AFrom my earliest memories, I felt as if my mother was preparing me for something special. When entering a room, her entire focus was on me. I felt as if I was the center of her universe great feeling. Offering her the same respect, I attentively listened to her stories without interrupting；I tried to return that feeling of being truly loved.Even though there was always deep affection flowing between us, she wasn* t a softy. She worked hard and expected her children to do the same. I began working in our little comer grocery store by age eight and managed it by the age of twelve. She appreciated my hard work and treated me as an equal. I learned that I could do anything if I tried hard enough. I learned to depend on myself.My mother always supported my decisions, but also shared her concerns. When I decided to retire early from teaching to teach and write about etiquette (礼仪）,she announced her concerns. She worried that there wasn’t a market for it-ray mother, always the business person. However, by the end of our conversation she encouraged me with aWith your training and love of people, you are perfect for this.”By example, my mother taught me how to show respect for others. She gave me my listening skills, my sympathy and my manners. Through her, I learned to be strongs to follow my heart andto work hard. I never give up. If not for this, I wouldn, t be a successful business owner and good friend to all. •—21.What was the author's mother worried about according to Paragraph 3?A.The author would lose her job.B.The author would live a popr Bfe.C.The author9 s books would be hard to sell.D.The author wouldn * t be good at business.22.What can we learn from the text?A.The author had a brother and a sister.B.The author9 a mother was very strict with her.C.T he author became a well-known writer at last.D.The author began to manage the store by age eight.23.What does the author mainly tell us in the text?A.Her dear mother’s life.B.

She was a pioneer for women in business, building a big cosmetics(化妆品）empire. In 1939, Ash became a salesperson for Stanley Home Products. She was so good at making sales that she was hired away by another company, World Gifts, in 1952. Ash spent a little more than a decade at the company, but she quit after watching yet another man that she had trained get promoted (提升）a- bove her and earn a much higher salary than hers.After her bad e3q>erience in the traditional workplace, Ash set out to create her own business aged 45. With her son, she opened a small store in Dallas and had nine salespeople working for her. Ash tried to make her business different by using encouraging programs. She wanted everyone in the organization to have the opportunity to benefit from their achievements. She believed in the golden rule：“Treat others as you want to be treated.”At the heart of this profitable organization was Ash, s enthusiastic personality. She was knownfor her love of the color pink and it could be found everywhere. She seemed t osincerely value heradvisors, and once said, “People are a company 's greatest weal th”While she stepped down from her position as CEO of the company in 1987, Ash remained an active part of the business. She set up the Mary Kay Charitable Foundation in 1996, which sup-ports cancer research and efforts to end home violence. In 2000, she was named the most out-standing woman in business in the 20lh century by Lifetime Television.She died on November 22,.2001, in Dallas, Texas.

Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.A few years ago, I was dining out with a person who kept going on and on about himself, completely unaware of the fact that I was sitting there in unhappiness. It ^rasn ’ t his companythat disappointed me. I was recovering from a bad grade in my study. I could have colapsed(崩溃)in tears right there at the table.When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for.” My friend and I didn, t have an idea how it happened. Then I remembered a man coining in out of the comer of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a glass of wine, stayed for maybe ten minutes and then left. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman who was in here a while ago paid for you.Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 0.1 miles to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall” ；I thought I couldn* t move another muscle. Out of nowhere, a teenager jogged up next to me and said, “What，s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It, s just around the comer! You can do it!” And he ran w ith me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn, t even supposed to be in the race that day. He was running in place of someone else.I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels, that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like this?28.Why did the author say she was in unhappiness?A.Because she got into trouble with her friend.B.Because she couldn’t enjoy her meal quietly.C.Because her friend complained so much.D.Because she was doing poorly in her study.29.What do you think of the man paying for the meal?A.He was generous and warm-hearted.B.He knew the author well and always helped her.C.He showed his kindness to his girlfriend.D.He liked making fun of others.30.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author .A.still can ’t believe her experience todayB.feels grateful for the help she receivedC.thinks everyone is an angelD.often helps those in need31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.The kindness of strangersB.An unpleasant friendC.Two unbelievable experiencesD.Hitting the wallDA study showed a 12% drop in the first year after the law to stop smoking in enclosed(封闭的)public _ces came into force. The author says there is growing evidence that many people are choosing smoke-free homes as well.Asthma (哮喘病）UK says the findings are “encouraging”. Presenting their findings in the journal Pediatrics, they said the number of children admitted to hospital with severe asthma attacks was rising by more than 2 % a year before the restrictions were introduced in July 2007. Taking that into account, they calculated the fall in admissions in the next 12 months was 12%, and a further 3% in each of the following two years. The fall was seen among boys and girls of all ages, across wealthy and poor neighborhoods, in cities and in rural areas.In the past, much of the argument on the smoke-free law centred on protection of bar workers from passive smoke. At the time many critics said smokers would respond by lighting up more at home-harming the health of their families.In fact, more people are insisting on smoke—free homes. We increasingly think it’s because people see the benefits of smoke-free laws in public places such as restaurants and they want to carry out them. This benefits children because they’ re less likely to be exposed to second-hand smoke. ^ .These findings reinforce (强化)evidence on the effect of smoke-free, law from studies in North America and Scotland, which also showed a fall in hospital admissions for children with severe asthma attacks. The law in England has also resulted in fewer admissions for heart attacks. Emily Humphreys from Asthma UK said the need now was to do more to prevent young people from taking up smoking.32.After the smoke-free law was introduced into England,-A. more children developed asthmaB. smokers lighted up more at homeC.children could also enjoy its benefitsD. workers suffered frompassive smoke33.The smoke-free law in England also reduced the risk of developing •A.a high feverB.a terrible headacheC.stomach cancerD.a heart attack34. According to Emily, now they need toA.prevent tobacco from being soldB.prevent the young from taking up smokingC.p ut up more no-smoking signs in public placesrm people of the dangers of second-hand smoke35.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?A.To introduce the benefits of the smoke-free law.B.To describe how to help children with asthma.C.To show that smoking is harmful to our health.D.To give advice on how to give up smoking.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。

One solution is to ban phones and computers from the classroom. Another solution is to engage students with online tools that will help them complete assignments while still using electronic equipment. Here are some online tools to hold their attention.PreziPresentations are an important part of the curriculum but let’s face it. PowerPoint isn’t terribly engaging. Prezi allows students to create presentations that are more creative and exciting than what PPT has to offer. Not only will this make the presentation-creating process more interesting for students, it will also make watching presentations more interesting as well.TrelloBecause so many students are in the habit of multitasking, a good skill to teach them is how to organize and simplify their assignments. Trello is a free and super easy-to-use tool for students to create workflow charts. Multiple students can be added to the same board; great for teamwork on projects.Cold TurkeyCold Turkey is a useful tool to reduce the number of tasks that students can do at the same time on their computers. They probably won’t love this one because it limits their access to certain websites so that students can focus on their tasks. Even having students turn it on for half of a period for some focuses on in-class writing time will make a difference in terms of their productivity.White NoiseWhatever you want the students to engage in —activities, contents, assignments, etc. — they need to be able to focus, and classrooms aren’t always the easiest places to do that. White noise can not only drown out excess(过量) noise, but also help students k eep more concentrated, for there is less noise when they’re concentrating.21. What are these technology tools mainly used for?A .Helping students stay focused on their lessons.B. Banning electronic equipment from the classroom.C. Improving the students’ creativity in class.D. Discouraging too much use of online tools.22.Which tool is suitable for teamwork?A. White Nose.B. Cold Turkey.C. Trello. D .Prezi.23.Why might students dislike Cold Turkey?A .Because it is not practical for them at all.B. Because it makes some websites inaccessible.C. Because it greatly reduces their productivity.D. Because it prevents them surfing the Internet.BTom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure—a 120-page diary kept 190 years age by Deborah Logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James Green, the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man and praised her excellent English.The adventure of the lost book began on September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor（祖先）to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.Green told American Libraries he h ad the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay, Green began calling taxi company in the city, with no luck, “I’ve felt sick since then,” Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building.Tom Brennan received a reward（奖励）of $1,000, Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “It’s wonderful news. I’m on high”.24. This article mainly tells about the story of ________.A. a lost diaryB. Deborah LoganC. Cory LuxmooreD. the Library Company25. From the text, we learn that the diary is now owned by ________.A. Tom BrennanB. an unknown personC. a Philadelphia magazineD. the Library Company of Philadelphia26. Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to the diary?a. Tom Brennan found the book in an office building.b. The book was shown to James Green.c. Cory Luxmoore arrived from England.d. The book was left behind in a taxi.A. a. .b. c. dB. c. b. d. aC. a. c. d. bD. c. a.b. d27. What did Cory Luxmoore mean when he said “I’m on high”?A. I’m richB. I’m famousC. I’m excitedD. I’m lucky.CThey say the average person makes 35, 000 decisions a day. Yet in her new book, How Woman Decide, Therese Huston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fail to notice. “There’s a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers,”explains Therese, a psychologist from Seattle University. Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf: At one end, there were bestselling books about how to be a brilliant decision maker —all written by men and featuring interviews with men like athletes. At the other end were books aimed at women on gaining leadership skills and confidence.“Once those women are at the table, will their decisions be taken as seriously as men’s?”Therese wondered. “Men are respected as decision makers more than women, especially in the workplace, largely because there’s this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work.”So, Therese began to pick apart the stereotypes(固有印象) to see what scientific research had found. “Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision-making equally. The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years, teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys. Otherwise, there’s little difference between the genders.”However, there are some differences. “Women are more cooperative,” says Therese, “A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice. Women ask for input, which helps make better decisions. However, this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength.”Therese also found that during times of stress, men and women make different choices, and the outcomes are often better when women are involved.Study after study backs this view up. Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress, they react very differently.During their study, which involved playing a virtual gambling(赌博) game, they found that when the females became stressed, they made smart decisions-quitting while they were ahead or taking safe bets. But when the men became stressed, they did the opposite, risking everything for a slim chance of a big win.28. Why did Therese Huston write her book How Women Decide?A. Women are less respected as decision makers.B. Women are not equally treated in workplaces.C. Women are unable to make smart choices.D. Women are poor at making big decisions.29.

Great difference exists between the two genders in decision-making.DScientists in Rome have unveiled the first bionic（仿生的）hand with a sense of touch that can be worn outside a laboratory. The recipient, Almerina Mascarello, who lost her left hand in an accident nearly 25 years ago, said “It is almost like it is back again”.In 2014 the same international team produced the world’s first feeling bionic hand. But the sensory and computer equipment it was linked to was too large to leave the laboratory. Now the technology is small enough to fit in a backpack, making it portable.The prosthetic hand（假肢）has sensors that detect information about whether an object is soft or hard. These messages are linked to a computer in a backpack that converts these signals into a language the brain will understand. The information is relayed to A lmerina’s brain via tiny electrodes（电极）implanted in nerves in the upper arm. In tests Almerina – who was blindfolded – was able to tell whether the object she was picking up was hard or soft.Professor Silverstro Micera, a neuroengineer at EPFL in Lausanne and Sant’ Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa told me, “We are going more and more in the direction of science fiction movies like Luke Skywalker’s bionic hand in Star Wars –a fully controlled, fully natural, sensorised prosthesis, identical to the human hand.” A robotic prosthesis better than the human hand is still a long way off, but the team believe it might eventually be a reality.Almerina was able to keep the bionic hand for six months, but it has now been removed, as it is still a prototype. The scientific team say they hope to miniaturise （使小型化）the technology even further so that a sensory bionic hand can be commercialised. Almerina said that when the bionic hand is perfected, she would like it back for good.32. What did the underlined word “it” in Para. 1 refer to?A. The bionic handB. her lost handC. the sense of touchD. the accident33. What does Para. 3 mainly talk about?A. How the bionic hand is developed.B. How Almerina feels in the experiment.C. How the bionic hand works.D. How to use the bionic hand.34. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The world’s first bionic hand is not practical in terms of size.B. The researchers believe a robotic prosthesis will be better than the human hand.C. The researchers got the idea after being inspired by the film, Star Wars.D. We can hardly distinguish the bionic hand from a real one.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Almerina is still wearing the experimental hand.B. We can buy the bionic hand in the market.C. The scientist team is skeptical about the future of the bionic hand.D. Almerina will buy one after the bionic hand is perfected.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。
