Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them.Peer (同龄人) pressure has always been a big part of the teens experience. Even the best father cant completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗) the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example.Teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church, even though Mom doesnt, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend.Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens. Fathers dont get to make those choices for them, but they can be influenced. For example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents concern on what to do when they finish high school. Should they go directly to college and, if so, where? Should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job? A fathers guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.24. Teenagers without fathers focus are more likely to_A. have higher self-worthB. experience some dangerous thingsC. become the best students in schoolD. resist all bad effects of peer pressure25. What does the third paragraph tell us?A. More teenagers pay no attention to their parents.B. Teenagers never attend church with their mothers.C. Teenagers often treat their fathers as role models.D. Fewer teenagers like to attend church with their fathers.26. Which can replace the underlined word “perspective” in the last paragraph?A. lots of concernB. jobC. SchoolD. point of view27. What can we learn from the text?A. Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathers.B. Teenagers care less about what their parents do.C. Mothers have no effect on their childrens life.D. Fathers should make choices for teenagers directly.CThree Feet From GoldDarbys uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore(矿石). He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So, with the “strike”, he returned home. And with the help of Darby, he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the machinery and having it shipped, Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!Then something happened! The vein(矿脉) of gold ore disappeared! They drilled(钻孔) on, but all in vain. Finally, they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineers calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek experts advice before giving up.Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was years in doing so.Long afterward, Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune, for he stopped three feet from gold, Darby benefited from the experience in his chosen work, saying to himself, “I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say no when I ask them to buy insurance.”Darby sold more than a million dollars in life insurance annually. He owes(把归功于.) his “stick-ability” to the lesson he learned from his “quit-ability” in the gold mining business.28. Darbys uncle went back home to _.A. receive his rewardB. seek financial supportC. look for more helpersD. consult an engineer29. The Darbys failed in mining business because of_.A. stopping drilling onB. the disappearance of the veinC. the shortage of the machineryD. competing against the junk man30. From the passage, we can know Darby _.A. was unable to pay off the debtsB. mined his gold from the failureC. learned a lesson from selling insuranceD. devoted himself to making new discoveries31. The author intends to tell us that _.A. hopes and difficulties exist side by side.B. correct decisions results from correct judgment.C. we should catch it when an opportunity comes.D. we wont reach our goal unless we carry on.DAs years went by, I realized that one of the biggest problems of adults was worry. A large majority of my students were businessmen, executives, salesmen, engineers, accountants: a cross section of all the trades and professions and most of them had problems! There were women in the classes business women and housewives. They too had problems. Clearly, what I needed was a textbook on how to conquer worry. So again, I tried to find one.I went to the New York great public library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and discovered to my astonishment that this library had only twenty-two books listed under the title WORRY. I also noticed, to my amusement, that it had one hundred and eighty-nine books listed under WORMS(虫子). Almost nine times as many books about worms as about worry! Surprising, isnt it? Since worry is one of the biggest problems facing mankind, you would think, wouldnt you, that every high school and college in the land would give a course on “How to Stop Worrying”?Yet, if there is even one course on that subject in any college in the land, I have never heard of it. No wonder David Seabury said in his book How to Worry Successfully: “We come to maturity(成熟) with as little preparation for the pressures of experience as a bookworm asked to do a ballet(芭蕾).” The result? More than half of our hospital beds are all occupied by people with nervous and emotional troubles.I looked over those twenty-two books on worry on the shelves of the New York Public Library. In addition, I bought all the books on worry I could find; yet I couldnt discover even one that I could use as a text in my course for adults. So I decided to write one by myself.32. What made the writer realize one of the adults biggest problems?A. His wide reading.B. His practical survey.C. His students real situation. D. His scientific research.33. The writer went to New Yorks great public library with the purpose of _.A. getting a book for his teachingB. finding some material for his new bookC. obtaining some information for his researchD. borrowing some books on worms for his students34. What do David Seaburys words in Paragraph 3 show?A. Worry is extremely common.B. We lack knowledge of worry.C. We show no interest in worry.D. Worry can hardly be controlled.35. Whats the authors purpose of writing the passage?A. To warn us of the possible danger of worry.B. To persuade us to get rid of worry.C. To explain why he wrote a book on worry.D. To tell us how to conquer worry.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most of us in China are used to paying for everything with our phones. 36 At least, this was the case for Lim Swee Say from Singapore, who found his first experience with Chinese payment methods quite impressive. Lim was waiting in line to buy nuts at a street stall(货摊) in Shanghai and saw other customers show their phone and take the nuts without giving cash. 37 .It seems that Singapore falls behind in mobile payments. Some Chinese tourists find it inconvenient when they have to use cash in Singapore. 38 . According to Xinhua News Agency, many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists, with WeChat Pay covered in 13 overseas countries and regions and Alipay over 200. Its now common to see the familiar green or blue logos in tourist destinations around the world, from a tiny shop in the Scottish Highlands to a huge department store in New York.Mobile payments are now a normal part of life in China, and the trend is sweeping other nations. According to Forrester Research, in America, mobile payments rose by 37 percent in 2016. 39 . This may be partly because western mobile payment services require businesses to install expensive equipment before customers can use them. 40 .A. While in China, all it takes is a QR code (二维码) and a phone.B. The popularity of Chinese mobile payments has pushed some foreign companies to accept them.C. But for foreign visitors who arent familiar with this method, it may seem strange.D. Foreign tourists don t like to pay with their mobile phones.E. He was trying to figure out how they got paid.F. Soon afterwards, he realized that the customers were using WeChat Pay.G. Still, Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater than those in the US.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, discussing the exam due to begin in a few 41 . On their faces was confidence.

And smiles 49 on the students faces as they noted there were only five essay-type questions.Three hours had passed 50 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.He looked at the 51 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 52 a hand was raised.“How many answered four?” Still no hands.“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 53 .” But the class remained silent.The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 54 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that, 55 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 56 you dont know. These questions you couldnt answer are relatively 57 in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all 58 this course, but remember even if you are now college graduates, your education has just 59 .”The years have 60 the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.41.

It is more than an old clich (陈词滥调) , but 61 good way to live your life.First, honesty is the 62 (easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies.Second, honesty gives us much 63 (free). Many people believe that being honest limits them in life, but that is not true. Sooner or later those dishonest people 64 (pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary, when we are honest, we are 65 (true) free.If there were two people 66 (stand) before you, a person with a record of being honest and a person 67 is known to be dishonest, who would you be more likely 68 (believe)? Im sure most people would side with the honest person. 69 we live in the truth or we live in lies. Truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing but more troubles. Honesty is a choice that we make each day. The choice is 70 (you). What will you choose?第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线（_），并在该词下面写出修改后的词。1、每处错误及其修改均仅限一词2、只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。Dear Amy,I am writing to thank you for your congratulations at my success in the translation competition.
