A
Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner，friend，brother，sister or colleague，remember they could be helping to make you smarter. New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members，bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18. Scientific consensus(共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes，with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age.
After this point，IQ scores become steady. But James Flynn，professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand，argues that people can “upgrade”their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation(刺激) from other people is important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle—the more you use it，the stronger it gets”.However，the opposite is also true—so people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive(猛跌) as a result.
Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters. However，children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.
Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence，the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ，or allow it to fall，by ten points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends，and find an intellectually challenging job.
21.According to the text，it is commonly believed that .
A. people’s IQ levels fall as they age
B.it is wi se to share family members’ views
C. people can’t improve their intelligence during adulthood
D. doing something challenging is good for one’s intelligence
22. Which of the following can help improve one’s intelligence according to Professor Flynn?
A. Making many friends.
B. Staying with smart people.
C. Doing exercise every day.
D. Learning from brothers or sisters.
23. The purpose of the text is to .
A. inform
B. advertise
C. entertain
D. persuade
B
The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors (传感器) to “things”，such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then giving them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk”to the Internet. Networking company Cisco says that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending data by 2020.
But getting back to those cows, cars and refrigerators, what types of data might they actually send? Cows might send their locations or physical conditions. Cars might communicate low oil levels and automatically schedule their own maintenance (维修). And refrigerators might send owners text messages reminding them it's time to
buy milk and eggs.
The IoT will allow people to track things and processes like never before. Airplane manufacturers will be able to continuously track the condition of airplane parts, allowing them to do preventive (预防性的) maintenance and avoid costly downtime. Consumers could place smart devices in their homes to monitor energy usage and observe energy price changes in real time. That would allow people to change their habits and use electrical appliances during lower-priced hours.
Some critics fear that the IoT could end up being a fad (流行) that people lose interest in over time. Other critics are doubtful that companies making Internet­connected appliances will provide long­term software updates. If that happens, a refrigerator or washing machine that should last 10 years or more could last two or three due to software that's outdated.
Early this year, owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice reminding them of a charger plug needing to be fixed. Amazingly, owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an “over the air”wireless update. Customers confirmed the update by tapping on the car's touch screen to see that the Model S was running the latest software version. No trip to the dealer was required! Perhaps Tesla's remote fix is a sign of things to come. Someday soon, people's lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.
24．What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 & 3?
A．How the IoT works.
B．Why the IoT is so popular.
C．Who will benefit from the IoT.
D．What problems the IoT is facing.
25．The example of the Tesla Model S electric car is used to show ________. A．the complexity of the IoT
B．the convenience of the IoT
C．the value of the Tesla electric car
D．the popularity of the Tesla electric car
26．What's the author's attitude towards the future of the IoT?
A．Hopeful. B．Worried.
C．Doubtful. D．Disappointed.
27．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Fad is disappearing! B．It's time to change!
C．Internet is coming! D．It's all connected!
C
The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl, yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her，“How do you hear？”She responds, “How do you hear? Is it only with your ears？”For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also
how it is said.
It's important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫)．”If you miss something or you're not sure you've heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don't say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?
Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person true feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.
28．What's the writer's purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?
A．To give an example of wise words.
B．To introduce a world­famous musician.
C．To help explain the meaning of listening.
D．To encourage us to fight against disability.
29．What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?
A．It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.
B．People should know words can be used in many different ways.
C．English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.
D．The slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding. 30．What does the underlined word “sync”in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Match.B．Prove.
C．Describe. D．Analyze.
31．Which is the best title for this passage?
A．Speak While You Listen B．Listen Beyond Words
C．Read Between Lines D．Think as You Talk
D
In between running one of the world's largest charitable agencies and acting as Microsoft's technology advisor, Bill Gates manages to find time to read books, both long and short. Now Gates —who has been labeled a “greedy” reader —has
released a list of his favorite books. All of the books are standout reads, according to the billionaire, most of which are focused on business and economy.
Here are Bill's top four picks (with parts of his full review of each book)．
Business Adventures, by John Brooks
Brooks' collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gates' favorites. He re-read it again this year, labeling it the best business book he has ever read. “Shortly after we met, Warren Buffett lent me this collection of business articles from The New Yorker from the 1950s and 1960s. I loved them as much as he did. Brooks' insights (洞察力) into business have aged beautifully, and they are as true today as ever.”
Capital in the Twenty-First Century, by Thomas Piketty
Piketty's novel hit the shelves in August 2013 and sparked much discussion concerning income inequality throughout this year. Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non-fiction work to discuss the topic.
“As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondary points and policy prescriptions, I agree with his most important conclusions: inequality is a growing problem and governments should play a role in reducing it.”
How Asia Works, by Joe Studwell
Studwell's work, which was published in May 2014, addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth, and why other countries have failed to do the same.
“The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful. It provided ample food for thought for me as well as the whole Agriculture team at our foundation. And it left us thinking about whether parts of the Asian model can apply in Africa.”Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization, by Vaclav Smil
Smil's books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft's founder — one of his books makes Gates' list almost every year. Making the Modern World came out late in 2013 and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood and plastic.
“If anyone tries to tell you we're using fewer materials, send him this book. With his usual skepticism and his love of data, Smil shows how our ability to make things with fewer materials — say, soda cans that need less aluminum — makes them cheaper, which actually encourages more production.”
32．The books mentioned in the text are mainly about ________.
A．charity in the world
B．business and economy
C．poverty in the world
D．Bill Gates' life experience
33．Of the books, ________ is best praised by Bill Gates.
A．How Asia Works
B．Capital in the Twenty­First Century
C．Business Adventures
D．Making the Modern World：Materials and Dematerialization
34．Gates once had a personal discussion with the author of________.
A．Capital in the Twenty­First Century
B．Business Adventures
C．How Asia Works
D．Making the Modern World：Materials and Dematerialization
35．In How Asia Works, the author analyses ________.
A．why African agriculture cannot develop fast
B．how they can apply Asian economic model in African countries
C．why Asia is slow in agricultural development
D．how some Asian countries have rapidly grown in economy

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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

A garden that’s just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和)of its parts?36.But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.
●37
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料).38.However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall(回忆)your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important.39—how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth.40.Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.
A. Know why you garden
B. Find a good place for your own garden
C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters
D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have

参考范文：
Nowadays, we can see many people are watching their mobile phones in subway, restaurants, elevators, roads and so on. There is no denying that people who like the mobile phone are concerned about its attractive functions. Phubbers can’t stop sending messages, surfing the Internet, listening to music and even taking photos by using the mobile phone. Moreover, some people have less time to relax themselves. They make use of the time when they are on the way to school or other places to play mobile games.
However, phubbing disturbs not only our study but also our life. On the one hand, phubbers waste lots of time playing cell phone games and sending messages, particularly in class. Other people also complain they are disturbed when phones ring in classrooms. On the other hand, it can lead to health problems. For instance, using a mobile phone on the sofa can cause back and neck pain.
As far as I am concerned, it is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do cherish everything around us and appreciate the scenery ahead of us. What’s more, we should do more exercises and take part in real-life activities. In a word, only when we use the phone reasonably, can we realize the happiness of life. 答案解析：
语篇解读本文介绍了一个与传统认识不同的研究结论：人的智商在成年后还可以提高。

21.答案C解析细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood...The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18.”可知选C。

本文告知我们一个新的研究结论：人们的智商在成年后并不是一成不变的，多和聪明人在一起会有助于自己智商的提高。

故选A。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

文章介绍了什么是物联网——物联网指把各种物体与信息传感设备相结合形成一个巨大网络，其目的是方便用户识别和管理。

24.解析：选A段落大意题。

第二段是对“what types of data might they actually send？”的解释，而第三段进一步解释了物联网的功能，这些都是对物联网如何运转的介绍。

25.解析：选B推理判断题。

由倒数第二段的“owners of the Model S sat back while the company performed an ‘over the air’wireless update”可知，汽车车主只需要坐着等待就可以享受维修升级服务，故该事例说明了物联网的便捷性。

26.解析：选A作者态度题。

由最后一段的“Someday soon, people's lives might become a lot more efficient and convenient thanks to the IoT.”可知，作者对物联网的未来充满了希望。

27.解析：选D标题归纳题。

本文是对物联网的介绍——物联网指把各种物体与信息传感设备相结合形成一个巨大网络，其目的是方便用户识别和管理。

语篇解读：本文讲述了聆听的内涵。

我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意，并且要注意说话方式。

所以选项C正确。

29.解析：选D推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“It's important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知，准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。

因此，选项D“词语的细微差异可能导致误解”与Mark Twain所说的话意思相吻合。

30.解析：选A词义猜测题。

画线词前的修饰词these指代前一句中的“gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions”；再根据画线词后的“what they are saying, or do they tell a different story”可推断，match与画线词意思相近。

故选A。

31.解析：选B标题归纳题。

本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意。

所以选B。

根据第七段中的“addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth”可知，How Asia Works主要介绍了一些亚洲国家如日本、韩国和中国是如何快速发展经济的，故D项正确。

41.B解析：由下文的“...90 million live in Australia，Canada，New Zealand，South Africa...”“其他9千万住在澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰、南非……”，暗示出本题的答案为live。

42.D解析：因为上文提到“把英语作为母语的人数为3.65亿，其中2.75亿住在美国和英国”，此处应为“另外一部分”用the other。

即答案为other。

another 表示“三者或三者以上中的另一个”。

43.A解析：此处为where引导的定语从句，先行词为places。

当先行词为表示地点的名词，且引导词在定语从句中作状语时用where。

44.B解析：词组most of the time的意思是“大多数的时候”。

45.C解析：表示说英语的人具备相互理解的能力，应用can。

46.B解析：表示“说英语的”应用English­speaking。

spoken English的意思是“英语口语”。

47.B解析：add...to...是一个固定短语，意思是“把……加到……”。

48.A解析：对于最先到达该地的英国人来说，这儿的一切是“全新的”，即答案为new。

49.B解析：use“使用”。

本句的意思是“他们用kangaroo一词来称呼他们以前从未见到的一种动物”。

50.B解析：ago表示“在……以前，更早的时候”，常用于一般过去时；before 表示“在……以前”，常用于过去完成时。

句子的时态为过去完成时，因此答案为before。

51.B解析：native的意思是“本土的”，与初到此地的英国人相比，以前在这儿居住的人们是native。

52.A解析：从下文的“...meaning a long journey by ox wagon...”可以推出这是一次旅程，用动词move(迁移；移动)更为恰当。

53.B解析：此处表示到南非的英国人从住在此地的荷兰人那儿借用了trek一词。

表示“从……”要用from。

54.B解析：从下文的“But some...‘English’words are used only by the people
who borrow...”一句中的But可以得出该空表达的意思应与But后的内容存在转折关系，从而推出“几乎每个说英语的国家的人都知道kangaroo和trek的意思”，即答案为almost。

55.D解析：由上文对“trek”的解释知道“trek”的意思是“艰难的旅行”。

56.A解析：由上文提到“kangaroo”和“trek”两个词可以推出此处应为“其他的”一些英语单词，即答案为“other”。

57.C解析：其他的一些英语单词仅仅被借用和创造它们的人使用，即答案为invent。

58.B解析：此处考查固定短语speak of，其意思是“提及，说到”。

59.D解析：由上下文可以看出，此处表示“只有另外一个澳大利亚人会明白他在谈论什么”。

mean(意思是)，say(说)和tell(告诉)均不合题意，只有understand 为最佳答案。

60.B解析：表示“在聚会上”用介词at。
