10、ce that day， Martha was left to keep her eyes open until after the lunch hour. Then Mr Max Cohen brought her a document to copy. She was so anxious she had to start afresh three times。 And when he came to fetch it， all that had been achieved were the words “Memorandum of an Agreement of Sale typed a

11、cross the top of the sheet. She shrank under his impatient assurance that it did not matter in the least， and she must take her time。 Her fingers were heavy and trembling， and her head was thick. To type two pages of his small neat writing into something clean and pleasant to look at seemed to her，

12、just then， an impossibly difficult task. He went home without coming to her desk again， and she decided she would come early next morning and do it before anyone else arrived。 Mrs Buss on her way out, asked, “Have you got any certificates？” Martha said no。 She had learned to type at home。 Mrs Buss s

13、aid nothing, but merely nodded absentmindedly， for her eyes were on the elegant Mrs Jasper Cohen. Martha could barely see where she was going as she left the office。 What she said to herself was， “I wont spend the rest of my life typing this stupid jargon”. She then went into the building of the Zam

14、besiNews。 She was going to see if Mr Spur， an old journalist whom she had known as a child， could offer her any kind of position. She was in the building about half an hour, and when she came out， her face was hot with embarrassment. It had been so painful she could not bear to remember what had hap

15、pened. What she must remember was that she had no qualifications at all。1。 Why did Martha find her first day at the office difficult?A。 She was too nervous to think。B. Mr Cohen was not easy to please.C. The task given to her was very difficult.D. She was not used to working under pressure.2. By the

16、end of the day, which of the following was true of Martha?A。 She had decided to work overtime。B. She hadnt finished her typing work。C。 She hadnt thought she would be blamed.D. She knew Mr Cohen was disappointed in her。3. What might be Mrs Busss attitude towards Martha?A。 She seemed eager to help her

17、。B. She seemed uninterested in her.C。 She seemed to have taken a dislike to her。D。 She seemed concerned about her lack of qualifications。【答案】1。 A 2. B 3。 B【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了Martha在办公室一天的工作经历。她很紧张，老是做不好事情，当天也没能完成Max Cohen给她的工作，Buss夫人也对她提不起兴趣，她感到很羞愧和痛苦。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中Then Mr Max Cohen brought her

18、a document to copy。 She was so anxious she had to start afresh three times。 And when he came to fetch it, all that had been achieved were the words “Memorandum of an Agreement of Sale” typed across the top of the sheet. She shrank under his impatient assurance that it did not matter in the least, an

19、d she must take her time。 Her fingers were heavy and trembling， and her head was thick. To type two pages of his small neat writing into something clean and pleasant to look at seemed to her， just then， an impossibly difficult task.可知然后Max Cohen先生给她拿了一份文件让她复印。她非常着急，不得不重新开始了三次。而当他来取时，只见那张纸的上方打着“销售协议备

20、忘录”的字样。她在他的不耐烦之下畏缩了一下，确信这根本无关紧要，她必须慢慢来.她的手指沉重而颤抖，头也昏昏沉沉的.要把他两页工整的小字打成干净悦目的东西，对她来说,就在那时，似乎是一件不可能完成的艰巨任务。由此可推知，Martha觉得她在办公室第一天上班很困难，因为她紧张得无法思考。故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中He went home without coming to her desk again, and she decided she would come early next morning and do it before anyone else arrived。可知

21、他回到家,没有再到她的办公桌前。她决定明天一大早就来，在其他人来之前，把工作做完。由此可知,在一天结束的时候，Martha还没有完成她的打字工作。B选项正确。故选B.【3题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中Mrs Buss said nothing, but merely nodded absentmindedly， for her eyes were on the elegant Mrs Jasper Cohen.可知Buss太太什么也没说，只是心不在焉地点了点头，因为她的目光正落在优雅的Jasper Cohen太太身上。由此可推知，Buss夫人对Martha似乎不感兴趣。故选B。BA lot

22、of us lose lifes tough situations by mounting a frontal attack when a touch of humor might well enable us to chalk up a win。 Consider the case of a young friend of mine， Sam， who hit a traffic jam on the way to work. Although there was a good reason for Sams constant latenessserious illness at home，

23、 he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldnt work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down with a dismissal speech prepared. He was。 Sam entered the office at 9:35。 The place was as quiet as a locker room。 Sams boss approached him。 Suddenly， Sam reached out his hand。 “How

24、 do you do！” he said. “I m Sam Maynard。 Im applying for a job which I understand became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm？ The room exploded in laughter. The boss smiled and walked back to his office。 Sam Maynard saved his job with the only tool that could win a laugh。

25、Here is another example. An English hostess was giving a formal dinner for eight distinguished guests。 She had asked her son to serve a large roast turkey。 The boy only succeeded in dropping the bird onto the dining-room floor。 Moving only her head, the hostess smiled at her son, “No harm， Daniel,”

26、she said， “just pick it up and take it back to the kitchen, she said clearly so he would think about what she was saying and bring in the other one. Some humorous words changed the dinner from a red-faced embarrassment to a ton of fun. Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected(忽视)means of

27、handling the difficult situations in our lives。 It can be used for making up differences， saying sorry, saying no, criticizing， and getting the other person to do what you want without his losing face。 Also， many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tole

28、rance than people are in any other places。 Of course, humor is often more than a laughing matter。 In its potent guises（有效的伪装)， it has a Trojanhorse(特洛伊木马)nature: no one goes on guard against a laugh; we let it in because it looks like a little wooden toy。 Once inside， however， it can turn a city to

29、reform, to rebellion（反抗), to resistance.4. What can the underlined words “chalk up in Paragraph 1 be replaced by?A. pay forB. respond toC。 think of recordingD。 succeed in getting5. How does the author explain the power of humor?A. By using examples。B. By making comparisons。C. By introducing study re

30、sults.D。 By setting clown general rules。6. What does the author mean by mentioning humors Trojanhorse nature?A。 It is but a toy。B. It catches us unaware.C。 We usually resist its effect。D。 We seldom really understand it.【答案】4。 D 5。 A 6. B【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过举例子来说明幽默在生活中解决一些问题时的重要性。【4题详解】短语猜测题。根据第二段中的“S

31、am Maynard saved his job with the only tool that could win a laugh。和第三段中的“Some humorous words changed the dinner from a redfaced embarrassment to a ton of fun。”可知，幽默使汤姆保住了工作没有被解雇，幽默使得男孩在把火鸡弄到地板上之后没有出现尴尬的局面，因此when引导的从句意为：此时幽默感的运用很可能使我们赢得胜利,这与主句的内容(在人生很多场激烈的争斗中，我们如果与人硬碰硬正面交锋的话，可能会败得一塌糊涂.）形成了对比。即句子中的“c

32、halk up”应该理解为“成功获得”。故选D。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The boss smiled and walked back to his office。 Sam Maynard saved his job with the only tool that could win a laugh。 Sam Maynard saved his job with the only tool that could win a laugh。和第三段中的“just pick it up and take it back to the kitchen， she said clearly

33、 so he would think about what she was saying and bring in the other one。 Some humorous words changed the dinner from a redfaced embarrassment to a ton of fun.”可知，老板笑着回到了办公室，汤姆的幽默感挽救了他，从而保住了工作;男孩把那只火鸡弄到了餐厅的地板上，女主人告诉他把它带回厨房，这样他就可以考虑一下她在说什么并带来另一只火鸡，这样避免了尴尬的出现。看得出幽默感在解决某些棘手的问题时是有作用的.即作者通过举例子来解释幽默的力量。故选A

34、。【6题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Of course， humor is often more than a laughing matter. In its potent guises(有效的伪装), it has a Trojanhorse(特洛伊木马）nature： no one goes on guard against a laugh； we let it in because it looks like a little wooden toy. Once inside, however, it can turn a city to reform, to rebellion（反

35、抗）, to resistance。”可知,当然，幽默通常不只是让人笑出来。在其有效的伪装下，它具有特洛伊木马的效应:没有人对于笑会时刻保持警惕。我们让它进入城市,因为它看起来像个木制玩具而已。然而，一旦进入城市内部,它可以使城市变革，叛乱，反抗。由此可知，作者提到特洛伊木马效应是为了说明幽默感让人们开怀大笑从而使人们失去戒备心理,这就像特洛伊木马一样，人们没有关注内在实质的东西.即它使人们失去对某些问题的关注意识。故选B。COn April 12th， two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia， and

36、sat down to wait for their friend.Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave。When the two men refused, the employee called the police， and in minutes, they were arrested。It was not until later that day that they were let go。The video of this incident posted on Twitter went

37、 viral。People across the US were outraged。Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today。This incident is just one example of implicit bias（内隐偏见)， something that is a part of human nature。Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a differ

38、ent race.Starting from a young age， these feelings develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences.Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to

39、our society.There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago.Implicit bias affects the justice system， our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken

40、 seriously， and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities.Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an antibias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks st

41、ores will be closed on that day。However， critics and experts have said that such training is done ”for show” rather than to promote change.To address this issue， many experts agree that what the world needs is a longterm program that targets the root cause。It also starts with promoting diversity in

42、children from an early age when they have friends and playmates from different races and cultures.7。 What does the underlined word outraged in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A。 Very angry.B。 Quite curious.C。 Very delighted。D。 Quite puzzled。8。 What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The nature of imp

43、licit bias。B. The examples of implicit bias.C. The basic concepts of implicit bias。D. The negative effects of implicit bias.9。 What might experts think of the antibias training meeting？A。 It will be a shame for StarbucksB. lt will be a meaningless practice。C. It will raise the polices reputation.D。

44、lt will raise public awareness of anti-bias.10。 What might many experts agree with?A。 Starbucks should be closed。B. Implicit bias should be ignored.C. Children should be taught to avoid implicit bias。D. Implicit bias should be dealt with by the policemen。【答案】7. A 8。 D 9。 B 10。 C【解析】本文是一篇议论文，文章讲述了两个男

45、人在星巴克里等人的时候没有消费而被星巴克报警赶走，由此因此文章讨论的话题：内隐偏见。文章对此现象做了详细介绍并列举了具体事例。【7题详解】猜测词意题。根据第五段第一句“Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men， and Starbucks will be holding an antibias training meeting on May 29th.可知星巴克的CEO和警察都向二人道歉，而且星巴克将开展反对歧视的培训会议.说明他们的这种行为让大众很愤慨，在巨大的压力之下

46、他们才做出了回应.该词意为“very angry，所以选择A项。【8题详解】段落大意题。根据本段中前两句“Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society. There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers”可知本段主要介绍内隐偏见对人们日常行为的影响,并举例做了说明。所以D项正确.【9题详解】细节理解题.根据第五段最

47、后一句“However, critics and experts have said that such training is done for show rather than to promote change”可知批评家和专家都认为星巴克的这种培训是做秀，是一种没有意义的做法,而不是真正的要做出改变。故B项正确。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一句“It also starts with promoting diversity in children from an early age when they have friends and playmates from differe

48、nt races and cultures。”可知专家认为要从小开始教育孩子要接受多样化，不要有歧视和偏见。故C项正确。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。My husband and I had tried for many years to have children， but it just never happened。 So we applied to be foster parents（养父母）。 We decided we should start with an older child fo

49、r a number of reasons。 Since we both worked， child care might be a problem.
