• 2．We are all devastated by the news we have just heard from Balmoral.The death of Her Majesty the Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world.
     Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ was the rock on which modern Britain was built.Our country has grown and flourished under her reign（統(tǒng)治時期）.
     Britain is the great country it is today because of her.She ascended the throne just after the Second World War.She championed the development of the Commonwealth（英聯(lián)邦） — from a small group of 7 countries to a family of 56 nations spanning every continent of the world.
     We are now a modern，thriving，dynamic nation.Through thick and thin，Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ provided us with the stability and the strength that we needed.She was the very spirit of Great Britain — and that spirit will endure.She has been our longest-ever reigning monarch（君主）.It is an extraordinary achievement to have presided（主持） with such dignity and grace for 70 years.Her life of service stretched beyond most of our living memories.In return，she was loved and admired by the people in the United Kingdom and all around the world.She has been a personal inspiration to me and to many Britons.Her devotion to duty is an example to us all.
     Earlier this week，at 96，she remained determined to carry out her duties as she appointed me as her 15th prime minister.Throughout her life she has visited more than 100 countries and she has touched the lives of millions around the world.
     In the difficult days ahead，we will come together with our friends across the United Kingdom，the Commonwealth and the world to celebrate her extraordinary lifetime of service.It is a day of great loss，but Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ leaves a great legacy（遺產(chǎn)）.
     Today the Crown passes — as it is has done for more than a thousand years — to our new monarch，our new head of state：His Majesty King Charles Ⅲ.With the King's family，we mourn（哀悼） the loss of his mother.And as we mourn，we must come together as a people to support him.To help him bear the awesome responsibility that he now carries for us all，we offer him our loyalty and devotion just as his mother devoted so much to so many for so long.And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age，we usher（進入） in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country.
     Exactly as Her Majesty would have wished — by saying the words： "God save the King."

• 3．For years，life went something like this：We'd grow up in one place，head off to college，then find a city to live in for a few years to pursue a job or higher education.The end goal was to find somewhere to settle down，buy a house，start a family，and begin the whole cycle all over again.But a new model for living is emerging：Some people are increasingly opting to move from city to city throughout their entire lives，sometimes as frequently as every month.
     Just ask Alex Chatzielefteriou，who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold.Six years ago，he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed，fully furnished apartments for a month at a time，at rents that are cheaper than hotels.Today，the company has 3，000 properties in six U.S.jye.ai，along with Dubai，Istanbul，London，Paris，and Chatzielefteriou's native Athens，and a staff of 400.
     The company just landed ﹩ 50 million in Series B funding，bringing its total investment to ﹩ 78 million，to continue its rapid expansion.It hopes to have 50，000 properties in 50 cities over the next three years，and the goal is to make each one feel unique and cozy，rather than standardized，like what you might find in a traditional hotel.
     Chatzielefteriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. "The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel，" he says. "I had to spend five years in a hotel room，living in 12 different cities.I loved seeing the world，but I didn't love feeling like I didn't have a home."
     As he spoke to his friends and coworkers，he realized that many people were dejected with this lifestyle that meant living out of a suitcase in the same few hotel chains that all began to blend together.And what's more，hotels aren't a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either.In Chatzielefteriou's case，McKinsey sometimes paid ﹩10，000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month，which was far more expensive than local rents.
  
  （1）Chatzielefteriou launched the company Blueground for the following reasons except

  .
  A．he wants to feel like home when exploring the world
  B．many people around him are tired of hotels
  C．hotels are comparatively more expensive
  D．he doesn't have a real home
  （2）Which of the following apartment may belong to Blueground？

  
  A．An apartment that costs dearly but is fully furnished.
  B．An apartment that is standardized and commonly seen.
  C．An apartment that has its own style and is comfortable to live in.
  D．An apartment that is simply designed with only necessary furniture.
  （3）Which of the following words may best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 5？

  
  A．Frustrated.
  B．Confused.
  C．Inspired.
  D．Satisfied.
  （4）What is the passage mainly about？

  
  A．An introduction of a new hotel for consultants.
  B．An introduction of a creative company founder.
  C．An introduction of new accommodation for travelers.
  D．An introduction of the history of a promising company.

第二節(jié)（滿分25分）

• 9．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
      A psychologist once said，"If you've overcome every one of your fears，congratulations - you're dead." This humorous saying points to a simple truth -no one can escape fear completely.
      Fear can be a good thing. It is a natural，healthy reaction to danger. In fact，sometimes you are afraid of things that aren't dangerous，such as public speaking，failing a test，or being rejected. These unhealthy fears can keep you from achieving your dreams. So how can you successfully face your fears？
      First，admit what you fear and then share it with someone you trust. Perhaps you worry that others would look down on you if they know what you fear，but you might be surprised at how many other people share the same fears. Learning you are not the only one who fears something will give your self-esteem（自尊心）a push. Second，ask yourself，"What is the worst-case scenario（最壞的情況）？" This question can help you gain understanding. If you think about it，the worst might not be that bad after all. Compared with the fear of losing a competition or being turned down， the regret of having missed opportunities can be even harder to bear. Even worse，you will never know what you might have accomplished. Finally， take small steps toward overcoming your fears. If you fear public speaking，start by giving a small talk to a few people. If your talk doesn't go well， try again. Each small success will increase your confidence， which is one of the keys to success.
      You might never completely overcome your fear of certain things， but what is important is that you can bring yourself to do what you fear. True bravery is that you feel afraid but still do what you have to do any way. It's also true that you struggle with fear and don't let your fears stop you from getting the most out of life.
