17、从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I used to think of myself as a quite international person, but my bookshelves told a different story. Besides a few Indian novels and an Australian book, my literature collection was only 36 British and American titles. At the start of 2012, I set myself the

18、37 of trying to read a book from every 38 in a year to find out what I was missing.Knowing that its impossible to find books from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of the 39 bookshop, I decided to ask the planets readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World for suggestions o

19、f 40 I could read in English. The response（响应）was 41 . People all over the 42 were getting in touch with me, offering ideas and book 43 . Some posted me books from their home countries. Several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare 44 to read works unavailable in

20、 Britain. Even with such an amazing team behind me, however, getting books in English was no 45 task. This was especially true for some African countries. And when it 46 to the small island nation of San Tome & Principle, I would have given up 47 a team of helpers who 48 a book of short stories by O

21、linda Beja. Then there were places where stories were 49 written down. All in all, getting stories like these 50 as much time as the reading, 51 the effort was worth it. In the hands of different writers, I was taken inside the 52 of people living far away and shown the world through their eyes. The

22、se 53 not only opened my mind to life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel. And that in turn 54 my thinking.

26、 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A.We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and cant go to the dinner, you can ring

27、him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and dont forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on. When you are at dinner, you should

28、also observe (遵守) some other customs (风俗). Here Ill give you some dos and donts about them in the following:1) Dont leave bones on the table or the floor. (You should put them on your plate with fingers.)2) Dont use your bowl to drink soup, but use your spoon to help you instead.3) Dont talk with mu

29、ch food in your mouth.4) Dont ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face. Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your frie

30、nd will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.56. When you come to the dinner, youd better .A. get there a bit earlier B. put on your usual clothesC. take your best friends with youD. take some presents like flowers, choc

31、olates and so on57. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Custom in England and America B. Custom in the WestC. Life in the West D. Custom at Dinner Table in the WestBThe economy continues to struggle and students are faced with high tuition（学费）costs and an uncertain future when they gra

32、duate. In order to make ends meet, some students will turn to credit（信用）cards. However, should college students have credit cards? Across the country, students are getting encouraged to sign up for credit cards. In exchange, they get towels, thin T-shirts and short-term deals on better interest rate

33、s. As an educator, this does have an effect on me.There is obviously some value in having a credit card while in college. The American financial system is built around building credit. For young people, this is typically achieved by proving that they pay a bill on a regular basis. You would think th

34、at people without credit cards would have higher scores, but that is not the case. Therefore, students can start to build a credit history by having a credit card.College is not just about gaining information and learning skills. Higher education is also about learning responsibility, which is why h

35、aving a credit card can be a good way to manage a level of independence. For many people, college means some of the best years of life. Relationships and memories are built as students enjoy a time of discovery and exploration. Of course, there is the reality that some students spend their college y

36、ears buying gadgets（小玩意儿）, eating out and going to parties. Unfortunately, this is where the credit card can be a dangerous item, as it can be far too convenient to buy entertainment supplies. I love working with college students because they have great potential（潜力）, but I also know that they can s

37、ometimes make poor choices.I worry that students wont pay their tuition because they have to pay their credit card bill. I would hate for a student to drop out of school because they loaded up the credit card with weekend entertainments. So college students can certainly get credit cards, but they m

38、ust respect them.58. The underlined phrase “sign up for” in the first paragraph probably means “_”.A. prepare forB. apply forC. make up forD. arrange for59. How can students build credit according to this article? A. By paying bills regularly with their credit cards. B. By signing up for credit card

39、s successfully. C. By managing a level of independence. D. By being able to pay their own tuition.60. It can be inferred from the article that _. A. college means great academic achievements B. students who have credit cards get higher scoresC. college students can sometimes make poor choices D. own

40、ing credit cards may have side effects on studentsCMy first real, paying job was at Bloomingdales in Stamford, Connecticut. It was 1980, an age known for disco, and I was a high school student. It seemed that I belonged to the store my grandparents and other family lived nearby, and my mother had be

41、en a shopper there since it opened in the 1950s. My mother even joked that she went into labor with me there she headed right to the hospital to have me!I worked during school breaks. It was a part-time sales job and I moved from department to department as needed. Not only were the workers amazing,

42、 so were the customers. I met dozens of famous people and great designers of the time, including Carol Burnett, Phil Donahue, Donna Karan and Diana Ross.One day, I was asked to help the personal shopping office. This was the team that handled shopping mostly for the rich and famous. Each customer wo

43、uld have a salesperson to serve. The head of personal shopping pulled me aside and asked, “Can you handle difficult customers?” I said, “Fine, no problem.” After taking a deep breath, she said, “Okay, Id like to introduce you to Ms. Diana Ross.”There she was. I didnt say anything about how wonderful

44、 she looked, or how amazing her songs were. I was sure she knew all that already! I got right to work. After getting lots of clothing and some other things together from around the store, and getting everything to the fitting rooms, Ms. Ross and her two young daughters continued to try things on. Ms

45、. Ross tried on one dress and asked what I thought. I said something like, “It makes your butt look huge, dont get it!” She asked my opinion again when she tried on the next. I told her, “Nope, your bosom is all wrong in that.” I continued to bring her more and different things, until she looked as

46、amazing as possible and I told her so. She spent hours trying on clothes and ended up buying a big pile of clothing.I didnt understand why anyone would have said that she was difficult. But it turned out that I was the first personal shopper to treat her properly. To the shock of everyone in the dep

47、artment, she hugged me and said, “Youre the first person who actually told me how I looked. Everyone else was so scared of me. They just said You look great! no matter what. Tim, I want to work with you again!”So as I worked on and off at Bloomingdales through my teen years, Id pull together clothin

48、g for Ms. Ross. Other people were sent my way, too. The sales relationship worked beautifully, for everyone. I learned a lot about myself then, about being true to myself and my customers, about creating lasting relationships through honesty, and about making the sale when the product is truly good

49、for my customer.Generally, the story has never changed from my early days in business, through my post-college years as a manager at Macys, Pottery Barn, and Guess, to my years selling data products and services for two companies, or to more recent times as a digital marketer and e-commerce（电商）leade

53、 selling products or services is a hard taskDAfter my husband died suddenly from a heart attack, my world completely changed around me. My six children were ten, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was burdened with the responsibilities of making a living, caring for the children and just p

54、lain keeping my head above water.I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly I was uncomfortable. Every unusual noise and any late-night phone call would fill me with f

55、ear. I felt unbelievably alone.One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd（牧羊犬）on our doorstep. I was cautious. Where did this obviously well-cared-for dog come from? Was it safe to let the children play with a strange dog? Finally I let him sleep in the basement

56、 until the next day, when we could search around the neighborhood for his owner. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for Germans owner, but with no results. German, meanwhile, made himself part of the

57、 family and good-naturedly put up with hugs, playing in the yard. Saturday night he was still with us, so again he was allowed to sleep in the basement. On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off wi

58、thout him. But when we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were surprised to see German jumping onto the hood（引擎盖）and looking directly into my eyes. No way was he going to be left behind. So he stayed again Sunday. Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school.

59、 He didnt come back. We were sure that he had gone home or been found by his owner, and that we would never see him again. We were wrong. The next Friday evening, German was back on our doorstep. And again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived.This repeated every weekend for a

60、lmost 10 months. We grew more and more fond of German. We stopped thinking about where he belonged he belonged to us. We took comfort in his strong, warm presence, and we felt safe with him near us. Each week, between Germans visits, I grew a little stronger and a little braver; every weekend I enjo
