12、hroughout the campaign,one of Trumps main challenges was to persuade voters that he has the attitude,knowledge and judgment to be president.In the end,he was able to attract more than enough voters to his side.Hillary Clinton admitted the election to Trump in a phone call at around 2:30 am.“Hillary

13、has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time,”Trump told his supporters during his victory speech.“We owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.”Hillary Clinton delivered her speech later in the day.“We must accept this result and then look to the future,” she

14、 told her disappointed supporters.“Donald Trump is going to be our president.We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.”Trumps rise to the presidency comes after a long career as a real estate developer.He built skyscrapers, resorts and golf courses.He also risked other businesses,introducing T

15、rump Steaks,Trump Natural Spring Water,and an airline called Trump Shuttle.In 2004,he became a TV star with the reality show The Apprentice.Now Trump and his team will have to face many difficult things.Theyll have to work to bring the country together after a divisive campaign that upset millions o

16、f Americans. Throughout the country,millions of Americans are out of work and struggling to make ends meet.The new president must also address international issues.They include the war on terrorism and the refugee crisis.Still,Trump says he sees a bright future ahead.“Every single American will have

17、 the opportunity to realize his or her fullest potential,” he told his supporters.1、What should many experts think of Trumps victory?AIt is expected. BIt is satisfying.CIt is annoying.

19、umps ideas about his future work.DThe decisions Trump will have to make.22（8分）In the story of “The crow and the Pitcher” from Aesops Fables, a thisty crow (烏鴉)drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.Now scientists have evidence to back up that sto

20、ry. Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement (移位) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, presented six cr

21、ows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they

22、 could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into narrow tube wo

23、uld lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didnt realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.Previous studies showed that

24、 chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.1、How did the crows get the snack in Sarahs experiment?ABy breaking the tube.BBy dropping

25、in erasers.CBy standing on the wood.DBy removing the wood.2、What does the author mean by “the birds handled awkwardly” in paragraph 4?AThey were unable to tell different shapes.BThey dropped objects only into narrow tubes.CThey were not aware of the snack at first sight.DThey mostly avoided the easi

27、pletely.CChimps and children are much smarter than crows.DThe story of “The crow and the Pitcher” lacks evidence.23（8分）In a world full of Kates and Sarahs, you might think itd be nice to have a unique name to help me stand out in a crowd.Being named Stacia (pronounced stay-sha) is not so lucky to me

28、. I11 get the occasional. “Your name is so pretty after introducing myself, but eventually my name causes me more frustration than happiness. For example, Microsoft Word always tries to tell me my name isnt a real word. I was never able to buy a cheesy Mickey Mouse keychain from Disneyland as a kid

29、(in other words, I didnt have a childhood). I couldnt even pronounce my own name correctly until I was five.I once had a professor who pronounced my name differently each class. After a while I stopped correcting him, and thats been my reaction to strangers ever since. In other cages, Id rather tell

30、 the cashier my name is Staci and save both of us, as well as the people standing behind me in line, valuable time.Meeting new people gives me anxiety, and Ive realized its easier just to lie about my name altogether in certain cases. Actually I didso many times that Brittany is now my chosen “going

31、 out name. It may have caused some confusion with my friends at first, who would let out a small laugh or confused look, but Ive trained them to keep a straight face whenever I came up with this fake(假的)nameNow going out on weekends means I get to have a shift of identity.Frustrations aside, being t

32、he owner of a unique name has made me appreciate the little things in life. Someone pronouncing or spelling my name correctly on the first try brings me more joy than it probably should. I also love when I meet another Stacia and we get to bond over our shared struggles.To any other Stacias reading

33、thisI feel you, girl. P.S. I apologize to any real Brittanys out there. Thanks for letting me borrow your name !1、36How does the author often feel about her name?AAnnoyedBHappyCDisappointedDProud2、38Why does the author use a fake name?ATo enjoy a different identityBTo stand out in a crowdCTo save ti

34、me and troubleDTo make a fool of herself3、40Whats the reaction of her friends to “Brittany finally?AThey are laughing at herBThey are used to itCThey are strongly against herDThey are confused about it4、42How does the author sound when telling the story?AGuiltyBCautiousCCuriousDHumorous24（8分） One of

35、 the deepest teachings of Confucius may have valued personal exemplification above clearly expressed rules of behavior. His moral teachings emphasized self-cultivation(培養(yǎng)), imitation: of moral exemplars, and the attainment of skilled judgment rather than knowledge of rules. His teachings rarely rely

36、 on reasoned argument, and moral ideals and methods are conveyed indirectly. His teachings require examination and context to be understood. A good example is found in this famous anecdote:廄焚。子退朝，曰:“傷人乎？”不問馬。When the stables were burnt down, on returning from court Confucius said, “Was anyone hurt?

37、” He did not ask about the horses.X.11 (tr. Waley), 10-13(tr. Legge), or X-17(tr. Lau)By not asking about the horses, Confucius demonstrates that the sage(圣人)values human beings over property, but not directly; readers are led to reflect on whether their response would follow Confuciuss and to pursu

38、e self-improvement if it would not have. Confucius, as an exemplar of human excellence, serves not as an all-powerful deity(神人) or a universally true set of abstract principles, but rather the best model for others. For these reasons, according to many commentators, Confuciuss teachings may be consi

39、dered a Chinese example of humanism.One of his teachings was a variant(變體) of the Golden Rule, sometimes called the “Silver Rule” owing to its negative form:己所不欲，勿施於人?！癢hat you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.”子貢問曰:“有一言而可以終身行之者乎?”子曰:其恕乎！己所不欲、勿施於人?！盳i Gong a disciple asked: “Is there an

40、y one word that could guide a person throughout life?”The Master replied: “How about reciprocity! Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself. ”Analects XV.24, tr. David HintonOften overlooked in Confucian morals are the virtues to the self: sincerity and the cultivation of knowled

41、ge. Virtuous action towards others begins with virtuous and sincere thought, which begins with knowledge. A virtuous nature without knowledge is likely to be influenced by corruption, and virtuous action without sincerity is not true righteousness(正義). Cultivating knowledge and sincerity is also imp

42、ortant for ones own sake; the superior person loves learning for the sake of learning and righteousness for the sake of righteousness.1、The horse example in the first paragraph is to show that Confucius _.Apaid much attention to moral teachingsBmeant others to understand his teachings by self-reflec

43、tionCdirectly demonstrated his emphasis on human beingsDnever inhumanly forced others to do what he didnt like to do2、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?AThe importance of the virtues to the self.BHow to define the virtues to the self.CThe relationship between sincerity and knowledge.DWh

44、y the virtues of the self are often overlooked.3、Which of the following principles of Confucius is mentioned in this passage?AExample is better than teaching.BHe who practices virtues will have neighbors and friends.CKeep what you say and carry out what you do.DBy nature, men are nearly alike; by pr

45、actice, they get to be wild apart.25（10分）With the average American going through more than 700 pounds of paper per year, many firms are looking for ways to discourage their employees from over-using the office printer.Toshiba American Business Solutions has come up with an alternative idea. It has i

46、ntroduced the e-STUDIO4508LP, a printer that gives users the option to print with erasable toner (墨粉)一 allowing a single piece of paper to be reused several times.To reuse a piece of paper, the printer basically uses the same process as a normal printer, but in reverse (反過來），said Bill Melo, chief ma

47、rketing executive for Toshiba America Business Solutions. Paper printed with the erasable toner is fed back into the printer, superheated, and the toner gets removed and put in a discard (丟棄）tank.There are a couple of catches. All of the printouts using the erasable toner have to be in blue ink, whi

48、ch is the only color in which erasable toner is now available. And the company said that people may want to stop reusing the printouts after five times through the eraser because small traces of erased text will build up over time.The $15,420 printer is aimed at offices and schools，where there are o

49、ften large numbers of printouts that outlive their usefulness quickly. With the erasable toner, its possible to load any short-lived handouts back onto the printer to be erased and then reused.Still, convincing customers to commit to erasable toner isnt always easy. Melo said not all its customers w

50、ere happy about only having the erasable option.The model, Melo said, should better serve the needs of those who want to be environmentally conscious but also may need something more permanent on occasion.1、Whats special about Toshibas printer?AIts low-priced. BIts fashionable.CIts lightweight. DIts

51、 eco-friendly.2、Whats the key to making the printer work?AA discard tank. BLight colored ink.CSpecial writing paper. DA high enough temperature.3、What does the underlined word “catches” in Paragraph 4 mean?ATheories. BProblems.CDifferences. DCharacteristics.4、How did the public respond to the printe

52、r?AThey asked for more patterns.BSome expressed dissatisfaction.CSome worried about its recycling.DThey considered it hard to operate.第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分）完形填空（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）At the age of 13, I was angry and rebellious(叛逆的)，with litt
