W：Jack, I find you are a good joke teller. Whenever you tell a joke, people laugh loudly.

M：Yeah, that's because I love jokes and I like sharing them with others.

W：I like sharing jokes, too. But when I tell jokes to my friends, they don't laugh at all. They try to force a smile, but I can see that they don't think it's really funny. It's so embarrassing.

M：I also find sometimes you try to amuse people, but no one laughs.

W：It's a complete joke when I tell jokes.

M：Maybe you need to change the way you tell jokes. Let me give you some tips.

W：Great!

W：I recently bought an old house， and now I'm trying to fix it up. I'd like to make a few home improvements before I move in. First of all， I'm pulling out all of the old carpet and laying down a new carpet throughout the house. I'm also putting in new light fixtures. The old ones don't light up the rooms very well. Next， I'm changing the entire kitchen by putting in new kitchen cabinets， a new counter top， a new sink and tap. I'm also going to buy new equipment for the kitchen. I'm also thinking about adding a new addition to the house， which would include a new family room and dining area. Outside our back door， I'm going to pick out an area where we can sit， relax， and have barbecues. We will also do something to the yard to beautify things a little. One final thing I need to do is to replace the roof. The old roof is falling off in places， and if I don't replace it， it might start having leaks in the house.

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Supreet Kaur, 28, was reporting the Saturday morning bulletin (新闻快报) for news channel IBC24 in Chhattisgarh, eastern India. She delivered a breaking news report about a car crash and spoke with a reporter on the phone who gave additional details. While the reporter didn't identify the three victims by name, there were enough details for Kaur to realise her Husband, Harshad Kawade, had been killed. She knew he had been travelling on the same road, at the same time with four friends in the same type of car identified in the accident—a Renault Duster.

But brave Kaur kept her professionalism and continued to read the headlines for another ten minutes—before breaking down in tears off camera.

Colleagues were full of admiration for the way the 28­year­old mother of one handled the situation. One editor told the Indian Express: “It clearly shows her sense of duty and professionalism that she continued and kept calm for another 10 minutes. The moment the cameras were off she began calling her relatives and broke down. She left for the accident site after that. Kaur has worked with us for nine years and is one of the most popular news presenters in the State.\” “We stand with our colleague in pain.” Another colleague told the Hindustan Times: “She is an extremely brave lady. We are proud of her as a news presenter, but what happened today has left us in shock.”

Viewers on social media were also full of praise for the way Kaur calmed herself down.

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文，印度一名女主播Supreet Kaur在播报一条车祸消息时，发现其中一名死者是自己的丈夫。但是勇敢的Kaur展现出了她的专业性，继续播报了10分钟的新闻，之后才失声痛哭。同事们对这位28岁的母亲的所作所为感到自豪与钦佩。

21．What happened to Supreet Kaur's husband?

A．He was murdered.

22．Right upon learning what happened to her husband, Supreet Kaur ________.

A．doubted the truth of the news

B．kept calm and continued her work

C．rushed to the accident site at once

D．burst into tears before the camera

答案：B　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，知道了丈夫的死，Kaur还是保持冷静，继续工作。故选B项。

23．What's the theme of this passage?

A．Friendship. B．Teamwork.

C．Understanding. D．Professionalism.

答案：D　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了印度女主播Supreet Kaur在播报一条车祸消息时，发现其中一名死者是自己的丈夫还能保持镇静继续工作，勇敢的她表现出了她的专业性。故D项符合题意。

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression (抑郁症) as young adults.

The researchers used a national long­term survey of adolescent (青少年的) health to survey the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than 4,000 adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in the year 2000.

As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one­half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.

Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty­one.

The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio, etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.

The study didn't explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.

Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, to attend religious services and to vote.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现青少年时看电视时间越长，长大后越容易有抑郁症困扰。文章建议年轻人要多参加户外活动，避免抑郁。

24．We can learn from the survey that of all the media use ________.

A．computer games are teenagers' favorite

B．most teenagers prefer to listen to the radio

C．teenagers enjoy watching TV very much

D．newspaper is not included in the survey

答案：C　细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Media use totaled an average of five and one­half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.”可知，年轻人每天使用媒体的平均时间是5个半小时，其中超过两个小时的时间被用在了看电视上，说明年轻人非常喜欢看电视。

25．According to the passage, what kind of activity may help prevent depression?

A．Taking part in sports.

B．Playing computer games.

C．Listening to the radio.

D．Watching movies.

答案：A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.”可知，年轻人使用媒体的时间是从其他可以防止抑郁的活动里拿出来的。B、C、D三项是使用媒体的内容，A项是非媒体的其他活动，故A项符合题意。

26．We can conclude that a teenager should ________.

A．play more video games instead of watching TV

B．attend religious services and care for politics

C．be more active in reading and studying

D．be active in taking part in outdoor activities

答案：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知要多参加户外活动来避免抑郁。

C

Lady Gaga's latest film became an instant hit over the weekend, helping push theaters to an October ticket­selling record.

A Star Is Born, actor­turned­director Bradley Cooper's remake of a Hollywood classic in the late 1930s, went beyond the previous expectations of movie analysts by roughly 30 percent.

The original production is such a great Hollywood myth that it's no wonder Hollywood keeps telling it. Whatever the era, the director or the headliners, it tells the story of two lovers on dramatically different paths: a famous man who's racing to the bottom and a woman who's soaring to the top.

Mr Cooper does a lot right in this movie A Star Is Born, beginning with the casting of Lady Gaga, whose relaxing, naturalistic performance is the key to the movie's force.

A post­Madonna pop artist was known for her elaborate (精心制作的) makeup and costumes, which she adopted no more here.

This unmasking of Lady Gaga makes her character seem genuine or say natural, a quality that the movie is in favor of and that serves as a kind of everlasting first principle.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了A Star Is Born这部电影的相关情况。

27．What does the author think of the new movie?

A．Boring. B．Recommendable.

C．Ridiculous. D．Amusing.

答案：B　推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者对这部电影尤其是主演Lady Gaga自然、真诚的表演是持肯定态度的。由此可推知，作者认为这部新电影是值得推荐的。

28．The underlined word “soaring” in the third paragraph probably means ________.

A．rising B．singing

C．running D．shouting

答案：A　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“it tells the story of two lovers on dramatically different paths: a famous man who's racing to the bottom and a woman who's soaring to the top”可知，在完全不同的两条道路上的两个爱人，其中这个有名的男人一直在走下坡路，因此这个女人应该是一直在向上发展。由此可推知，画线词意为“上升”，故选A。

29．What can we learn about the movie?

A．The remakes of the movie adopt different plots.

B．The movie tells the story of two friends on different paths.

C．Natural performance is considered as the only principle in this movie.

D．The movie is more impressive than what movie analysts expected.

答案：D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“went beyond the previous expectations of movie analysts by roughly 30 percent”可知，这部电影给人的印象比电影分析师预期的要好。

30．What is the best title for the passage?

A．A Hollywood Movie—A Star Is Born

B．Lady Gaga Is on the Edge of Potential Oscar Glory

C．A Latest Film of Lady Gaga Won the Oscar Award

D．The Box Office of Bradley Cooper's New Movie

答案：A　标题判断题。根据对全文的整体理解可知，这篇文章主要讲述了A Star Is Born这部影片的相关内容，故A项最适合作为文章标题。

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。

How to Do Man­on­the­Street Interviews

The man­on­the­street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. __31__ But with these tips, your first man­on­the­street interview experience can be easy.

•When your boss or professor sends you out to do man­on­the­street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？” __32__

•Hit the streets with confidence. __33__ Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.

•Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don't get discouraged.

•__34__ Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won't be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. __35__

•If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don't leave work without them.

A．Limit your time.

B．As you approach people, be polite.

C．If you don't own a camera, you can buy one.

D．For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.

E．To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.

F．That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.

G．With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何进行街头采访。

31．D　根据设空处后一句“But with these tips, your first man­on­the­street interview experience can be easy.”可知，D项“对于新记者来说，这似乎是一项具有挑战性的任务”符合语境。D项中的“new reporters”和设空处下一句中的“your first man－on－the street interview”对应，故选D。

32．G　根据前面的“develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it”和“you might ask ... ”可知，G项“问这样的问题，你将得到的不再仅仅是‘是’或‘否’的回答”符合语境。

33．B　根据后面的“Excuse me, ... and I was wondering if ... ”和“get people to warm up to you”可知，B项“当你接近别人时，要有礼貌”符合语境。

34．A　此处是段落主题句，根据后面的“Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes.”可知，本段主要谈论的是“限制你的采访时间”。

35．F　根据设空处前一句“A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten.”可知，F项“这样采访的次数会给你所有你需要的答案”符合语境。F项中的关键词“number”和设空处前一句的关键词“number”呼应，故选F。

It was a cool October evening. Excitement and family members __36__ the hall. I was only a 7­year­old girl, but I was the center of __37__. Finally, after weeks of preparation, I would __38__ all my hard work in a dance of performance. Everything would be __39__—so I thought. I waited backstage all __40__ in my black tights with a golden belt. In a loud and clear voice, the master of ceremonies __41__ that my class was next.

My dance class was doing a routine on wooden boxes two feet by two feet, facing the __42__. All I had to do in the next move was to put one foot on the box next to mine and keep my other foot on my box. It really was an __43__ move. I was concentrating so much, __44__ the huge smile on my face and holding my head up that I did not look __45__ I was going. I missed my partner's box altogether and __46__.There I was standing on the stage floor when my classmates were on top of their boxes. I could hear giggles (咯咯笑) coming from the audience, and I felt the __47__ rush to my face. I remembered my dance teacher had told us, “If you make a mistake, keep smiling so the audience will not __48__”. I did my best to follow her __49__ as I continued with the routine.

When the curtain dropped, so did my __50__ for the evening. I __51__ bitterly, tasting the salt from the tears that streamed down my face. I ran backstage, but no one could __52__ me down.

Recently I realized I had been a __53__ that night. I was __54__ but I fought the urge to run off the stage. __55__ I finished the routine with a smile on my face. Now when friends and family laugh about the time I slipped during a dance performance, I can laugh too.

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者参加的一次志愿活动。这次经历让作者明白志愿活动不仅可以改变其他人的生活，还让自己获得了帮助别人的满足感，正所谓送人玫瑰手有余香。

56．qualities　考查名词。one of＋可数名词复数形式，表示“……之一”，故填qualities。

57．including　考查介词。句意：有各种形式的志愿工作，帮助人的机会到处都是，包括学校和人们的花园。本空后直接接宾语，故应填介词including。

58．a/one　考查冠词。句意：我负责一个学前班，学生年龄为3到6岁。泛指“一个学前班”，故填a/one。

59．became　考查动词的时态。句意：随着时间推移，我变得对他们更熟悉。根据As time went on可知，事情发生在过去，故应用一般过去时。

60．youngest　考查形容词的最高级。句意：一位老师让我帮助班里最小的一个女孩画一幅画。根据空格前的the可知，本空应使用形容词的最高级。

61．based　考查非谓语动词。picture和base之间是被动关系，故应用过去分词作后置定语。

62．gradually　考查副词。修饰动词felt应用副词。

63．it　考查代词。本句中含有一个宾语从句，在宾语从句中，不定式是真正的主语，故应使用it作形式主语。

64．what　考查宾语从句的连接词。句意：我甚至对自己做的事情感觉很骄傲。此处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作主语，故用what引导。

65．valuable　考查词性转换。句意：它也是为我们未来培养社会技能和有用经验的一种好途径。修饰名词experience应用形容词。

Happy Endings

Perry Piccolo was a rich kid who led a very nice, comfortable life,_protected from most of the bad stuff in the world. One day, Perry went to the cinema to see a film he'd been dying to see. The problem was that he arrived a bit late, just as the last ticket was being sold to a very poor boy. The boy had been saving for weeks to buy this ticket. Realizing there was no ticket left, Perry was very angry, and started shouting and protesting, demanding that the boy hand his over.

“But why should I give you my ticket? I arrived before you did and I've paid for it.” said the boy.

At that moment, a very distinguished looking man came over to Perry and offered him a ticket, saying, “Of course, my boy. You have more of a right than him to see this movie.”

Then Perry, in the most showy_and_superior way, walked off from the boy and entered the cinema. When he got inside the auditorium,_Perry looked around and was pleased to see that the place was filled with other rich children like himself. He made his way to a seat. However, as soon as Perry sat down, he disappeared and was somehow teleported onto the cinema screen. He realized he had turned into a movie character,_playing the central role in many stories. And in all those stories Perry started out with a lot of bad luck: a couple of times his parents disappeared, other times his house burned down and he lost all his money. In some stories he had to travel to countries where he didn't understand the language, in others he had to work straight from childhood, to help support all his brothers and sisters. Sometimes he found himself in a situation where everyone treated him like a fool, or like someone who had no feelings ...
