Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II．Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of 669 Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called "That's Life"，which featured Sir Winton. People around the world were moved at the details of the story, with saying it to be the best story they've ever seen.Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about his planning until fifty years later. After the war, years passed and many people remained in the dark about Sir Winton's extraordinary achievement. Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton's notebook which documented the names of all the children. She worked with BBC and they produced a TV episode（插曲）of their program "That's Life" that served as an honor for Sir Winton's work.In 2003，Sir Winton was knighted by the Queen of England for his work. He also was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He also had a small planet named after him by Czech astronomers. Sir Winton died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of 106，in 2015．Leaders around the world paid tribute（悼念）．Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Daniel Taub, said, "He was a hero of our time, having saved 669 Jewish children from Nazis. His story, as a point of light in a period of darkness, will forever be remembered."15.What happened to the 669 Jewish children？______A. They were killed by Nazis.B. They returned to their own homes.C. They fled to their native countries.D. They were raised by English families.16.What made Winton's story spread widely？______A. People's chatting online.B. The program "That's Life".C. His wife's promotion.D. Praises from some leaders.17.Which of the following can replace the underlined expression "remained in the dark" inParagraph 3？______A. felt doubtfulB. remained movedC. knew nothingD. criticized something18.What do we know about Winton？______A. He was born in 1909.B. Nazis tried to arrest him.C. He named a small planet.D. Many children paid tribute to him.CPeople are seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals. Marketing yourself can be a good choice, which can help you achieve your goals. Though when people talk about marketing, they usually think that this is about producing a sale, it does not necessarily have to be.If you are an employee then you want your boss to take your ideas, and if you are on a job hunting then you want to find a good position. So in reality, marketing really leads to sale. So marketing yourself means you are simply "selling" yourself!The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is unpleasant to market themselves. They think that marketing concerns only to a business. Of course, this is absolutely not true. People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves. Marketing yourself is a useful tool. The better you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have. Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are. It means letting your prospective employer know that you exist or you can do something better.There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself. But there are only two primaryways that you carry out. The first is to find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.To reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee. In that way your good reputation will follow naturally. Have a brief and concise message that you can share with others. When you market yourself, you tell people who you are and what you can do for others. Plan well and practice your message.In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them. Communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself. You also communicate by what you are wearing. Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear. Just remember to make a great first impression!19.What is the main idea of the passage？______A. Marketing yourself is a business.B. The subject of marketing yourself.C. The ways of marketing yourself.D. The problems of marketing yourself.20.According to the passage, as to marketing themselves, most people tend to feel ______ .A. confidentB. cheerfulC. terribleD. appropriate21.In order to market yourself well, you can do these things EXCEPT ______ .A. be open to othersB. praise yourselfC. wear appropriatelyD. have a brief and clear message22.From the passage, we can infer that people good at marketing themselves must be______ .A. communicativeB. humorousC. hardworkingD. beautifulDNASA might be famous for sending rockets up to space quickly．But it will be more famous for making your next holiday come more quickly．The space agency is working on a new plane，which could solve the problems of supersonic （超音速的）flight and vastly increase the speed of journeys abroad．If successful，the plane would be able to fly between New York and London in just three hours．And it would reducethe time spent flying other journeys by a half，since it could be used more broadly．Until now，the problem with such planes has been the sonic boom （声爆），made famous by the original Concorde．That happens when a plane reaches supersonic speeds．It is a thunderous noise that upsets people on the ground-disturbing animals and even causing physical problems to materials and houses underneath．It was that effect that led Congress to ban such planes from being used over the US land，a decision that in turn was responsible for Concorde's failing to be commercially used．In view of the problem，the space agency has developed a new technology and tried it out in wind tunnels，and now believes that it could be put to commercial use．That plane will fly as high as 55，000 feet-far higher than normal planes-and make a sound of only 60 decibels．That's far less than 90 decibels thrown out by normal planes，and is roughly in line with a car on the motorway or a busy restaurant．"As long as we can get endorsement from the general public，the plane will probably be something that's acceptable，" said Peter Coen，project manager for NASA's commercial supersonic research team，in a new Bloomberg report．"If we get approved，we will have the full-sized version of the plane tried out and the plane will be put into use．"23.Why does the author mention Concorde？______A. To suggest the rapid development of planes．B. To stress the negative effect of sonic booms．C. To introduce how a commercial plane is designed．D. To show Congress' important role in making planes．24.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？______A. The basic data of the new plane．B. The working principle of the new plane．C. The problems of the new plane．D. The potential market of the new plane．25.What does the underlined word "endorsement" in paragraph 5 mean？______A. ResponseB. Commitment．C. InvestmentD. Agreement 34．What is the purpose of the passage？______ A．To inform peopleof NASA's new plane．B．To prove the disadvantages of supersonic flight．C．Toexplain why speed matters in supersonic flight．D．To clarify some misunderstandings about commercial planes．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）Sudha Chandran, a classical dancer from India, had to have her right leg cut after a car accident.

If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer，we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素）and fatigue products．But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein，it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day．So far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning．The brain is totally tireless．So what makes us tired？Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes．One of England's most outstanding scientists，J．A．Hadfield，says，"The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin．In fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare．" Dr．Brill，a famous American scientist，goes even further．He declares，"One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems．"What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired？Joy？Satisfaction？No! A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of not being appreciated -- those are the emotions that tire sitting workers．Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue．We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body．4.What surprised the scientists a few years ago？______A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood．B. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue．C. Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work．D. A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins．5.According to the author，which of the following can make sitting workers tired？______A. Unpleasant emotions．B. Challenging mental work．C. Endless tasks．D. Physical labor．6.What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas？______A. He doubts them．B. He argues against them．C. He agrees with them．D. He hesitates to accept them．7.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic，sitting workers need to______ ．A. discover fatigue toxinsB. have some good foodC. exercise regularlyD. enjoy their work【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】C 【小题4】D【解析】1．B．细节理解题．根据第一段To the amazement of these scientists， they discovered that blood passing through the brain ， when it is active， shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer， we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素） and fatigue products．可知，几年前科学家们感到惊讶的是大脑可以工作数小时而不会疲劳．故选B．2．A．细节理解题．根据第三段He declares， "One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems．"可知，不愉快的情绪会使坐着的工人感到累．故选A．3．C．推理判断题．根据最后一段What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired？ Joy？ Satisfaction？ No! A feeling of b eing bored， anger， anxiety， tenseness， worry， a feeling of not being appreciated -- th ose are the emotions that tire sitting workers．什么样的情绪让坐着的工人感到疲倦？欢乐？满意度？不！感到无聊，愤怒，焦虑，紧张，忧虑，不被欣赏的感觉- 这些是厌倦工作的情绪．可知，作者同意科学家的观点．故选C．4．D．细节理解题．根据最后一段Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue． We get tired because our emotions produce nerv ousness in the body．可知，为了保持精力充沛，坐着的工人需要享受他们的工作．故选D．本文是一篇社会文化类阅读，主要讲述了有关导致疲劳的原因的研究．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．CA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops．Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legib ility（清晰度）．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught．Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased thetendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for word what the professor said．In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper．They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills．Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts．The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand．However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts．Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts．The researcher's report said，"While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears．"In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture．This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam．These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．8.More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can ______ ．A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better9.While taking notes，laptop users tend to be ______ ．A. skillful．B. mindless．C. thoughtful．D. tireless．10.The author of the passage aims to ______ ．A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of lap tops11.The passage is likely to appear in ______ ．A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance report【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】C 【小题4】C【解析】24．A 细节理解题：根据文章第二段第一行的句子：Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility（清晰度）．可知越来越多的学生喜欢用笔记本记笔记，因为这样他们可以记更多的笔记．所以选A．25．B 细节理解题：根据第三段的句子，Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for word what the professors said可知使用笔记本记笔记的学生往往是无意识的．所以选B．26．C 写作意图题：文章介绍通过实验发现手写记笔记比用笔记本记笔记好处更多，学生更容易记住记的材料，所以作者是想强调用手记笔记的重要性．所以选C．27．C 推理判断题：These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future．作者介绍手写记笔记和用笔记本记笔记好处相比，学生更容易记住记的材料．这个结果是通过两个实验得出的，所以应该是出现在科学杂志上，而不是：报纸广告，电脑课文，和财经报道，所以选C．文章介绍通过实验发现手写记笔记比用笔记本记笔记好处更多，学生更容易记住记的材料．这样可以督促学生多用手记笔记．本文是科教类阅读理解．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据DTo err is human．To blame the other guy is even more human．Common sense is not all that common．Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse？These three popular misquotes （戏谑的引语）are meant to be jokes，and yet they tell us a lot about human nature．To err，or to make mistakes，is indeed a part of being human，but it seems that most people don't want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake．They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem．Perhaps it is the natural thing to do．The original quote about human nature went like this："To err is human，to forgive，divine （神圣的）．" This saying mirrors an ideal：people should be forgiving of others' mistakes．Instead，we tend to do the opposite -- find someone else to pass the blame on to．However，taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity．Common sense is what we call clear thought．Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well，and it also means staying with the plan．Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm，but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine．Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations，because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything．People say that in a large company，"the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing．"And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art？One of the common problems with making excuses is that people，especially young people，get the idea that it's okay not to be totally honest all the time．There is a corollary （直接推论）to that：if a good excuse is "good" even if it isn't honest，then where is the place of the truth？12.According to the passage，which of the following seems the most human？______A. To search for truth．B. To criticize others for one's own error．C. To make fun of others' mistakes．D. To achieve one's ideal．13.Which of the following is NOT based on common sense？______A. A lawyer acts on fine judgments．B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather．C. A company's next move follows a good plan．D. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company．14.What is the author's opinion about a good excuse？______A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy．B. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse．C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty．D. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas．15.What would be the best title for his passage？______A. A Mirror of Human NatureB. To Blame or to ForgiveC. A Mark of MaturityD. Truth or Excuse【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】D 【小题3】B 【小题4】A【解析】1．B．细节理解题．根据第一段第一句和第二句"To err is human．To blame the other guy is even more human"可知，批评他人是更人性化的，故选B．2．D．细节理解题．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段可知靠常识似乎对于一个大的组织并不适合，因为有太多的事情要处理以至于一个人不可能负责全部工作．所以D项"一个人负责一个大公司的全部工作属于非常识"．B项从"Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm"得出．A项和C项从"Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well，and it also means staying with the plan．"得出．故选D．3．B．推理判断题．根据最后一段"And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art …then where is the place of the truth"可知，作者在反思一种错误思想，编造好的借口就如创造艺术，尽管不诚实大家感到很正常，但是真理放在那哪一个地方，说明作者反对编造好的借口，故选B．4．A．主旨大意题．从全文来看，作者用三个引言导出人性这个话题，从责备还是宽恕，常识还是非常识，真理还是借口三方面来体现人性．故选A"人性的镜子"；B 项和D项只是第二段和最后一段的段落大意，不能代表全文．C项是第二段的一个细节．故选A．本文中作者用三个引言："犯错是人之常情、但是推卸责任更是人之本性、常识往往并不常见．"导出人性这个话题，从责备还是宽恕，常识还是非常识，真理还是借口三方面来体现人性．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）It is never possible to lead a life without any stress（压力），but it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided．(1) ．Try physical activity(2) ．Running，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try．Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment（娱乐）．Don't forget，play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work．(3) ．Go window-shopping or work on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy．Take care of yourself(4) ．If you easily get angry and can't sleep well enough，or if you're not eating properly，it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult（咨询）a doctor．(5)Stress can result from（导致）disorganization and a feeling that"there's so much to do，and not enough time"．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you may not achieve anything．Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，and then do one thing at a time，checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first．A．You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest．B．Do whatever you like and want to do．C．The following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress．D．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．E．When you are nervous，angry or upset，try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity．F．You could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every day．G．Make a list of things to do．16.

AThere are lots of ways to experience Portland—through its history, shopping, or cultural and culinary pursuits—and they’re all spectacular. But you mustn’t forget one of the most important parts of Portland package deals: your hotel. Consider these popular options when it’s time to rest.Kimpton HotelThis accommodation offers Italian sheets, designer bath products, and a relaxing spa, and you’ll never go hungry with fine dining at its on-site restaurant. Add on a balcony or a whirlpool tub, and you’ll really be living in luxury.Benson HotelIt can hold its own when it comes to amenities, too: memory foam beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, soaking bathtubs, and two restaurants await. And its location near both Portland Institute for Contemporary Art and the Museum of Contemporary Craft is ideal for art lovers.Modera HotelIt is just steps from Portland State University and the heart of downtown. Modern furnishings and a 500-piece art collection are the icing on the cake of this four-star hotel, which also has a garden-setting outdoor courtyard and restaurant.Paramount HotelIt is a top pick thanks to its location and affordability. Those who seek out cultural endeavors will enjoy proximity to Schnitzer Concert Hall and Portland Center for the Performing Arts, and any type of traveler can enjoy the free Wi-Fi and views of Director Park.1. Which of the following is an ideal hotel for art enthusiasts?A. Benson HotelB. Modera HotelC. Paramount HotelD. Egyptian Hotel2. If a visitor has a tight budget, he’d better choose____________.A. Kimpton HotelB. Benson HotelC. Modera HotelD. Paramount Hotel3. Where can you find this passage?A. fashion magazineB. holiday brochureC. science reportD. business contractBLi Ming , a 13-year-old student has spent most of his spare time on a mobile game, King of Glory since May. “Every boy in our class is playing it, and we hold competitions within and among classes. Good players are respected and it is easier for them to make more friends,” said Li. He added one of the most important reasons they love the game is that the historical characters are all in cartoon style and look “very cool.”Li is one of many thousands of young players who are crazy about this game. Although this Chinese mobile game enjoy great popularity, recently, it has come under fire for promoting an inaccurate representation of ancient Chinese history.The characters in the game not only travel through time and space to fight together, but also take on historical figures’ names wi th no connection at all to their experiences in history. This characteristic could easily confuse young players. Some parents are worried that it may mislead their children and have a bad influence on their study, especially on history and Chinese.Zhang Liang, a 27-year-old IT worker, thinks such worries are reasonable, but the problem is not alarming. Zhang pointed out that a proper use of history or legendary materials in games should combine education with entertainment.However, some hit back at the accusation, arguing that games are supposed to be creative, and that “King of Glory” doesn’t intend to be set in any specific historical period.“I am aware that there are many young players, some even in primary school. Some might be affected by the game in certain ways, but it can do a lot of good if students become interested in the characters and do more research to that end,” one “King of Glory” player said.After all, the root cause of the problem is that there is no game rating system in China to protect children who are too young to distinguish virtual world from real history.4. Why did the author mention Li Ming’s story in Paragraph 1?A. To show King of Glory is very popular.B. To lead in the topic of the passage.C. To explain why young people play the game.D. To persuade us to play the game .5. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “come under fire” in paragraph 2?A. Be popular.B. Be accused.C. Be played.D. Be banned.6. Some parents worry that you ng players of“King of Glory”may____________A. get addicted to it.B. lose interest in study.C. have trouble in understanding real history.D. feel confused about the characters in the game.7. What’s Zhang’s attitude towards the game“King of Glory”?A. Supportive.B. Opposed.C. Indifferent.D. Objective.CSelf-driving cars are so popular that the University of Michigan has even established a town called Mcity to allow car manufacturers to safely test their autonomous cars.While Mcity can be used to simulate many real-life road conditions, it cannot help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention to other drivers, pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution, US car manufacturer Ford, with researchers from Virginia Tech, firstly considered using text as a way to communicate the car’s intention, but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also discarded, because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean. Finally, the researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to accelerate.Then came the big challenge—testing the signals on real road, “We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if you’ve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans,” said Andy Shaudt, who led the Virginia Tech research team. “So we needed to make it look like a driverless car.”The team designed a car seat costume that the driver would wear to cover his or her face and upper body. Of course, the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar on the windshield, which flashed one of the three signals when appropriate. Six drivers, all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be detected, took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging. Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween?8. What did the team use as a way to communicate the car’s intention?A. Light.B. Language.C. Symbols.D. Sound.9. What does a rapidly flashing light mean?A. The car was coming to a stop.B. There was no driver in the car.C. The car was about to speed up.D. The car was about to slow down.10. The car seat costume was intended to____________.A. amuse the driverB. attract the pedestrianC. warn the cyclistsD. confuse the peopleDAs more people opt for the single life, adult friendships also grow more important. For people in relationships, having a reliable group is important, too—your mate will be much happier if you’re sp reading your anxieties beyond his or her ears and you will also feel better.In a recent study, researchers made some fascinating findings about how “who we are” informs the friendships we hold. The study was based on the most popular personality construct in contemporary psychology, the Big 5 personality traits: extraversion, or how much you love attention and interacting with people; neuroticism, or how easily worried you are by things; agreeableness, or how warm and kind you are; conscientiousness, or ho w careful you are about life’s many duties; and openness to experience, or how much you’re into discovering new things, whether they’re ideas, people, or places.For their study, the research team recruited 434 students. They took a personality questionnaire in the lab, then rated how satisfied they were with their friends and their life overall, and then researchers asked them to recommend half a dozen friends to rate their personality. Gathering these ratings together, the researchers found that openness to experience didn’t have anything to do with friendship satisfaction, at least in this study. Neuroticism was linked to lower satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please, at least in my personal experience). But having high scores in the three remaining sunnytraits-conscientiousness, extra version, and agreeableness-predicted higher friendship satisfaction. However, it’s a pretty intuitive(直觉的) result, since it’s easy to be friends with someone who’s always on time, always saying that you’re right, and always up to hang out. But if you don’t exactly identify with all that, fear not: Your personality is so much more than your traits.11. What does the author think of the friendship? A. It is helpful to dating and workB. It can relieve your negative emotionsC. It has nothing to do with personalityD. It is based on the 5 popular personality traits12. What did the recent study find?A. The biggest 5 personality traitsB. The methods of informing the friendshipsC. The ways to form the most popular personalityD. The relationship between personality and friendships13. What opinion does the author hold?A. It’s hard to please emotionally unstable peopleB. A punctual person can surely make more friendsC. Friends are more important than families for single personsD. The five traits are equally demanded in getting higher friendship satisfactionEHow do you get to Carnegie Hall(卡内基音乐厅)? “practice, practice, practice” is the well-known answer. But for some inspiring young musicians from the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul, the road to the famous concert hall was more difficult.The Afghan Youth Orchestra(AYO) is made up of young people who study at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music. It was the first orchestra created in Afghanistan in 30 years.Gulalai Norestani, 14, plays a traditional string instrument. Like many students, Gulalai became an orphan when her parents were killed during the ongoing war. Music is her salvation. “Music for me is a language of peace,” Gulalai said. “It connectspeople.”Milad Yousufi, 18, is a piano student. “Music is my life,” he said. Milad also lost many of his family members during the war. When mus ic was banned, he couldn’t even touch a piano. So as a 12-year-old boy, he started painting and drawing. “I used to draw a piano,” he said. Finally, Milad was free to play a real piano. “Our dream came true,” he said. “It is everyone’s dream to play in Carnegie Hall.”And he has more dreams. “I have a dream to continue my education in America,” he explained. “I am working hard to make that happen. Then I have a dream to come back to Afghanistan and teach and serve people.”Because of continuing limits in Afghanistan, Gulalai and Milad listen mostly to the king of classical music they played at Carnegie Hall. But Gulalai says she’s heard a bit of Jennifer Lopez and Shakira and she likes them. Milad says he has heard of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but hasn’t yet had a chance to listen to them.Before Milad went onstage that night with the band of Afghan kids who had survived a war, I asked him if he had ever experienced true peace. “No, not yet,” he answered, adding, “I hope I will be able to.”Later during th e performance, as he played one of Carnegie Hall’s famous grand pianos, the look of pure joy on his face convinced me that he found peace in music.14. What is Gulalai’s opinion on music?A. It makes people understand each other.B. It calms her down in the war.C. It is a kind of violent language.D. It saves her from the killing at war.15. What is Milad’s final aim?A. To play a real piano.B. To serve his country.C. To further study.D. To play in Carnegie. 16. What can we learn from the passage?A. Classical music is not played in Afghanistan.B. Gulalai knows Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber well.C. The music Gulalai and Milad can hear is limited.D. Milad likes Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.17. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Traditional Afghan MusicB. Young MusiciansC. A Better PerformanceD. A Peace in MusicFYelp, the San Francisco Internet company that makes reviews of restaurants and other businesses across a large part of America, is getting into the food delivery business.Today, the company has announced that it has agreed to acquire Eat24, a food company that delivers food to homes on behalf of partner restaurants. Yelp is paying $134 million for the company-$75 million in cash and the rest in stock. Eat24 works with 20,000 restaurants in more than 1,500 cities all over the U.S.On Yelp's reviews site, you can find new restaurants to suit your tastes, and now that the company is acquiring Eat24, the idea is that it will also let you take the next step: order food to your door.“If you're looking at a restaurant, you want to be able to book that restaurant,”Yelp co-founder and CEO Jeremy said in a Tuesday interview. “If we can integrate(融入) that into the Yelp experience, it makes the site much better.”The move is just one way that some of Internet's most recognizable names are branching into online food delivery to improve their existing business. Last August, payments company Square bought Caviar, a high－end quick food delivery service. And that same month, Uber tested a fast food delivery service called UberFRESH, whichaimed to deliver meals from local restaurants to customers in less than 10 minutes.In each case, food delivery can provide an added source of income, and it can also help these companies push the use of their existing services. The market for food delivery is hardly small, and mobile technologies can speed up the process, potentially expanding the business even further.18. How does Yelp pay for the company Eat24?A. Totally by cheque.B. Totally in cash.C. Partly in stock.D. Only in credit.19. What can customers NOT do on the new Yelp's website?A. Finding the restaurants they like.B. Booking a restaurant they like.C. Ordering food to their door.D. Enjoying much cheaper food.20. From the passage, we can infer that many companies ____________.A. begin to set up their own food branchesB. make little money from their existing businessC. begin to attach importance to food delivery makingD. give up the present business and turn to food making第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a 1 rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew 2 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (钟爱) ever since —— 3 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite.

It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered thett blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day labourer, we could find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxing at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours f efforts as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired. Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue come from our mental and emotional(情感的) attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists. J. A．Hadfield,says,“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact,fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares,“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired?Joy?Satifaction?No!A feeling of being bored,anger,anxiety,tenseness,worry,a feeling of nt being appreciated---those are emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.24．What surprised the scientists a few years ago?A．Fatigue toxinscould hardly be found in a labour’s blood.B．Albert Eistein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.C．The brain could wrk for many hours without fatigue.D．A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.25．According to the authour,which of the following can make sitting worker tired？A．Challenge mental work.B．Unpleasant emotions.C．Endless tasks.D．Physical labor.26．What’s the authour’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas?A．He agrees with them.B．He doubts themC．He argues against them.D．He hesitates to accept them.27．We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energic, sitting workers need to ______. A．have some good bloodB．enjoy their workC．exercise regularlyD．discover fatigue toxinA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)．Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers' report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future. 28．More and more students favour laptops for note-taking because they can ________. A．write more notes B．digest concepts betterC．get higher scores D．understand lectures better29．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be ________.A．skilful B．mindlessC．thoughtful D．tireless30．The author of the passage aims to ________.A．examine the importance of long-term memoryB．stress the benefit of taking notes by handC．explain the process of taking notesD．promote the use of laptops31．The passage is likely to appear in ________.A．a newspaper advertisement B．a computer textbookC．a science magazine D．a finance reportTo err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.Common sense is not all that common.Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake. They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine (神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite —— find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity.Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary (直接推论) to t hat: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?32．According to the passage, which of the following seems the most human?A．To search for truth.B．To criticize others for one’s own error.C．To make fun of others’ mistakes.D．To achieve one’s ideal.33．Which of the following is NOT based on common sense?A．A lawyer acts on fine judgments.B．A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.C．A company’s next move follows a good plan.D．A man tries to take charge of everything in a large company.34．What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?A．Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy.B．Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.C．A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.D．Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.35．What would be the best title for his passage?A．A Mirror of Human NatureB．To Blame or to ForgiveC．A Mark of MaturityD．Truth or Excuse三、七选五While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. 36．Try physical activity.37．Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.Make time for yourself.Arrange time for both work and fun. Don’t forget, play can be just as important as your overall well-being as work. 38．Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Take care of yourself.39．If you easily ge t angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should go to see a doctor.40．Stress can result form disorganization and a feeling that “ there’s so much to do, not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything.
