【题目】 A decade ago, colored lights danced around the living room on New Year’s Eve and happy music was played. Upstairs, the children were asleep. But I wasn’t feeling happy. In mid-December, my husband and I had been informed that he had cancer and that he was going to die. He had less than a year left, the doctors said.
In the years since that painful season, I have come to look back upon New Year’s Eve as an ending and a beginning. New Year’s Eve brings a halt to the endless commitments that fill our daily lives and a chance to reflect.
New Year’s Eve is full of possibility and anticipation. What will be the surprising experiences and delightful successes in the coming year? But also, what disappointments are waiting for us in the next twelve months?
In many ways, New Year’s Eve and the days that surround it are a line between past and future. That line is made up of a series of moments of transition(过渡) that take us out of the old and into the new. Transition can be challenging for many of us. It’s about letting go of the familiar and diving headlong (迅猛地) into the unfamiliar.
Just as, back then, I had to face letting go of the life I had led with my beloved husband and stepping into a new world as a widowed mom. I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead.
Last year at this time, I sat in a chair in southern France and drank in the stillness(沉静) and beauty of the countryside around me. The three children and I had brought into this world talked and laughed around the table beside me as we enjoyed a lunch of bread and cheese.
I was filled with a sense of joy and I had a glowing(热情洋溢的) heart that was full of hope. It was another ending and another beginning. May we all transition into the best of what lies ahead. May we all find happiness this holiday season.

这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章论述了作者对于新年夜的看法，作者认为在新年应该想想过去，为未来做好准备。
【1】词义猜测题。根据上文In the years since that painful season, I have come to look back upon New Year’s Eve as an ending and a beginning.（在那个痛苦的季节之后的这些年里，我开始把新年前夜看作一个结束和一个开始。）以及下文to the endless commitments that fill our daily lives and a chance to reflect可知，新年前夜让我们停止无休止的日常生活，也有了反思的机会。故可推测划线部分单词意思为“停止”。故选A。
【2】细节理解题。根据第一段But I wasn’t feeling happy. In mid-December, my husband and I had been informed that he had cancer and that he was going to die.（但是我不开心。12月中旬，我和丈夫被告知，他得了癌症，即将去世。）可知，作者在十年前新年前夜不开心的主要原因是她丈夫面临的健康问题。故选B。
【3】推理判断题。根据第五段中I find that each year I have to step out of the version of me that suited the year that is ending and ease into the version of me who will rise to the goals I am holding for myself for the year ahead.（我发现，每一年我都必须走出即将结束的已经适应一年的自己的版本，轻松地进入我将为未来的一年实现自己的目标的版本。）可知，作者认为人们在新年应该想想过去，为未来做好准备。故选D。
【4】推理判断题。根据文章主要内容可知，作者分享自己的经历和对新年夜的看法，故推知作者的写作目的是为了分享自己对于新年夜的看法和观点。故选C。

【题目】SummaryWriting
Sociologists have long recognized that organization of less than 200individuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members.Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are getting lessflexible. So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting fromfailures of communication.
One solution to this problem would, of course, be tostructure large organizations into smaller units of a size that can act as agroup. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, largerorganizations can be built up. However, merely having groups of, say, 150 willnever of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization.Something else is needed: the people involved must be able to build directpersonal relationships. To allow free flow of information, they have to be ableto communicate with each other in a casual way. Maintaining too formal astructure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works.
The importance of this was drawn to my attention twoyears ago by the case of a TV station. Whether by chance or by design, it sohappened that there were almost exactly 150 people in the station. The wholeprocess worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they weremoved into purpose-built accommodation. Then, for no apparent reason, the workseemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less satisfying.
It was some time before they work out what the problemwas. It turn out that, when the architects were designing the new building,they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunchtimes was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, theyaccidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the wholeorganization. What had apparently been happening was that, as people gatheredinformally over their sandwiches in the coffee room, useful information wascasually being exchanged.
