Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. In 2006, she started her own consulting practice, but by 2008, most of her larger clients had to drop her because of the economy. In 2011, she was undertaking irregular assignments and knew she needed a steady job. The first job she considered was Director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm´s culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company´s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same. "Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn´t do that," Isabel says. She called the recruiter to turn down the job and explained that she didn´t feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she interviewed for another job: a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives: it was a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employee-friendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn´t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down. "It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night," she says,In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn´t taking the jobs. "In the past, it felt like dating, I was worried about hurting people´s feelings," she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.第26题In 2011, Isabel ______.A.did consulting now and thenB.found a job close to her homeC.refused several job interviewsD.ran a successful consulting firm第27题Isabel turned down the first job offer mainly because of its ______.A.CEOB.cultureC.locationD.recruiter第28题Isabel was dissatisfied with the second job due to its ______.A.junior titleB.low benefitsC.environmentck of challenge第29题Isabel believed that her rejection of the jobs was ______.A.harmfulB.surprisingC.justifiableD.troublesome第30题According to Isabel, it is important to ______.A.look for jobs with little stressB.look for jobs with great benefitsC.be truthful in declining job offersD.be cautious in declining job offers上一题下一题(31~35/共10题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.You do not usually get something for nothing. Now, a new study reveals that the evolution of an improved learning ability could come at a particularly high price: an earlier death.Past experiments have demonstrated that it is relatively easy through selective breeding to make rats, honey bees and—that great favourite of researchers—fruit flies a lot better at learning. Animals that are better learners should be competitive and, thus, over time, come to dominate a population by natural selection. But improved learning ability does not get selected amongst these animals in the wild. No one really understands why.Tadeusz Kawecki and his colleagues at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have measured the effects of improved learning on the lives of fruit flies. The flies were given two different fruits as egg-laying sites. One of these was laced with a bitter additive that could be detected only on contact. The flies were then given the same fruit but without an additive. Flies that avoided the fruit which had been bitter were deemed to have learned from their experience. Their children were reared and the experiment was run again.After repeating the experiment for 30 generations, the children of the learned flies were compared with normal flies. The researchers report in a forthcoming edition of Evolution that although learning ability could be bred into a population of fruit flies, it shortened their lives by 15%. When the researchers compared their learned flies to colonies selectively bred to live long lives, they found even greater differences. Whereas learned flies had reduced their life spans, the long-lived flies learned less well than even average flies.The authors suggest that evolving an improved learning ability may require a greater investment in the nervous system which takes resources away from processes that delay ageing. However, Dr. Kawecki thinks the effect could also be a by-product of greater brain activity increasing the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which can increase oxidation in the body and damage health.No one knows whether the phenomenon holds true for other animals. So, biologists, at least, still have a lot to learn.第31题Past experiments prove selective breeding can make animals better ______.manderspetitorsC.survivorsD.learners第32题In this experiment, scientists observed that ______.A.some flies avoided the fruit without an addictiveB.some flies preferred the fruit with an addictiveC.the eggs of the flies were not damagedD.the impact on the flies did not last long第33题The forthcoming report says that ______.A.long-lived flies are better at laying eggsB.long-lived flies are poorer in learningC.learned flies have a relatively long lifeD.learned flies live as long as average onesAccording to Dr. Kawecki, greater brain activity ______.A.reduces oxygen consumptionB.regulates the nervous systemC.speeds up the ageing processD.stabilizes the ageing process第35题We learn from the text that ______.A.the research findings need to be tested furtherB.biologists are doing similar research on other animalsC.the animal world usually follows the same universal lawsD.biologists are applying their findings to other areas上一题下一题(36~40/共5题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Richard:I´ve always viewed tipping as a way of saying "thank you" to the one who serves me. I believe what is bad is when no tip is left at all. The better the service, the higher the tip. Unless the service is literally perfect, I never tip more than 10% of the bill. Much like the harder teachers in school, I never give an easy "A." My assessment is honest.Daniel:A tip is a "thank you," but in truth, a tip is payment for service. 20% is a standard tip. Servers deserve it for their hard work. Restaurants will never pay more for labor unless they are forced to do so by new laws. Tips make up about 97% of a server´s total income. Those tips are needed for survival. So, before servers are paid a living wage, tip 20%.Kate:Why should I pay the difference between what the restaurant is willing to pay the employee and what an acceptable wage is? I do pay 20%, but I hate it. A friend of mine left Europe for New York City, found a job in a restaurant there and ended up making $5,500 a month. Enough above minimum wage? How about miners, construction workers, resident doctors, etc? Do they get tipped?Patricia:18-20% for good service is today´s standard. The restaurant and its employees are too polite to tell you this or to put it on their menus, but that is their expectation and you need to understand that. I believe it is good manners to respect this. To do otherwise is to be openly rude. If you disagree, you are wise to eat elsewhere, as you are hurting a hardworking professional.Michael:Tipping has gotten out of control. I always had thought it was 15%, and now suddenly servers have made it 20%. I tip 15%, and that´s it. If the service is really superior, then I work higher from there. Interesting to be told, "If you can´t afford to tip 20%, then you should eat at home." If all those people stayed away, the restaurant would not even be in business, Now match the name of each person (36-40) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.A. It´s rude not to tip.B. I do tip, though I don´t like it.C. Tipping shouldn´t be compulsory.D. Tips are essential to servers´ survival.E. If you don´t tip, you are punishing the server.F. I think the current tipping standard is too high.G. My tip faithfully reflects how good the service is.第36题Richard___________第37题Daniel___________第38题Kate___________第39题Patricia___________第40题Michael___________上一题下一题(41~45/共5题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following text from which five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences A-G the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text (41-45). There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It´s difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat.__41__Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria and TB combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world´s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world´s most populous continent.__42__Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the word there are only a tiny number of people who don´t have enough to eat.There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars, droughts, floods, and the overuse of farming land.__43__Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around.__44__In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food.__45__The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.A. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution.B. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.C. All these factors affect food production.D. It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger.E. In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger.F. Those places need far more food than they actually get.G. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat.第41题第42题第43题第44题第45题上一题下一题I can´t believe the kind of rubbish that some people call art.

Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words.第57题Dear Sally,It was amazing to see your dance performance last weekend. I felt so proud of you when your teacher and schoolmates congratulated you upon your completion of the performance.While you continue to enjoy the moment, I´d like to share with you a small quote from Abraham Lincoln, "This, too, shall pass away." I want these words to be your guide at every turning point in your life.When you´re feeling very proud of yourself at an achievement, knowing no bounds at that moment, remember that "This, too, shall pass away."When you´re at a difficult moment in your life and don´t know what to do, find comfort in the same words—"This, too, shall pass away."I´m not saying that the ache of some losses and setbacks will completely go away from your life. In fact, often the memories of painful events will hit you unexpectedly like tons of bricks and take your breath away years after they happen.But, like all humans, you have an almost infinite capacity to adapt to life´s changes and a great ability to bounce back from trying times. This understanding should give you a spark of hope when you´re in a season of despair; it should also build up your confidence for taking risks in the future.Sally, our lives are made up of several peaks and several valleys. That´s the nature of life. Live each moment as it comes. And always remember "This, too, shall pass away."Love,Papa___________上一题交卷交卷答题卡答案及解析(1~5/共10题)Listening ComprehensionDirections: This section is designed to test your ability to understand spoken English.

AThe White House has announced plans to allow visitors to take photos and use social media during public tours of the building for the first time in 40 years. In previous years, the public was banned from taking photographs with camera phones inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. However, visitors will now have the chance of taking the perfect selfie (自拍)as long as it’s not with a selfie stick at the White House,since the ban has been abolished.First Lady Michelle Obama made the announcement about the change of policy in a video posted to her Twitter account. “If you've been on a White House tour, chances are that you may have seen this sign,” she said holding up a piece of paper. “Well, not any more,” she said smiling as she tore the sign apart, which had been displayed during tour hours.The White House said in a statement, “Guests ar e now welcome to take photos throughout the White House tour route and keep those memories for a lifetime. " The long-standing ban ends on July 1st, and from that point on guests will be able to start using camera phones.Embracing the increasing importance of social media, the White House is even encouraging people who pay a visit to the house to share their experiences on Twitter using the tag “White House Tour”. Official guidelines state that guests will be able to use phone cameras with a lens (镜头)of three inches or less.But the White House warns that visitors must ensure that their photography doesn’t interrupt the enjoyment of other guests on the tour. While it gives no specific reason for the sudden change, there are still a few things that guests are not permitted to do. For instance, video cameras, including iPads and camera sticks, are not allowed for the moment.21. Which of the following will be allowed for photography in the White House?A. Camera phones.B. Four^inch lenses.C. Selfie sticks.D. iPads.22. We can learn from the passage that_.A. the photo ban in the White House annoyed visitorsB. the first lady plays a key role in changing the policyC. visitors can take photos in the White House as they likeD. the sign torn apart by Michelle Obama read “NO PHOTOS”23. Where can we most probably read the passage?A. In a travel guide.B. In a government report.C. In a newspaper.D. In a photography magazine.BMany people today do not enjoy grocery shopping, but the experience we have is still many times better than that of the past.Gone are the days when consumers paid higher prices for the advantage of a painfully slow shopping experience. In addition to lower prices, supermarkets also offer shoppers added convenience and much quicker service.In the old days, grocery shopping was quite a bit troublesome. Consumer-sized packages did not exist,so a clerk had to measure out the exact amount you needed for everything you bought. This system cost much labor and therefore was rather expensive. On top of that, the entire experience was extremely time-consuming as, much like buying meat at a butcher shop, the number of shoppers that a store could serve at the same time was limited by the size of its staff. The high labor costs and poor efficiency (效率)were quite a problem for both the industry and its public.The supermarket is a large departmentalized retail store, offering “one-stop shop” convenience with housewares, magazines,beauty products, and much more in addition to the food items sold by traditional stores. Need soap to go with your newspaper and bread? The supermarket saves you time by providing all three items under one roof. Along with added convenience comes added efficiency.Shoppers can now fetch what they want from shelves instead of waiting for service. This in turn reduces the need for additional staff, helping owners to cut costs greatly and to pass the savings back to the consumer. In fact, supermarkets pass so much of the savings back that their margins are razor-thin —only 1 to 3 percent —so to make a profit, they must rely on extremely high turnover rates and keeping operating expenses low, for example, by not offering delivery for one. The result is a quick and painless shopping experience with very reasonable prices.24. Which of the following is listed as a disadvantage of traditional grocery stores?A. Fewer staff members.B. Less shopping time.C. Smaller trading profits.D. Higher operating costs.25. The underlined word “margins” means_.A. savingsB. pricesC. profitsD. expenses26. Supermarkets don’t offer delivery for one because_.A. they want to keep costs downB. it isn’t a good way to attract consumersC. there is no demand for such a serviceD. it’s the major cause o f low efficiency27. The passage mainly aims to_•A. introduce the origin of the supermarketB. discuss the disadvantages of traditional grocery storesC. explain why the general public hate grocery shoppingD. outline the advantages of supermarkets over traditional groceriesCIt was days or even weeks since I had been left on the island. My only companion was a dog called Philly which had survived the shipwreck. Memories of what happened were still fresh.The magnificence of the ship had given us all a false sense of security. As the first signs of the storm started, our captain announced it,s nothing much, just another storm. Yet, he was wrong! The storm hit the ship so badly that large holes were made at the sides of the ship. As the freezing water started rushing in, our ship was consumed quickly by the dark water.My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. Are you hungry? I spoke my first words ever since the shipwreck occurred. Woof, woof! Barked Philly enthusiastically. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too. I could not remember when my last meal was, probably a ten-course dinner on the ship. As I had never fished before, I thought maybe 1 could try something simpler, like picking fruits. With Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked into the forest on the island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this island? I wondered. As we were looking for fruit trees,we chanced upon one that bore yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking—we had company. It was a dark-skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and grass. I backed away from her, afraid that she would be aggressive. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us. Pointing her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly.I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying. Signaling to us to follow her,she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end of the small path, there was a small village. Tears of joy filled my eyes.28. What happened to the ship the writer had been on?A. It was frozen in the sea.B. It was turned over by the storm.C. It was deserted because it was insecure.D. It sank due to the damage caused by the storm.29. According to the passage, which of the following can best describe Philly?A. Active and brave.B. Caring but impatient.C. Smart and loyal.D. Noisy but enthusiastic.30. Why did the writer walk into the forest?A. To take shelter from the storm.B. To go to a small village.C. To find someone for help.D. To look for something to eat.31. The woman most probably tried to tell the writer that_.A. the fruit tree wasn’t the best choiceB. the fruit was unfit for eatingC. the writer wasn’t allowed to pick the fruitD. she wasn’t afraid of the writerDHappiness is in your genes, it seems,according to a research that shows the more people in a country who have a particular gene, the happier the nation will be. The FA AH gene, the DNA in question, makes a protein that affects feelings of pleasure and pain. People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls.The researchers believe that the finding can help explain why some of the world’s poorest nations are also the happiest. The team from Bulgaria looked at whether there was a connection between the level of the FAAH gene in a population and the number of people who said they were very happy in the global study of life satisfaction. Sweden, one of the happiest countries in Europe and in the world, has lots of happy DNA. Some 26. 3 per cent of Swedes have the happiness gene,compared to 23 per cent of the British,21 per cent of the French and 20 per cent of Germans. The happiness gene is even rarer in southern Europe, where it is found in 18 per cent of Greeks and just 12 per cent of Italians. In contrast, the people in Iraq and Jordan are among the least likely to rate themselves as very happy and also have the lowest levels of the gene.But the gene and optimism don’t always go hand in hand. For instance,Russians score very low on happiness, despite having the right DNA, the Journal of Happiness Studies reports. Climatic differences are also found to be closely associated with national differences in happiness. Study co-author Michael Minkov said,“We can not ice the high occurrence of the gene in equatorial(赤道的)and tropical environments in South America and Africa, and the lower occurrence of it around the Mediterranean Sea than in Northern Europe. "“Genetics is not the only determining factor (因素)of happiness,"A spokesman for the journal’s publisher said, “The economic and political difficulties continuously experienced by Eastern European nations contribute to the very low happiness scores of Russians. Nations not blessed with the right DNA aren’t necessari ly miserable —happiness can still rise and fall for other reasons. ”32. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to_.A. happinessB. life satisfactionC. the protein in questionD. the FAAH gene33. Which country has the highest percentage of the happiness genes?A. Greece.B. Germany.C. Britain.D. Iraq.34. What can we infer from the text?A. Climate has much to do with happiness.B. The poorest countries are actually the happiest.C. Genetics matters most to determine happiness.D. Russians are not happy since they lack happy DNA.35. The best title for the text is_.A. Researches on Genetic ScienceB. Factors to Affect HappinessC. Reasons for National DifferencesD. The Happiest Countries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。
