Not when achieving your dreams seems an entire 44 .” Mercer spoke for about four minutes, after which he received a standing ovation(鼓掌) from the class and 45 messages from family, friends and strangers. “They’ve been sending me messages on Facebook, email, they’ve been talking to me in person telling me how it had a 46 on their lives and how they’re really 47 by it,” Mercer told ABC News. “It feels 48 .

It was sometimes forgotten that he was also a real father of six, grandfather of 18, great-grandfather of eight, and husband to three women. He earned a place in history just like another father of a nation, Mahatma Gandhi. But there was a fundamental difference between these beloved men. While Gandhi was thought to be a depressed family man, Mandela was a strong and loving family man. Even so, Mandela and his family paid dearly for his devotion to his country's freedom. Mandela himself offered a glimpse into his personal war. "To be the father of a nation is a great honor, but to be the father of a family is a greater joy. But it was a joy I had far too little of." he said in April 1992, announcing his separation from Winnie. In 1944, Nelson Mandela married Evelyn. "I could not give up my life in the struggle," Mandela explained in his autobiography(自传), Long Walk to Freedom, "and she (Evelyn) could not live with my devotion to something other than herself and her family... I never lost my admiration for her, but in the end we could not make our marriage work." They divorced in 1958. When Evelyn died in 2004, Mandela stood at her graveside with his third wife, Graca. Winnie also attended the funeral. Mandela married Winnie in 1958. But Winnie bore the hardship of life as Mandela, enduring her husband's 27-year imprisonment. From prison, Mandela wrote some of the greatest love letters to Winnie. "I dust it (your photo) carefully every morning – I even touch your nose with mine to regain the electric current that used to run through my blood whenever I did so." For many South Africans, it was the end of a fairytale love story when their separation was made public in 1992. "Tensions" had arisen and they had agreed on a separation. The hurt in his words was clear "Perhaps I was blinded to certain things because of the pain I felt for not being able to play my role as a husband to my wife and a father to my children." “Unstable(不稳定的) personal lives seemed freedom fighters' destiny(命运),” he said. "When your life is the struggle, as mine was, there is little room left for family. That has always been my greatest regret, and the most painful aspect of the choice I made." The couple divorced in 1996. 51. The author mentioned Mahatma Gandhi in the second paragraph in order to _________. A. show the character of Gandhi B. prove Mandela is the great leader C. draw attention to Mandela’s personal life D. honour these two great fathers 52. The underlined sentence in the third paragraph shows_________. A. Mandela felt regretful about his family life B. Mandela got no joy from his family C. Mandela was not satisfied with his wife Winne D. Mandela preferred to be the father of the nation 53. The first wife of Nelson Mandela is _________. A. Winnie B. Evelyn C. Graca D. not mentioned 54. What is the best title of the passage? A. Mandela not just the father of the nation. B. Mandela a devoted leader of the nation. C. Mandela a freedom fighter with deep love. D. Mandela success and failure. B If you have seen or heard of the British TV series Downton Abbey, you have probably noticed an “upstairs-downstairs” class system in which the noble people are upstairs, worrying what clothes they should wear for dinner and the poor people are downstairs, working hard to make food and tea. So it’s not hard to tell that people are divided into different classes. British society has changed a lot since the days of Downton Abbey, but the division still exists and the funny accents do, too. Nowadays, what divides Britons is the so-called “North-South divide”. As you make your way north from the south coast of England, the accent begins to change. The posh “How are you” in parts of the South becomes “Ahhdu” (how do you do) in the Midlands, “reeit” (are you alright) in the North West, “eyyup” (what’s up) in Yorkshire, and “hou’s it gaun” (how’s it going) in Scotland. Besides accents, the economy also changes. The rich southern city of London slowly becomes the North where people generally have less money. So where does the “South” stop being the “South” and the “North” start being the “North”? Well, depending on where someone comes from in Britain, you’ll get a different answer. “Anywhere above London is ‘the North’,” you might hear a Londoner say. Or if you’re in Scotland, you might hear, “Southern softer!”, talking about a person from Lancashire or Yorkshire, who think of themselves as “hard (tough) Northerners”. “Anywhere south of Manchester is not northern,” you might hear a person from Manchester say. Many stereotypes (成见) have come from the “North-South Divide”, too. Often, southerners are seen as being rude and snobbish (势利眼的) by northerners. And northerners are often seen as uneducated by southerners. Today, the career you have and the person you marry don’t depend on where you were born or what class you are from. But as London is getting richer and people are moving to the South for work, the North-South divide is getting bigger. Yet for all that divides us, the truth is, we couldn’t live without each other! 55. The first paragraph serves to _________. A. compare the lives of upstairs with those of downstairs B. explain how the class system worked in the past C. attack the unfair class division D. introduce the topic of the passage 56. People from North West greet each other by saying _________. A. “hou’s it gaun” B. “reeit” C. “eyyup” D. “ahhdu” 57. From Paragraph 4 we get to know _________. A. Scotlanders think Londoners are not strong enough B. Manchester people think Scotland belongs to the South C. Manchester people regard themselves as Northerners D. there is no such thing as “North-South Divide” 58. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. British accents are different from North to South. B. Class division is getting smaller at present. C. It is about the “North-South Division” and its influence. D. Northerners and Southerners dislike each other in Britain. C When I started a degree in English language, I hadn’t intended to study abroad, not to mention starting learning German. But having recently returned from my year abroad in Germany, I can say that making the effort to learn the language really enriched my experience. With language translation technology advancing all the time, it’s convenient to rely on Google Translate and smartphone apps without having to learn the language. But a second language shouldn’t be a luxury(奢侈品). Researchers have discovered that much language learning can increase the size of your brain in as little as three months. From my own experience, learning the language lets you travel beyond the well-known tourist paths, gain a real student experience and widen your social network beyond the international circle. The process of learning German abroad was completely different from my language course at university, where students sat quietly and stumbled(结巴) through spoken exercises. Instead, language learning abroad was energetic and part of my lifestyle – from chatting with sales assistants to preparing speeches with course mates. It meant being part of the local area. Visiting language exchange cafés – where international and German students meet to improve their European language – was a great way to practice in a relaxed space and meet a wide range of people. Not being afraid to make mistakes is important to learn a language. By giving up that comfortable phrase “Ich spreche nur ein bisschen Deutsch!” (I speak only a little German), I made progress and it was praised by friends and locals alike. Germany has a lively theatre scene and learning the language meant I was able to get more entertainment and an understanding of German culture. Even when it comes to eating out, knowing the language works to your advantage. In more than a few traditional German restaurants, the English menus didn’t contain all the dishes listed on the German menus. Learning the language has saved me from getting on the wrong train, after last-minute platform changes were announced in German. So why not learn the local language in your year abroad? It’ll improve your employability while letting you take part fully in local life. 59. What is the purpose of writing this passage? A. To share his or her experience of learning a foreign language. B. To tell the readers the advantages of knowing a foreign language. C. To give the readers an understanding of German culture. D. To advise the readers to learn a local language when abroad. 60. What is the writer’s opinion about a second language? A. It is not popular any longer. B. It costs a lot of money. C. It is practical and useful. D. It demands much brain to learn. 61. When a person says “Ich spreche nur ein bisschen Deutsch!”, he feels_________. A. comfortable about the situation B. afraid to make mistakes C. satisfied with the progress D. confident about himself 62. How does the writer develop his or her argument? A. By explaining reasons and results. B. By listing the advantages. C. By comparing different methods. D. By providing scientific discoveries. D If you don’t think technology can improve your trip, meet Judy Williams. When she and her husband recently checked into Blu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked them to sign the dotted line on a room rate hundreds of dollars higher than their online offer. “It was not a cheap stay,” says Williams, a lawyer from Billings, Mont. But it became more of one after her husband fired up the Booking.com app he’d used to book their room on his smartphone. “As soon as we showed him the cost, he honored it,” Williams says. Technology may create challenges for travelers but it can also solve them. It’s more than making sure of a hotel cost. The latest Booking.com can help users select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed(已确认的) cost so they never need to re-discuss their hotel price. Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. There’s a new app called Commute which is aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. But if you’re headed to Los Angeles or Honolulu, where visitors can easily get stuck in hours of heavy traffic, Commute can help. Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic information 15 minutes before you leave. Testing Commute proved to be a challenge for me, because my home address is about 900 miles from my place of work. But if you have only a short distance to travel through a heavily populated area, you can use Commute to avoid traffic jams. Another source of travel-related problems is money. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a foreign currency. The latest Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It immediately changes a country’s native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso(浓咖啡) in Milan costs in dollars. It can also warn you when you’re overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when you’re on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases. Taken together, these apps solve some of the most common travel problems. But not all of them. Some things, no smartphone can fix, which means I get to keep my job – for now. 63. What does the writer want to tell through the example of Judy Williams? A. The cost of Blu Hotel was higher than that of others. B. The clerk was very friendly and patient. C. The smartphones have many functions. D. Technology can make our trips better. 64. Commute is not suitable for those who_________. A. have a long journey B. go on the same trip every day C. can easily get stuck in traffic jams D. travel a short distance downtown 65. What is the function of Travel Money Tracker? A. It tells people how much Espresso costs. B. It changes the native currency to yours. C. It warns people when they are shopping. D. It records all people’s purchases. 66. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To encourage people to travel. B. To introduce some new apps. C. To help people with technology problems. D. To provide people with traveling information. E The last five pounds. The vanity(虚荣) pounds. The dream weight. The fantasy weight. The high school weight. Yes, many names are given to the weight – the five pounds – that seems just out of reach no matter how much we exercise and improve our eating habits. But why is it out of reach? Is it all in our heads? Or is it because the body has a set-point or ideal weight – a weight to which it doesn’t want to give in? “There is no such thing as ideal body weight,” says James, author of “Weight Loss That Lasts.” “But your body does resist you when you are trying to lose weight. It gets used to a certain weight over a long period of time and then will defend that weight.” In other words, the body’s “set point” can be lowered – or raised, he says, but it takes time to reset that new weight. That period of time is at least six months. “I often ask patients, ‘What is the lowest stable weight of your adult life?’ to get an idea of what is realistic” in terms of weight loss and maintenance(保持), James says. He refers to the body’s refusal to change, weight-wise, as an “biological control system that prevents us from going hungry and dying – part of our primitive(原始的) biology.” Some people might get down to their dream weight for a short period but then can’t keep it long because the calorie limits are too strict once the body starts defending itself against weight loss. “That’s why it’s important to set realistic goals,” he says. “The idea of the ‘ideal weight’ or ‘dream weight’ is really just a useless exercise.” But let’s say your goal is realistic and has been set by a nutritionist (营养师)or other weight-loss professionals and you are still plateauing. What could be going on? The reason is that you need fewer calories the less you weigh. So if you want to continue to drop weight, you have to drop calories and increase calorie-burn. James encourages people to tell the difference between weight loss goals for health reasons and those to do with vanity. “They are different issues,” James says. “One is where important health benefits are seen and the other is about vanity – wanting to look good in a bathing suit.” 67. What might a” set-point weight” refer to? A. A weight that the body doesn’t want to change. B. A weight that you have kept for a long time. C. A weight that you are trying to lose. D. A weight that can be raised or lowered. 68. People can’t keep their dream weight for a long time because_________. A. the body system stops us from hunger B. the calorie limits are extremely strict C. we haven’t turned to nutritionists for advice D. we can’t keep the habits of dieting for six months 69. What does it mean by saying “you are still plateauing” ? A. Your weight keeps increasing. B. Your weight remains unchanged. C. You are still worrying. D. You are still dreaming. 70. According to the passage, what is James’ most possible attitude towards t weight loss for vanity? A. Encouraging. B. Critical(批判的). C. Supportive. D. Neutral(中立的). 第四部分:书面 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 达(共两节，满分50分) 第一节:完成句子(共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分) 阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答 案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。 71.

Years have passed; great changes have taken place in the society, where many of my classmates choose to become wealthy or famous and some prefer to do relaxing jobs. However, my dream remains the same, to become a teacher. You may wonder why I want to become a teacher. My mum is a teacher. Since I could remember, she has been teaching in a high school. She often shares her students’ stories with me. I clearly remember how happy she was when her students made progress and how worried she was when they were in trouble. I can deeply feel my mother’ care for the students.I believe it’s because of her love for education and her students that her students are trying very hard to do wellin their work and to be good citizens. That’s what a teacher is all about. Meanwhile, I am also lucky enough to have such teachers at school. They guide me to be a responsible person; they lead me to the palace of knowledge; they support me when I am in trouble. These are why I want to become a teacher. I want to be somebody like my mum and my teachers. And I believe I can make a big difference in educating the young and make a great contribution to the society.
