describes how life has changed these characters 43. The word “ overhasty” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to_______. A. surprising B. obvious C. hurried D. complicated 44. Zhao still gets full credits for her effort as a first-time director, because_______. A. the film would have been worse B. she made the film’s second half feel lengthy and unedited. C. she had insightful input and observations. D. the author didn’t give high expectations to this film 45. The attitude of the author towards this film is________. A. appreciative B. objective C. critical D. doubtful B Here are some tips for applying to US colleges. Why are American universities so expensive? First of all, I'll say that American education is expensive for Americans but you're getting a high-quality education from some of the best professors in the world with some of the best resources and facilities in the world. American universities have state-of-the-art laboratories, computers, research systems, classrooms and all that is expensive. And also at many U.S. universities, you're learning from leading researchers and people who are at the top of the line in their field so it's also expensive for universities to have those people as professors. So, you're paying for a quality product—that's why it's very expensive. What kind of financial aid is available? It really depends on the university what kind of financial aid is available. There are a lot of opportunities out there for international students. There are some universities that have merit-based scholarships. Many have scholarships in general for international students. There are athletic scholarships, scholarships based on a specific talent. Are school rankings important? I know that rankings matter to a lot of parents and students worldwide, but here in the U.S. we pay very little attention to rankings. The rankings that are produced are actually the opinion of several different magazines. The official government doesn't have a universal ranking system. With that said, we know that for many families abroad and outside the United States, rankings are very important. So as a university, we try to make that information available so that students can see our rankings. How can I prepare for the visa interview? As long as you are a genuine student, it's likely that you will receive your visa. When you go for the interview they're looking for generally three things. One, of course, when you go into that visa interview, you should really know things about the university that you're going to, why you're going there, why you want to study, what you want to study—that's how you show that you're a genuine student. The second thing that they're looking for is to be sure that you have the finances t o cover your educational program. You'll have to submit the same bank documentation you used in order to get your I-20 to the U.S. Embassy as part of your interview to prove that you are able to pay for your education in the U.S. The next thing that they're mainly looking for is to be sure that you're a legitimate student and that you're not looking to move to the United States, that you have a reason to return to your home country, prospective employment. 46. The passage mainly talks about some tips for applying to US colleges except ___________. A. high-quality education B. financial aid C. school rankings D. visa interview 47. Why are American universities so expensive? A. Because there are so many international students aims at applying to US colleges. B. Because Americans are getting a high-quality education. C. Because state-of-the-art laboratories, computers, research systems, classrooms are all expensive. D. Because leading researchers and top professors are expensive for universities 48. What kind of financial aid is available? A. merit-based scholarships B. athletic scholarships C. scholarships based on a specific talent. D. It depends on the university 49. Why do American universities try to make the school rankings available? A. Rankings matter to a lot of parents and students in the U.S. B. They want to let students get whole information so that they can see their rankings clear. C. Many families abroad and outside the United States pay great attention to school rankings D. The rankings that are produced are actually the opinion of several different magazines. 50. Which of the following statement is true? A. American universities have the best professors in the world. B. Universities have merit-based scholarships for every international student. C. Rankings are very important in U.S., so we try to make that information available D. You'll have to submit the same bank documentation you used in order to get your proof to the U.S. C Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school. These are the things I learned. Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters(仓鼠) and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they all die. So do we. And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: Look. Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology and politics and sane living. Think of what a better world it would be if we all the whole world had cookies and milk about 3 o’clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap, or if we had a basic policy in our nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is better to hold hands and stick together. 51. What can kids learn in kindergarten? A. Apologize to the person who is hurt by you. B. Share toys with your friends. C. Balance your study, work and play. D. Communicate with your friends effectively. A. abc B. abd C. bcd D. abcd 52. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the underlined sentences? A. To tell the kids that the little animals and the little seed all have a short life. B. To call up the kids to protect the animals and plants. C. To make the kids realize that life is short and we have to cherish our life. D. To recommend kids to raise some animals in their spare time. 53. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage? A. Adults as we are, we are supposed to help and support each other when necessary. B. What we learnt in kindergarten has a great effect on our future lives. C. Kindergarten is the most important period in our lives. D. I learned in kindergarten all I ever needed to know. 54. How is the text organized? A. Topic—Argument—Explanation B. Opinion—Discussion—Description C. Main idea—Comparison—Supporting examples D. Introduction—Supporting examples—Conclusion D Having worked at a 7-Eleven store for two years, I thought I had become successful at what our manager calls “customer relations”. I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an automatic “sir”, “ma’am”, and “thank you” would see me through any situation that might arise, from soothing（安 慰，劝慰）impatient or unpleasant people to apologizing for givin g out the wrong change. But the other night an old woman shattered my belief that a glib（非诚恳的）response could smooth over the rough spots of dealing with other human beings. The moment she entered, the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slowly pushed open the glass door. She coughed dryly, breathing noisily with each breath. On a forty-degree night, she was wearing only a faded print dress, a thin sweater too small to button, and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose heels. There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined legs. After strolling around the store for several minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She picked up some corn niblets and stared with a strange intensity at the label. At that point, I decided to be a good employee and asked her if she needed help. As I stood close to her, my smile became harder to maintain; her red-rimmed eyes were partially closed by yellowish crusts; her hands were covered with layer upon layer of dirt, and the unpleasant smell of sweat rose in a thick vaporous cloud from her clothes. “I need some food,” she muttered（嘟囔）in reply to my bright “Can I help you?” “Are you looking for corn, ma’am?” “I need some food,” she repeated. “Any kind.” “Well, the corn is ninety-five cents,” I said in my most helpful voice. “Or, if you like, we have a special on bologna（大红肠）today.” “I can’t pay,” she said. For a second, I was tempted to say, “Take the corn.” But the employee rules flooded into my mind: Remain polite, but do not let customers get the best of you. Let th em know that you are in control. For a moment, I even entertained the idea that this was some sort of test, and that this woman was someone from the head office, testing my loyalty. I responded dutifully, “ I’m sorry, ma’am, but I can’t give away anything for free.” The old woman’s face collapsed a bit more, if that were possible, and her hands trembled as she put the can back on the shelf. She shuffled（蹒跚）past me toward the door, her torn and dirty clothing barely covering her bent back. Moments after she left, I rushed out the door with the can of corn, but she was nowhere in sight. For the rest of my shift, the image of the woman kept coming to my mind. I had been young, healthy. She had been old, sick and desperate. Wishing with all my heart that I had acted like a human being rather than a robot, I was saddened to realize how fragile a hold we have on our better instincts（本 能，天性）. 55. What does the underlined world “shatter” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Maintain. B. Break. C. Hold. D. Lose. 56. Which is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. The old lady’s clothes. B. The environment of the store. C. The writer’s feeling. D. The old lady’s difficulty in walking. 57. What can we learn from the text? A. The old lady couldn’t afford the foods at the store. B. The writer was an experienced shop assistant. C. The writer talked with the old lady in a polite way. D. The old lady was satisfied with his service. 58. According to the text, which is not the employee rule? A. You should wear a friendly smile on your face. B. You should use polite words, such as “sir”, “ma’am”, “thank you”. C. You should do whatever the customers asked you to do. D. You should be clear about your duty and be loyal to the company. 59. How did the writer feel after the old lady left the store? A. Annoyed. B. Pleasant. C. Regretful. D. Embarrassed. 60. What’s the best title for the text? A. A Lady and I B. Working at A Store. C. If Only …… D. Sadness. 第二节：下面文章中有 5 个段落需要添加小标题（第 61—65 题）。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、 E 和 F）中选出适合各段落的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是 多余选项。 A. No zuo, no die. B. I just want to be a quiet and handsome man. C. Rich and Bitch D. Are you kidding me? E. It’s so beautiful that I’m too scared to open it. F. So the question is…… It’s already 2015, you know. So it’s time to do a year-end summary! According to “Evening Peak News” of Voice of China, Chinese netizens have summed up top 10 network buzzwords（流行 词）of 2014, five of which are listed here in no particular order. Dare you say you’ve never said one of them? 61. __________ Have you noticed that so many people claimed themselves to be what the buzzword means in friends circle and Sina weibo. What a poisonous world! The buzzword originates from a real event: In April, Mr. Liu spent 1760 yuan online buying a health care product. Soon after, he got calls from a stranger who persuade him to buy other matched medicines. In the following four months, Mr. Liu remitted（汇款）a total of 540,000 yuan to the swindler. He said that he had already found himself cheated when he was fooled out of 70,000 yuan. "I just wanted to see how much could they take from me!" 62. __________ The father of the buzzword can be traced back to Linghu Chong, a character in Jin Yong’s “Swordsman”. He satirizes（讥讽）others’ flattering by saying "The moment I see those who flatter（奉承）me would I feel so uncomfortable as if I were drunk.” Then a group of DOTA players often use this phrase. No matter one’s skill is good or bad, they will say this phrase. 63. __________ The pattern of “contract for fishpond”, which comes from the TV play “Boss & Me” is also on the list. The boss Zhang Han said, “I want the whole world knows that you have contacted（承包）the fishpond,” with Zhao Liying in his arms. “Sb. work so hard” was a very simple word of mouth. After Cao Ge mentioned it many times in Where Are We Going, Dad?, the expression has been widely spread on the Internet. Besides, how can it be excluded(排除) from the top 10 buzzwords of 2014? 64. __________ The buzzword comes from the advertising of Lanxiang Vocational school. In October, Zhang Le, a member of Net Ease comment zone, deliberately commented with a long story in a news thread. At the end of the story there would be a sentence: So the question is: which is the strongest in Excavator Technology? Then after the screenshots of the thread was posted to the microblogging and friends circle, it has been widely reproduced, which makes the ad of Lanxiang popular again. 65. __________ This phrase comes from the mini-drama "never expected." In one episode, Tang Monk rescued the Monkey King from under Five Elements Mountain and they embarked on a pilgrimage to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures（佛经）. The director who plays the monk speaks out this phrase as a usual self-flattering expression, pretending to be the most handsome. This phrase is often used by ugly and thick boys for self-ridicule. 非选择题部分（共 40 分） 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节：短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 下面短文中有 10 处语言错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。 During my second month of nursing school, our professor gives us a pop quiz. I was a careful student and had easily dealt with the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen a cleaning woman several time. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, and how could I know her name? I handed out my paper, left the last question blank. Before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolute," said the professor. "In your careers you meet many people. All are significant.

English Visual-Audie-Oral Course is a good choice. Most of us are interested in English videos and songs, which provide us vivid images and the rhyming rhythm. Thus, we can enjoy the local customs and western cultures as well as learn to sing English songs with joy and excitement. In addition, it’s necessary for us to improve our oral English. Although we are always learning English, we may not make a fluent speech or strongly debate with others like native speakers. That is why I recommend Speech and Eloquence Course. Pure pronunciation, classical expressions an d elegant gestures will be offered for us to learn and imitate. I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation. (132) Yours sincerely, Yao Min
