I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me.I was a new 21 ,
and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were
awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting. 22 he was a bright student.
He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way
reflected his 23 .
So when Simon’s mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was
completely 24 for her lisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said,
surprising me beyond speech. 25 me, Simon had become a different person. He
talked of how he 26 me, he had began to make friends, and for the first time in
his twelve years, he had 27 spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to
tell me how grateful she was for the 28 I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed
me again and left.

were 32 reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke 33 , and to

is the 34 one you have to convince, and he can’t hear you in the 35 of the
room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more
attention, 36 more, and became happy. And it was all because he 37 to be the
last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed 38 was the one who took the
last seat that day.
It taught me the most 39 lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m
thankful that it came 40 and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a
difference.

第二部分 阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳
选项，并在答 题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策
略). There are lessons in that time- honored coin-saving container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a
12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb
33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10
years for a special occasion, to collect the $$15,000 cost, you have to save $$3.93 a day.
If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $$1,434 in a savings
account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted
something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children,
but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans
see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many
believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial
success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.
Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is
bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit
instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar
or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored
clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg Middle English word
for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”,
eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as
in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more
with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting
children and adults. The piggy bank was born.
Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of
seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving,
adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that
require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care,
starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have
money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
41. What is the piggy bank strategy?
A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.
C. Aiming high even when doing small things.
D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.
42. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?
A. To delight him with the latest fashion. B. To encourage him to climb
mountains.
C. To help him form the habit of saving. D. To teach him English pronunciation.
43. What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer
to?
A. Money B. Gifts
C. Financial success D. Good luck
44. The piggy ban originally was _________.
A. a potter’s instrument B. a cheap clay container
C. an animal- shaped dish D. a pig-like toy for children
45. The last paragraph talks about ________.
A. the seriousness of educating children B. the enjoyment of taking a
great trip
C. the importance of managing money D. the difficulty of starting a
business
B
Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in
doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is
common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each
other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible,
with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on
time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil.
Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring
face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a
small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands.
Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal,
so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their
discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority
is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people
avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first
with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull
away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men
also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People
do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at
restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.
When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It
might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is
always set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are
respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics.
Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’
time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have
clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others
might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners.
They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is
polite to finish the food on your plate.
46. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. communication types B. the workplace atmosphere
C. customs and social manners D. living conditions and standards
47. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A. They put efficiency in the first place.
B. They dislike face-to-face communication.
C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
48. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?
A. When greeting seniors. B. When meeting the host alone.
C. When attending a presentation. dining with business partners.
49. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner
table?
A. In Brazil. B. In Singapore.
C. In the United Arab Emirate. D. In Switzerland.
C
Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm
fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses
were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the
dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low
technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school
craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not
virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get
creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds,
are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other
companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses
on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can
“work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire
floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop
park with a walking trail.
Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech
companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives,
and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because
they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’re looking for a way to regain
their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do
that.”
This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and
writer, turned back to pre- industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the
Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines.
“Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris
said.
Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental
capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through
woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of
environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of
natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the
