My mom gave me some wise advice: “Nothing beats a good bite that bites back.” She was talking about her 36 for bitter-tasting food like rhubarb (大黄).

Mom’s rhubarb plant is at the east of our 37 . Grandma moved it there from the farm. 38 I’ve always regarded it as an overgrown weed.

We kept the largest garden in the neighborhood. Each growing season, we 39 the plentiful rhubarb, tomatoes, beans and carrots with our neighbors and friends. More families took the rhubarb than any other fruit.

Nearly three years ago, while 40 Mom’s flower bed, I finally asked if I could dig out her rhubarb. 41 , she didn’t bake with it anymore. “Absolutely not,” Mom said. Clearly I hadn’t 42 her devotion to it.

As I continued weeding, I thought about how rhubarb is one of the 43 plants to appear in early spring. It breaks through the snowy, icy ground before buds (芽) form on trees. How can anyone fail to 44 such a passionate desire?

When those first sprouts (嫩芽) 45 , I’d find Mom outdoors, examining them like a 46 counting a newborn’s fingers and toes. She would estimate about how long it’d be until she could make her rhubarb 47 .

But when I was a kid and she gave me that pie, it made me 48 . In my teens, it made me complain. 49 ice cream did not sweeten the deal for my young taste buds. Rhubarb was something to be 50 at all costs.

Then, last summer, I searched for Mom’s 51 . I found the one for her rhubarb pie. So I 52 to give it a try. A few tries later, I 53 rhubarb pie to family and guests. It tasted incredible.

Since then I’ve come to two 54 about rhubarb. First, you can take rhubarb out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the rhubarb. And second, rhubarb’s taste may be lost on children, but adults can 55 it. Like my wise mother, I now understand that “Nothing beats a good bite that bites back.”

When Taking an Uber — Should You Tip or Not?

Taking an Uber car may no longer be a direct driver-passenger and guilt-free experience. The ride-sharing experience is about to get awkward.

With the wide application of the Internet, Uber, a new approach to your destination instead of taking an ordinary taxi, has become more popular recently. However, benefits won’t come without its fair share of drawbacks.

Uber drivers are a part of the so-called sharing economy: they use their own vehicles, receive customer reviews via the app’s five -star rating system and make their own hours. Unlike other services, Uber claimed that drivers all over the country could clearly alert customers that tipping is not included. Those drivers that expect to be tipped can make their wishes known. But the company is holding to its official no-tip-required line, according to its website. “Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file—there’s no need to tip.” Although drivers value their independence-the freedom to push a button rather than punch a clock, lack of a clear policy, however, leaves Uber drivers in a vulnerable (脆弱的) position: if they ask a customer for a tip or put up a sign, that customer could give the driver a low star-rating, and the driver could finally be deactivated from the app.

But has the company done a good job working with customers? Some observers say that this new grey area for tipping will create awkwardness about whether they should tip or not-something most Uber customers have not bad to deal with until now. Uber did not respond to customers’ comment, just leaving their rating in the air (ignoring it).

Providing an option to lip on an app sends a clear message to customers lo reach into their pockets. Nearly 30% people would be more likely to leave a tip if they were presented with a “no tip” button, according to Guinn’s 2015 survey of roughly 500 people. When people are presented with three tip choices—20%, 25% or 30%—they’re more likely to choose the middle option even if it’s more than the traditional 20%, according to a separate 2014 analysis of 13 million New York City taxi rides.

If the service is twice as expensive during a rain storm or public transport delay, the customer has the right not to tip. However, if the driver is extra helpful or avoids traffic to reach your destination in a more timely manner, you could give an extra tip, says Uber, who will leave tipping options in the hands of the consumer rather than the app.

59. Compared with taxi drivers, Uber drivers .

A. enjoy more freedom and choices B. support the company’s practice

C. clock up the miles while driving D. receive customers reviews directly

60. The underlined word “deactivated” in Paragraph 4 probably means .

A. removed B. degraded C. tracked D. Charged

61. From the survey we can conclude most customers .

A. would probably tip if there is an option

B. usually do as the “no tip” sign suggests

C. tip because of Uber drivers’ good service

D. are disappointed to reach into their pockets

62. What causes the awkwardness between Uber drivers and their customers?

A. Customers take advantage of the new grey area for tipping.

B. There is no specific policy from the Uber to follow.

C. It’s up to customers to decide the drivers’ earnings.

D. Customers tend to pay least among the 3 choices.

C

In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image (自我形象).

I am a fashionista too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels.

When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.

What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness.

Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily integrated into a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.

Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue (追求) happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers (同龄人). People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.

It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are.

Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.

63. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?

A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.

B. The author sees no point in spending money on material things.

C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.

D. The author finds it natural for fashionistas to follow fashion trends.

64. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that .

A. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly

B. people dislike those who love luxuries

C. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries

D. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness

65. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself?

A. Be selective about designer labels.

B. Create your own personal, unique style.

C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable.

D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.

66. The main purpose of the article is to .

A. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries

B. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life

C. tell how to express yourself through appearances

D. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness

D

Pollution’s disastrous effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years, leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency (效率), less reliance on fossil (化石的) fuels and a reduction in air and water pollution. Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.

The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. In the United States, building and development account for 39 percent of the country’s total energy use, 12 percent of total water consumption, 68 percent of total electricity consumption and 38 percent of carbon dioxide emissions (排放), according to the Environment Protection Agency.

Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste and are healthier to live, work and go to school in than standard buildings. Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle — construction, restoration, operation, maintenance (维护) and demolition (拆毁) — than those who construct more regular buildings.

The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams and the conservation of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live there.

The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature conservation in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.

Careful site selection is important to minimize (最小化) human impact on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes (微风) and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build small.

Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost. These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.

Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation, recycling and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, hydropower (水能) and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.

67. What is the text mainly about?

A. The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.

B. The process of building green buildings.

C. The benefits and features of green buildings.

D. Green buildings’ effects on the environment.

68. According to the text, green buildings refer to the buildings that .

A. produce no waste B. only use clean energy

C. are made of recycled materials D. use energy and resources more efficiently

69. Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?

A. They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heat and electricity.

B. Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.

C. The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.

D. They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.

70. Green roofs are used because .

A. they fit the surrounding environment well

B. they are cheaper than other kinds of roofs

C. they can keep natural water for use in everyday life

D. they can help to control the temperature in the building well

College helps students dream of more than a salary

From the earliest days of our country, we have seen education as the foundation for democracy and citizenship. Yet high school students and families are increasingly questioning its value. Is investing in a college or university education still worth it? The answer is definitely “Yes”.

From a financial point of view, a college education surely pays off. Students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not, well over a million dollars over a lifetime. Completing college makes an even greater difference to the earning power of young women. A 25-34 year-old female with a bachelor’s degree can expect to make 70% more than if she had only completed her high school diploma. But what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure?

College is a passport to different places, different times, and different ways of thinking — from learning new languages to considering the arc of human history to diving deep into the building blocks of matter. It gives students a chance to understand themselves differently, seeing how their lives are both like and unlike those who inhabited other eras and other lands.

College introduces students to people they’ve never met before? One of the most important ways in which students learn at college is by interacting with people who are different from themselves. I recall one student who was admitted to Harvard but wasn’t sure he would fit in at a school in the Northeast. However, one night he found himself debating the characteristics that define a genuine hero with other admitted students from around the world. Not everyone agreed, but the differences were what made the conversation exciting, and he realized how much he could learn at a place full of engaging people with a wide range of viewpoints.

College teaches students the virtue of slowing down?No one denies the value of speed, connectivity and the virtual world in an economy that thrives on all three. But “thinking” is a word that is too often forgotten. College teaches students to slow down, to change information into insight and knowing into understanding. It nurtures critical thinking. The result is that students grow in knowledge and in wisdom for a lifetime.

To conclude, investing in a college or university education is well worth it. College opens opportunities reflected in earning and employment statistics. But more importantly, in college students have acquired a new way of transforming the world, through the power of learning, analyzing, changing to adapt to what they have come to understand.

第五部分 书面表达(满分25分)

请阅读下列材料，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

材料1：各国对迟到时间容忍度的情况调查(单位：分钟)

Tolerance toward one’s lateness

材料2:

There are few habits as annoying as someone making us wait. However, some punctually- challenged people have no intention of offending anyone. They still want to keep friends, family and bosses happy. They are often painfully aware and ashamed of the damage their lateness could do to their relationships, reputations, careers and finances.

Johnson, a doctor in New York, says his reputation for being unpunctual can sometimes be caused by a misunderstanding of opinion. “A friend will ask me to come over, and he’ll say ‘come anytime from seven.’ But if I do turn up at eight or later, he will be annoyed.”

Joanna, a teacher in London, for whom the most distressing (令人苦恼的) thing is writing school reports, never makes the deadline for herself. “I always spend weeks carefully considering everything about the reports,” she says, “just for fear that any error arises.”

【写作内容】

1.用约30个单词为以上材料撰写概要;

2.用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：

(1)迟到带来的不良影响(至少两点);

(2)给Johnson和Joanna提出你的建议，至少两条。

书面表达

Possible version:

Different countries adopt different tolerance towards one’s lateness. Actually, some people are late not deliberately but because they misunderstand others’ opinions or pay too much attention to details.

As we all know, frequent lateness will have negative effects on one’s daily life. On the one hand, unpunctual people tend to leave a bad impression on those who have made the appointment with them. Others usually regard being punctual as a sign of keeping the promise. On the other hand, lateness sometimes brings about much trouble in solving urgent problems.

As for those who are unintentionally late, like Johnson and Joanna, I have two suggestions as follows. First, whenever you make appointments with others, make sure you have understood all the details and try to get there a few minutes before the appointed time. Second, make good preparations for the appointments but never become too particular about every detail.
