At one time, this was pretty much true. During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier.The network of Roman roads was begun in 312 BC. It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down. Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers. There were all together 4 layers, which was made of different materials, such as sand, rocks, stones and so on.Also, Roman roads were cambered (拱形). This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑), placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile). The milestones told when the road was built, who was emperor at the time, the roads destination, how far the traveler was from the destination, and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road. This information was a great help to travelers.Because of their excellence in construction, it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today. These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.21. The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPT _.A. Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineersB. Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we dont use todayC.

I left my letter of offer on my present bosss desk, turned around, and closed the door quietly. I was expecting a call from my boss saying congratulations, which would show her approval of my leaving.In the afternoon, my boss called me, saying, “Can we meet tomorrow?” That was a good signal. The next day, I met with my boss. She said, “Nicholas, we want you. What do you want?” I said, “Boss, I deserve a significant pay raise this year due to my outstanding performance. I think I need a 10% pay raise next year as a condition for me to stay here.” My boss said, “No problem.”When I left her office, I called Lynn University and told them that I was going to get a 10% pay raise. They had to give me 10% more than their original pay offer in order for me to accept the job. The new boss told me that he was willing to give me more, but I would feel very bad working at this university with such a high pay. I would win a battle, but I would lose a war. He said, The problem is that your colleague will earn less than you, so you will feel guilty and uncomfortable. But, I can still give you 5% more than the original offer.I delivered this massage to my present boss, and she told me that she would give me another 5% pay raise if I promised to refuse this new job offer. On top of that, she would strongly support my early promotion from assistant professor to associate professor. According to the university policy, you must take at least 6 years to get promoted. That was my third year of employment at this university. After refusing the new job offer, I finally enjoyed both a pay raise and early promotion.24.

Nicholas was not experienced enough to get such a raise.D. Nicholas would not feel good for earning too much more than others.26.

In the text, the author mainly tells his experience of _.A. earning a pay raiseB. refusing a job offerC. applying for a new positionD. making decisions in the workplaceCHortonAt first glance, there is little in Horton to attract people. The other nearby towns have much more to offer: Bradfield has its river and historic buildings, while Newtown has shops and entertainment. The buildings of Horton look dirty and unloved. For shops, there is a small supermarket, a few bargain shops, a bakery which, strangely, does not sell bread and a florist which has one stand of sad-looking flowers. Even so, Horton has several advantages over its neighbouring towns.Firstly, it has a country park. Four thousand years ago, this was an important fort. There are no historic remains here now, but there are wonderful views over the countryside. On sunny weekends you can often see kids out with their parents, kicking balls or flying kites.There arent many job opportunities in Horton, and the roads to nearby cities arent really fast, but there are excellent rail links. You can be in London in an hour and a half, and other cities are less than an hour away. That means that parents can earn a good salary and still get home in time to spend the evenings with their families. Houses in Horton arent pretty, but theyre functional and cheap. The streets are quiet and safe, and there are plenty of parks and playgrounds. It has a library, three primary schools and a secondary school, St. Marks. It is friendly and offers a wide range of subjects and activities to children of all abilities and backgrounds. The town also has a swimming and a sports center, and the community halls hold regular clubs and events for people of all ages.28. What is the writers main purpose?A. To explain what tourists can do in Horton.B. To explain why Horton is a good place to live in.C. To explain why Horton is not as pleasant as other towns.D. To describe the history of Horton.29. Which part of Horton does the writer find disappointing?A. the shops B. country park C. transport links D. the schools30. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Horton?A. plenty of parks and playgrounds B. historical buildingsC. the quiet and safe streets D. functional and cheap houses31. What advantages does Horton bring to workers?A. There are plenty of jobs available in the town.B. You can drive to nearby cities in a short time.C. You can get to several cities quickly by train.D. Working conditions are better here than in other towns.DAccording to researchers, money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly bring you happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found.Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably (适度地) happier when they spent money on others-even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia.They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.“Regardless of how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.Dunns team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000.“Employees who devoted more of their bonus to pro-social (有益社会的) spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.“These findings suggest that very minor alterations in spending allocations (分配) -as little as $5-may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.32. According to the passage, _.A. the more money you spend on others, the happier you areB. spending money on others can bring you happinessC. Elizabeth Dunn is a psychologist from Harvest Business SchoolD. six hundred volunteers took part in the experiment33. The 16 employees mentioned in the passage _.A. were given clear instructions on how to spend the bonusB. had more happiness than the size of the bonus itselfC. experienced greater happiness after receiving their bonusD. felt happier after they contributed much of the bonus to charities34. Dunns statement suggested that _.A. those who spent money on others felt happier no matter how much they earnedB. those who spent more money on themselves felt happierC. people thought spending money could make themselves happierD. the money spent was as important as the money earned35. The best title of this passage is _.A. Experiment on Money SpendingB. Devoting Your Money to CharitiesC. Spending Money on Others Makes One HappierD. Bonus and Pro-social Spending 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。Have you ever been in a situation where you have done something just to make someone else happy?You think that you are making yourself happy. 36 I have done that many times because I wanted to impress people or I thought that if I made someone else happy it would certainly make me happy. I understand that all of us want our close friends and family to be proud of us, so we work hard in school or in our careers to meet their expectations. 37 But if you are trying to realize other peoples dreams without keeping yourself satisfied, you will never be happy.So you have to be clear and honest with yourself about what you want in your life. If you are honest with yourself, you will be more optimistic. 38 You feel like you wont need to achieve something for someone else. 39 They fear to be rejected (排斥) by others. They think and say “If I choose this job or career path, that person will think I am out of my mind”, or “I really want to start this business but those people will think that I wont make any money”. 40 Dont think this way. If you follow other peoples wishes but cannot be true to yourself, you will have a hard time feeling great about yourself.A. There is nothing wrong with that.B. So why dont I follow what they say?C. And you will develop a drive from your heart.D. So we should try our best to realize our dreams.E. But we sometimes have to meet expectations from others.F. The truth is that you are really trying to make someone else happy.G. Why do so many people want to live their dreams for someone else? 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题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。In 2014 I was 22 years old and had just come back to Brazil after 14 months in England, holding my Cambridge Proficiency certificate.
