1．任务型阅读
I stood at the edge of the cliff. The wind stung my eyes, cutting into my skin. Dark-feathered birds circled the air, swooping (俯冲) low over the ocean every now and then to catch their dinner. Hundreds of feet below, the deep ocean beat against the rough sandy shore. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with excitement — and at the same time, fear.
Behind me, I heard the rest of the crew start to mutter. I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the lead actors in the film Dangerous Things, and this scene was right in the middle of the climax (故事的高潮). It was vital that this went right.
The director had talked to me about getting a stunt double (替身演员), but I'd persuaded him that I could handle the dive. I'd taken a diving course a few years ago, and I'd been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old. I had been pretty confident that I could do this — up till now.
Someone called out, “Ceria, you don't have to do this! Are you sure you want to dive?” It was one of the producers, Callie Evans. I knew I couldn't turn back now. I couldn't bear to see the disappointed look on the director's face when he was told that I couldn't do it.
At that moment, all my fears and worries broke free. The expectation of adventure and victory seemed to move all the hesitation. I swooped downwards. The air on either side of me cut into my extended arms. I knew that this wonderful feeling of flight would only last a few seconds, yet time seemed to slow down so I could hear the thrilled whoops of my crew and a round of applause that seemed to echo in my pounding ears.

2．阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Why not carry on her good work？
I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university？I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.
By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, traveling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sicknees. Why did she write that？Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice？I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.
Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time. That
was a generation when girls' education was always placed second to boys. Was she so much cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day's work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at a medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work？It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entrance examinations, and ……
（1）When and where did the author read the article about Lin Qiaozhi？（no more than 5 words）
（2）For what purpose did Lin Qiao zhi write a little book about how to look after babies？（no more than 20 words）
（3）What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean？（no more than 10 words）
（4）What does the author think are the most important qualities that a successful doctor should have？（no more than 5 words）
（5）Do you think the author will study at a medical college？Why or why not？（no more than 20 words）
【答案】（1）On the Internet/computer one evening.
（2）To help the women in the countryside who could not reach a doctor if they had an emergency.
（3）Girls' education wasn't attached importance to compared with boys'.
OR: Boys always receive better education than girls.
（4）Kindness and consideration.
（5）Open.

4．Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
In business, there is a speed difference: It's the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. ________
In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What's more, the firms that “slowed do wn to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.
________ They thought differently about what "slower" and "faster" mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed
(reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.
In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. ________ And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. ________ That kind of strategy must come from the top.
A. How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better?
B. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.
C. More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong.

6．任务型阅读
"Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they're given after all. Choices can be hard."
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30, and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't and I wasn't sure what to expect. She told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I had been a garage inventor. I had always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him that I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me and finally said, "That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice，but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't
think I would regret trying and failing. And I suspected that I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less secure path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.
（1）What inspired the author to start Amazon 16 years ago? (No more than 15 words)
（2）How did the author's wife respond to his crazy idea of building an online bookstore? (No more than 10 words)
（3）What was the attitude of the author's boss towards his starting a company online? (No more than 10 words)
（4）What's your understanding of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 15 words)
（5）What is the most important factor when you make your career choice? Give your reasons. (No more than 20 words)
【答案】（1）The fact that the Internet usage was growing sharply / fast per year. That the Internet usage was growing at 230 percent per year./The fact that more and more people were using the Internet.
（2）She responded by telling me to go for it / my dream. She wanted / inspired me to follow my passion.
（3）He thought it a good idea but unsuitable for me./He didn't support his idea (to start a company online)./He wasn't in favor of his idea (to start a company online). He held a negative attitude towards his idea.
（4）For all of us, our choices decide / determine who we are finally. For all of us, our choices determine what we get finally./For all of us, our choices have a great effect on our life / future finally.
（5）Interest, without which I can't devote myself to the career and overcome the challenge./Better career prospects. (A good pay.) I hope to choose a career that can lead me to a bright future.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者16年看到互联网的迅猛增长因此有了创办亚马逊的想法，对此想法作者的妻子表示支持作者追求自己的梦想和激情，而作者的老板则持反对态度，最终作者选择了一条不太安全的道路来追寻我的激情，作者也为自己的选择感到自豪。

我从来没有见过或听说过任何东西发展得这么快，而建立一个拥有数百万种图书的网上书店的想法让我非常兴奋。

可知促使作者在16年前创办了亚马逊是因为互联网的使用正以每年迅猛的速度增长，互联网使用率以每年230个百分点的速度增长以及越来越多的人使用互联网的事实。

故答案为The fact that the Internet usage was growing sharply / fast per year. That the Internet usage was growing at 230 percent per year./The fact that more and more people were using the Internet.。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”She told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I had been a garage inventor. I had always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.“她告诉我应该去。

当我还是个小男孩的时候，我就是一个车库发明家。

我一直想成为一名发明家，她希望我追随自己的激情。

可知作者的妻子对他建立网上书店的疯狂想法是告诉作者去追求自己的梦想和激情。

故答案为She responded by telling me to go for it / my dream. She wanted / inspired me to follow my passion.。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的”He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened care fully to me and finally said,’That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job.‘”他带我在中央公园散步了很长一段时间，仔细地听我说，最后他说:“这听起来真是个好主意，但对那些还没有找到好工作的人来说，这是个更好的主意。

作者的选择决定了作者最终会得到什么，对他的生活或未来也有很大的影响。

故可推测划线句子的意思是：对于我们所有人来说，我们的选择最终决定了我们是谁，决定了我们最终会得到什么，最终对我们的生活/未来有很大的影响。

故答案为For all of us, our choices decide / determine who we are finally. For all of us, our choices determine what we get finally./For all of us, our choices have a great effect on our life / future finally.。

（5）这是一道开放性题目，要求说出自己选择职业时最重要的因素是什么，答案言之有理即可。

7．请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

A fresh-faced batch of teenagers just began a new school year, but will they get the most out of it? In the mornings, many are forced to get to school much too early. And at night, screens are a temptation that's hard to resist. This double whammy (双重灾难) is a perfect lesson in sleep deprivation (剥夺).
Three out of every four students in grades 9 to 12 fail to sleep the minimum of eight hours that the American Academy of Medicine recommends for their age group. In most cases, insufficient sleep results in reduced attention, preventing students' progress and lowering grades. More alarmingly, sleep deprivation may lead to physical and emotional problems.
It is important to understand why teenagers have a particularly hard time getting enough sleep,
and what adults need to do to help. First, a reminder of the basic biology: Adolescents are no longer the morning larks of their younger years. They become rewired as night owls, staying awake later and then sleeping in. This is mostly driven by changes in the way the brain responds to light.
New technology habits aren't helping. More teenagers now turn to activities involving screens at night. The growth in screen time is particularly problematic for sleep. The blue light emitted by LEDs, TVs, tablets and smartphones suppresses the body's secretion (分泌) of melatonin, the hormone that signals it's time to sleep. Overdosing on screens at night effectively tells the brain it's still daytime, delaying the body's cues to sleep even further.
Parents should inform their kids of the time that can be spent on screens, and praise children who show signs of regulating their own media consumption. In the hour before bedtime, there should be a suspension on bright lights in the home, avoiding devices and harsh LED bulbs in kitchens and bathrooms.
In 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that middle and high schools start no earlier than 8: 30 a. m., a policy now backed by the American Medical Association and many other health organizations.
Parents also need to join forces with community leaders, sleep scientists, health professionals and educators to put school start times on the local, then state agendas.
Whenever schools have managed the transition to a later start time, students get more sleep, attendance goes up, grades improve and there is a significant reduction in car accidents.
