Ever since Donald Trump was elected the next president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under a microscope.
In China, the spotlight has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family.
She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she got where she is by herself.
There’s always going to be articles that say people born into wealthy families are better looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you.
Are you a loser if you were raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty that you sleep eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps five? If you just want to keep a stable nine-to-five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? How about if you don’t work out or eat healthy, does that mean you will not find your Mr. or Miss Right?
There is a tendency in media nowadays to encourage elitism(精英主义).They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should invest an enormous amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance enhancement, even plastic surgery. They encourage lifestyle makeovers: wine tasting classes and expensive trips overseas. They make you believe that if you do as they say, you can improve the quality of your life and join the elites (社会精英).
But what’s the downside of being ordinary? Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week unless you are a gym maniac(热衷者)? Do you need to take hundreds of selfies and Photoshop the selected ones to post on WeChat? Do you really need to break your neck and sacrifice to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to enter high society later?
Don’t let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to the life they want. Human beings should not be judged as a success or failure based on whether they are a part of the elite or not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people’s shadows? Choose your own life path and go for it.
32. Why does Ivanka become a hit online?
A. She lives such a dream life that a million girls would like to kill her.
B. She together with her family is put under careful investigation.
C. She is a virtual role model frequently seen among ordinary people.
D. She gets what she has through personal efforts despite decent origin.
33. Which of the following are considered as a life belonging to people of higher social rank?
①Polish and post carefully- selected selfies on WeChat;
②Break your neck to earn your first pot of gold;
③Spare no expense to improve physical appearance;
④Sign up for wine tasting classes and oversea trips;
A. ①④ B. ②④ C.②③ D. ③④
34. It can be inferred from the text that ____________.
A. Ivanka sleeping five hours a day makes the vast majority guilty.
B. Keeping a stable nine-to- five job will be thought of as a loser.
C. Being distinguished is a commonly advocated culture nowadays.
D. Improving the quality of life will promote one’s social status.
35. Which attitude towards life would the writer probably agree with?
A. Life is like a dogsled team. If you aren’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
B. There is only one success ?Wto be able to spend your life in your own way.
C. Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
D. The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

As it is reported in today’s 21st Century, a pedestrian was walked down a street when someone dropped litter from a building nearby. Knocked unconscious, the person was sent to a nearest hospital immediately.
The horrible report has set me thinking. Admittedly, we have the right do whatever we want. Besides, violating others’ rights is unacceptable. Dropping litter from a high place is impolite and dangerous, that presents a potential threat to many people. If this behavior continue, everyone is likely to suffer from it.
I think the person throwing litter randomly deserves a severe punish. All of us should devote ourselves to improve our own behavior. Most importantly, laws concerning should be introduced by the authorities. With our joint efforts, our society will surely become good. And I sincerely hope such cases won’t happen any more.

Dear Tom，
How time flies! It has been almost a year since your last visit.
Last Sunday, I paid a visit to one of the scenic spots in my hometown. The moment I reached the gate, I was puzzled by a sign, which reads “import”. “What does it mean?” I asked myself. It suddenly dawned on me that it referred to “Entrance”. I had a good laugh over it. When I came to the exit, I was shocked by another word “Export”. It was then that I felt obliged to do something about it.
Given the fact that you are expert in English, I sincerely invite you to my hometown during the summer vacation. I’m firmly convinced that you are more than delighted to do your part in promoting the standard English. Let’s make joint efforts to correct the shabby English, and undoubtedly it must be fun and meaningful.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
详解：
A篇：21---24：CDBD
主旨大意：本文为应用文。文章向我们介绍了多伦多的巴塔鞋博物馆，坎贝尔之家，吉布森老宅博物馆以及黑溪先锋村，让我们了解了每个博物馆的特色。
21.C [解析] 根据文章中的“The space was designed by Raymond Moriyama.”可知答案选C
22. D[解析] 文章中提到“The house was occupied by various other families and used for various other uses (vinegar factory, glassworks).”因此答案选D
23. B[解析]在介绍Gibson House Museum 时，文章有原句“ The museum has a hands -on “discovery gallery” with interactive games and exhibits.”
24.D[解析] 在介绍Black Creek Pioneer Village 时，Exhibits demonstrate how domestic tasks were completed before modern technology. Activities include spinning, baking, and a history lesson. Historical interpreters dress in the clothing of the period and answer visitors’ questions.可知D为正确选项而A,B,C都与原文细节有出入。
，一旦的环境开始看到，我们像那棵小小的向日葵一样相信自己，我们能够得到同样的养分并且成长起来。25. D[解析] 由第一段最后一句可知，房子的前边是另一码事——因为沿人行道修建的不是一面墙，而是在泥地上草草垒起来的石头堆。
2. A[解析] 由第四段最后一句可知，向日葵并不是从我发现茎杆的地方开始生长的。它从一块大石头下面开始发芽、生长，然后绕过石头，以获取阳光。
2. B[解析] 由最后两段可知，正因为相信自己，且不惧挫折，坚持不懈，向日葵才能顽强地生存下来。
主旨大意：本文是一篇说明文，讲述了教育与收入的关系，教育与经济之间产生的矛盾。通过各种研究说明了这个矛盾背后的一些原因。最后作者阐明了自己对是否应该接受大学教育发表了自己的见解。
……”正如商业领导人说的，不是学校没有恰当地教育好学生，也不是学校培养的年轻人还没有为将来的工作做好准备……Bring up “培养、抚养”，put out“生产、扑灭”，bring out“使…显现”，put up“举起、张贴”，因此选A。
29.B 细节题。根据第三段中“In fact, employers do not routinely reward educational attainment; rather, they reward it only when they believe it will contribute to the employee’s productivity.
”可知B项正确。
