        Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(40 points)

        Directions：There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A，B，C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.

        Passage One

            Big data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be contained or processed by any one machine or person.

            As a student at the University of Sussex，Julian Dailly had two majors—English and philosophy. When he completed his studies，Dailly wondered how he could ever earn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now，he is part of the big data industry that includes Google and Facebook.

            Dailly's research company，Morar Consulting，started three years ago with five employees. The company's earnings have increased by 25% each year. It now employs 90 people.“What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful for people and link that to their economic behavior.”Dailly said.

            He noted the importance of working with people with different skills.“We have people from traditional research background，in addition to some in social sciences，economics，people from tech backgrounds，and sales people.”Dailly said.

            Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates. The industry profits from the idea of these young man and women. New forms of data also make it possible for some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than the traditional forms of data recording or reporting.

            “We have access to the core information inside people's heads.”Dailly said.“They tell you what peoples are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps people take proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy.”

            Julian Dailly dismissed concerns that computers have finally taken control of our daily lives.“Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines. I think it's a fantasy.”

        16.Dailly has and education background of           .

           A. engineering          B. arts          C. sciences          D. business

        17.Dailly's company focuses on businesses in           .

           A. marketing strategy                    B. machine selling

           C. staff training                        D. big data research

        18.The company's staff is characterized by all the following EXCEPT           .

           A. fresh ideas                           B. young age

           C. mixed education backgrounds           D. rich experience in the field

        19.The company is aimed at making use of the information to help people           .

           A. take predictive action                B. remember the past

           C. learn from each other                 D. stick to the tradition

        20.According to Dailly，the idea that human may be replaced by machines           .

           A. is a wise warning                     B. is pure imagination

           C. may come true                         D. needs further study

        Passage Two

            A new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set，but it may not stand for more than a year. Harriette Thompson，92，said that she hasn't ruled out running the Rock ‘n’Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Harriette finished in 7 hours，24 minutes，36 seconds，the BBC reports，coming close to the over-90 record of 7hours，7 minutes，and 42 seconds she set in 2014，despite having a very difficult year between marathons.“I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time，and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg,” Thompson，who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon，tells the AP. “I was just really thrilled that I could finish today.”

            At 92 years and 65 days old，Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill was when Burrill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.“I can't believe I made it,”Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer.“I was really tired at one point. Around Mile 21，I was going up a hill and it was like a mountain，and I was thinking,‘This is sort of crazy at my age. I can't do it.’But then I felt better coming down the hill. And my son Brenny kept feeding me all these wonderful carbohydrates(碳水化合物) that kept me going.”Thompson—whose parents，three brothers，and husband all died of cancer—tells the Observer that the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again next year.

        21.What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?

           A. She may not be able to be there.      B. She hasn't thought about it.

           C. She is sure to take part in it.       D. She is likely to run again.

        22.When did Thompson set her first over-90 marathon record?

           A. In 2010.         B. In 2012.          C. In 2014.         D. In 2016.

        23.What did Thompson mainly do in that difficult year?

           A. She took care of her husband.         B. She hurt her leg and had to rest.

           C. She received some new training.       D. She traveled around with her family.

        24.During this year's marathon，Thompson           .

           C. was confident she could make it       D. could hardly move in the end

        25.What inspired Thompson to run the marathon?

           A. Setting her son a good example.       B. Setting a new marathon records.

           C. Raising money for cancer treatment.   D. Living up her own promise.

        Passage Three

            Before the grass has thickened on the roadsides and leaves have started growing on the trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast food packets. Years ago I remember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags and discarded bottles. Nowadays，Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gone wrong?

            The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives last a lot longer than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away，it stays in the undergrowth(下层灌木) for years.

            It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take anything from 100 to 1000 years to rot. However，it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few years ago，the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister，Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastic industry protested，of course. However，they need not have bothered；the idea was killed before it could draw breath，leaving supermarkets free to give away plastic bags.

            What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action，both individual and collective，before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that people respond to their environment. If things around them clean and tidy，people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by rubbish，they behave like rubbish. Now，much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?

        26.What might be the best title for this passage?

           A. Plastic Bags                          B. Environment Protection

           C. Dirty Britain                         D. Rubbish Disposal

        27.The plastics industry in Britain protested because           .

           A. a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bags

           B. supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bags

           C. they were blamed for causing plastic pollution

           D. the government did not support them

        28.The expression “sliding downhill”(Para.4) probably means“          ”.

           A. working hard to reduce rubbish

           B. producing more plastic bags

           C. encouraging people to use plastic bags

           D. making things worse by taking no action

        29.Which of the following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?

           A. Optimistic.       B. Confused.        C. Concerned.       D. Indifferent.

        30.The purpose of the article is to           .

           A. encourage the public to take action against rubbish

           B. discourage people from supporting the plastic industry

           C. call on the government to protect the environment

           D. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bags

        Passage Four

            Those who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents，an agenda and a chairmen. All those present will have their say，after which their remarks are discussed.

            He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to，will find it unwise. The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important，or that the apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore，he might miss some of the essential information that may become evident during the meeting. Those who are present show an interest in the problems of their colleagues. They supply questions，rather than commands，and thus declare themselves “co-responsible”. The Dutch，in their final conclusions，like to use such metaphors as “We are all in one line” or “Our noses are pointing in the same direction again”.

            If you present a decision，you will find that everyone has something to say about it and has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As a result，the plan will be a joint approach.

            This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become a team. The amount of time that is lost around the table is more than what made up for inefficiency，once everyone goes back to work. Statistics show Dutch employees are among the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.

        31.According to Paragraph 1，meetings in Dutch companies seem to           .

           A. be held usually for important issues

           B. waste a lot of time in fruitless discussions

           C. enable employees to know each other better

           D. be good occasions for employees to show their talent

        32.To Dutch employees，one who is absent from a meeting           .

           A. does not take his colleagues seriously

           B. may have something more urgent to do

           C. does not miss much critical information

           D. may have nothing to say at the meeting

        33.According to Paragraph 3，why can't Dutch employees come to a quick decision?

           A. People are constantly in dispute.

           B. An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.

           C. Suggestions often lead nowhere.

           D. People often forget the aims of meeting.

        34.What does the last paragraph tell us?

           A. Many leaders in the world are Dutch.

           B. Dutch employees are highly productive.

           C. Dutch companies are the most successful in the world.

           D. Dutch employees work hardest in the world.

        35.The author's attitude towards the Dutch meeting is quite           .

           A. unclear          B. negative          C. positive          D. neutral

        3.【参考答案】C

          【答案详解】本题考查询问信息的场景。在对话里，Speaker A问Can I...？选项A. Yes，you do.这个回答对应的提问应该是：“Do I...?”；选项B. Go ahead.“往前走”，此处可以理解为：继续说吧；D. That's fun.“那太有趣了”。这三个选项均不符合此处语境。选项C. You certainly can.“当然可以。”符合此处语境。所以选C。

                      Speaker B：谢谢。

                      Speaker B：好的，先生。我马上去拿。

        10.【参考答案】D

           【答案详解】本题考查表达感谢及回答。选项A. Don't say thanks，选项B. Don't be so polite，选项C. You are so polite，这三个选项的意思分别是“不要说谢谢”“别这么客气”“你太客气了”，都是中式英语的回复方式。所以A、B和C都不正确。对于“Thank you for...”的回答应该是“不客气”“我很乐意”（It's my pleasure.）等之类的表达。所以选D。

           【参考译文】Speaker A：感谢您花时间和精力让我的访问圆满成功。

                       Speaker B：这是我的荣幸。

        11.【参考答案】C

           【答案详解】本题考查朋友之间谈论工作的场景。选项A. Is it boring?“很无趣吗？”与下一句got tired of意思一样，但是Speaker A的回答是No，所以逻辑关系不符合。选项B. Are you sure?“你确定吗？”和选项D. Are you serious?“你是认真的吗？”两个询问都与下一句的语意不一致。选项C. Did something happen? “什么事？”接着Speaker A说：没发生啥事，只是觉得厌倦了一次又一次做同样的事。所以选C。

           【参考译文】Speaker A：亲爱的，今天我辞职了。

                       Speaker B：为什么？发生什么事了？

                       Speaker A：没有，我只是觉得厌倦了一次又一次做同样的事。

           【答案详解】本题考查两个朋友对游泳的看法。选项A. So what.“那又怎样？”B. Good for me.“对我有益。”D. I don't.“我不。”A、B和D这三个选项均与此处语境不符。选项C. Me too.“我也是”，表示对Speaker A想法的认同，符合此处语境。所以选C。

                       Speaker B：真的吗？她过得好吗？

        14.【参考答案】B

           【答案详解】本题考查公司与客气对话的场景。通过对话内容，我们可以得知Speaker A是Shawinigan水电公司接线员（或前台），所以他询问对方有什么事？Speaker B应该陈述自己打电话的目的。选项A. Hello，can you tell me your name?“你好，能告诉我你的名字吗？”选项C. May I have your account number?“可以告诉我您的帐号吗？”这两个选项里是要求对方的名字或帐号，均不符合情理。选项D. OK，Thank you for your help.“好的，谢谢你的帮助。”此选项没有陈述打电话的目的，很明显是错误选项。选项B. I'm calling about my electricity bill.既陈述了打电话的目的，也与水电相关（询问电费账单的事）。所以选B。

           【参考译文】Speaker A：你好！Shawinigan水电公司，有什么可以帮您吗？

                       Speaker B：我打电话来是询问有关电费的事。

        15.【参考答案】A

        17.【参考答案】D

           【答案详解】细节题。关于Dailly's company的介绍，在第二段最后一句话中出现。Now he is... big data industry...此句中的关键词与选项D. big data research表述一致。所以选D。

           【答案详解】细节题。关于Dailly公司职员特点的介绍，在第四和第五段中出现。第四段：“...people from traditional research background，in addition to some in social sciences，economics，people from tech backgrounds，and sales people.”第五段：“... employ recent college graduates. The industry profits from the idea of these young man and women. New forms of data ...”这几句话包含了选项A. fresh ideas，B. young age，C. mixed education backgrounds，唯独没有D选项中的rich experience in the field（这个领域经验丰富的人）。所以选D。

        19.【参考答案】A

           【答案详解】细节题。这家公司充分利用信息帮助他人的目的是什么？定位到第五段倒数第二句话：New forms of data also make it possible for some observers to predict the future.其中“predict the future”与选项A. take predictive action表述一致。所以选A。

        20.【参考答案】B

           【答案详解】细节题。根据题干“humans may be replaced by machines”可以定位到最后一段：“Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines. I think it's a fantasy.”其中“fantasy”与选项B. is pure imagination语义一致。所以选B。

        【参考译文】

            大数据可以被定义为大或复杂的信息，不能被任何一台机器或个人包含或处理。

            作为一名学生，在Sussex大学，Julian Dailly有两个专业：英语和哲学。当他完成学业时，他很好奇如何在一个到处是机器和技术的世界里谋生。现在，他是包括谷歌和脸谱网在内的大数据产业的一部分。

            Dailly在Morar Consulting这样一个研究公司工作。三年前，这里只有五名员工。公司的利润每年增长25%。现在雇用了90人。“我们要做的是试图发现人们觉得有意义的事并将此与他们的经济行为联系起来。”Dailly说。

            他注意到不同技能的人一起工作的重要性。“我们中有来自于传统背景的人，包括一些从事社会科学、经济学的人员，还包括含有技术背景及销售方面的人员。”Dailly说。

            像Dailly所在的这样的公司还聘请了应届大学毕业生。这个行业得益于这些年轻男女的想法。新的数据形式也使一些观察者们能够预测未来，它们比传统的数据记录或报告更有价值。

            “我们已经进入人们的头脑里面的核心信息，”Dailly说。他们告诉你人们将要做什么，而不是他们做了什么。这有助于人们提前采取适当的行动。这使得它对战略更有用。

            Julian Dailly说他打消了电脑最终会控制我们日常生活的这种担心。“有些人可能担心人类会被机器取代。而我认为，这只是个幻想。”

        22.【参考答案】C

           【答案详解】细节题。通过题干中over-90 marathon record可以定位在第一段：...coming close to the over-90 record of 7 hours，7 minutes，and 42 seconds she set in 2014...所以选C。

        23.【参考答案】A

           【答案详解】细节题。通过题干中in that difficult year可以定位至第一段：...despite having a very difficult year between marathons. I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and I had to be with him for some time...与选项A. She took care of her husband.表述一致。所以选A。尽管在...and then when he died in January I had some treatments on my leg.这句话中提到了B选项中的leg，但是它只告诉了我们她的腿需要一些treatment（治疗），不一定是B中的因“hurt”而需要“rest”。所以B不正确。选项C和D文中没有提及。

        24.【参考答案】D

           【答案详解】细节题。定位至第二段Thompson跟Charlotte Observer说的一段话：“I can't believe I made it，”...“This is sort of crazy at my age. I can't do it. But then I felt better coming down the hill. And my son Brenny kept feeding me all these wonderful carbohydrates that kept me going.”大意是：她自己都不敢相信自己能做到，跑的过程中下山时感觉好点，一路上都是儿子在给予支持等。选项A. ran faster than last time（比上次跑得快）；选项B. once considered giving up（曾想放弃），C. was confident she could make it（自信能跑下来），这三个选项均与文章内容不符。选项D. could hardly move in the end（差点不能坚持到最后）与定位内容表述一致。所以选D。

        25.【参考答案】C

           【答案详解】细节题。通过题干中的inspire可以定位至最后一段的最后一句：...the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again next year.意思是：圣地亚哥马拉松是为Leukemia(白血病) Society筹款，这激发了她要去参跑，甚至明年她有可能还会来。A. Setting her son a good example.（给她儿子树立好榜样），B. Setting a new marathon records.（创造新的马拉松记录），D. Living up her own promise.（履行自己的承诺），这三个选项在文中并未提及。选项C. Raising money for cancer treatment.与定位内容表述一致。所以选C。

        【参考译文】

            马拉松赛跑年龄最大的女子新纪录已经确定，但这个记录保持时间可能不会超过一年。Harriette Thompson，92岁，她说不排队明年还会来参加在圣地亚哥举行的摇滚马拉松比赛。英国广播公司报道，Harriette在7小时24分钟36秒内跑完全程，接近7个小时7分钟42秒记录，这是她在2014年的90岁以上年龄的记录。准备马拉松比赛的这一年过得非常艰难。“我不能很好地训练，因为我的丈夫病得很重，我不得不和他待一段时间，然后在他一月去世后，我又对我的腿进行了治疗。”Thompson告诉美联社，在她70岁时，她第一次参加马拉松。“我今天能跑完全程，我真的很激动。”

            在90岁65天时，Thompson比Gladys Burrill大46天，那时Burrill跑完了2010年Honolulu马拉松。“我不敢相信我做到了，”Thompson告诉Charlotte Observer。“在某一刻时，我真的很累。在大约21英里时，我爬上了一座小山丘，但像是爬了一座大山，我在想‘在我这个年纪，这有点疯狂。我做不到。’但接着在下山时我感觉很好。一路上我的儿子Brenny给我一些奇妙的碳酸饮料使我坚持跑下去。”Thompson的父母、三个兄弟和丈夫都死于癌症，所以她告诉Charlotte Observer，圣地亚哥马拉松是为Leukemia(白血病) Society筹款，这激发了她要去参跑，甚至明年她有可能还会来。

        sliding downhill     走下坡路

        vast                 adj.广阔的，巨大的，大量的

        rubbish tip          垃圾场

        26.【参考答案】C

           【答案详解】主旨题。通常，给文章起标题有两个线索：一是看文章的开头段；二是看文章的结尾段。在这两段都提到了dirty、Britain这样的关键词，形成首尾呼应，同样也应该与标题照应。所以选C. Dirty Britain。

        27.【参考答案】A

           【答案详解】细节题。通过题干中的plastics industry、protest定位至第三段：...the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags...，Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain.即Michael Meacher试图学习爱尔兰政府，对不可回收购物袋征税，但这一做法引起了塑料行业的抗议。所以选A。

        28.【参考答案】D

           【答案详解】细节题。定位至第四段第一、二句话：What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action，both individual and collective，before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country that looks like a vast rubbish tip.意思是：现在显然需要的是一种联合行动，不管是个人还是集体，在为时已晚之前。另一种选择是继续走下坡路，直到我们看到一个像巨大垃圾场一样的国家。所以选D. making things worse by taking no action（不采取行动直至事情变得更糟糕）。

        29.【参考答案】C

           【答案详解】观点态度题。此题考查作者对环境的看法。换个角度理解就是考查对全文的理解。全文主旨见第30题详解。从全文来看，作者非常关心环境问题，但并不乐观。文章最后一段：Now，much of Britain looks pretty dirty. What will it look like in five years?（现在，英国很多地方看起来很脏。五年之后呢？）可见他对未来的英国环境既有关心，也有担心。所以选C。

        30.【参考答案】A

           【答案详解】主旨题。此题问写作目的，其实是考察对全文主旨的了解。文章第一段提出问题：英国到处很脏，为什么？第二段提出主要原因：生活中的垃圾处理不当。第三段提到具体原因：塑料袋被广泛滥用；解决方法遭到抗议。第四段呼吁不论个人还是集体，要联合起来，共同对垃圾采取行动。选项B. discourage people from supporting the plastic industry（阻止人们支持塑料行业），选项C. call on the government to protect the environment（呼吁政府保护环境），D. encourage supermarkets to give away recyclable bags（鼓励超市赠送可回收包装袋），三个选项均与文章内容不符，所以选A. encourage the public to take action against rubbish（鼓励公众对垃圾采取行动）。

        【参考译文】

            路边绿草如茵，树叶长得茂密前，是去看一看英国有多脏的绝佳时候。人行道上沾满了口香糖，沟渠里满是丢弃的快餐包装袋。多年前，我记得在国外旅行，看见到处都是塑料袋和丢弃的瓶子，我顿感悲伤。如今，英国看起来至少和这一样糟糕。出了什么问题？

            问题是我们日益流动的生活所造成的垃圾比以前持续地更长久。如果不清理和适当处理，它会停留在下层灌木很多年。

            据估计，我们向顾客提供了100亿个塑料袋。这将需要100到1000年的时间来处理这些塑料袋。然而，这并不是解决不了的问题。几年前，爱尔兰政府对不可回收的购物袋收税，三个月内减少了90%的使用量。当Michael Meacher还是一名部长时，他试图在英国采取类似的安排。当然，塑料行业提出了抗议。然而，他们不必费心了，这个想法在实施前就被遏制了，超市又可以免费赠送塑料袋了。

            现在显然需要的是一种联合行动，不管是个人还是集体，在为时已晚之前。另一种选择是继续走下坡路，直到我们看到一个像巨大垃圾场一样的国家。我们可能正处在临界点。然而，我们知道人们对环境的反应。如果他们周围的事物都是干净整洁的，人们就表现得干净整洁。如果人们被垃圾包围，他们的行为就会像垃圾一样。现在，英国的大部分地方看起来很脏。五年后会是什么样子？

        31.【参考答案】B

           【答案详解】细节题。第一段的第一句Those who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing.意思是：在荷兰工作的人常常觉得在讨论中浪费了大量的时间而一无所获。与选项B. waste a lot of time in fruitless discussions（在耗无结果的讨论中浪费了很多时间）表述一致。所以选B。

        32.【参考答案】A

           【答案详解】细节题。根据题干中one who is absent from a meeting定位至第二段：... or that the apparently does not take his colleagues seriously.与选项A. does not take his colleagues seriously（对待同事不认真）表述一致，所以选A。选项B. may have something more urgent to do与第二段第一句话“...though he has nothing more urgent to attend to...”意思相反，选项C. does not miss much critical information与第二段中：“Furthermore，he might miss some of the essential information...”意思相反；选项D. may have nothing to say at the meeting与第二段中：“Those who are present show an interest in the problems of their colleagues. They supply questions...”意思不一致。所以B、C和D都不正确。

        33.【参考答案】B

           【答案详解】细节题。第三段：If you present a decision，you will find that everyone has something to say about it and has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan.意思是：如果你提出一个决定，你会发现每个人都有话要说，以及有问题要问。这就是为什么荷兰人不能很快找到一个唯一正确的解决办法。这种方式的优点是，这样的会议往往会导致对某个计划的某些方面的改进提出真正的建议。此部分与选项B. An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.（一个想法往往要经过充分的讨论）表述一致。所以选B。选项A. People are constantly in dispute.（人们持续争论中），选项C. Suggestions often lead nowhere.（建议通常会导致一事无成），选项D. People often forget the aims of meeting.（人们经常忘记会议的目的），这三个选项均不正确。

        34.【参考答案】B

           【答案详解】细节题。最后一段：This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become a team.…Statistics show Dutch employees are among the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.意思是：这个耗时而看似无用的过程有助于同事成为一个团队。……统计数据显示，荷兰员工在工作效率方面属于世界领先者。与选项B. Dutch employees are highly productive.（荷兰员工很高效）表述一致。所以选B。

        35.【参考答案】C

           【答案详解】主旨题。作者对荷兰人的会议的态度可从全文大意中获悉。第一段作者提出通常人们对会议的看法。第二段列举出不参加会议的弊端。第三段讲出了会议耗时的原因及好处。最后一段是总结。总而言之，作者是积极支持参加会议的。所以选C。

        【参考译文】

            在荷兰工作的人常常觉得在讨论中浪费了大量的时间而一无所获。会议经常有文件、议程和一位主席。所有在场的人都有发言权，然后讨论他们的发言。

            虽然没有什么紧急的事情要做，但决定不去开会，这是不明智的。整个会议过程中，相互交流是非常重要的。不去开会说明他认为这个问题不够重要，或者很明显他没有认真对待他的同事。此外，他可能错过了会议期间可能出现的一些重要信息。在场的人对他们同事的问题表现出兴趣。他们提出问题，而不是命令，从而宣布自己“共同负责”。在最后的结论中，荷兰人喜欢用这样的比喻：“我们都在同一条线上”，或者“我们的鼻子又指向同一个方向”。

            如果你提出一个决定，你会发现每个人都有话要说，以及有问题要问。这就是为什么荷兰人不能很快找到一个唯一正确的解决办法。这种方式的优点是，这样的会议往往会导致对某个计划的某些方面的改进提出真正的建议。因此，这个计划将是一个联合的办法。

            这个耗时而看似无用的过程有助于同事成为一个团队。当每个人都回去工作时，在桌子周围所耗费的时间比弥补效率低所费的时间要更有意义。统计数据显示，荷兰员工在工作效率方面属于世界领先者。

        Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure(20 points)

        36.【参考答案】A

            这份报告来自普利矛斯大学的研究人员。报告说，儿童户外学习有许多好处。一个优点是它能建立孩子们的自信心，因为他们可以体验像爬树这一类的事，而这样的事对像孩子父母这一代人来说是一件很普通的事。另一个好处是它能让孩子们更了解周围的环境，并教会他们尊重大自然。因为孩子们得了更多锻炼，而不是坐在教室里或在家里玩电子游戏，这样对健康也有好处。

        Part Ⅴ Writing(15 points)

        Why do people like iPhones?

            Nowadays，mobile phones play an important role in our lives. You can find that a lot of people look at their mobile phones carefully when they are waiting for the buses rather than read a newspaper. I am also one of the people who cannot live without mobile phones，because mobile phones bring us some benefits.

            There are many brands of mobile phones in the market，such as Oppo，HUAWEI，Samsung，Xiaomi，and so on. But there is one mobile phone that is very popular among modern young people，which is Apple phone，that is，iPhone. I am of no exception.

            So many mobile phones，why do people love iPhone alone? The reasons are as follows: iPhone has its unique design-simplicity. There is only one button on the whole interface. Although there is only one button，the function is very powerful. That's the second reason that I'm going to say. The photo taken by an apple camera are in a variety of forms and are particularly good. In addition，during the flight mode，it can charge quickly. Of course，iPhone is powerful，and I don't know many of its setting. It's like a secret garden for me，which makes me have curiosity and desire for exploration.

            In a word，there are many reasons why people like iPhones. As far as I am concerned，there is an important reason for it，the founder of it，Jobs. He is a genius and innovative. His life in a legend. He is also a person who changes the world. He always encourages me in his 2005 speech at Stanford University graduation ceremony，“Stay hungry，stay foolish.” This is my motto.
