Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate (候选人), Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans.But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote , especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldnt vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.This is not only because young people dont like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.“Young people are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older age groups, they have a home, they pay taxes (税), they care about schools and the community.”Many believe that the civic (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they dont vote.Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they havent learned how to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at the Pennsylvania State University.He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.21. What percentage of young voters wouldnt go to vote?A. 9 percent. B. 12 percent. C. 20 percent. D. 55 percent.22. According to Rodd Freitag, young people are less likely to vote because _.A. they dont like either of the candidates. B. their parents dont like to vote.C. they dont think it is a part of their life.D. they have no work and care little about living problems.23. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. US Young Not Voting B. US Young and Their PresidentC. Young Peoples Power D. Voting for the New US PresidentBI worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a large company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something Id always wanted to dobecome a freelance(自由撰稿的)writer. Changing professions has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways. The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible(灵活的)schedule. I work about as much as I did beforebetween 45 and 50 hours a weekbut my schedule is much less rigid(刻板的)than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 a. m. , then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me. I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. Ive also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home. Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I dont feel as safe financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelancely, I dont have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure that theres enough money until the next check arrives. All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesnt mean Ill never want to have a“regular”job. But for me, at least, it suits me. 24. The author decided to become a freelance writer because_. A. he didnt like to work in the company B. he liked writing C. the boss didnt like him D. the boss had another person do the job25. What is the main difference after the job change? A. That he doesnt need to work hard. B. That he can earn much more money. C. That he can watch TV as long as he likes. D. That he can change his schedule as he likes. 26. What is his chief problem now? A. He has no job to do. B. He has to worry about money. C. He must work harder than before. D. His health has changed worse than before.27. At the end of the passage, the author indicates that_. A. he wants to have a regular job. B. he must change his job to earn more money. C. he wants to work as a manager in the near future. D. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future.CThe average（平均的）American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared: *TV makes kids stupid. Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children. *TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age. *Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食), a widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements. *TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap (小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution. 28. Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs? A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others. B. they will improve childrens ability to get along with others. C. They are likely to make children more aggressive. D. They will make sure of childrens success in the future. 29. Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat? A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV. C. Watching TV doesnt burn up as much fat as doing sports. D. Children like to snack while watching TV. 30. What influence does watching TV have on a childs sleep? A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.B. Childrens sleep time will be greatly reduced. C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping. D. It will make children sleep easier. 31. What is the purpose of this text? A. To increase peoples knowledge of watching TV.B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV. C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children. D. To correct parents wrong ideas of televisions effect on children. DAt an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach（蟑螂）flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear; with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cock-roach away but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue. The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant. Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that its not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting. Its not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam. More than the problem, its my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond（回应）. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress responded. Reactions are always instinctive（本能的）while responses tend to be well thought out.32. What happened in the outdoor restaurant? A. A cockroach was found in a womans food and then a man found the same problem. B. A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers. C. A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers. D. A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.33. According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you should _ in your car. A. complain about your delay B.feel upset and annoyed C. relax yourself by listening to music D. expect someone to clear the road34. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5 ?A. disorder. B. success. C. poverty. D. violence35. What does the passage tell us? A. Speak less, do more! B. Actions speak louder than words! C. Mind your manners while in a restaurant!D. Dont react just from your feelings; respond positively!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。 People who are confident really seem to be naturally outstanding and just seem to do everything with more styles than others. 36 It is a habit that everyone can develop in life. Try these simple tips to drill(练习) and build up your confidence: 1. Admit your shortcomings calmly. Do not try to escape from them or cover them. Face them bravely. 37 Fight against them every day until the day when you could break away and conquer（战胜） them. 2. Dress for self-confidence. 38 And therefore pay attention to your dress, display your unique physical advantages and exhibit your best image. In addition, in formal occasions such as a business party or a wedding ceremony, elegant dressing contributes to building your confidence. 3. 39 You should get rid of your habit that deals with the work passively(被动地). Concentrate your efforts immediately on overcoming it, because it will make your restless mind at ease and build your self-confidence. 4. Be positive. Feel pity neither on yourself nor on others. If you are used to hating and blaming yourself, others would tend to do that and believe it. Instead, you should speak positively about yourself, your progress, and your bright future. 40 A. Build your confident vocabulary. B. Dont judge a person by appearance. C. Dont put off what you eventually have to do. D. Actually, true self-confidence is neither born nor acquired overnight. E. Then talk about them to a reliable mate, a friend or a family member. F. By doing so, you would encourage your growth in a positive direction. G. Your appearance could put you into embarrassment or increase your confidence. 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；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more 41 than by bus.
