And in recent years, the city has moved6 its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks7 to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also8 thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year,9 travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is 10 to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.Signs of Nanjing’s 11 wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, 12 the father of modern China, looks 13 over a busy 14 area.There is perhaps no more 15 symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. 16 offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and 17 student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school.

All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom a nd statistical evidence, because college will help them earn m ore money, become “better” people, and learn to be more res ponsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for every one. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling s hoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each ot her’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation i n the fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate sc hools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people the mselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus un happiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go t o college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untra ined eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no lo nger absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either. Some campus watchers have openly begun to suggest tha t college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for ev ery young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside d own, it seems, and through the rosy(玫瑰般的) glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhap s college doesn’t make people intelligent,ambitious, happy,lib eral, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitiou s, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But con trary evidence is beginning to come up.55. According to the first paragraph, ___________________.A. people now no longer challenge college education.B. people still have a low opinion of college education.C. the author thinks youngsters should all go to college.D. people have great expectations for college education.56. More young people drop out of college because ________ _.A. they are no longer motivated in their studies.B. they can start selling shoes and driving taxis.C. they compete for admission to graduate schools.D. college administrators encourage them to do so.57. Who does the author think is to blame for campus unhapp iness?A. young students who are all spoiled and expecting too mu ch.B. our society that can’t offer enough jobs to college graduat es.C. our society that has not enough jobs for high school grad uates.D. young people as well as our society are to blame for all t his.BBOne of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dic tionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford Univ ersity in asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the E nglish language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of th e word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used.This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from , the , and the British colonies to search every newspaper, mag azine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of voluntee rs responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and wa s now living in . He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotat ions to . Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he wo uld always decline to visit .

When he arrived, he found Minor loc ked in a booklined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院)for the Criminally Insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in mor e than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. continued to visit Min or regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asyl um grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native . wa s at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes de fined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.61.

Ma ybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.I 41 out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.It turned out that my owner meant to 42 me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther away. So I cast my head 43 the direction of the truck. The days we spe nt together were like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my mal e owner, who suffered liver cancer, looked at me with his sad eyes.

All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom an d statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” peo ple, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more n umerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college st udents interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in th e fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the st ate of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, t he proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We ma y have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through th e rosy(玫瑰般的) glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent,ambitious, happy,liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. An d perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they h ad gone to college or not. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to come up.55. According to the first paragraph, ___________________.A. people now no longer challenge college education.B. people still have a low opinion of college education.C. the author thinks youngsters should all go to college.D. people have great expectations for college education.56. More young people drop out of college because _________.A. they are no longer motivated in their studies.B. they can start selling shoes and driving taxis.C. they compete for admission to graduate schools.D. college administrators encourage them to do so.57. Who does the author think is to blame for campus unhappiness?A. young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much.B. our society that can’t offer enough jobs to college graduates.C. our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates.D. young people as well as our society are to blame for all this.BBOne of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its mos t unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for wha t was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would inclu de every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of t he word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used.This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from , the , and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteer s responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in . He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthor ne, Berkshire，” 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to . Over the next 17 year s, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit . So i n 1897, finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor loc ked in a booklined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院)for the Criminally Insane.Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing t o the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. continued to visit Min or regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native . was at the port to wave goodbye t o his remarkable friend.Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.

Lately, I’ve been talking about success with design students both at the school where I teach and at other programs that I visit. When I ask, “What is success?” The fir st response is, invariably(总是), “Getting a(n) 1 and making money.” It 2 some searching to arrive at a richer answer.3 , getting paid is a baseline for success in any field. Putting this criterion on the table is a(n)4 step.When I ask design students to talk about what makes design different from the fine 5 , they gravitate towards(被吸引到) the role of the client. Designers serve clients, or so the logic goes, 6 artists serve themselves.Although it is true that designers generally rely on clients, pleasing them is not the 7 purpose of our work. What designers share with our clients is the 8 . Our clients wouldn’t need us at all if we weren’t helping them 9 that public. The public may never know who designed the coffee cup t hey’re holding, the magazine they’re reading or the sign that’s 10 them where to go. But they’re seeing it, and some of them might, at some level, have their 11 enlivened(使有生气), simplified or otherwise improved by it. One way to think about success is asking whether your work gets 12 or used, and if so, whether using it improves people’s lives.Designers have many ways to 13 to their profession and to see and be seen in the design world. One is entering competitions and 14 work to annuals and exhibitions. Another is 15 the design community—going to events, lectures and conferences, and helping to organize them, too. Yet another involves 16 and writing. Blogs and online journals like this one enable any designer to have a voice and share ideas.Success is 17 going to work every day and getting paid. Success means finding personal satisfaction 18 your work and loving what you do. And it means engaging with a(n) 19 world: a world of clients and employers, but also of readers, users and other designers.

2015年上海英语高考真题完形填空及参考答案精校版III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to people’s lives. The53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s indivi duality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. beneficial53. A. priority B. proof C. possibility D. principle54. A. tested B. imposed C. changed D. created55. A. appearances B. virtues C. similarities D. passions56.

However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became areally40 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather thanto 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we can besharply 50 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are— 53 most of the time, and especially whenit's not a really big 54 .Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little 55, you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.36. A. lonely B. great C. quiet D. uneasy37. A. received B. answered C. expected D. rejected38.
