And he must return the score he borrowed. As a result ,he passed both exams .However , discussion on Banking Exam Scores soon takes place on the Internet .Zack : While it can build students confidence ,it can also make them feel that its fine to fail an exam .Students will depend on the “score bank ”too much and not make progress .Besides, I will fail to know my childrens real exam results ,as their scores will not show their real ability .George :As a student ,I think its very hard to get high scores all the time .After not getting the expected scores ,many students ,especially excellent ones ,lose confidence .The “score bank ”will build their confidence and help them remain active .Whats more ,returning scores will develop self-control .I hope my college will think about this way ,too .Charlie : I dont agree .Students may form a bad habit ,spending much more than they can afford .Borrowing scores is like borrowing money from banks .If those students cannot return the scores ,they will lose again and again .They may put themselves under more pressure .Kate :Its a clever idea .In my parents eyes , the score means everything .But thats not true .The “score bank ”provides us with a proper way to solve the problem .It not only lowers our pressure of failing an exam ,but also encourages us to study harder to return the scores we borrowed .All in all , it helps us study in an easy way .( ) 56.

Discussion on Banking Exam ScoresDWe used to write letters as a way of communication a long time ago ,but now making phone calls and sending We Chat messages take its place .So a TV show ,Letters Alive（见字如面）,is helping to bring the old way back alive .Letters Alive got the idea from a UK program with a similar name ,Letters Live .It firstly met the audience in front of TV in 2013 .Both shows invited famous actors and actresses ,but there is no funny talk or social activity .Instead ,there is only one person who walks up to the front and reads a letter .But the letters are not just simple letters .Every letter is like a small piece of history .By reading and hearing them ,its like we are sent back to experience the past .The letters are carefully chosen from lots of special ones .For example ,there is a moving note from 2500 years ago. It was written by two soldiers to their elder brother to report their lives in the war area .Also ,readers in the show may have a chance to read a personal letter .One example from Letters live was a thank-you note from a mother of a dying child to Jk Rowling .It read：“Mrs .Rowling ,illness decided to take everything from my daughter .Your books turned out to be the thick wall that we so much needed to hide behind .”According to Guan Zhengwen , director of Letters .Alive ,there is a kind of humanity （人性）behind each letter .Each one opens the audiences heart and allows people from all ages to experience a moment of time in someone elses life .Thats why the show has been quite popular in China since the beginning .( ) 60.

If you put the passage into three parts ,which of the following is the best ?（Para.（自然段）1Para.2Para.3=Para.4=Para.5=Para.6 =Para.7）A./B./C./D./第卷（共57分）. 任务型阅读。（每空2分，共8分）阅读下文并回答问题。Think about the following situation .You may sense some feelings from your daily experience ,but cannot find right words to describe them in English .This is because theres no word to describe them in the English language .Also ,it is probably because of cultural difference .Luckily ,one man is trying to fix the problem .University researcher Tim Lomas is collecting words .The words only appear in other languages .The words have no exact equivalent（对等的）words or phrases in the English language .Perhaps the most famous example is the German word schadenfreude . It is used to laugh at someone when he has bad luck .Lomas borrowed these words from many other languages ,and wrote a book about them .It came out last year .Now ,thanks to Lomas hard work ,when you run your fingers through a loved ones hair ,you can call it cafune . When you have a good feeling at the end of a working day ,you can say feierabend . And when you describe the feeling of sitting around a warm fireplace ,you can use peiskos .“There must be some feelings that English cannot express.”Lomas wrote in his book .“So the advantage of learning these words may help us experience these feelings .”64. Is schadenfreude a German word ? 65. When did Lomass book come out ? 66. According to the passage ,what are the words in Lomas book used to do ? 67. What are the other advantages of learning the words Lomas collected ?Please write at least one . . 口语应用 （每小题1分，共5分）A: Hi ,Luke .What are you doing ?B: 68 .A: Wow ,what kind of competition is it ?B: A speaking competition from our school .A: Great . 69 .B: Youre right .For me ,its really a good chance By the way , 70 .A: Yes , I have .But Ive never got any prize .B: What a pity ! 71 .A: What do you mean ?B: Look !
