In this section, you will hear five short conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. At the end of each conversation, there will be a fifteen-second pause. During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.

A. It is a reference book for her research on the Olympics.
B. Tom recommended her to read it.

D. It is part of her yoga lessons.
【答案】 C
【解析】 对话中Jane要借Tom的瑜伽书，在Tom问她是不是要上瑜伽课时，Jane回答说“I’d like to understand how it works”。由此可知Jane借书是想了解如何进行瑜伽，即瑜伽的基本原理。因此C项正确。
【录音原文】
W: Tom, I was wondering if I could borrow your book on yoga.
M: Sure. Are you going to take yoga lessons, Jane?
W: Yeah, I think I might, but I’d like to understand how it works.
M: Good idea. It has become an official sport in the Olympics.

A. To start a new textile factory in Frankfurt.
B. To set up a booth at the Frankfurt trade fair.
C. To organize a grand world Expo in Germany.
D. To sign a contract with a German company.
【答案】 B
【解析】 对话开头男士便宣布一切都筹备好了，“we’ll be setting up a booth at the trade fair in Frankfurt!”，之后的讨论便都围绕这个话题展开。由此可知，对话者将在法兰克福的贸易展销会上有一个摊位。因此B项正确。
【录音原文】
M: Well, folks...I’ve got good news! Everything is finalized and we’ll be setting up a booth at the trade fair in Frankfurt!
W: That’s great news! The application process was so difficult, but I’m glad we made it!
M: The trade show in Frankfurt is the biggest textile show in the world, so it’s great that we can have a presence there!
3 What is the man’s opinion about making decisions?
A. Decisions should be made based on data.
B. Decision making is a complicated process.
C. Intuition serves as a signal in decision making.
D. Gut feelings may help one make decisions.
【答案】 A
【解析】 对话中在讨论做决定是要根据感情还是信息时，男士说“I think we should make choices based on data and information...not on emotions!”由此可知男士不同意以感情做决定的方式，他认为做决定应当以数据和信息为依据。因此A项正确。
【录音原文】
M: But Faith, do you really think we should base a decision on feelings?
W: Well, feelings can be a warning. I believe very strongly in the power of intuition. You know how people say, “I have a gut feeling?” What they really mean is that their intuition is giving them a signal.
M: Do you mean that emotions are important, even in the business world? I think we should make choices based on data and information...not on emotions!
4 Which saying can describe the situations in the conversation?
A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. Gentleness and kindness conquer at last.
C. Two is company, but three is none.
D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
【答案】 D
【解析】 对话中男士说虽然拥抱在商务场合中不太合适，但如果有人这么做了，最好还是跟着做，最后还提到“Try to follow the local customs”。由此可知这个对话讨论的主要话题是“入乡随俗”。因此D项正确。
【录音原文】
M: I’d say hugging is not usually appropriate in a business situation. Some people are a bit overly friendly. But if the person initiates it, I’d recommend you grit your teeth and go along with it, otherwise people might think you are rude.
W: So the same rule would apply to getting a kiss from a European: if they initiate it, just go along and be friendly, right?
M: Yeah. Try to follow the local customs.
5 How do Americans spend Christmas?
A. Customs vary according to people’s beliefs and habits.
B. Friends get together at parties while children collect gifts.
C. Religious families sing and play music on Christmas Eve.
D. Many families go traveling during the Christmas season.
【答案】 A
【解析】 对话中男士问起圣诞习俗时，女士回答说“每个家庭的习惯都不一样”，比如宗教家庭会去教堂，而其他的家庭则有其他活动。由此可知，由于人们信仰和习惯不同，各家的圣诞习俗也不同。因此A项正确。
【录音原文】
M: So give me a basic rundown. What are the Christmas traditions?
W: Each family is different, but basically you just go with the flow. If your friend’s family is religious they might go to church on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.
M: I’ve never attended a church service before…that sounds interesting.
W: The sing and music can be very beautiful, but many American families just hang around at home on Christmas—talking, watching TV, eating food and open presents.
Section B (10 marks)
In this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. At the end of each conversation, there will be a one-minute pause. During the pause, read the questions and make your answers on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
Conversation One
Listen to the conversation, and mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to your listening.
6 Gina and Jason are old friends and they are quite happy to meet in China again.
7 Jason suffered a lot on his journey mostly because the plane he took encountered severe turbulence.
8 Jason did not care much about the noise in the plane because he was a night owl.
9 Jason would like to pay a visit to the Great Wall besides doing his business.
10 Gina recommends that Jason may buy some silk products for his wife as gifts.
【答案与解析】
6 F 对话开头Jason说他和Gina曾经通话过很多次，最后终于在现实中见面，感觉很好。由此可知这是两人第一次见面，而非老朋友。因此该判断错误。
7 F 对话中Jason提到“There was a bit of turbulence while we were over the Pacific Ocean, but it wasn’t too bad.”由此可知Jason遇到的气流并不严重。因此该判断错误。
8 T 对话中Jason说他的后座一整夜都在打鼾，Gina问起他是不是晚上完全没睡着觉时，他回答说“Not much...but that’s OK...I’m a night owl anyway.”由此可知后座打鼾对他造成的影响不太大，因为他自己是个夜猫子。因此该判断正确。
9 T 对话中Gina问起除了参观工厂和办公室外还想做什么时，Jason说“I’d love to squeeze in a trip to the Great Wall.”由此可知Jason除了工作方面的事，还想去长城看看。因此该判断正确。
10 T 对话中Jason说想给妻子买礼物时，Gina说“I’d recommend silk for your wife.”，并列举了一些丝绸制品。由此可知Gina推荐Jason给妻子买丝绸制品做礼物。因此该判断正确。
【录音原文】
M: Hello Gina! We’ve spoken so many times on the phone but it’s so good to finally meet you in person!
W: Hello, Jason. How was the flight?
M: Pretty good. There was a bit of turbulence while we were over the Pacific Ocean, but it wasn’t too bad. The worst thing was the guy behind me. He snored all through the night!
W: Really? But you were in first class! Nobody woke that guy up?
M: The stewardess said it’s not company policy to wake people up for any reason.
W: That’s terrible! So you didn’t get any sleep?
M: Not much...but that’s OK...I’m a night owl anyway.
W: So, aside from visiting our factory and offices, are there any other things you want to accomplish while you’re in China?
M: I’d love to squeeze in a trip to the Great Wall.
W: That’s not a problem. We can have a company car take you there. It’s only about a two-hour drive.
M: Also...I’d like to do some shopping while I’m here.
W: Well, you’ve come to the right place! China is a shopping paradise. Name it―we’ve got it.
M: To be honest, I’m not really sure what I’m looking for. But I need gifts for my wife, kids and I should bring something back for the senior partners of my firm as well.
W: Hum...I’d recommend silk for your wife. Maybe a bathrobe or perhaps a shawl. Silk dresses and shirts are good, too.
M: Yeah...that sounds good. But my wife is picky, so I’ll need your help to choose the right one. It should be classy and not too flashy.
W: I think I know just the store to visit. Leave it to me.

D. She needed time and patience to grow the flower.
【答案与解析】
11 B 对话中采访者说Mariella和别人一样住在典型的有后院的伦敦排屋中，但是她的后花园终结了这种相似度，因为Mariella家到处都是植物和花朵。根据采访者的语气可推断他吃惊于Mariella家的花园。因此B项正确。
12 C 在采访者问起关于Mariella父亲的事情时，Mariella说“My father cultivated bananas for a living but he grew lots of different kinds of vegetables…And besides vegetables, we had lots of flowers too.”由此可知，Mariella的父亲以种植香蕉为生，但也种蔬菜和花朵。因此C项正确。
13 D 对话中采访者问Mariella最早种的是什么时，Mariella说她的儿子喜欢生吃蔬菜，所以她便种了很多蔬菜。由此可知Mariella种菜是为了满足儿子对生食蔬菜的爱好。因此D项正确。
14 C 对话中采访者问到Mariella怎样学习种植时，她说她只是去买一袋种子直接种下。“If they didn’t work out, I would keep trying until they did okay.”由此可知，假如种子不发芽，Mariella就继续尝试，直到种子长出来。因此C项正确。
15 C 对话中Mariella提到“Friends in Jamaica said it would be too cold here for it to flourish”。由此可知Mariella的朋友认为伦敦气候太冷，不适合在花园里种花。因此C项正确。
【录音原文】
M: Mariella, you live in a typical London terraced house, with a long thin garden plot at the back, just like all the other houses in the street. But there the similarity ends. Your garden is a―well, I don’t know how to describe it—it’s a jungle in the nicest possible way, a bit of paradise! You’ve got hanging baskets bursting with flowers, roses clutch at your feet as you walk along the path. In fact, everywhere you look is bursting with flowering shrubs, bushes and plants of every description at every level! Why did you create the garden?
W: I wanted a garden which would remind me of my native home in Jamaica, although the climate here is very different, of course.
M: Your father was a farmer, wasn’t he? Do your green fingers come from him?
W: No, I haven’t got green fingers! No way! My father cultivated bananas for a living but he grew lots of different kinds of vegetables and we lived off what was grown in the garden. And besides vegetables, we had lots of flowers too.
M: I must say, the exuberance of your garden here certainly captures the atmosphere of a Caribbean landscape. You came here many years ago—it was February, wasn’t it?
W: Yes, it was cold and grey when I arrived—not the best time to be here! The garden was nothing but weeds but I saw it and I set to work.
M: What did you grow at first?
W: My son liked vegetables. He liked to eat them raw, not cooked. So I grew vegetables for him. He would come in from school and munch away at the freshly-picked vegetables: cabbages, carrots, cucumber, pumpkin. I used to get a lot of satisfaction just watching him eat.
M: How did you learn to garden?
W: I didn’t learn from books or anything like that. I would just walk into a shop, see a packet of seeds and plant them, just like that! If they didn’t work out, I would keep trying until they did okay. My children weren’t interested in the garden but my grandson is keen on gardening. He learned about gardening at school and planted those sunflowers all by himself, although he’s only six.
M: Do you allow yourself a favourite flower?
W: I love the shrimp plant with yellow flowers that is grown in Jamaica. Friends in Jamaica said it would be too cold here for it to flourish, but I planted it in the garden and then took it to the living room, where it blooms well.
M: You must derive a great deal of satisfaction from the garden.
W: When I wake up in the morning and look out, you know, it...it is joy, pure joy.

Yoga has changed my life! Before I discovered yoga, I used to try to keep in shape by doing backbreaking exercise programs. But it never worked. I would start out by going for a five-mile jog, and then I would be exhausted.
When I started doing yoga I had to change my whole way of thinking. At first, I tried to perform the most difficult positions. It was painful. My problem was that I viewed yoga as a regular exercise program. I just thought that if I worked harder, I would see results faster.

Summary
Listen to the passage. For questions 26—30, complete the notes using no more than three words for each blank.
The problem caused by birds to airplanes, which has been addressed as (26)“_____”, is getting worse. A growing number of airplanes and birds, as well as countryside airports, are facing (27)_____. Therefore, airports are trying to (28)_____ by making it hard for birds to find food, using special fireworks to (29)_____ and even killing them. However, we must find new ways to make the sky a safer place for both men and birds. People are still seeking for (30)_____ to avoid killing birds.
【答案与解析】
26 bird strikes
（录音开头提到鸟类一直困扰着飞机飞行，但现在“the problem of ‘bird strikes’ is getting worse”。由此可知，鸟类困扰飞机飞行的问题被称为“bird strike”。）
27 danger
（录音中提到“Smaller birds can also be a danger…increasing the danger of a plane crash.”，成群的小型鸟类撞上飞机会增加坠机的危险。由此可知，飞行过程中飞机和鸟类都面临着危险。后文又提到“more modern airports are being built in the countryside, where bird populations are high”。乡下鸟类数量多，而机场又通常建在那里。鸟类喜欢去往机场觅食居住，使得机场也面临着危险。）
28 change the environment
（录音中提到了一些解决措施。第一条提到“要改变机场环境，减少对鸟类的吸引力”，这意味着要使鸟类在机场附近难以觅食。）
29 frighten them
（录音提到的第二条解决措施是用特制烟花“鸟类炸弹”来制造噪音恐吓鸟类，以驱散机场附近的鸟类。由此可知“鸟类炸弹”的作用是恐吓鸟类。）
30 a long-term solution
（录音结尾提到杀鸟不是长久措施，我们应当继续寻找合适方法。由此可知人们正在寻找能够解决这个问题的长久措施。）
【录音原文】
Birds have always been a problem for airplanes, but now the problem of “bird strikes” is getting worse. Large airplanes can easily continue flying after hitting a bird weighing up to 2kg, but 30% of strikes involve birds which weigh more than this. Smaller birds can also be a danger, as they tend to fly in flocks. Therefore, a plane may hit many birds at one time, increasing the danger of a plane crash.
There are several reasons why bird strikes are happening more often. First, there are more airplanes flying than ever before. Second, most countries are taking steps to protect birds and other animals, so bird populations are increasing. Third, more modern airports are being built in the countryside, where bird populations are high. Unfortunately, instead of being frightened of airplanes, birds are attracted to airports as they provide a source of food, shelter, and warmth.
There are three basic ways that airports try to lower the possibility of bird strikes. The first is to change the airport’s environment to make it less attractive to birds. This means decreasing the number of places where birds can find food by clearing up all garbage and cutting the grass short. Another way is to use special fireworks called “bird bombs” which make loud noises and frighten the birds. Finally, if the birds are still attracted to the airport and cannot be frightened away, they are killed. One airport in Slovakia uses hawks to hunt smaller birds.
Killing birds is not a long-term solution, however. We must keep trying to find a way to make the sky a safe place for both airplanes and birds.

【答案与解析】
46 fruitless
（该空之后的内容提到“如果年轻人同时进行多项工作，浪费的时间也相当于一项项地进行工作所浪费的时间的一半”。由此可推断即使同时进行多项工作，依旧会浪费时间。因此，根据文意应填入fruit的形容词形式fruitless。）
47 surfing
（surf the Internet为固定搭配，意为“上网”。）
48 replacing
（句意：随着新型设备出现，它们会加入设备列表，而不是取代已经存在了的设备。根据首字母可推测该词为replace，由于该空前为rather than，故应使用现在分词形式。）
49 indicated
（句意：其他研究表明……。根据首字母可推测此处的词应为indicate，根据时态，应使用过去分词形式。）
50 no
（根据前文可知年轻人们也被束缚在与外界隔离的小世界中，无法和周围的人交流。因此他们进家门也就不再和家人打招呼或者在家庭餐桌吃饭。根据上下文以及连词nor可推测该处应使用短语no longer。故答案为no。）
51 university
（根据后文workplace可推测该空指的是学校，根据首字母可推测该处为university。）
52 favourable
（该空修饰名词response，应用favour的形容词形式，根据上下文可推断此处意为“令人满意的”，即favourable。）
53 development
（根据首字母和上下文可判断该处指的是“学习技能的发展”。故答案为development。）
54 entering
（enter the workforce意为“进入劳动力市场”，此处作定语修饰young people，应使用现在分词形式。）
55 in
（in respect of为固定搭配，意为“关于，涉及”。）
Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
Section A (5 marks)
Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.
Look at an atlas. How are mountains shown? Where are the highest mountains? A few mountains stand alone, such as Mount Egmont in New Zealand, and Mount Kenya in Africa. Most mountains are found in long chains called mountain ranges. The Pennines, the Cambrian Mountains, the Alps, the Andes and Rockies are examples of mountain ranges. The highest mountain range on the Earth is the Himalayas in Asia.
In order to understand how mountains are formed, we need to know what the inside of the Earth is like. The Earth is made up of layers of rock. The outside layer of rock, the one we live on, is called the Earth’s crust. Beneath the crust is a layer called the mantle. Near the top of the mantle, some of the rocks have melted and are a liquid, like sticky tar. Because all the rocks around it press on the mantle, the molten rock tries to force its way out. If the molten rock does find a weak spot, it bursts through the Earth’s crust, forming a volcano. Some mountains were made by volcanoes.
The Earth’s crust is made up of large pieces, called plates, which fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Some of the plates carry continents, others carry oceans. The plates move slowly, floating on the molten rocks of the mantle below. As the plates move, they push against each other, slowly pushing up the rocks in folds to form mountains.
India used to be a long way from Asia, but gradually the plate with India on it moved closer to the plate bearing Asia. The rocks in the sea between India and Asia were pushed up in folds that now form the Himalayan mountain range. That is why it is sometimes possible to find seashells near the tops of the Himalayas. Many other mountain ranges, including the Alps, Rockies and Pennines, are similar great folds of rock.
While some plates are pushing together, others are moving further apart. Europe and North America are slowly moving further apart. Each year the Atlantic Ocean is a few centimetres wider. As the rocks move, they often crack or break. These breaks are called faults. Sometimes, great blocks of rocks are pushed up between two faults. These blocks may be so large and high that they form mountains. Some of the highland areas of East Africa are block mountains, so are the Vosges mountains in France and the Sierra Nevada mountains in the western United States. Block mountains often have flat tops. A flat-topped highland is called a plateau.
Questions 56—60
Complete the following form with no more than three words according to the passage.
【答案与解析】
56 plates
（根据第三段第一句“The Earth’s crust is made up of large pieces, called plates…”可知答案为plates。）
57 the mantle
（根据第二段第四句“Beneath the crust is a layer called the mantle.”可知答案为the mantle。）
58 a volcano
（根据第二段倒数第二句“If the molten rock does find a weak spot, it bursts through the Earth’s crust, forming a volcano.”可知答案为a volcano。）
59 in folds
（根据第四段第二句“The rocks in the sea between India and Asia were pushed up in folds that now form the Himalayan mountain range.”可知答案为in folds。）
60 block mountains
（根据题意定位至最后一段。第六到第八句描述山的形成方式，根据后文举例可推测该形成方式是断块山的形成方式。故答案为block mountains。）
Section B (10 marks)
Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.
By studying the notebooks, correspondence, and conversations of some of the world’s great thinkers in science, art, and industry, scholars have identified the following thinking strategies that enable geniuses to generate original ideas:
61 __________ Sigmund Freud’s analytical methods were designed to find details that didn’t fit traditional paradigms in order to come up with a completely new point of view. To solve a problem creatively, you must abandon the first approach that comes to mind, which usually stems from past experience, and reconceptualize the problem. Geniuses do not merely solve existing problems; they identify new ones.
62 __________ Geniuses develop visual and spatial abilities that allow them to display information in new ways. The explosion of creativity in the Renaissance was tied to the development of graphic illustration during that period, notably the scientific diagrams of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei. Galileo revolutionized science by making his thought graphically visible while his contemporaries used more conventional means.
Geniuses produce. Thomas Edison held 1,093 patents, still a record. He guaranteed a high level of productivity by giving himself idea quotas: one minor invention every ten days and a major invention every six months. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a cantata every week even when he was sick. Wolfgang Mozart produced more than 600 pieces of music.
63 __________ Like playful children with buckets of building blocks, geniuses constantly combine and recombine ideas, images, and thoughts. The laws of heredity were developed by Gregor Mendel, who combined mathematics and biology to create a new science of genetics.
64 __________ Their facility to connect the unconnected enables geniuses to see things others miss. Da Vinci noticed the similarity between the sound of a bell and a stone hitting water—and concluded that sound travels in waves.
65 __________ Whenever we attempt to do something and fail, we end up doing something else. That’s the first principle of creative accident. We may ask ourselves why we have failed to do what we intended, which is a reasonable question. But the creative accident leads to the question: What have we done? Answering that one in a novel, unexpected way is the essential creative act. It is not luck, but creative insight of the highest order.
This may be the most important lesson of all: When you find something interesting, drop everything and go with it. Too many talented people fail to make significant leaps of imagination because they’ve become fixated on their pre-conceived plan. But not the truly great minds. They don’t wait for gifts of chance; they make them happen.
Questions 61—65
Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.
A. Geniuses make their thought visible.
B. Geniuses prepare themselves for enhance.
C. Geniuses make novel combinations.
D. Geniuses look at problems from all angles.
E. Geniuses have a really broad mind.
F. Geniuses force relationships.
G. Geniuses are powerful in lots of aspects.
【答案与解析】
61 D 文章第二段提到弗洛伊德的分析方法，指出这个方法是用来寻找细节以提出全新观点的，即从另一个角度提出观点。同时该段主要围绕“解决问题”展开讨论。因此D项最符合该段主题。
62 A 文章第三段开头提到天才们开发视觉与空间能力，以用新方式展现信息。后文也提到了文艺复兴时期图像的发展，以及伽利略把思想可视图化的例子。由此可知该段主要围绕“将思想图像化”展开讨论。A项最符合该段主题。
63 C 文章第五段提到天才们会将观点形象等结合起来，并举了孟德尔将数学和生物学结合的例子。由此可知该段主要围绕“创新性的结合”展开讨论。C项最符合该段主题。
64 F 文章倒数第三段提到天才们更容易发现别人发现不了的事物，并举了达芬奇从铃声和石头砸水声的相似度得出“声音以波的形式传播”的例子。由此可知该段主要围绕“发现事物之间的联系”展开讨论。F项最符合该段主题。
65 B 文章倒数第二段提到普通人经常在失败后选择做其他事，这是意外创意的第一原则。但我们应该问自己到底做了什么，并用全新的方式来回答。这是创造性的洞察力而非幸运。由此可推断天才并不是偶然的。B项“天才为机会做好准备”最符合题意。
Section C (10 marks)
Questions 66—70 are based on the following passage.
The Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, has had a history of more than 2,000 years. Here are some things you must know.
There are many legends about the evolution of the festival, the most popular of which is in commemoration of Qu Yuan (340—278 BC). Qu Yuan was minister of the State of Chu and one of China’s earliest poets. In face of great pressure from the powerful Qin State, he advocated enriching the country and strengthening its military forces so as to fight against the Qin. However, he was opposed by aristocrats and later deposed and exiled by King Huai. In his exiled days, he still cared much for his country and people and composed immortal poems including Li Sao (The Lament) , Tian Wen (Heavenly Questions) and Jiu Ge (Nine Songs) , which had far-reaching influences.
In 278 BC, he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu’s capital, so he finished his last piece Huai Sha (Embracing Sand) and plunged himself into the Miluo River, clasping his arms to a large stone. The day happened to be the 5th of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar.
After his death, the people of Chu crowded to the bank of the river to pay their respects to him. The fishermen sailed their boats up and down the river to look for his body. People threw into the water zongzi (pyramid-shaped glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves) and eggs to divert possible fish or shrimp from attacking his body. An old doctor poured a jug of realgar wine (Chinese liquor seasoned with realgar) into the water, hoping to turn all aquatic beasts drunk. That’s why people later followed the customs such as dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine on that day.
Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination. Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuan’s body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period (475—221 BC).
On Dragon Boat Festival, parents also need to dress their children up with a perfume pouch. They first sew little bags with colorful silk cloth, then fill the bags with perfumes or herbal medicines, and finally string them with silk threads. The perfume pouch will be hung around the neck or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. They are said to be able to ward off evil.
Questions 66—70
Answer the following questions according to the passage.
66 When do Chinese people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year?
67 What masterpieces of Qu Yuan are mentioned in the passage?
68 Why did Qu Yuan commit suicide?
69 How do people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival now?
70 Why do parents prepare perfume pouches for their children on Dragon Boat Festival?
【答案与解析】
66 On the 5th day of the 5th lunar month.
（根据第一段第一句“The Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month…”可知答案。）
67 Li Sao, Tian Wen, and Jiu Ge.
（根据第二段最后一句“…composed immortal poems including Li Sao (The Lament) , Tian Wen (Heavenly Questions) and Jiu Ge (Nine Songs) …”可知答案。）
68 In 278 BC, he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu’s capital, and he didn’t want to see his country fall into their hands.
（文章第二段提到屈原一直提议增强军力以对付秦国，但被楚怀王忽略。第三段提到在被放逐后，楚国被秦国侵占，屈原因而自杀。屈原是爱国诗人，自然不会希望看到自己的国家落入敌人手中。）
69 People hold dragon boat racing, eat zongzi and drink realgar wine on that day.
（根据文章第四段最后一句“That’s why people later followed the customs such as dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine on that day.”可知答案。）
70 They are said to be able to ward off evil.
（根据文章最后一段最后两句“The perfume pouch will be hung around the neck or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. They are said to be able to ward off evil.”可知答案。）
Section D (10 marks)
Questions 71—75 are based on the following passage.
While baseball is often described as the national sport of the United States of America, it probably developed from an eighteenth-century English game called rounders. There were several versions of the game until 1845, when Alexander J. Cartwright organized a group of players to decide on one set of rules. The main change from rounders was that a runner had to be tagged or touched by a player holding the ball to be put out, rather than hit by a thrown ball. This meant that a smaller, harder ball could be used, which in turn made possible a faster, larger game.
Until the mid-1860s, baseball was an amateur sport, which means that the players were not paid. The first professional team, the Cincinnati “Red Stockings”, was organized in 1869 and within two years the sport was more or less professional. Nowadays the best players can earn millions of dollars playing baseball.
Professional baseball in the United States and Canada consists of two leagues and for the first half of the twentieth century there were also separate leagues for black players. The black leagues produced many excellent players but it wasn’t until the 1940s, and the success of Jackie Robinson playing for the Brooklyn “Dodgers”, that black players were integrated into white major-league baseball in the United States.
Baseball has had a broad impact on popular culture, both in the United States and elsewhere. Dozens of English-language idioms have been derived from baseball, for instance, the baseball meaning of “out of the ball park” is to hit a home run, but its non-baseball equivalent is to do something well or exactly as it should be done. The baseball cap has become a worldwide fashion item not only in the United States, but also in countries where the sport itself is not particularly popular, such as the United Kingdom.
Baseball has inspired many works of art and entertainment. One of the first major examples, Ernest Thayer’s poem “ Casey at the Bat ”, appeared in 1888. There have been many baseball movies, including the Academy Award-winning The Pride of the Yankees (1942) and the Oscar nominees The Natural (1984) and Field of Dreams (1989). Literary works connected to the game include the short fiction of Ring Lardner and novels such as Robert Coover’s The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop . Baseball’s literary canon also includes the beat reportage of Damon Runyon; the columns of Grantland Rice, Red Smith, Dick Young, and Peter Gammons; and the essays of Roger Angell.

76 If your parents give you pocket money with no strings attached, I’ve got some bad news for you. Experts are now claiming that it may be harmful for teenagers to get “free” pocket money. They argue that it makes them lazy and they may even end up in poverty. What’s more, they say that youngsters will never learn the value of money if they don’t earn it. Studies also indicate that you can rarely expect teenagers to save their pocket money when they get it for free and often waste it on unnecessary things. However, if they have to do something in order to earn it, they usually learn to use their money wisely.

(80) 必须记住，对那些还没有习惯于专注的人们，专注确实是一件使人心力交瘁的事情。 (定语从句)所以，不要让专注的紧张状态持续太久，应该在适当的时候把注意力松弛一下。也就是说，专注的习惯需要逐渐养成。第一天，可以聚精会神一刻钟，然后逐渐增加，到月底时可以延长至每天2个小时或2个小时以上。专注的关键是把内心的全部力量集中于当前正在从事的工作上面。不过在身心疲乏时，一个人不能非常圆满地做到这一点。(81) 且对于儿童和年轻人来说，持续太久的努力对他们还会有所伤害。 （in the case of）

Write an air pollution report in around 120 words and write it on the answer sheet.
【参考范文】
According to the charts, in general, the air pollution keeps decreasing from 2013 to 2015 among 74 major cities in China. 2013 saw the most serious air pollution, with 1688 heavy air pollution reported and 656 severe ones. The PM2.5 index, being 72 micrograms per cubic meter, is also the highest in the three years. But the number of air pollution reports, as well as the PM2.5 index, gradually drops, reaches the lowest in 2015. What’s more, among the heavy air pollution, the ratio of severe air pollution reported also declines year by year. From the two charts, we can see that the measures taken to deal with air pollution finally come into effect, which is a good phenomenon.
Dozens of websites offer essay writing services, which students can use to help with their studies. They can get anything from tips on how to answer the essay question, right through to a full model essay. However, more and more students are using these services to copy a model essay and pass it off as their own, which is plagiarism (剽窃).
Write an essay in about 180 words to express your opinions on how to solve the problem of plagiarism. Write the essay on the answer sheet.
【参考范文】
Plagiarism has become common among students when they write essays, which is a harmful phenomenon that will spread an atmosphere of dishonesty and damage students’ integrity. Something must be done to solve this problem.
Here are some methods that can help. First, students must build self-discipline. They need to be aware of the detriment of plagiarism and then spontaneously avoid it. This is the fundamental, because only when students themselves know the bad effect can the root of plagiarism be cut before this habit is formed. But sometimes students themselves may not be aware of this, so relevant education is also a must. Second, colleges must take strict measures to examine students’ essays. If plagiarism is discovered, the one who copies model essays from websites has to be severely punished. Last but not least, relevant rules and laws are needed. Plagiarism is actually a crime that violates the right of writers of original essays, so laws should be made and performed to protect the right of writers and the good atmosphere of writing essays honestly.
In conclusion, only when we choose to deal with the problem with a strong arm, can it finally be solved.
