being politicians, trump,70,the countrys 45th president, was a new york businessman. and he was not a presidential candidate（候选人） who worked hard to keep a perfect public image (形象) of a man who was always caring, fair and intelligent. instead, trump has a reputation of being bad-tempered, self-important and hateful toward those who disagree with him. he also blames immigrants（移民）,both from latin america and the middle east, for many problems in the us. this has caused a dangerous division（分裂） in the country, a country made up of many different races. furthermore, he is against globalization.but to his supporters, the fact that trump is not a typical politician is actually one of his advantages, his habit of never hiding his opinions is also considered by many to be a sign that he is not a pretender like many politicians are. “we have seen our country take a fall in the eyes of the world. we need to go in a different direction,” binyomin weisswasser, 39, a man from chicago, told the chicago tribune. “trumps not a politician, i like that he is not always politically correct and speaks his mind. it gives me the feeling that what you see is what you get. you may not like it, but you know what it is.”but interestingly, many who voted for trump actually followed the “lesser of two evils(恶魔)” principle, that is, one that people use when faced with picking from two unpleasant options, simply because they didnt think clinton was a better choice. “hes the candidate i disagree less with,” jack stucky,20,a student at northwestern university, told the chicago tribune. “i dont think id say donald trump is going to be the best president ever, but i did think hed be better than hillary clinton.”25.what can we learn from the text?a. trump welcomes more immigrants.b. trump minds more about keeping his public image perfect.c. trump is thought to be more skilled in politics.d. trump is considered more straightforward and narrow-minded.26.what does the last paragraph imply?a. trump will do better than hillary.b. hillary is the least unpleasant candidate.c. both trump and hillary are immoral, but the former is better.d. trump is going to be the worst president in the history of the usa.27.whats the best title of this passage?a. trumps shocking win. b. trumps new policy to the usa.c. different congratulations on trumps win. d. the advantages donald trump over hillary clinton.c going for walks with my two-year-old son, i meet many nice people who ask what my job is. when i say that i teach at swarthmore college, their faces light up, and the next question is, “what do you teach?” as they hear my answer “linguistics ( the scientific study of language)”, they look confused. the smile on their faces tells me that they dont know what to make of my answer. if they are brave enough, they will ask, “so, what kinds of classes do you teach then?” good question. i have long been teaching pragmatics(语用学), a branch of linguistics. it is primarily concerned with how the context (上下文) in which a sentence is said influences its meaning. what “id love a glass of water” means largely depends on where and when it is said. in a restaurant, it will probably be understood as an order made toward the waiter. somewhere out in the desert, however, the same sentence is more likely to be understood as an impossible wish. thus, although the literal (字面的) meanings of two sentences could be exactly the same, their communicative meaning could be very different. interestingly, in pragmatics you will discover a message can be well communicated though not literally expressed. this takes place when the speaker and the listener share common ground. if you see a car stopped on the side of the road, and you have the following exchange with the driver, you both know youve said enough to get your points across. driver: hi. i used up gas. you: theres a shell just down the road. obviously, the driver is really asking something like, “could you tell me what to do?” your reply implies that there is a place nearby where the driver can get gas. no further explanation is needed because shell, the name of a gas station, is part of their common ground. 28. what do we know about the people in paragraph 1? a. they are familiar with the author. b. they know little about linguistics. c. they work at swarthmore college. d. they hope to attend the authors class. 29. why does the author say the underlined sentence has different communicative meanings? a. because their wishes are different. b. because their contexts are different. c. because their speakers are different. d. because their literal meanings are different. 30. why did the car mentioned in the text stop? a. to wait for someone. b. to take a short rest. c. to buy some gas. d. to ask for help. 31. how does the author mainly explain pragmatics? a. by presenting research findings. b. by analyzing major causes. c. by making comparisons. d. by using examplesdmany beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the citys smoggy air, especially when it reaches critical pollution levels, but one local businessman decided that canning（can v. 将.装入罐中） and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea. believe it or not, he was right.after seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like france, canada or australia and selling it in china, dominic johnson-hill, a british-born citizen of beijing and owner of the plastered 8 (创可贴 8 ) souvenir shop, decided to turn the idea on its head and sell canned beijing air throughout china and abroad.“id seen people going crazy to buy canned air from canada and australia, so i thought it was time to push business the other way,” the businessman said. “theyre perfect gifts! what else are you going to take home when you go home from beijing? a roast duck? a plastered t-shirt? these cans are light, easily carried home. you can just imagine someones face when they unwrap it for christmas.”the few mouth-fulls of beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of famous city landmarks as well as a bitter description of the contents: “a unique mix of nitrogen (氮气）， oxygen and probably some unknown stuff. the ironic (讽刺的）souvenirs cost 28 rmb (us$4 ) and are available at the plastered 8 shop, as well as in its online shop. but if youre actually considering buying some, youd better ask the shop in advance, as they are always flying off the shelves. johnson-hill said that his shop is selling hundreds of beijing air cans every day.personally, the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions. yet one thing thats not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from beijing, because the cans are labeled as “made in shenzhen”. theres a big chance that it is just a kind of “plastered 8 humor”, as they also list “choking risk” and may have unidentified objects inside” as warnings.anyway, it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment.32. what are many people in beijing likely to do with the smoggy air?a. try to get used to it.b. can it as a souvenir.c. sell it all over the world.d. try their best to avoid it.33. how may one feel when receiving canned beijing air for christmas?a. satisfied.b. surprised.c. frightened.d. refreshed.34. which of the following can replace the underlined word “stuff” in paragraph 4?a. liquidsb. objectsc. colorsd. risks35. what can we infer from the passage?a. there are unidentified objects in the canned beijing air.b. the plastered 8 souvenir shop is famous for its humour.c. the writer may expect us to care more about the environment.d. dominic johnson-hill is a british man who lives in beijing.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。 you can take a selfie（自拍） with a hand-held digital camera or mobile phone and later share it on the internet. 36

particularly non-existent. its 41 for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside for the last 42 seat on the bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. in fact, it is a 43 to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a man of the older 44 . this question of 45 seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed 46 , they no longer deserve to be treated 47 and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. women have never claimed to be 48 as strong as men. even if its not 49 that young men should stand up for older women, however, the fact remains that good manners should be shown to the old, the 50 and the burdened. are we really so lost to（对.无动于衷） all ideals（理想典范） of 51 that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “first come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, or a mother with a young child stands? 52 this is too often seen. older people, tired and easily 53 from a days work, arent angels, either. many a sudden argument or a fierce quarrel 54 as the tired people push and pull each other to get on buses or tubes. if cities are to remain pleasant places to 55 in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that communication in 56 should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and 57 . shop assistants wont bother to 58 , taxi drivers shout at each other as t
