out of school to contribute to the family income.In 1922, with limited education and skills, the future didnt look bright for Lill.Her father demanded that Lill find a job as soon as possible, but she didnt have the confidence to ask for a job.One day, Lill gathered her courage and knocked on her very first door.She was met by Margaret Costello, the office manager.In her broken English, Lill told her she was interested in the secretarial position.Margaret decided to give her a chance.Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, “Lill, lets see how good you really are.” She directed Lill to type a single letter, and then left.Lill looked at the clock and saw that it was 11：40 am.Everyone would be leaving for lunch at noon.She thought she should at least attempt the letter.On her first try, she got through one line but made four mistakes.She pulled the paper out and threw it away.The clock now read 11：45.“At noon，” she said to herself，“Ill move out with the crowd, and they will never see me again.”On her second attempt, things didnt get any better.Again she started over and finally completed the letter, full of mistakes, though.She looked at the clock: 11：55five minutes to freedom.Just then, Margaret walked in.She came directly over to Lill, and put one hand on the desk and the other on the girls shoulder.She read the letter and paused.Then she said, “Lill, youre doing good work！”Lill was surprised.She looked at the letter, then up at Margaret.With those simple words of encouragement, her desire to escape disappeared and her confidence began to grow.She thought, “Well, if she thinks its good, then it must be good, I think Ill stay！”Lill did stay at Carhartt Overall Company for 51 yearsthrough two world wars and 11 presidentsall because someone had the insight to give a shy and uncertain young girl the gift of selfconfidence when she knocked on the door.【语篇解读】文章主要叙述了莉莉参加工作的第一天，尝试打一封信，尝试了好几次没有成功。最后受到玛格丽特的鼓励从而获得信心。1Why did Lill leave school at an early

relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldnt fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately，I didnt get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise.For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者认为自己在售货员的欺骗下，购买了一台电视机，因为这种型号的电视机已停止生产，而且作者还多花了钱。不仅如此，作者在看节目的时候，电视还出现了静电噪音。文章着重描写了作者采取各种措施来消除这种噪音，比如换台、摇晃电视机等。最后作者花了很多钱修好了电视机。4Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?AHe got an older model than he had expected.BHe couldnt return it when it was broken.CHe could have bought it at a lower price.DHe failed to find any movie shows on it.【解析】细节理解题。A项“他购买的型号比自己所期望的要老”与文章第一段第三句话“我被售货员欺骗购买了一个已经停产的型号”有出入，可排除；B项“当电视坏了的时候，他不能退还”在文中没有提到；D项“他在这台电视上找不到任何电影”与第一段最后一句“幸运的是，我没有那种播放整夜电影的频道，否则一宿都不能睡觉了”信息不一致。根据第一段中的at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid(比我所付的钱少75美元)可知C项“他本可以以更低的价格买这台电视”正确。【答案】C5Which of the following can best replace the phrase“signed off” in Paragraph 1?Aended all their programsBprovided fewer channelsCchanged to commercialsDshowed allnight movies【解析】词义猜测题。该短语前的I would keep it on说明作者非常喜欢看电视，一直看到电视台停止播放节目为止，故A项“结束所有的节目”与短语sign off“结束广播/电视节目”意义相近，为正确答案。B项“提供更少的频道”，C项“更换成广告”，D项“播放通宵电影”，均不符合此处语境。【答案】A6How did the author finally get his TV set working again?ABy shaking and hitting it.BBy turning it on and off.CBy switching channels.DBy having it repaired.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二、三段的描述可知，当出现静电噪音并影响作者看节目的时候，作者采取了换台的方法，但是有时不起作用，排除C项；然后作者又采取了“举起来摇晃电视”及“用拳头击打”的方法，后来这一招也失效了，排除A项；B项“不断地开关电视”在文章中没有提到。再根据文章最后一句话My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now.可知作者最后只好花钱修理电视，且到目前为止电视还没有再出现什么问题，故选D项。【答案】D7How does the author sound when telling the story?ACurious.BAnxious.CCautious.DHumorous.【解析】推理判断题。这是一道判断作者讲述口吻的试题。文章第一段中的Fortunately，I didnt get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.和第二段中当作者不断地摇晃电视来消除静电噪音的时候，他说I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉).(我居然开始练出胳膊肌肉)等，体现了作者幽默的写作手法。curious好奇的；anxious焦虑的；cautious小心的。【答案】DC(2016皖北协作区高三联考)As the longer life and rapid decrease in the laborage population are expected, extending the retirement age is a wise choice for the government. This is why at the Third Plenum (全会) of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China it was agreed that there should be a study on the subject.It is undoubtedly necessary for the government to adjust its policies to meet the challenge of an increasingly aging society. According to the government, Chinas senior citizens above the age of 60 will reach 200 million, about 14.8 percent of the population，by the end of this year，and the figure is expected to grow to 248 million by the year of 2020 and more than 400 million by 2050, when they will account for 30 percent of the population. Meanwhile, extending the retirement age will result in several benefitsslowing the rapid increase of the retired, reducing the rapid decline in experienced workers and keeping the laborage population at a considerable size for stable economic development. However，before the policy is drawn up there will need to be thorough research, so there can be careful consideration of the interests of all parties to make sure that the new policy does not harm the interests of workers in different jobs.There are 112 million workers who do heavy physical labor and may not be willing to put off their retirement to a later age. And the opinions of government employees and other whitecollar workers will also need to be listened to before a policy is introduced to extend their retirement to a later age.No doubt it will be impossible to please all, but it should be possible to make the policy acceptable to the most. Anyway, any extensions that will hopefully help reduce the negative influences of our increasingly aging society also need to be fair.【语篇解读】这是一篇时文报道。介绍了中国对推迟退休年龄方面的探讨以及各界对这一话题的反响等。8The text mainly tells us AChina is going to enter an aging societyBChina has planned to extend the retirement ageCextending the retirement age will bring about multiple benefitsDall people agree to accept the policy【解析】主旨大意题。全文围绕中国人口老龄化的问题，探讨推迟退休年龄这一话题，介绍了各界人士的态度。【答案】B9Which of the following is true?AChinas old people above the age of 50 will be about 14.8 percent of the population. BThere will be about 248 million elders by 2050.CExtending the retirement age may reduce the experienced workers.DExtending the retirement age may contribute to the economic development of China.【解析】正误判断题。第二段说中国60岁以上的人口将达到人口总数的14.8%(A错)；到2050年60岁以上的人口将超过400 million(B错)；而推迟退休年龄能减缓有经验的工作者数量的快速下降(C错)；这些好处有助于中国的经济发展(D正确)。【答案】D10What can be inferred from the text?AAll the workers will be pleased with the policy.BThe whitecollar workers go against the policy.CThere can be many difficulties in extending the retirement age.DThe government should please all so as to give up the policy.【解析】推理判断题。第四段说从事繁重体力劳动的工人可能不愿意推迟他们的退休年龄(A错)；政府雇员和白领阶层的观点也应该听一听，但没有依据推断白领阶层的看法(B错)；最后一段说政策不可能让所有人都满意(D错)；从文章的叙述看，要实行这一政策会遇到各种困难(C正确)。【答案】C11What is the authors attitude towards the policy?ADoubtful.BObjective.COptimistic.DOpposed.【解析】观点态度题。从文章的叙述可以看出，作者只是客观地介绍了这一时文报道以及各方的态度，因此选B，表示“客观的”。【答案】BD(2015全国卷)More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the “year off” between school and university.The gapyear phenomenon originated(起源)with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year，25，310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year，according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS)That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a wellplanned year out are more likely to be satisfied with，and complete，their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible，” he said.But not everyone is happy.Owain James，the president of the National Union of Students(NUS)，argued that the increase is evidence of student hardshipyoung people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to 15，000 in debt.It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods，”he said.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了这样一种现象现在越来越多的学生采取了“间隔年”的上学方式，即推迟一年再上大学，在此期间挣钱缴纳学费。文章也提到了人们对这种做法的观点。12What do we learn about the gap year from the text?AIt is flexible in length.BIt is a time for relaxation.CIt is increasingly popular.DIt is required by universities.【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的have put off their entry until next year可知是一年的时间，排除A项“时间长度是灵活的”。根据最后一段中的more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree可知越来越多的学生利用间隔年来挣钱缴纳学费，排除B项“这是一段放松的时间”。间隔年不是大学要求的，因此排除D项。根据第一段的More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年).和第三段的That is a record 14.7% increase.可知间隔年越来越受学生们的欢迎，所以选C项。【答案】C13According to Tony Higgins，students taking a gap year Aare better prepared for college studiesBknow a lot more about their future jobsCare more likely to leave university in debtDhave a better chance to enter top universities【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的Students who take a wellplanned year out are more likely to be satisfied with，and complete，their chosen course.可知，采用间隔年的学生对所选择的课程更加满意，更可能完成所选课程，故A项正确。B项“对他们将来的工作了解得多”在文中未提及，可排除。根据最后一段可知，这些学生在间隔年里挣钱缴纳学费，故排除C项“更有可能在大学毕业的时候欠债”。根据第一段的第一句话可知，采用间隔年是在被大学录取之后，故排除D项“更有希望考入顶级大学”。【答案】A14How does Owain James feel about the gapyear phenomenon?AHes puzzled.BHes worried.CHes surprised.DHes annoyed.【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的.the increase is evidence of student hardshipyoung people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.可知Owain James对间隔年现象很担忧，故B项正确。puzzled疑惑的；surprised吃惊的；annoyed生气的。【答案】B15What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?AAttend additional courses.BMake plans for the new term.CEarn money for their education.DPrepare for their graduate studies.【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.可知，越来越多的学生在间隔年中挣钱缴纳学费来获取他们的学位，故C项“为了他们的教育而挣钱”正确。A项“上额外的课程”，B项“为新学期做计划”，D项“为他们的毕业学习做准备”，在文中均未提及，故排除。【答案】C.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)The best ways to get lucky in lifeBe aware of and act on opportunities.

How well do you think you will perform on a date, job interview, or sporting event if your thoughts are filled with reasons you will fail? The things would not be in your favor.
