Everything is for sale: Tibetan beads, canned rattlesnake, Irish claddagh rings, lizard-skin cowboy boots, ponchos, old photograph cylinders, Australian wines, Navaho jewelry, love potions, tongs for removing toast from a toaster, orange blossom honey, air guns designed to fire coins into the baskets of toll booth, frozen yogurt, dried seaweed, prayer wheels, wormwood, Iberian hams, polish sausages, paintings that sell for as much as five million dollars, rare books, props from hit plays, the autographs of every president of the USA since George Washington, African masks, lessons in yoga, do-it-yourself harpsichord-assembly kits, “organic” peanut butter.You name it, and there is a store in the big apple which sells it. Price-conscious shoppers should remember that there is always a bargain sale going on somewhere in the big appleon the Labor or Memorial day holidays, and on Washingtons or Lincolns birthday, prices at department stores decline. If there are no specials, just take a bus to the lower east side, or Loehmanns in the Bronx, where there are permanent sales and you can get quality goods at vastly reduced prices. Keep in mind also that most of the things for sale in New York city can also be rented or hired: wedding suits, fur coats, diapers, Rolls Royces, bartenders, automobile tools, animals, bikes, rug cleaners and ski equipment.You can, believe it or not, rent an interesting guest to attend your party if you want toenjoy it to the fullest.21.

George Washington Monument.BIn the subway station, I notice a black teenage boy waiting for the train, sitting on a railing(栏杆) just in front of a moving escalator(扶梯). Its a hot evening; there is no air in the station. This black kid is just sitting there, settled on the railing, and Im just standing there about 10 feet away looking for the faraway lights of the oncoming train. Then suddenly a white police officer is asking the kid for identification.The kid turns a little annoyed and asks what hes been bothering about. The officer doesnt explain. The kid pulls out some I.D. and hands it to the officer who looks at it and then barks out a demand for something with an address on it, a drivers license.Unwillingly, the kid pulls out a second piece of identification. The officer looks at it and tells the kid to come with him. Nothing I have seen or heard explains the officers strict approach or why the kid is being led away. I get up to the officer and politely ask what this guy did and where he is taking him. He looks at me like Im armed and crazy and tells me that its none of my business and to stay out of this.“Could I please take down your badge(警徽) number, sir, as Id like to report all this,”I say.“Take down my badge number and then you show me a piece of identification. What are you, some lawyer?”I copy down his badge number and then show him my drivers license, asking,“Could you please tell me what this is all for?”Looking at me over and again asking if Im a lawyer, he tells me hes taking the kid in for blocking the escalator and me in for “obstructinga police action.” Another black man hearing all this asks whats going on and the officer gets very nervous. So I decide to go with him to his office. Then the officer gives his version of what happened and I politely interrupt to explain that the kid was in no way blocking the escalator traffic and that I was in no way “obstructing a police action”, not adding that I thought the way the officer handling the situation was racist and unnecessarily strict.After this experience in the police station, Im still wondering whether a well-dressed white man will be faced with a sharp command for identification for sitting on an escalator railing waiting for a train? If a bystander does want to get involved and inquire about an apparently unfair arrest, is a policemans only response a second arrest? Will our police officers always be seen by black kids as evils? Is my charge with racism too strong?24. What is the black teenager doing at the train station? A. He is blocking the escalator. B. He is escaping the police. C. He is waiting for the train. D. He is damaging the escalator.25. Why does the author stand out to help the black teenager? A. He is a racist. B. He is not afraid to get involved. C. He is black. D. He has a sense of justice.26. According to the passage, we can know that. A. The black boy doesnt obey the police officer. B. Subway stations are good places to hang about. C. The white policeman thinks ill of the black teenager. D. Situations like this in the passage will never change.27. Which of the following best explain the underlined word in the passage? A. blame. B. forbid. C. prevent. D. defend. CMistakes can be learning opportunities, but the brain needs time for lessons to sink in. When facing fast decisions, even the momentary distraction of noting an errorcan decrease accuracy on the next choice, researchers report in the March 15Journal of Neuroscience.To test peoples response to making mistakes, Buzzell and colleagues at George Mason University in Fairfax,monitored 23 participants brain activity while they worked through a challengingtask. Concentric(同心的) circles flashed briefly on a screen, and participants had to respond with one hand if the two circles were the same color and the other hand if the circles wereslightlydifferent shades.After making a mistake, participants generally answered the next question correctly if they had a second or so to recover. But when the next challenge came very quickly after an error, as little as 0.2 seconds, accuracy dropped by about 10 percent. Electrical activity recordedfrom the visual cortex(大脑皮层) showed that participants paid less attention to the next experiment if they had just made a mistake than if they had responded correctly. The cognitive(认知的) demand of noting and processing the error seems to change attention that would otherwise be devoted to the task, Buzzell says.In real life, people usually have time even if just a few seconds to reflect on a mistake before having to make another decision. But in some activities such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument, people must recover from errors quickly while continuing to correctly carry out the rest of the task. Those actions might push the limits of error processing.28. According to the study by Buzzell, which of the following should be the major concern if wewant to avoid making mistakes?A. The difficulty of the tasks.B. Time to respond to the mistakes.C. The devotion to the tasks.D. Reflection on the mistakes.29. What can we know from Paragraph3?A. Participants would pay more attention to the next task if they just made a mistake.B.The cognitive demand of noting and processing the error can help participants focus on thenext task.C. The more time participants took to recover from the mistake, the lower accuracy they wouldget.D. If participantsareresponding correctly, theyll be devoted to the tasks heart and soul.30. Which of the following person can have the most time to correct his mistake?A. A pianist playing at the concert.B. Ataxi driver on the road.C. Aprofessor working on a research paper.D. A table-tennis player playing in the match.31. What could be the best title of the passage?A. Mistakes Can Teach Us Lessons.B. One Mistake Will Lead to Another.C. Mistakes Can Be Learning Opportunities.D. Making MistakesCan Put Your Brain on “Pause”.DPsychologists who study moral judgments have found that when people are faced with moral dilemmas, they tend to respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa, volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the “trolley problem”: imagine that a runaway trolley bus is rushing toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move. You are next to a switch that can change the trolley to a different set of tracks, thereforesaving the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch?Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People hesitate to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that setting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one. Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language or a foreign one? According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing modes of thinking: one of these, a quick “feeling” and the other, careful consideration about the greatest good for the greatest number. When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more careful mode simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language reminds our brain to prepare for painstaking activity. An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are associated with greater emotionthan those learned in more academic environment. As a result, moral judgments made in a foreign language are less filled with the emotional reactions that appear when we use a language learned in childhood.What is a multilingual(多语言的) persons “true” moral self? Is it my moral memories that taught me what it means to be “good”? Or is it the reasoning Im able to apply when free of such unconscious restrictions? Or perhaps, this research simply indicates what is true for all of us: regardless of how many languages we speak, our moral compass is a combination of the earliest forces that have shaped us and the ways in which we escape them.32. In the famous “trolley problem” experiment volunteers are asked to.A. change the trolley to a different set of tracks B. push a large stranger off a footbridge C. sacrifice one persons life to save another five peopleD. get involved in making a moral judgment33. What matters most when we judge morality in a foreign language?A. Emotional feelings.B. Careful consideration.C. Academic environment.D. The mode of thinking.34. What does the writer think determines a multilingualpersons “true”moral self in the last paragraph? A. Moral memories. B. Reasoning. C. Unconscious restrictions. D. A combination of more than one factor.35. What can we learn from the passage?A.Native Spanish speakers with English as their foreign language are sure to push that person off the footbridge.B. An Italian student may find the story of a morally bad person less wrong when it is told in English.C. Faced with the same maths problem, one must make more mistakes in a foreign language than in his native one.D. Representatives at the UN are supposed to base their decisions more on emotion than on reasoning.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。Three Steps to a Rewarding CareerYou see the saying: “Do what you love, love what you do.” 36 “When it comes to work, it is much easier to focus on earning a paycheck to feed, clothes and provide housing for yourself and your family than it is to examine your purpose and passion.” says Julie Jansen, an executive career coach in Stamford, Connecticut. She has come up with a three-part process to help individuals find more rewarding jobs or careers.Step 1: 37 Jansen suggests having a full understanding of personal values, interests, attitudes and skills. The point is to understand your strengths and how these lead to a meaningful career. Take note of what is important in your career and in your personal life. 38 One person might want to spend more quality time with the family, while another might want to join a particular group of people.Step 2: Identify barriers 39 For example, age, money, time, education or lack of experience. Then, figure out how to overcome those barriers.Step 3: Create an action planYou must be very clear about what you need to do to improve your career goals. Think about each and every step you need to take. Divide your plan into short-term action steps. 40 “By putting your short-term goals on paper, you will feel more determined to do what you have to do in order to create the meaning you are looking for in your work,” she says.A. Find what you like best.B. Complete a self-assessment.C. Of course, meaning looks different for everyone.D. Set very clear deadlines for when you will get each done.E. Think about what may keep you from taking up a different kind of occupation.F. To find meaning, you need to question the purpose of the work you are doing now.G. Yet some people never find work that they love or work that gives meaning to their lives.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。So I went first to the gambling(赌博的) hall to seek out the table where he had been sitting, and think of his hands that I had fallen in love with at first sight the day before among all the others there. Every one of his 41 was still clear before my minds eye, 42now he must be on that train carrying him away from this city. When I was 43in the deep guilt that I had missed that train yesterday, something strange happened.

A rushof anger 47me but I held it back. “You will get up at once!” I whispered to him in a soft but 48tone. “Remember what you swore in church yesterday, you poor perjurer!(伪誓者)”.He stared at me, 49and pale.
