完形填空
The pride of some people gets in their way to such an extent that it completely destroys their friendships and their lives。

Some people have the bad 1 to work under a manager who constantly criticizes them but 2 take criticism himself.Andy was 3 such a manager.He managed a team of twelve fairly inexperienced 4 and，in his view，he was the 5 competent lawyer in the organization。

He micromanaged them，organizing and controlling all the 6 of their work，which was not，as you can 7 ，the most efficient way of handling 8 people.They were 9 about what they saw as undue interference(不当干涉)。

Andy chaired the weekly team meetings and made all the decisions。

He didn’t encourage 10 by others.When the lawyers needed to 11 the finer points of a case with him,Andy was always tied up in the meetings and，in any event, far too 12 。

Unsurprisingly,the team’s performance was 13 ,their advice to clients(委托人） was inconsistent and they 14 far too many cases。

Turnover in the team was high 15 people sought out better jobs and left rather than 16 Andy。

Andy is still there，hiding behind his pride，performing a mediocre（平庸的） job with an 17 team.
There are,disappointingly，too many people like Andy in management jobs who let their own 18 get in the way of dealing with people.If Andy showed a little humility(谦逊），was open to suggestions and discussions and made himself 19 for regular one-to-one meetings with his team，the team's individual and collective performance would
improve，the team members would be 20 and less likely to look for other employment，and Andy would really have something to be proud of.

Imagine trying to test the memory of the blue whale—the biggest animal that exists or has ever existed，a 190—ton behemoth that dwarfs(使相形见绌） even the largest dinosaur,a leviathan that is rarely seen except when it comes up for air。

How would you subject such a creature to a psychological test?
You can’t，exactly.But there is another way to get a sense of how
their minds work。

For years,scientists have been fitting radio tags to these giants to track their whereabouts(下落)。

By analyzing a decade’s worth of that data，Briana Abrahms from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has shown that these animals fine—tune the paths of their migrations to track the historical abundances of krill—the tiny crustaceans that they eat.Rather than finding where their prey(捕获物） currently is,they go after the places where their prey was in years past。

Their migrations，in other words，are guided by memory。

So what happens in a world where memory might lead them away from the right path？
Countless species of animals migrate over long distances to exploit far-flung sources of food，but these voyages aren’t just about getting to the final destination.The journey itself can be a sort of food tour，too.Migrating animals often adjust the pace and timing of their movements to hit pulses of seasonal food that springs up along their path.The ecologist Sandra van der Graaf described this as “surfing the green wave" after first observing it among barnacle geese.Others have found the same pattern among wasps，elk，mule deer,and brown bears。

The blue whales of the North Pacific spend their winters in their breeding grounds off California and Costa Rica。

In spring，they swim up the coast of North America toward the food-rich summer waters of the Pacific Northwest.They could make the journey in two months （and they do,on the reverse trip back south）.Instead，they take twice that time,pausing to gorge（狼吞虎咽) themselves on blooms of krill that appear along the way。

It’s a leisurely season-long tour of a continent-wide buffet line。

Scientists can get a good sense of this changing buffet by measuring the concentrations of chlorophyll in different patches of ocean.This green pigment（色素) reflects the amount of plankton，which in turn is
eaten by krill.The more chlorophyll there is，the more food a blue whale might find.
By comparing chlorophyll counts to whale movements，Abrahms and her team expected to see that “they follow the timing of their prey,as it becomes available”.But they were surprised to learn that the animals very rarely tracked contemporary waves of krill。

Instead,their movements were strongly correlated(相关联） with 10-year historical averages of chlorophyll.Put it this way: You could predict a blue whale's movements with far more accuracy by looking at where their food has been than where their food currently is.
23。

How are the scientists carrying out a psychological test on the blue whales?
A.They wait for the blue whales to approach the sea surface.
B。

They induce the blue whales to accept the memory test。

C.They count on a tracking technique to accumulate data。

D。

They compare the blue whales with the large dinosaurs。

答案C
解析细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“For years， scientists have been fitting radio tags to these giants to track their whereabouts（下落)。

By analyzing a decade's worth of that data.。

"可知，多年来科学家们一直在给蓝鲸安装无线电标签来追踪它们的行踪，然后再分析数据,由此可知，科学家是依靠追踪技术积累数据来对蓝鲸进行测试的, 故C项正确。

24.What might migrating animals do if they are misguided by memory?
A.They might try their best to get to the final destination.
B.They might fall back on the seasonal food along the way。

C。

They might accelerate the pace to cover longer distances.
D.They might surf the ocean wave to save time and energy。

答案B
解析推理判断题。

根据第三段中的“Migrating animals often adjust the pace and timing of their movements to hit pulses of seasonal food that springs up along their path。

”可知，迁徙动物经常调整它们的移动速度和时间，以适应沿途出现的季节性食物，由此可知，当迁徙动物被记忆误导时，它们会转而依靠沿途的季节性食物，故B项正确.
25。

What does the “continent—wide buffet line”in Paragraph 4 indicate？
A.The breeding grounds of the blue whales are lacking in food。

B。

Chlorophyll can be defined as the beginning of the food chain。

C.Contemporary waves of krill can reflect whale movements。

D。

The season change determines the hunting route of the whales。

答案D
解析推理判断题.根据第四段末句“It’s a leisurely season—long tour of a continent-wide buffet line.”可知，这是一个整个大陆自助餐沿线的季节之旅，由此可知，季节的变化决定了鲸的捕猎路线，故D项正确。

C
The precious gifts of children's cards and drawings Last week，my eight—year-old daughter spent a considerable amount of time drawing some lovely，if somewhat abstract，pictures，which she dedicated to me，with love。

I received them gratefully and told her how much I admired them.This week，however，I don’t know where they are.In the dustbin，probably，like thousands of their gifts，they are not only from her but also her three sisters.
The precious things we throw away are so common as to be
unremarkable。

Drawings are just the tip of the iceberg。

The toys they loved as infants,the little pink pig or the one—eyed doll—they too find their way to the dump（垃圾场)。

This must be the fate of these concrete manifestations(证明) of memory,otherwise there would be no room to move in the house or space to open the drawers.You can imagine them all there in a pile，all the beautiful，creative，lovingly crafted small rocks，sculptures made from sticks,paper masks and shaking portraits of the human face in crayon.And then you can imagine setting fire to the pile，for this is what we must do.
This is life.Yet hurting as it is，it is better than the alternative of eagerly storing the past，for the keeping of memory has become a modern phenomenon。

A selfie（自拍照） is a form of memory like every recorded digital image and sound.We are constantly working to keep a life that is at heart temporary and lost at every second.
The more modern we become，the greater this tendency shows as we try to protect our disappearing world with technology instead of crayons and paint。

We are constantly catching what is always disappearing.Our days are our products，our gifts，our offerings from nature，or life，if you prefer。

And we throw them away or we catch them fruitlessly，when the only thing to do with them properly is to honour them as they depart.
I am not a taker of photos or a keeper of souvenirs,but I do have
a board for my favorite greeting cards—always hand-drawn—from my children.They are a source of great comfort to me sometimes when I am feeling like a bad father or a lost soul。

Of course they themselves are fossils,but they tell me that although perhaps I never really was the “best dad in the world”，someone once thought so，if only for the time it took to create those pictures and those words.
These cards and drawings and sculptures that children produce in abundance from their free-flowing hearts with their unashamed hands—how remarkable they are。

Why do we as adults stop creating such things for one another—for friends or partners？ Instead we give shop-bought gifts，consumer goods purchased on demand。

These are not really offerings； they are taxes required by custom。

The gifts my children give me are more often than not unconnected to any special day because for them,every day is special and therefore worthy of gifts，of the expression of love and giving of time without guilt or of a sense of responsibility。

Just as we throw most of these handmade works away，we throw our days away，the days we spend with our children,perhaps not noticing their short moment and their beauty.Days，in other words，are what we take for granted,for although all are lost,some are honoured and some are acknowledged for what they are—extremely precious。

Not often enough，though.Not often enough。

26。

From the text,we can infer that the author's daughters .
A.always leave rooms in a mess
B。

like making gifts by themselves
C。

are fond of drawing the tip of iceberg
D.love to throw away what they’ve created
答案B
解析推理判断题。

通读全文可推知作者的女儿酷爱自制礼物，故选B。

A项文中没有提到,也没有推理依据，故排除;第二段中“Drawings are just the tip of the iceberg。

"意为“绘画作品只是冰山一角”，并非喜欢画冰山一角,故排除C项；根据第三段内容及其中的“...otherwise there would be no
room to move in the house or space to open the drawers。

”可知，扔掉手工品是不得已而为之，排除D项。

27。

What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A。

Working hard to create more things.
B.Storing the past quite eagerly。

C。

Clearing away precious things of memory。

D.Recording images and sounds for memory。

答案C
解析代词指代题。

上文提到“setting fire to the pile（将过去的东西付之一炬）”,后文又提到“storing the past(储存过去的东西）"，可知this 在此应该是指清除记忆中珍贵的东西（作品)。

故选C。

28。

Why does the author collect the handmade cards from his children?
A.Because they make him more creative.
B.Because they are recognition from his children.
C.Because they remind him that he's a bad father.
D。

Because they show children’s imaginative ability.
答案B
解析推理判断题.根据倒数第三段最后一句“Of course they themselves are fossils，but they tell me that although perhaps I never really was the ‘best dad in the world’，someone once thought so,if only for the time it took to create those pictures and those words。

”可知,尽管作者不认为自己是个好父亲,但是孩子们在给他她们手工做的卡片时还是认可他的，由此推断作者保存孩子们的卡片的原因是这些卡片是他被孩子们认可的标志。

故选B。

29。

What is the author’s attitude towards shop—bought gifts?
A.Supportive.
B.Concerned.
C.Unfavourable。

D.Hopeful。

答案C
解析观点态度题。

根据倒数第二段最后两句“These are not really
offerings； they are taxes required by custom。

The gifts my children give me are more often than not unconnected to any special day because for them，every day is special and therefore worthy of gifts，of the expression of love and giving of time without guilt or of a sense of responsibility.”可知，作者认为从商店买来的礼物没有孩子们自制的手工艺品更具价值和纪念意义,这就表明他对从商店买礼物是不赞成的，故选C。

30。

The author thinks adults should keep their children’s handmade works because .
A.they are evidence of life with children
B。

they show that life is too short to waste
C.they can be shown to friends and partners
D.they are bought at a high price from shops
答案A
解析推理判断题。

根据最后一段第一句中“Just as we throw most of these handmade works away，we throw our days away，the days we spend with our children.。

”可推知，作者认为我们扔掉孩子们的手工制品就相当于扔掉了与他们在一起生活的经历和记忆。

故选A。

31.According to the author,nowadays people 。

A。

always try to protect the world
B.always honour the disappearing world
C.always try to ignore the beauty of gifts
D。

always try to catch rather than create days
答案D
解析细节理解题.根据第五段第一、二句“The more modern we become，the greater this tendency shows as we try to protect our disappearing world with technology instead of crayons and paint.We are constantly catching what is always disappearing。

”可知，如今人们用技术手段（比如拍照)记录过去，而不是通过手工制作，创造性地记录有意义的日子.故选D.。
