第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项
A
Publicity（宣传推广) offers several benefits. There are no costs for message time or space。

An ad in prime-time television may cost ＄250，000 to $5,000，000 or more per minute, whereas a five—minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a short time and new products or company policies are widely known.
Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper，because the reader associates independence with objectivity。

Similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example，Women's Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements。

Readers spend time reading the stories，but they skim through the ads。

Furthermore，there may be 10 commercials during a half—hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.
Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing，their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news releases and find only portions mentioned by the media，and media have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would like.
For example，in 1982，Procter ＆Gamble faced a massive publicity problem over the meaning of its 123—year-old company logo。

To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprove the rumor （谣言). The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However，in 1985，publicity became so troublemaking that Procter ＆Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products。

21. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _____。

A. time saving
B. attentiveness C。

credibility D. profitability 22。

The example of “Procter & Gamble” is given to show _____.
A. the efficient way of disproving rumors
B. the importance of a spokesperson
C。

the interaction between firms and media D. the negative effect of publicity
23. What’s the author’s attitude towards publicity?
A. doubtful B。

passive C。

objective D。

supportive
24。

Which one of the following can be the best title for the passage？
A. Commercial ads are more practical than publicity。

B. Publicity speaks louder than ads!
C。

Credibility weighs more than timesaving。

D。

Little control over media limits publicity’s credibility。

The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes enormously。

The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel，no matter how much we might like to think so.
Trying to criticize writing instantly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us meet with. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to seized a fleeting (稍纵即逝的）thought，the thought will die。

If you seize the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form，no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking what it is。

The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.” In free writing, the goal is to get words down on paper non-stop，usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping，no going back，no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing。

As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be seized on your ipad or your screen.
Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly。

Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near。

Instead of staring at a blank，start filling it with words no matter how bad。

Halfway through your available time，stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product。

Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices。

28。

What is the chief goal of the first stage of writing？
A To get one’s ideas down。

B To choose an appropriate topic.
C To organize one’s thoughts logically.
D To collect raw materials。

29. What prevents people from writing on is ________。

A putting their ideas in raw form
B trying to seize fleeting thoughts
C ignoring grammatical rules
D attempting to edit as they write
30。

In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?
A It improves his writing into better shape。

B It helps him to come up with new ideas。

C It saves the writing time available to him.
D It shows the difficulties of writing on the fly
31. What is this passage mainly about？
A a recommendation of the book Writing Without Teachers
B a distinction between the creative and critical mind。

C a short introduction to Free Writing。

D the writer’s own understanding about a writing process.
D（原创)
The Nobel Prizes in physiology or medicine, physics and chemistry are the most respected prizes in science。

But talk to scientists in private，and many will complain why (besides jealousy, perhaps）are some scientists unhappy with the Nobels?
One reason is that the committees can often be slow to recognize achievement. Alfred Nobel specified in his will that the prizes should reward work done in the previous year。

But experience soon showed that this was risky, as medals were given out for discoveries that later proved questionable。

So a degree of caution is probably advisable。

Sometimes，though, it can lead to strange results. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, for instance, had to wait until 1983 to win a prize for work he had done in the 1930s on the structure of stars。

However, Albert Einstein never won a prize for his theory of relativity. Even though some pretty suggestive evidence had been produced by Arthur Eddington in 1919, relativity，which has later passed every experimental test ever thrown at it，was still considered somewhat risky and obscure.
Another criticism concerns the tradition that no more than three people can share a prize。

Science is rarely this clear—cut。

Take this year’s physics prize, which recognised Peter Higgs for predicting the existence of the mass-bestowing particle that now bears his name. Dr Higgs was only one of several people with a claim. Two other teams--—- Rober Brout and Francois Englert，as well as Gerald Guralnik，Carl Hageh and Tom Kibble--——- submitted papers on the same idea to the same journal that published Dr Higgs's work, all within a few months of each other。

Science often works like this，with different people coming up with similar ideas at similar times. In the event, the committee decided to honour Dr Engler （Brout is dead, therefore unqualified）, whose paper was earlier than Dr Higgs’s but did not explicitly predict a particle，over Dr Guralnik and his collaborators，who were more comprehensive but published a few weeks later.
32。

According to the passage why some of the scientists are unhappy with the Nobels？
A。

because usually the Nobels award work done in the previous year.
B。

just because they envy those who have won the Nobles.
C。

because different people often come up with similar ideas at similar times。

D。

because the Nobles are quite possibly slow to recognize achievement
33。

Who was it that received the Nobel Prize for physics this year?
A. Carl Hageh and Tom Kibble
B。

Gerald Guralnik，Carl Hageh
C。

Peter Higgs and Francois Englert
D。

Rober Brout and Francois Englert
34。

Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “submitted”？
A. surrendered
B. suggested
C. presented
D. provided 35。

The passage is most probably coming from ？
A. a magazine B。

a book review C. a literature work D. a science fiction

I’m not buying an Apple Watch。

It's not because I’m cheap，or a Luddite（反对技术进步的人）。

I’m not buying one because it would make my life too easy, too convenient.
36 That concept lies at the heart of what Silicon Valley is selling and we are so eagerly buying.
There are，in fact，many downsides。

37 , but too often we fail to recognize the full cost of our convenient lives. There's an environmental cos t—think of all those convenient plastic K-cups clogging（阻碍）the ecosystem-as well as personal and social costs.
Convenient food, such as sliced apples and pre-cut, prewashed lettuce, is pricier。

38 。

39 Point。

Click. Enjoy. Every time you order a book from the online giant, you take business away from your neighborhood book-store，perhaps speeding its death。

And it's one less chance for human interaction。

Yes，in theory，conveniences free up time to spend with family or on the golf course, but such optimistic predictions of a leisure bonanza are invariably wrong。

In 1930，economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that “our grandchildren” would work about “three hours a day.”40 。

Besides，tied to our smart phones, many of us never really leave the office。

A We’d also be a lot wiser if we were to embrace difficulty rather than run from it。

B I’m not arguing for a return to the inconvenient Paleolithic （旧石器）Era
C We live in the Age of Convenience.
D But many studies have also cited health costs, blaming the increasing
convenience of processed food for the obesity (肥胖）in the USA
E Shopping on Amazon is wonderfully，magically convenient。

F The techniques vary，but the principle is the same：when we break a sweat，
we learn more.
G the truth is that while we are spending a bit less time at the office, we feel busier
than ever.

It is 41 for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by 42 of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and endless effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don’t believe that, watch an illiterate(文盲) adult try to do it。

School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much 43，but then，if you are very 44 , you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck。

My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second，a 45 of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts。

My three have these things 46 ：they all loved what they were doing. They did not tell, and 47 they catalyzed (催生）a burning desire to know。

Under their 48 the horizons grew wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable。

But most important of all, the truth，became beautiful and very 49 。

I shall speak only of my first teacher because 50 the other things，she brought discovery。

She 51 us to shouting，book—waving discussion。

We could never 52 the subject。

Our guesswork ranged the world. She breathed 53 into us so that we 54 facts or truths protected in our hands like seized fireflies.
She was 55 and perhaps rightly so，for 56 to teach fundamentals. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left。

I could not do simple arithmetic but through her I sensed that abstract 57 was very much like music. When she was fired, a sadness 58 us but the light did not go out. She left her 59 on us. I have had many teachers who 60 in me a new thing, a new attitude and a new hunger。

I suppose that to a large extent I am the unsigned manuscript（手稿）of the high school teacher.

Most importantly, try 68 (understand ） the “culture” of the company ， which is to say its underlying philosophy ； the HR departments often state missions and give cultural statements. You need to communicate in a way that respects their company standards ； this will show that you can fit in 69 that organization 。

Understand a little of what their 70 (compete) are doing 。

This will show that you’ve bothered to find out where their position in the market is.

I was recently told that listening to loudly music is gradually making people lose hearing. I'm sure it has already been happened to my neighbor. For years she turned
a dead ear to my requests to turn her radio down. When she gave a party，she doesn’t have to invite the rest of the street. Everyone can dance with her music in his
own room。

Now a scientist has discovered a certain electronic sounds have strange effects on rats。

He declares they break down，almost paralyzed（瘫）with their legs trembled。

Then it is simply a matter of throwing them out by their tail. I wonder the same thing will happen to my neighbor someday。

Last weekend，a debate was held in my school about whether Tiger Mum approach is wrong。

Students hold different opinions。

20% of the students think highly of Tiger Mum approach because they firmly believe that it can teach a child self—discipline, which is very important for their growth。

What is more，too many Chinese children are ruined with excessive love and care so Tiger Mum approach is a good solution to this big problem.
However，the majority of the students disapprove of this approach，believing that it is rude and even illegal。

In addition，children may become more rebellious and it is more important for them to have a happy childhood。
