38、h employees work more than 50 hours per week.”可知，斯德哥尔摩是全球初创公司最为集中的一个热点，吸引着来自世界各地的精英。员工每周工作时间超过 50 小时的不足 1%。所以斯德哥尔摩吸引着来自世界各地的精英可能是因为这座城市对员工的工作政策。故C选项正确。14Sweden is on the top of the world for its .Atourism BsportsCfamily life Drecord storesC细节理解题。由第三段“Little wonder that Sweden was rated the best loca

48、苦之处，C选项“你是否总是和家长讨论成绩？”描述作业与成绩的关系，是前两句的延伸，故选C。17A本段陈述睡眠对于家庭作业的重要性，故A选项“获得足够的睡眠时间”符合本段文意，故选A。18D根据前一句If you sometimes avoid working on a project because you just dont have the energy，you can increase your energy level by changing your diet.可知，如果是因为没有精力而不能做事情的话，你可以改变饮食习惯来补充能量，D选项“早上一根香蕉可以改善你在学校的表现”是对前一

(them)【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了在美国被美国家庭邀请吃饭的过程。36in句意：主人可能会亲自打电话给你。句中的in person为固定搭配，意为“亲自“，因此本空填in。37invitation

65、句意：或者他们可能在邮件中给你发一个书面邀请函。本空前被形容词written所修饰，所以要用invite的名词形式 invitation。38served本句中的serve在句中修饰名词meal，即serve a meal(上菜，上饭)，二者是被动关系。表被动，要用过去分词作定语，因此用served。39are seated句意：如果客人就座了，主人可以为客人提供食物。sb.be seated 为固定用法，意为“某人就坐”，主句用一般将来时或情态动词，if条件状语从句要用一般现在时。从句的主语是the guests，所以填are seated。40that句意：如果客人在餐桌旁就座，主人就可以

66、提供食物，或者传递食物，以便让每个人自便。so that.为固定搭配，意为“以便，结果，以致”。因此本空填that。41usually本空是用于修饰动词serve，修饰动词要用副词形式，因此要用usual的副词形式usually。42anhalf an hour为“半小时”。hour的读音是以元音开头的，所以要用不定冠词an。43or句意：大多数美国人在家里没有女佣或其他帮手。在表示否定句中的并列往往用not.or，因此本空填or。44preparing句意：丈夫和妻子及其子女通常分担准备饭菜和饭后清理的责任。本空是作介词of 的宾语，且和and后的cleaning并列，所以要用动词的ing形

67、式，故填preparing。45themselves句意：晚餐后，客人通常会在主人家待上两到三个小时。所有的人都玩得开心。enjoy oneself为固定搭配，意为“玩得开心”。本句的主人为they，所以要填themselves。第三部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华，你所在的城市即将举办国际贸易博览会，有关部门现在向全社会招聘志愿者。请你写信应聘，内容包括：1具有为国际友人服务的热情；2掌握丰富的中国文化知识，既是服务人员，也是文化的传播者；3具有流利的英语表达能力，能做好沟通工作。注意：1字迹工整；2词数：80左右；3开头和结尾已写好，不计入总词数。参考词汇：国

73、nized.In contemporary society，culture remains a major part in determining our ideas of beauty.In some countries，young women follow slimming diets to lose extra kilos in preparation for their wedding day.In other cultures，looking thin for a husbandtobe is not what a woman desires at allrather，looking

74、 a little overweight is considered more attractive.With the influence of history，society and culture，there are no precise criteria which can be used to judge what is beautiful.Lifelong commitment and，indeed，the survival of society itself rely on people seeing beauty in difference and depth.The human

75、 race would soon die out if we could only see beauty within a set of limited criteria.Physical beauty must also be accompanied by an attraction to something deeper within a person.This particular kind of attraction is found in a wide range of personal qualities，e.g.kindness，warmth，a healthy conscien

76、ce，etc.Judging the appeal of a persons inner beauty is much more subjective.It takes more than a casual glance to appreciate and it is much more important than physical beauty.Beauty，therefore，has more than one dimension.We are influenced by our culture，our biology and our time in history to notice

77、physical beauty quickly and easily，but it is inner beauty that requires us to truly see.Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder. 【参考范文】There is no fixed standard of beauty.(要点一)Our ideas of beauty change across time and cultures.(要点二)In fact，beauty in difference and depth contributes to the survival of society.(要点三)While physical beauty can be noticed quickly and easily，inner beauty is more important but is more difficult to truly see.(要点四)As beauty has more than one dimension，it does live in the eye of the beholder.(要点五)
