I have been proud of my wit ( 机智幽默). However, recently I've learned a lesson: keeping my thoughts to myself and we'd better follow the policy of “Silence is golden”.
In a college literature course, one of my classmates had a habit of arriving a few minutes late each class. She was a lovely and well-dressed girl from a big city. Some of my classmates even discussed her elegant clothes after class. One day, when the professor was about to start the class, he said in a slightly angry tone, “Where is Miss X ” It seemed that no one could reply, and the silence was coming awkward. To break the embarrassing atmosphere, I offered in an amusing way, “She likes to make a grand entry.”
My words, however, were greeted with more awkward silence, and even the professor stared at me for a second. No one felt what I said was humorous, which made me confused. We all had witnessed this student's constantly late arrivals. Months later, to my astonishment and chagrin(懊恼),I knew the reason for others’ strange response:My classmate was from a famous noble family. I suddenly realized my remarks could have been interpreted as a mean dig(嘲讽)at her private status. I regretted what I had said, but the course was over, and it was impossible for me to make amends (补救).
As I recall this experience and other examples of ill-considered words I have said, Irealize that it is better for us to think twice rather than coming up with a witty, fact-based reply because what you say can't be taken back. In this way, we can avoid some unnecessary awkwardness or hurt.
24. What does the author think he is good at
A. Making clever jokes.
B. Breaking the silence.
C. Having a creative mind.
D. Putting forward good policies.
25. How did the class react to the author's words
A. They burst out laughing.
B. They couldn't figure them out.
C. They got a sense of well-being.
D. They remained silent as before.
26. Why does the author answer the professor's question
A. To add joy to class.
B. To enhance teamwork.
C. To relax the whole class.
D. To make relationships stronger.
27. How can we be humorous according to the author
A. By imitating others` manner.
B. By using considered words.
C. By giving a fact-based reply.
D. By making clever conversations.
C
Everybody likes to laugh sometimes, whether at a funny joke, an amusing incident or a comical photograph or sound. The great thing is that once we've had a good laugh, we feel happier. It would seen ; therefore, that bringing a bit of humor into more serious situations might be good for us.
Places like a humorless office or a tense classroom could sometimes do with a good dose of laughter. Seeing the funny side of things can certainly lift our spirits and that in turn can make us feel better about what we're doing. Maybe we should get inspiration from Steve Carlisle, president of General Motors of Canada. He says “Humor can help people feel more relaxed, more comfortable and thus be more effective at what they do.” Humor can be used by teachers in the classroom too. It's a good way to break the ice with students and create a more relaxed atmosphere which is good for learning.
But we have to be careful: not everyone laughs at the same things. While some of us may admire a work colleague or fellow student for their well-told joke, others may consider them offensive! According to Professor Schweitzer, from the University of Philadelphia's Wharton School, a worker or boss who successfully uses humor is seen as both confident and competent, which in turn increases his or her status. His study Risky Business: When Humor Increases and Decreases Status also found that someone who tells inappropriate jokes is also seen as confident but they're also regarded as incompetent.
So telling the right jokes in the office or classroom can spread some happiness. A study published in The Journal of Behavioral and Applied Management in 2006, which found for healthcare workers, emotional exhaustion was significantly lower among those who experienced greater levels of fun at work. And other research has discovered that teams who share more jokes gave more supportive and constructive statements to each other and that's no joke!
28. In what way does Steve Carlisle try to get along with his employees
A. Helpful ways. B. Inspiring ways. C. Confident ways. D. Humorous ways.
29. How should a new teacher do if he or she is to appear confident and competent
A. Try to be relaxed. B. Try to be careful. C. Tell jokes. D. Keep calm.
30. What does the underlined phrase “break the ice” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Have a conversation. B. Have an argument.
C. Break a habit. D. Talk about ice.
31. How is someone seen as when they tell unsuitable jokes
A. Easy-going. B. Incapable. C. Stupid. D. Enjoyable.
D
The effects of advertising often work in tricky ways. Many people don't even realise they are being marketed to when they change their behaviour after encountering advertisements. Advertising is such a powerful psychological tool that an entire field of study devoted to unlocking how advertising influences consumer behaviour has been developed.
Another effect of advertising is educating consumers about specific products or services.This can be part of the persuasion written in an ad. In an advertisement, a company can influence potential buyers by showing how the product works and how it can solve the problems they face. For example, a dog owner who previously thought there was no solution to his dog's anxiety can learn through a dog vest ad that there actually is a solution, and that solution is the gentle pressure provided by the vest.
Advertisements generally use similar language. Many advertisements are designed to make the viewers take immediate action. Words and phrases often used in such ads include “Buy now!” “Get started!” and “Try now!”. Specifically, the part of an ad that pushes for immediate action is called “call to action”, which is important to any ad because it drives the viewers or listeners to take action. Besides, companies usually use persuasive language in the rest of the advertisement. This can be a recommendation from a previous buyer, a chart showing the product's benefits, or a list of the product's benefits.
Advertising is part of marketing. Although the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably(可替换地), they aren't the same thing. Marketing is the broad process of researching consumers needs, collecting and evaluating data related to those needs and developing various strategies for attracting consumers. Advertising, on the other hand, strictly refers to the process of attracting potential customers to make a sale.
32. Why does the author tell the story about the dog owner
A. To show consumers learn about products for pets from ads.
B. To show consumers' problems are the inspiration for advertisers.
C. To show consumers are affected by ads offering solutions to their problems.
D. To show consumers' needs can be satisfied by companies devoted to advertising.
33. What's the text structure
34. What's the author's attitude towards advertisements
A. Subjective. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How Does Advertising Influence People
B. What Are the Advantages of Advertising
C. How Does Marketing Differ from Advertising
D. What Are People's Attitudes towards Advertising

Are you a moviegoer If so, then there's no better place to watch something than on the big screen at the cinema. You enter the dark、hall and take your seat, ready to be entertained. 36
Over the last few years, cinemas have seen a resurgence(复兴). Customers have been attracted by comfortable seats, and lots of choice of things to watch. Multiplexes(多放映厅影院)can screen up to twenty films at the same time, catering for all different tastes. 37 So, what's not to like about a trip to the cinema
One answer to that question is convenience. Rather than going out, it's so much easier to stay in and watch a movie on a high-definition TV screen via a streaming service. 38 But, personally, I find there are lo o many distractions, and watching at home is not such an event.
39 And in the UK, it's brought about a boost in TV watching and online streaming, according to media watchdog, Ofcom. It also found that half of UK adults will keep and continue using their new streaming subscriptions.
40 They rely on the release of a big blockbuster to bring the crowds back, but the launch of new films, such as James Bond: No Time To Die, are being delayed. And Disney has released its $200m blockbuster, Mulan, online instead of in movie theatres.
A. This isn't great news for cinemas.
B. There's plenty of choice, and it's relatively cheap.
C. This has put the future of cinemas under the spotlight.
D. The idea of waiting to make your movies more profitable doesn't make sense.
E. But recently, so ne cinemas have had to close hecause of reduced ticket sales.
F. In addition, 3D and even 4D movies can give the audience an extra immersive experience.
G. But while you engage yourself in some movie magic, many others are now getting their film fix at home.

Looking out from my desk is a note. It's a card from my mother, containing only four sentences, but 41 enough to change my life. In it, she 42 my abilities as a writer without qualification. Each sentence is filled with 43 , offering specific examples of what my pursuit has meant to her and my father. The word “but” never 44 , however, “and” is there many times.
Every time I read it, I'm 45 to ask myself if I'm doing the same thing for my daughter. Although she usually got all A's on her report card, her teachers always suggested she 46 too much in class. I 47 forgot to ask them if she was making improvement in controlling her behavior. Instead, I would greet her with, “Congratulations! Your Dad and I are proud of your 48 , but could you try to tone(调整语调) it down in class ”
The fact is that “but” feels bad “and” feels good. When children feel good about themselves, they do more of it, building their self-confidence and their harmonious 49 to others.
This is no l to say that children won't 50 to their parents’ expectations. They will 51 whether those expectations are good or bad. Amazing things 52 when those expectations are 53 positive, “I see you made a 54 . And I know you are intelligent enough to 55 what you did wrong and make a better decision next time.”

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Children are naturally curious beings, but getting them 56 (learn) something that they aren't interested in can be a difficult task. Teachers and parents often find themselves 57 (turn) to rewards in the form of stars, promises of high grades and wonderful 58 (career), or threats of punishment. But what if rewards and threats aren't the answer
Natural curiosity is 59 (normal) referred to as “intrinsic(内在的) motivation” sometimes. Lately studies 60 (find) that children who see learning 61 fun and important are better at it. And it's easy to understand why 62 is difficult to study something we aren't engaged with, and if we're enthusiastic about the information we're learning, it feels more meaningful.
Extrinsic(外在的) motivation is really 63 (benefit). Praise and stimulation based on either achieving good grades 64 fear of punishment has been acknowledged to motivate older students. However, it seems that at an early age, it doesn't have as much effect.
The key is to allow some degree of autonomy and 65 (free). If you want to teach a child to read, let them choose which book they use. Whether it's a graphic novel, TV guide or classic literature the aim of stimulating their appetite for reading is met.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落的开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
This summer vacation has nearly come to an end, but I have hardly finished reading any useful books or updated any satisfactory writings. With an empty head and a guilty feeling, I owe this to my involuntary addition to the mobile phone.
This is not because I have more free time and rely on my MP as a time-killer. On the contrary, I am occupied by various chores and time left at my will is only pieces of hours. I give up doing serious and creative things during these fragments of hours, making excuses for myself: “I am tired so I need to do something easy and relaxing...” But, sticking my face to the MP turns out to be by no means relaxing. My vision becomes more unclear and precious time is wasted.
The prime culprit(元凶) should be WeChat: Being quick-responsive to any message sent to me is a bad habit; Being afraid of losing track of what all my “friends” are doing comes at a price; The colorful ads of “daigou” sacks(洗劫) not only my purse... The other two accomplices(共犯) that l need to put in jail at once are Taobao and Koala (though I know I can't bear to do that!)
I have to admit that a lot of apps provide much convenience to my life, such as dictionaries, maps, music, e-books and apps for stock dealing, for taxi booking, for ticket and hotel booking, for picture processing etc. The side effect is that I am so buried in these attractive apps that I just can't put my MP down, close my eyes for a while and think what my priority is.
注意：I. 续写内容应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At night, I happily get onto my bed with a book in my hand, hoping to enjoy some “quality” time by myself.
Now I am looking at the desktop of my mobile phone, full of apps.
