　　Earlier this year,my family experienced an unexpected tragedy.The kind of tragedy which knocks you out of yourself and turns your whole world upside down.A tragedy which also caused me to be out of work for three months.It was completely unforeseen and I had no time to put together an out of office plan.

　　I’ve worked at previous companies where this kind of tragedy would have been handled professionally;I would have been given the legally-required money and asked to leave.But at SAS Institute(an American developer of analytics software),my team stepped in and filled in with no questions or hesitations.My work was not left undone.My clients(客户) were patient when those picking up the pieces of projects unrelated to them needed some time to get familiar with the work.My management and colleagues checked on my family regularly.At last,my manager,my entire team and Human Resources Department helped me back to work at my own pace.They even changed my workspace over a weekend to better suit my personal needs before I even came back to work.

　　You see,SAS creates a family.The special attention to employee happiness and work/life balance makes that family possible.The flexible work environment enables most employees to create a schedule that best suits their personal needs—whether it’s attending a school play or taking an aging parent to the doctor.The Work/Life Office has a wealth of resources for college planning,anger management,sorrow,etc.But,as you can see,it doesn’t stop there.Most employees believe that SAS is their family.We rely on each other.We help each other succeed.We celebrate team successes.We hang out after work.Our kids play together.We laugh together and cry together. 

　　Sure,we have a lot of convenience benefits at SAS.But,what really makes a difference to me is the SAS culture that the outside world doesn’t always see:The balance.The companionship.The management support.The family it allows me to have.

　　I’m so eager for others to see the side of SAS that I see every day.

　　【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。作者是一名SAS的员工,在他遇到困难时,公司的“家”文化让他受益匪浅。

　　B

　　It’s wonderful to go to another country,complete a volunteer project and feel that you really have a positive influence.But how can you become an international volunteer?

　　* Plan practically.Contact the organization a few months before leaving and find out if there are materials which are rare and hard to attain for the project.What you often consider plentiful here,such as nails or hammers,is in great need in other parts of the world.

　　* Do the project together,not on your own.You are a guest in the community.The most successful result is not that you build something and walk away,but that you and the community build something as a team.Share skills and build together.

　　* Be flexible.Not everything is going to happen as planned.Often the country doesn’t have the right tools,manpower,transportation or funds to get all the needed work done.In a word,it lacks infrastructure(基础设施).

　　* Connect with the people in the community.Often you will have downtime outside of the range of the project.Rather than retreat to the group with whom you traveled,be sure to spend time with the people of the community.Listen to the things about their lives.If you can’t speak the language,smiles do wonders.And you will be surprised—you will find a way to communicate!

　　Volunteering is a special and life-changing experience for everyone involved.Be prepared that the person who may be changed most is you.It’s a joyful experience which will encourage you to view yourself,your neighbors and your world quite differently.

　　A.build something and walk away

　　B.make good preparations in advance

　　C.avoid involving locals in activities

　　D.depend on yourself to solve problems

　　答案:B

　　解析:细节理解题。文章第二段说,在出发前的几个月联系好志愿服务机构,并了解志愿服务项目缺少的材料,因此选B项,表示事先做好准备。

　　6.According to the author,volunteering will 　. 

　　A.reduce challenges in the world

　　B.determine the future of a volunteer

　　C.change a person’s opinion of the world

　　D.benefit volunteers most in their learning

　　答案:C

　　解析:细节理解题。由文章最后一段中的“Volunteering is a special and life-changing experience for everyone involved.”及“...encourage you to view yourself,your neighbors you’re your world quite differently.” 可知应选C项,改变一个人的世界观。

　　7.What is this passage mainly about?

　　B.Where volunteers are needed most in the world.

　　C.Why volunteering is popular with young people.

　　D.How volunteers develop a relationship with local people.

　　答案:A

　　解析:主旨大意题。全文围绕如何才能成为一名国际志愿者展开叙述,并阐述了志愿者工作的意义,因此本文的主题是A项,当一名志愿者需要做的准备工作。

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　A small mammal lives in the rocky cliffs(峭壁) of Tian Shan,a mountain range in northwest China.But scientists don’t know much about this tiny creature known as the Ili pika(伊犁鼠兔).1. 

　　In fact,it had been more than 20 years since anyone had seen an Ili pika.But Weidong Li,who first discovered the animal,and a team of volunteers combed the mountains looking for the animals.2.

　　“They found it hiding behind a rock,and they realized they had found the pika,”Tatsuya Shin,a Chinese naturalist said.

　　Li was studying diseases in a mountainous region of northwest China when he first discovered the 8-inch mammal in 1983.3.　 In 1985,he found two more pikas.When researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences took a closer look at Li’s discovery,they confirmed that it was indeed a new species. 

　　In the early 1990s,scientists estimated(估计) that there were about 2,000 Ili pikas running across mountain cliffs in China.Now there are probably fewer than 1,000.Li thinks that the Ili pika population has decreased by nearly 70 percent since he saw the first one in 1983.

　　“This tiny species could be extinct anytime,”Li said.“4.　” 

　　Big changes to the Ili pika habitat are probably contributing to the pikas’ lower population.In addition,Ili pikas don’t reproduce often,and other animals are eating grass where they live.Changes in local temperatures have driven Ili pikas to higher elevations(海拔) in the mountains.

　　Li and others are encouraging wildlife groups to help protect this creature.Li searches full-time for Ili pikas.5.　 Li is also working to create a wildlife reserve to help protect Ili pikas. 

　　A.It became endangered soon.

　　B.They finally spotted one last summer.

　　C.Lots of animals were discovered in the mountains.

　　D.Li didn’t know what it was,and neither did the locals.

　　E.Only three dozen of them have ever been seen by people.

　　F.They don’t exist in the sites where they used to be anymore.

　　G.He continues to study the animals and tries to find ways to help them.

　　答案与解析:

　　【语篇导读】本文是说明文。伊犁鼠兔濒临灭绝。

　　1.E　解析:E项是上文“But scientists don’t know much about this tiny creature...”的原因,并与下文的“In fact,it had been more than 20 years since anyone had seen an Ili pika.”相呼应。

　　2.B　解析:B项与上文的“...combed the mountains looking for the animals.”及下文的“They found it...”相呼应。

　　3.D　解析:由下文的“When researchers...it was indeed a new species.”可推断,当Li于1983年首次发现这种动物时,他和当地人都不知道这是什么动物。

　　4.F　解析:F项与上文的“This tiny species could be extinct anytime...”相呼应。

　　5.G　解析:G项与下文的“create a wildlife reserve to help protect Ili pikas”相呼应。

　　Ⅲ.书面表达

　　史上最严的禁烟令自2015年6月1日起在北京实施。所有的公共场所、工作场所的室内区域以及公共交通工具内全部禁止吸烟,幼儿园、中小学校、体育场和儿童医院的室外区域也禁止吸烟。违反禁令的烟民,最高罚款200元。

　　假设你是李华,你的美国笔友David就此事向你询问。请你给他写封回信,主要内容如下:

　　1.简要介绍相关情况;

　　2.谈谈你的感想。

　　注意:1.词数100左右;

　　2.开头和结尾已给出,但不计入总词数。

　　Dear David,

　　I’m glad to receive your letter.As you know,

　　Best wishes,

　　参考范文:

　　Dear David, 

　　I’m glad to receive your letter.As you know,a new smoking ban has taken effect in Beijing since June 1,2015.The ban,the toughest to date,demands all indoor public places,working places and public transport be free of smoking.Smoking in kindergartens,primary and middle schools,stadiums and children’s hospitals is not allowed too. 

　　The law will offer the public a better place to live and work,which will result in improving their health.However,in my opinion,a maximum fine of 200 yuan isn’t enough to stop people from smoking.Quitting smoking is hard for smokers,so there’s still a long way to go before our no smoking goal can be achieved.

　　Best wishes, 

　　Li Hua
