ld’s Best Restaurant

The Black Swan, a rural pub in England

has been named “the world’s best restaurant” by TripAdvisor. After

scoring

up

positive

feedback,

the

review

website

31

the

pub

over

fine

dining

establishments

from

New

York to Paris in its

32

Travelers' Choice awards.

So what’s it got going for it?

Firstly,

this

isn’t

some

backwater

pub

enjoying

in

insignificance.

Tommy

Banks,

a(n)

33

young cook, is already a TV regular in the UK and has had a Michelin star to his name since becoming

the youngest receiver ever in 2013 at the age of 24. Secondly, it's not really a pub anymore. Like many rural UK

pubs,

the Black Swan

had been

in

34

for

many

years

before

2006,

when Banks'

family

took

over.

After

their attempts to run it as a pub struggled, they decided to make it a dining

35

.

It now operates as both restaurant and fashionable

36

, offering food-and-stay packages that help draw

customers to its truly

37

location. It's usually booked up well in advance with

coming from near

and far. During CNN's visit, neighboring tables included a couple on an overnight break from their kids. Another

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions:

For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill

in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Could Buying Paintings Make You Rich?

Is investing in paintings a good way to get rich fast? And how should you invest in art?

“With

extreme

41

”

is

the

advice

of

Patrick

Connolly,

a

financial

adviser.

“We

don’t

42

our customers to invest in art because the downsides are greater than the upsides. It doesn't produce

income or earnings. What you

43

is exclusively based on supply and demand, and there are big movements

upwards or downwards if there are changes in the economic environment,” he said.

To

invest

in

art

as

a

true

investment,

you

need

a

starting

fund

of

at

least

$$5,000.

But

it’s

not

just

about

having

enough

44

to

buy

the

painting

in

the

first

place.

Expensive

works

of

art

are

often

stored

in

protective boxes complete with detectors to monitor humidity and temperature levels, and to protect them from

sun

damage

or

other

45

such

as

a

spilled

cup

of

coffee.

And

if

you

do

put

it

on

your

wall,

then

your

insurance costs are likely to be high. If word gets out that you have expensive art hanging on your wall, then

you're likely to be a

46

for thieves.

Art is also not a regulated investment so when things go wrong

–

for example, an artwork turns out to be a

fraud

（赝品）

–

then investors cannot fall back on

47

for any repayment.

高三英语试卷

第

页

Of course given the current environment of low interest rates, that's still a(n)

48

return than many

savings accounts will give you. As art has no association to the stock market, it means paintings can

in

value even when the market crashes, making it a good option for investment

50

.

It is reported that after a decrease in the global art market throughout 2016,

in

art.

There

are

a

growing

number

of

art

fairs

and

online

marketplaces

aimed

at

buyers

with

a

more

52

budget.

Most

art

industry experts suggest that you buy a piece of art because you like it, not because you want to get rich. The

most

53

approach is probably to buy something you like and can

54

and, be prepared to keep it just

for your own pleasure. If it goes up in value that should be just a(n)

55

benefit.

( A )

Post-

00s

is

a

documentary

about

growing

up.

It

covers

almost

every

aspect

of

millennials’

experiences

on

their path toward adolescence

–

their struggles with schoolwork, their relationship with peers, their confusion if a

younger brother or sister is born into the family, and their growing desire to keep a distance from their parents. But

this five-episode series was different from any other TV program with a similar theme.

Post-

00s was filmed over a period of 10 years, during which the show’s makers followed a group of kids

from when they were infants

through to when they became teenagers. In other words, the show’s “characters”

grow older for real, and their stories are all real.

“Coming

-of-

age” stories, as they’re known, have a special appeal. They satisfy our curiosity of looking at

someone else’s life, and we become more and more attached to the characters as if we tru

ly know them. And

while we enjoy the truthfulness of the stories because nothing is set in advance, we also can’t help but feel the

cruelty of reality. After all, there’s no re

-writing of the

script

（剧本）

and there’s no turning back –

this is real life.

This realness can also be seen in Boyhood, a 2014 film that won the Silver Bear award for best director at

the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. During a period of 12 years, the film follows the life of Mason Jr

–

played by US actor Ellar Coltrane

–

from when he was 6 to when he finished high school.

One of Boyhood’s appeals comes from its “ordinariness”. Mason Jr isn’t some child genius... He is a quietly

高三英语试卷

第

页

spoken, fairly typical American boy, growing up in the Texas suburbs. He likes riding his bike and playing video

games.

While coming-of-age stories may look ordinary on the outside, they often allow us to look underneath the

surface and see something extraordinary

–

the power of life itself.

56. In the documentary, we see post-

00’s growing experie

nce

EXCEPT

__________.

A. how they deal with their studies

B. how they help look after brothers or sisters

C. how they get along with people of their age

D. how much they long to be independent of their parents

Australians have long been known for having a relaxed and casual attitude to life. According to Dr Tanya

King,

senior

lecturer

from

Victoria’s

Deakin

University,

“It’s

Australians’

egalitarianism,

sense

of

humor

and

informal language that are most commonly mentioned as examples of this attitude”.

②

Egalitari

anism

roots

in

the

way

that

the

nation

was

built.

In

Australia’s

founding

era

in

the

late

1700s,

criminal settlers were often cruelly treated and robbed of their basic human rights by governors. The criminal class,

who were mostly working-class Brits and Irish, was unable to seek civic positions that were reserved for immigrants

who

were

not

the

criminal,

with

the

latter

arguing

that

if

criminals

gained

equal

rights

it

would

be

‘rewarding

criminality’. Because of this, an egalitarian spirit was worn as a sy

mbol of honor by many criminal settlers. They

may not have had power, education or wealth, but they had a shared belief in equality.

③

The

informal

way

Australians

use

language

is

also

believed

to

root

in

criminal

times.

Philologist

Sidney

Baker once wrote

that

‘no other class would have a better talent for creating new terms

to fit in with

their new

conditions in life’. Cockney rhyming slang brought over by the British working class was abbreviated even further –

so ‘have a Captains Cook’ (have a look), became ‘ava captains’. This same practice was used to economize ordinary

clauses. Words like ‘good day’ became ‘g’day’, and barbecue was ‘barbie’.

④

The tough conditions of settler times also played a part in Australians’ dry, self

-criticizing and

sarcastic

（讽

刺的）

sense of humor. While in many countries it’s considered poor taste to find humor in difficult circumstances,

高三英语试卷

Australians tend to look at the lighter side. On one road trip, as I hit the state line and entered Victoria, I drove past

some blackened trees, the leftovers of a recent bushfire. A road sign warning drivers about wildlife was half-melted

and

bent,

but

the

shape

of

a

hopping

kangaroo

was

still

distinct.

Behind

the

figure,

someone

had

drawn

flames

making it look as though the animal’s tail was on

fire. I couldn’t help but laugh –

it was a brilliant reminder of the

country’s ‘nothing upsets us’ and anti

-authoritarian attitude.

⑤

And one thing you can’t help but notice when driving around Australia is the country’s plentiful amounts of

space.

This,

a

long

with

considerable

leisure

time

plus

favorable

climate,

all

contribute

to

Australians’

relaxed

attitude.

63.

The underlined word “egalitarianism” is

closest to __________ in meaning.

A. criminality

C. equality

B. cruelty

D. governmentalism

64. Which of the following is a feature of the way Australians use language?

A. They use more slangs than other people.

B. They give new meanings to existent words.

C. They favour shortened forms of expressions.

D. They coin terms in memory of criminal times.

65. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A. Kangaroos

’ living condition

B. Forest fires threaten Australian

s’

life to a great extent.

C. Potential danger is here and there on the roads in Victoria.

D. Australians

’

jokes may not be as careless as they seem on the surface.

A. how the late 1700s impacted Australia

B. why Australians enjoy casual life so much

C. what contributes to Australians’ relaxed lifestyle

D. how Australians present their attitude towards life

69

Wal-Mart

spokeswoman

Brooke

Buchanan

said

the

company

remains

neutral

on

the

idea

of

a

minimum

wage increase, but

“obviously it’s something that we look at closely,

as any other company would”. She said that

more than 99 percent of company associates are paid above the current minimum wage. It has been discussed

how increased income for low-

wage workers might translate into increased spending. So it’s reasonable to say

that a company like Wal-Mart could see a jump in sales if the minimum wage rose.

70

“That is assuming

that consumer behavior would be,

‘I

f they have more money,

they’ll spend more money,’

”

she said.

“That isn’t

always necessarily true. If we had a crystal ball, we could guess what consumer behavior would be in the future if

a minimum wage increase

goes through. But you just can’t.”

Are Open Offices Good for Us?

Four

years

ago,

Chris Nagele

did

what

many

other

technology

executives

have

done

before

–

moved

his

team into an open concept office. His staff had been entirely working from home, but he wanted everyone to be

together, to connect and cooperate more easily.

It quickly became clear, though, that Nagele had made a huge

mistake. Everyone was distracted and productivity suffered and nine employees were unhappy, not to mention

Nagele

himself.

About

three

years

after

moving

into

the

open

office,

Nagele

moved

the

company

into

a

10,000-square foot office where everyone now has their own space

—

complete with closing doors.

Numerous companies have held the open office

—

about 70% of US offices are open concept

—

and very

few have moved back into traditional spaces with offices and doors. But research that we’re

15% less productive,

we have huge trouble concentrating in open working spaces, has contributed to a growing criticism against open

offices.

Beside the cheaper cost, one main argument for the open workspace is that it increases teamwork. However,

it’s well documented that we rarely brainstorm brilliant ideas when we’re just shooting the breeze in a crowd.

Instead, as many of us know, we’re more likely to hear about the Christmas gift a colleague is buying for a family

member, or problems with your deskmate

’s spouse.

For jobs that require focus, like writing, advertising, financial planning and computer programming, some

feel that escaping to a quiet room is a sign of weakness.
